Collier's Magazine says: If Governor Wilson is elected President, and his party stand? behind him, the Democratic record will be a splendid one, and the party will remain long in power. If, however, the peanut politi cians and the special agents of the money power in Congress block Mr. Wilson, the result we fully believe, will bt that he will stand as firm as Cleveland, and after a bitter contest in the Democratic party, the Bull Moose party will be swept into office ir 1916, and swept in by the votes of Democrats, who will be as ready to join the new party, if their own party acts badly in it great opportunity, as the Repub licans have shown themselves since the fatal days of June. This is the vision of a true seer. Wilson is apt to be elect ed, and is apt to be backed by a loyal Democratic House. The danger of betrayal, as the party was betrayed by Gorman when the Wilson bill got to the Senate, will be from a reactionary Sen ate. Here is where "the peanut politicians and the special agents of the money power'' will be concentrated. "Hold the Senate and save us" will be the slogan of Wall Street. This is one reason why, after ex-Gov. Aycock's death, this little paper with its thimble-fuli of influence, threw its support to Chief Justice Clark. Simmons has been weighed in the balances and found wanting. He has been reactionary on nearly all his votes. He admits 11 votes against the Democratic minority. He voted against free lumber, against reciprocity, and (the first time) for Lorimer. He and Bailey have voted together, constantly, and Bailey has been repudiated by Texas. Kitchin lacks the backbone his friends thought he had. He talked before nomination and election about putting trust magnates behind prison bars, and then left the State anti-trust law with less teeth in its jaws than before his inauguration. Clark is a man of conviction. He has been consistent in his ad vocacy of the planks in his now famous platform, for decades. He was one of the men picked out by Bryan years ago as of presidential calibre. He is a gen uine friend of the poor man. Simmons and Kitchin have al ready proven that they cannot be trusted in great crises, or under great pressure of powerful in terests. Every man in the State knows that Clark would not fail in a time of testing. But the interests are against Clark. Clark, aside from this main consideration, is the greatest liv ing North Carolinian. He would give the State a prestige in the nation such as it had in the days of Ransom and Vance, or before the war in the days of Badger and Mangum, tiRAVE OPENED AGAINST . ORDERS. The Watauga Democrat and the Statesville Landmark were commently recently on a crimi nal's grave in the mountains on which, no grass grew, while it was growing on graves all around it. We recall their comment as our eye falls on a story in a religious paper, of the death of an infidel lady who died in the city of Hanover, Germany,in the year 1782, and left this inscription to go upon her tomb: This sepulche, purchased for all eter nity, is not permitted to be opened." "One day,"/the story gjes on, "a little green twig pushed its way through a crevice i i the horizontal granite slab" (which had been bound down by ii jn clasps) "and, possibly feed i g upon the very dust of the ole who had defied God, worked 1 sway upwards; till it became a great beech tree." Photos are 4 .ven of the tree, (still pressing the loosened slab against the c lurch wall,) and were taken by Air. E. A. Marshall. ' PROFESSOR" AND "DOCTOR." Taft's campaign is being man a?ed by Barnes, of Albany, one |of the worst types of political >osses of our boss-cursed country, Playing second fiddle to Barnes |is Hilies, former private secre t iry to the President. Hilles is small potatoes and few in a hill, dis main work is nosing through Wilson's books, and distorting his paragraphs. Hilles constant ly refers to Gov. Wilson as " Prof'' vVilson. That is smallness in its essence. Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's Magazine, pays his respects to this sort of silly j ickassery as follows: Now for some of the attacks being made on Wilson, Some of t lem, it must be said, are un worthy because they aFe trivial, *nd others because they are in sincere. Continually calling lovernor Wilson "Dr.'' strikes ome people as smart. It strikes JS as third rate. The man who went through the great fight igainst plutocracy at Princeton, nd then won a progressive >rogram in New Jersey, is Gov. vViison, or Mr. Wilson, or Wil son, and any attempt to jeer at iim because he is a student will oecome more sickening the more .c is repeated. HYPOCRISY? Some of his enemies are calling Judge Clark an "old hypocrite." vVe do not think that is warrant ed by his record. He has been consistent in practicing what he .as preached for 10, these many . ears. The charge of hypocrisy -omes from the Simmons organs, iut is Simmons any sincerer than Jlark? Did not Simmons, when le thought Bryan had frazzled >ut, say that he was tired ol following the Nebraskan to coi)- ciiiucu iand then when Jryan turned out to be the hero >f the Baltimore convention, dio tot this same "old Furnifold," is his followers affectionately term him, hop upon the banc vagon with a hip, hip, hooray! tnd laud Bryan to the skies? Is hat sincerity? Guess we didn't "fall to the )air" — Clark and Ward —any hore suddenly than you fell from the sinfulness of fighting Wilson to ardently supporting aim, esteemed Observer.

Nonpartisan Messages of Good Will Pour in Upon Nomi * nee. Sea Girt Letter in New York World. If Woodrow Wilson had the viewpoint of the average candi date he would be reaping a big political harvest these days from the many thousands of congratu latory letters and telegrams that have poured into the little sum mer capital since the night of his nomination at Baltimore. Never before in the history of Ameri can polities has any presidential nominee been the recipient of such a spontaneous manifesta tion of confidence and satisfac tion from the whole country as has come to him in these con gratulatory messages. From all classes, creeds and parties have come assurances that his nomi nation has given perfect satis faction, and ninety per cent of them assure him that he will be elected. But Gov, Wilson regards them as private messages which siiould not be given to the public without the consent of the writ ers. Ordinarily a candidate for office considers that such messa ges may be regarded as a legiti mate part of the campaign liter ature, but Gov. Wilson cannot be persuaded to that view of the matter. Whenever a letter or telegram is given out, unless the writer gives full consent to its publication, it is stipulated by his secretaries that the signa ture must be cut out. TWENTY THOUSAND OF THEM. Up to date something like 20,- 000 letters and telegrams have been received at Sea Girt. In the litt e cottage adjacenfc-to the Governor's mansion, converted into a campaign headquarters, a 1 score of secretaries and stenog -1 raphers are at work from early ; morning until twilight with the ! huge mass of correspondence that seems to grow larger each day. If the letters were of the I ordinary type of political con gratulation the task cf answering them with sterotyped forms would not be so difficult, but | they are not of that sort. Nearly every message has in it a note of intimate personal in terest which requires such a re- p ] y as Only the Governor can give, and he is very insistent : about courteous treatment of his ! correspondents. During the first I two weeks following the nomina tion he gave instructions that all of these personal letters must be turned over to him to be be dis posed of personally. THE PRINCETON GROUP. Another large group c nsists entirely of letter*, from Prince ton men and they came .from every point of the inhabited globe. In another classification are letters from individual college men notPrincetonians. and these too make up a particularly in teresting collection of good liter ature. Men in all professions, college presidents and school teachers of all grades, pour out their heartiest congratulations to the "schoolmaster of New •Jersey,'* Then there comes book after bjok filled witn letters from Re publicans. Next to them one finds the letters from persons of all classes aid and sug gestions. Two large files are full of suggestions on the tariff. And the letters, almost without i single ezception, are in tevrcs >f friendly feeling and express •& iesire to giye assistance rather uhan to criticise. Another characteristic of the messages is the common express ion oi' religious sentiment. A very laige percentage of the let ters and telegrams state that the writers have prayed for Gov. Wilson's nomination and breathe a prayer for his continued health and strength to carry to comple tion the great work he is called upon to perform. Nearly every writer expresses assurance that he will be elected. Many of the letters conclude with the injunction. "Do not take time to answer this'' But these letters are acknowledged the same as all others. A surprisingly large number of letters have been received from women—wives and moth ers —who express a pronoucced interest in his nomination, not as a matter of political rejoicing but because of what they feel it means to the betterment of American civilization. In fact the letters of congrat tlation show unmistakably that the country at large is looking upon Woodrow Wilson's success it Baltimore not so much in the nature of a partisan triumph as che inauguration of a new era of cleaner politics and a higher morality in American life. LITTLE NAMESAKES. 4 One book bears the label, "Boys." In it are found nothing but letters from fond parents who have named their baby boys "Woodrow Wilson." Most of these little chaps have come in to the world since the Baltimore Convention. About a dozen let ters were written during the con vention to inform the Governor that the christening had beerr TVA.TXJKE 9 ® LAWS.
