“Right smart of canned stuff they’ve

Canning clubs of North Carolina and
sent here to show those who go to the
Housewives' League exhibit what
good little Southern girls are made of.
“Yes, there’s a Housewives’ League
exhibit at Grand Central Palace. Some
people haven’t realized it yet, because
the Women’s Jndustrfal Exhibit also is
there. They are running stimultane-

Secretary Wilson is not in favor of
compulsory arbitration of disputes

doubtless be the attitude of Mr. Post

person specially identified with either! may in
capita! or labor, but by some one who
could hold the balance true between
the conflicting claims and interests of
the two classes. Mr. Wilson is a rnis-
fit in the place as much as would be
Mr. Post or Mr. Schwab.

The protest of The State, ^ which is
made in behalf of civilization and with
out apology for South Carolina’ft short
comings as to unpunished crime, is a
deserved rebuke to those who approve
the vuglar and unwholesome practice
of extolling and glorifying deeds of
murder. The State says:
“Down here in South Carolina it is
true that scarcely a day passes that;
there is not the crack of a pistol, snuff
ing out some more Dr less worthy life.
“Usually, however, these deaths re
sult with more or less directness from
an uneconomic point of view as to the

The Optimist.
(By Dr. Frank Crane )
Be an Optimist! Optimism is the
product of healtjj. Pessimism is tne
fruit of a diseased body, brain, or spirit.
The whole universe is an arena for
the tremendous battle eternally going
on between the forces of vitality and
the forces of morbidity, bptwetn down-
pulling and up-building energies, be
tween hope and despair, between the
unafraid and the panic-stricken.
The agents of death sWarm in the air,
lurk at every corner of your path, dog
your steps nig^t and day. Failuie
threatens, accidents happen, enemies
are after you, microbes are everywhere.
Think of these things, and it is all over
with you. The man afraid is half
whipped. __
Circumstancrs have nothing to do
with Optimism. Even the sick-rooinof
an Optimist is a bulwark of encourage
ment to the whale household.
Facts do not cast down the Optimi?t
If he is cheated he makes' the sw indler
ashamed. If he is beaten he never
knows it. V/hen Trouble visits him
she soon leaves because she is not
offeied a chair. If he stumbles he
fights on his knees.
Any human being’s will is the soul’s
citadel; all hell cannot take it unless it
surrenders. The W’ill clears the brain,
inspires the heart, nerves the hand,
and makes the foot sure.
The Optimist is the one who is linked
with the great health*foi^c-ccnstructive
powers of the universe.- The stars in
their course fight for him.
The Will is the central fire of the
Optimist. And the Will is a piece of
Almighty God, given gratis to him
who*will use it.

That there are 61 knitting mVls in
the State of North Carolina, 51 of
which have an aggregate of $3,944,225
capiral, is the showing made in the
knitting mill chapter of the forthcom
ing annual report of Commissioner of
Labor and Printing M. L. Shipman.
The approximate amount of raw mate
rial used by 41 of these mills is 14,731,*
119 pounds, the data as to this not be
ing in hand as ta all'the mills. The es
timated yalae cf the output of 43 of tHe
n?ills is $6,811,694. The North Carolina
rails use 60,861 spindles, 8287 knitting
m-4chines, 753 sewirg machines and
248 cards. There are 8,157 employes, of
whom 2,721 are males and 3,064 female.
There are 1,752 children employed.
Wages average $2.68 for men and $1.68
for women. It is estimated that 97 per
cent, of the employees can read and
write.

Senator Yardman.
Notice how well Senator Vardamnn
has been holding up his end in the de
bate on racial matters connected with
the agricultural extension bill? He
shows better in The Congressional
Record, too, than in the brief press
reports We v/ould rather he had
omitted one of the assertions he made
Friday, but on the whole he has spoken
with moderation and sense. This
conduct leads us to deprecate the
impressions in many minds that Mr.
Vardaman ii or ever was a political
crudity. He no doubt played that part
during his earlier career--not altoge
ther without sincerity and justice,
either, because Mississippi was one ol
those Southern States where some
turbulent popular upheaval against
conditions resented with far sounder
instinct than knowledge or taste could
be excused But he never overplayed
it »or over-relicd upon it as certain
-others have done, and there was never
a period when he did not show .distinct
capacity wid preference for public life
on a higher plane.
He was and is a man of ability, lib
eral cultivation and liking for such
things as good literature. He always
was what the late Senator Jeffries
Dayis of Arkansas, most conspicuously
never could by any possibility become.
So the usual civilizing effect of the
Senate upon political wild men rated
charlatans with various degrees of
justice or unjustice was hardly needed
for him. He is a not unworthy collea
gue of John Sharp Williams—whom,
by the way, we are glad he fell a little
short of defeating m their senatorial
contest three years ago

Infamous Lie.
Denouncing the allegation as an
“infamous lie,” United States Senator
T. P. Gore from the witness stand in
district court in Oklahoma City Mon
day declared that charges of improper
conduct, the basis of $50,000 damage

coterie of disappointed office seekers,
intended to bring him into disrepute
and wreck his chances for renomination
at the primaries in Oklahoma next

The Factory in the Home.
The Wilmington Star takes due no
tice of the proposition of Mr. Julian S.
Carr, Jr,, to establish the factorv in
the home in Durham, his plan being to
supply women and children with mach
inery and material for work in their
homes in the manufacture of cotton
goods. The idea is thus to give em
ployment to a la.ge class of labor that
cannot get to the regular factory work.
The Star thinks this is an innovation in
North Carolina, a) d so it is, but it is
one The Observer has advocated for
years past as particularly applicable to
conditions in Charlotte, where electric
power is abundant and cheap and
workers plentiful. It has been adopt
ed in Charlotte on no organized basis,
such as has been employed by Mr. Carr
but in single in^ances it prevails all
over the city. The number of women
and chiWren who make a living as
manufacturers of cotton goor’is outside
the factory, laboring in their own
homes sjrprisingly large. All the same
tfie^broadening of the plan after the
method adopted by Mr. Carr is greatly
to be desired. There are great possibi
lities in it both for the manufacturer
giving such employment and for the
women and children who are thus giv
ing work and wage.—Charlotte Obser

An Unexpected Reason
(PI iladelphia Telegraph )
Congressman Edward L. Hamilton of
Michi^fan told this one r>t a recent din
ner, when reference w^as made to the
(bad breaks that are occasionally made
by the liLtie kids.
Some time ago a friend of the fanpi-
ily remained for dinner at a certain
happy litle home. Th^ friend had an
appetite that would have made a
boarding-house hustle to raise the rates
and as he stowed away the fodder in
great quantities, he was interestedly
watched by Edith, the little 6-year-old
daughter.
“Say* Mr. Smith,” she finally re
marked, do wish you were here at
dinner every day.”
“That is certainly very sweet of you
little one,” beamed the guest * I am
afraid that you would get tired of tne.’
“Oh, no. I wouldn’t was the young
ster’s startling rejoinder. “If you
were here every day we wouldn’t have
nay scraps to eat tomorrow.”
An Indemnity Already
Spent.
Savannah Morning News.
There is an old story to the effect
that a recipe for servirg quail should
b^in in this way, “First catch vour
bird.” That story might be read with
profit just now by Colombians who
are talking of how they mean to spenH
$25,000,000 indemnity they expect to
get from the United'States because
Co). Roosevelt, when he was president,
“took” the Panama canal zone.
Wouldn’t it he well for Colombia
actually to get tha*; money before
deciding how each dollar of it is tc be
spent? If she does pet it, however,
she could not spend it in abetter way,
or in a. way that would better please
the United Slates, than in public works
as is planned. If any large part of it
were swallowed up by 'grafters the
people of this countrj’ would feel
chargin because their money had been
uaed to feather the nests of such men.
They would approve its exenditure,
however, upon such public works, for
example, as the establishment of i
modern systems of sanitation in
Colombian ports, the building of rail
roads for the development of the
country and similar improvements.

Most Rubber Reclaimed
(World’s Work.)
With the echoes of the rubber fam
ines still in Dur ears when Para rubber
sold for $3 a pound, with the clamor of
the industrial world for substitutes still
sounding nature and man came to the
rescue with extraordinary promptness.
Actually there had been a shortage
of crude rubber f Jr twenty years be
fore the so-called rubber tamine. It
was not acute, and it is doubtful if
even the rubber manufacturers real
ized its presence. To offset it they
employed a great variety of plastics,
resins, waves, besides scores or exceed
ingly low grade' rubbers. The most
important “assistant,” however, was
reclaimed rubber, this is wornout vul
canized rubber, fiberized, cleansed and
returned, approximately, to its original
crude state. So importaut has this^
part of the rubber industry becomn
that since 1880 the United States has
used two pounds of reclaimed rubber to
one of crude. And the resulant prod
uct was not only cheaper, but better in
the majority of cases, than if the re
claimed stocK had been omitted.

rose over a hill.
The old man stopped short in tha
middle of a speech and gazed at the

Secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, has been received and in this
Mr. Troy says that he believes the
work will be done at an early date.
This road will go through an impor
tant territory and if built would be
of great benefit to this section. The
question was agitated last year, but
on account of the condition of the bond
market the matter wa^ held up for

Electric Wheel Chairs
(The Electrical World.)
A concession has been made to a Chi
cago company to op rate two hundred
electric motor-driven chairs at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition, in San Francis*
«o, in 1915. These chairs will seat two
passengers, and will be operated in a
manner similar to the familiar “man-
power”Jchairs now in service in Atlantic
Citp, Palm Beach and other resorts.
A small motor placed under the chair
seat is connected to the two rear wheels
of the chair by ans of chains, and
the electricity for operating the motor
is drawn from a small storage battery
under the wicker dash. The speed of
the chair is 3 1-2 miles an hour, al
though speeds ranging from one to ten
miles an hour may be obtained. A
small foot pedaljunder the floor of the
car actuates the braking mechanism
and the controllers. By various pres
sures yi *he pedal the controller can be
operated to give four different speeds.
