"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." ,'OLUMN XV. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JULY 8. 1914. NUMBER 51 DEMOCRACY GIVEN A ROAST. Woodrow Wilson Advance Agent of Adversity Prosperity Must Be Restored to The People. New York American. The Democrats in Washington, aided by a small clique of railroad Republicans, have surrendered the rights of American citizens in the Panama Canal. - They have not merely abandon ed a measure for tha benefit of American shipping, but they have surrendered the independent ac tion of this country, and in all probability, the fundamental rights of this country in the greatest and most important achievement of modern times. If this country had been defeat ed in a disastrous war, it could not have been expected to make a more humiliating surrender of in dependent action and valuable rights than the Democratic Ad ministration in Washington has made at the mere suggestion of Eogland and Japan. The surrender of the eanal is a national disaster, and the party which made that surrender is a continual menace to the honor and dignity of the United States and to the welfare of our citizens. This Democratic party, for the country's good, for the common good of the citizens, must be de- posed from power and deprived ot its opportunities for further injur ing and disgracing the nation. Our citizens who consider pa triotism above partisanship, who think more of the welfare of their of their countrythjrti tieydo of the advantage of any party, should unite to depose the Democratic party from power and to whip its traitorous representatives out of the House of Representatives and out of the Senate of the United States at the next election. It is not merely President Wil SDn who has refused to follow the declarations of the Democratic platform and to supply "the coun try with the adequate navy which that document demanded. The Democratic party has followed humbly and craveuly at the heels of the President. It is not merely President Wil son who has repudiated the Demo cratic doctrine of reciprocity, a doctrine which would have com pensated for the invasion of our markets at home by the opening of reciprocal markets to our products abroad. Trie Democratic party has selfishly and slavishly followed in the Wilson wake for such crumbs of patronage as he has thrown its members. It is not merely President Wil son who is responsible for the au tocratic rejection of an Act of Congress providing for preferential duties in favor of products import ed into this country in American ships. The Democratic party has timidly and subserviently permit ted Wilson to be an autocrat and to dictate its policies for a payment of patronage. ' It is not merely President Wil son who has neglected his duties and the declaration of the Demo cratic platform in regard to the protection of the lives and the honor of our citizens in Mexico. The Democratic party, has endorsed every dishonor and approved every disgrace. ". -: It is the Democratie party whic h should be punished and repudiated. It is the unfaithful Democratic members of the House, of Eepre sentatives and the traitorous Sena tors who should be expelled from office. -- , : ; .; There this country, and it is not possible to remove Proa;1n. nr:i' . ivoiurui 1 UDU1 we end of his four years' term. .Knt if :n i ... - win oe possible to remove ,e democrats in fVmar-aa onrl tn Privethe Democratic " party, of control of the Gommf i W election which occurs in November of this year. The election of this year will not be a party matter. It will be a patriotic matter. - It will be theduty of loyal Amer ican citizens to consider only the welfare of our people and our country, and to remove a party which is a menace to national prosperity and progress. There should be no division among the people on minor mat ters, to endanger the outcome of the Fall election. There should be unity among all patriotic citizens, a determination to prevent any further injury and humiliation to the nation, and a hope that there is still time to prevent the abandonment of the Philippines or any other disastrous act of Democratic disloyalty and stupidity. There is no limit to the injury that the Democratic party might inflict upon this country if it were returned to power with any sort of endorsement of its dangerous and disloyal acts. The country must be rescued from -such possible in jury and the injury already inflict ed must be repaired as far as it is possible to do so. Prosperity must be restored to our people. Our prestige must be renewed and our . national rights and privileges regained. The men named to oppose the disloyal Democrats this Fall must be worthy of so great and so patri otic a task. They must be elected overwhel mingly, not only as a rebute to a traitorous Democracy, but as a benefit to our beloved, country', SLUGGISH LIVERS STARTED PLEASANTLY. No Need to Risk Disagreeable, Danger ous Calomel Now That Dodson's Liver Tone Takes Its Place. Plenty of people thousands ot them have found that it is no longer neeessary to risk being 4 'all knocked out' by taking calomel wheu constipated or suffering from a sluggish liver. .Nowadays uoason's ljiver xone takes the place of calomel. What calomel does unpleasantly and often with danger, Dodson's Liver Tone does for you safely and DleaBantlv, with no pain and no giipe. It does not interfere in any way with your regular business, habits or diit. Calomel is a poison, a form of mercury, a -mineral Dodson's Liver Tone 13 an all vegetable liquid. - Of course i this reliable remedy has its imitators. But Dodson's Liver Tone has been made to take the rjlace of calomel right from the Btart. The label on the bottle has always said so, beginning with the first bottle sold. Ana it is wiaeiy known today how good Dodson's Liver Tone is as a remedy and that Dodson never makes extravagant statements. He says that It' "liv pns rhft liver." overcomes constipa tion agreeably and makes you feel good, and if you are not satisfied hlAtftlv with it Crawford's Drug Store will hand back the purchase price (50c) to you with a smile. Such statements could not be made without true merit to back them up and it is easy for you to prove them for yourself at no cost if not satisfied and convinced, ad Experience Has Tanght Us. If one Democrat will cheat an other in a primary or cenventioa you do not have to guess what he would do for a Republican in an election. Durham Herald. Has Your Child Worms? Most children do.

Where We Need to Make a Change. Give The Teacher More And The Politician Less. Yadkin Valley Herald. - r She is a. frail wee thing, weighs about a hundred pounds and is a bundle of nerve and energy. She teaches school for about 4 months in the year and she gets about for ty dollars a month. That's her. You know her for she taught in your county last winter a,nd she is preparing to toach again next winter about 4 months of the year at about forty per month. Out of her small savings stint ed out of her forty per for "a few months, she is spending a good size amount to attend Summer school in order to better prepare herself for teaching your child and mine, this one hundred pounds of female flesh, who works on a pau per salary and sacrifices her life for your child and mine. And, if she is an exceptionally well equip ped teacher she gets about forty dollars a month. She darns and sews and cooks and studies and teaches through the brief day of her life and we pay ber about as much as we pay a janitor only the janitor gets 12 months work and this frail little self-saorihcing woman gets in some thing like four months in the year and she may get forty dollars per. She gives her life freely, gladly, joyously. And we pay a big, husky man strong and able-bodied from a thousand up largely up that be may perform a service of&"politi- eal nature largely for -the reason that this same big husky able- bodied fellow can -'deliver" a few votes on election day and does er rands for his party. In many in stances, too, the office has been created only for apolitical purpose and the little one-hundred poun der gets her forty a month for training your child and mine for character building, for country- saving purposes. We are mighty poor in this country. Mighty poor. We can not pay these God-blessed, service- crowned women what they are worth in the school room, but we can multiply offices for political re ward little matter how they cost the tax payers. One is only a woman. The other is a man. One is little ana neip less and patient and full of self- saorificing and service the spirit of these the other man can carry water for his party and "deliver" votes. The shoe is on the wrong foot. We ought to pay the little woman more. We ought to save money, public money elsewhere and give the little woman a better chance for this means a better chance for the boys and girls. The scales of justice are not properly balanced. A thousand and up principally up for a useless political job is not right when the little woman who is giving her very life blood for the education of your child and mine is only getting forty a month for a few months out of the twelve. Are these things right Are they! Cart we afford to coop our children up in small school rooms overcrowded "and dark and cold perhaps7 and underpay the, brave little wonaan who works with a God given patience to train the children of our homes! Can we afford this! In its final analysis the blame is on us, you and me. What of poli tics there is in the equasion we are responsible for. - Public sentiment is responsible. As long as senti ment does not care that the little woman is underpaid and the other one overpaid conditions -will not be corrected. We are not making war.on any man. but speaking for justice for the little one hundred pounder who is giving her life in an unselfish way to better therace. If we are too poor to pay her more, let's take off somewhere else and apply to the little school house ann the little teacher who is re sponsible for the work being done in education in North Carolina. And withall there are some who will wonder why " these Tool wo men want to vote." Men who have the ballot can frequently find an opportunity to correct these injustices, but they will not do so so long as they go it blindly and are led without think ing. We work and vote to extend the school term, provide better school houses and pay. the teacher better salary. We should never be ready to admit that we cannot afford x to do these things. We can afford to do these things and we must.- Predicts a Landslide. United States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman made his opening cam paign speech ai Louisville, 111., a few days ago. He arrived from Springfield shortly before noon and was met at the train by a large delegation. Wish a brass band leading he proceeded to the court house where a reception was held. Senator Sherman greeted the vot ers with that peculiar hand-shake, all his own. 1. Senator Sherman at the begin ning of his address, took up the differences between the two fac tions of the Republican party and explained the ' reasons why the party has been divided, as given by the Progressive leaders. "Are you who voted the Pro gressive ticket in the 1912 election Republicans!" he asked, "or have you affiliated .yourselves with the new party! Why, you are still Republicans. The only reason why you voted the Progressive tieket evidently was to punish the Re publican party by putting the De mocrats in power. That is all the Democratic party is good lor, al ways around handy to be used as a sort of lash to punish the Republi can party occasionally. No, it was and is not your intention to kill the Republican party just puuish it." - The senator took a pessimistic view of the wrong way in which the government was being run by the Democrats. He said the last repoit of the Treasury Department showed shortage between money expended and revenue provided of something like $25,000,000, and that before the end of the year it would exceed $50,000,000. "They are appropriating $25, 000,000 to kill prairie dogs and gophers," said the senator, "and a large amount in addition to devise a plan to destroy the boll weevil in Texas. 1 asked one of my De mocratic colleagues from Louisiana which was the worst, the boll weevil in Texas or a free trade Democrat on a sugar plantation in Louisiana, and he has not answer ed yet!" Senator Sherman said that in stead of the Democrats lowering the high cost of living, as they had promised, and still not destroy legitimate industries, they had, by the low tariff, killed many indus tries, such as cotton and sugar, and that the cost of living had continu ally gone higher. He said that several large sugar refineries and cotton mills had been foreed to close on account of not being able to compete with the cheap foreign goods and pioducts now being im ported without duty. - "Everything in this part of 'Egypt' indicates a Republican landslide next fall," Senator Sher manxsaid, -He is very optimistic oyer the general outlook for Re publican victory at the -next election. ; ' If it's printing you need.

Gregory. It was CS years ago that the Dado massacre took place near Fort Drane, In Florida, writes the Rev. Thomas H. Grogory. Major Dade and his com mand of 100 men were attacked by the Semlnoles and completely wiped out, only four of the force escaping. The head and front of the Seminole war, In the course of which this "massacre" occurred, was Osceola, as pure a patriot and as gallant a fighter as ever broke into history. . The Semlnoles were dissatisfied with a treaty that a few chiefs had made for their emigration west of the Mississippi, and when Gen. Thompson was sent to remove them by force they arose, under the leader ship of Osceola, and began fighting for the land that had come down to them from their fathers. They did just what the Americans would certainly have done under simi lar conditions. The United States troops were invaders and the Seml noles resisted them. Major Dade and his men were invaders and the Seml noles killed them. The fact that a little bunch of chiefs, assisted by American "diplomacy" and firewater, had made a "treaty" giving away their country did not seem sufficiently sacred to the red men to justify them in submitting to the American claims. ; Osceola fought like a lion for two years against vastly superior num bers, and in 1S37 was made a prison er by General Jesup, while holding a conference with him under a flag of truce, and imprisoned In Fort Moul trie until his death which took place two years later. Beaten in the field and bereft of their great leader, the Semlnoles re tired to the swampy fastnesses of the everglades and kept up the fight for five years longer, successfully re sisting the onslaughts ' of more than 10,000 American troops. To this day the descendants of the Semlnoles are to be fou.1'-. In the big Florida swamp, preserving in their features and in their courage the characteristics of their Btalwart and gamy ancestors. Osceola had every cause to hate the white man. Ills wife was seized as a slave, and when ho 'protested and threatened revenge h was seized by Gen. Thompson and imprisoned for six days In irons. For this outrage Osceola killed Thompson, for doing which he was dubbed a "ferocious sav age" and declared an outlaw. Great is the mystery of the white man's Justice! It is no wonder that the children of the forest were never able to understand the ethics and re ligion, of the paleface. Stung. London reports the discovery of the meanest man of whom there is any record. This Englishman has just been divorced from his wife for what, do you guess? Wrong. You couldn't guess it in a week of Sundays. The mean fellow carried live bees around in his pockets. Every time his wife went to examine his pockets to see if they needed mending or- for other reasons see any Jest book sheTwas cruelly stung. Unable to endure such treatment, she secured a divorce. She felt that, one of the most ancient of wifely duties and privileges that of inspecting the bottom of her hus band's pockets was not only inter fered with, but was made' a method of torture. The man, of course, argued that he had a right to carry what he pleased In his pockets but the grant ing of the divorce would seem like a denial of this right. So man may well begin to ponder this question: What may a man rightfully carry in his pockets? Canada Field Peas. Canada field - peas, when planted alone, gave better results than when sown with oats in some Texas experi ments, yielding 1.94 tons per acre. Substitute for Lawn Mower.
