TV?- .JO- 4 "HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMNXVI. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 24. 1915 NUMBER 36 ' i " i . . - '.-9 I J fe if 4 T I SEES ffiTOBY SURE Ex-Secretary Ballinger Confident of Republican Success. Thinks Present Administration Has Been a Failure and the Progres siva Party to Be a Thing of the Past. Former President Taft, In the opin ion of Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle, secretary of the interior in the Taft cabinet, will not be a candidate lor 'the Republican nomination for presi dent, unless circumstances should arise that would make Mr. Taft the most likely candidate. Judge Bal linger is confident the Republicans will win in the next national election. "I am not authorized to speak for Mr. Taft," said Judge Ballinger. 'But my opinion is -that he has no thought of becoming a candidate next year. If a condition should arise whereby the nomination of Mr. Taft would appear to be the wisest thing for the Repub lican convention to do, and he should consent to have his name considered, I have no doubt he would be nominated and triumphantly elected. His admin istration has been amply vindicated and every day he is gaining in popu larity. "The Republicans will win next year beyond a doubt. I base this opinion on the utter failure of the present admin istration to comprehend the necessities of business, and its apparent inability to grasp the administrative functions of government. This is exemplified in all its legislative policies. There can be no doubt the American people want peace, but tbey also want our flag re spected. Peace at any price is not ttu slogan of Americans; peace with hon or is. "The Progressive party appears to be practically extinct in almost all sec tions," added Judge Ballinger. "There fore, with the Democratic administra tion discredited with the people, as ii appears to be, I am confident the ok 'organization will triumph in the elec tion of next year, electing not only tin president, but the house of representa tives." Republican Principles Unchanged. "The principles of the Republicai ; party do not differ in any materia) 'manner from the principles laid dowr when the party was organized in 1856,' declared Edward R. Tinker of North Adams, Mass. "The first vote I cast was for Henry Clay in 1844, and l voted for the first Republican candi date for president and for every Re publican candidate since then. In my opinion the Republican party today is as sound as it was in the beginning, and is just as pro gressive as any political party. It does, not need any advice how to run the government. , It was the construc tive policies of the Republican party that made this nation great, and the principle of protection, which has been, and is, the moet important principle of the party, is just as great today as it was in the beginning. You will see that in the next election the people will be heard, and that protection and Republicanism will come back, not withstanding the party has not had a new idea in 30 years. "I have seen defeat and' victory in the 70 years I have voted, and the con ditions today, as I observe them, are more propitious for Republican suc cess next year than at any time when the Republicans, out of power, were seeking to return to power. "I believe in a greater navy and a greater army," added Mr. Tinker. "If we are to preserve peace and the in tegrity of our nation, we must be prepared." Parker's Tribute to Taft. The tribute paid by former Judge Alton B. Parker, Democrat, to William Howard Taft, Republican, at the Suf folk county dinner Saturday night was graceful and sincere. It is true that fr the dignity of the beach and for conservative thought in general the former president lias been a persistent, dauntless champion, and an efficient one judging by recent election returns, tespitp oi,e great defeat. The applause which the . name of Taft was sector: by the Sieffolk county men was warmly -pontanjous. Suffolk has never had much ttatience with the lads and. frins of Progressivism. Brook lyn Eagle.

Condit ons at Manzanillo and Mexico City aused the United States officials rave concern today.

The oper ations of Carranza's troops at Man zanillo are causing foreigners much apprehension. United States today made urgent representations regard ing this. The United States consul there was ordered to keep in close couch with the cruiser Cleveland. A Swedish dispatch today said that conditions in the capitol were de plorable and ghastly. Trying to Force Italy to Fight. Rome, March 16. The political pressure to force Italy to pledge her future course either to the empires of central Europe or the Allies today is believed to have about reached a climax. It has been increasing for veeks. There is reliable informa :ion that the German ambassador aas given formal assurance that Ger ;nany eventually will be able to over come Austria's resistance to Italy's territorial concession demands and chat Germany and Austria would issist Italy's ambitions in the east irn Mediterreanean. The German imbassador said that the marine supremacy of England and France -vould finally crush Italy. The Al- . . i lies representatives nave taken a afferent position. They have unan- mously said that the defeat of Ger nany and Austria is inevitable, even vithout Italy's aid and that if Italy veeps out she will get nothing when he settlement is made. - Asheville Adopts Commission Form Asheville, March 16.

The char er for Asheville is patterned after he Greensboro plan, including the nitiative, referendum and recall. Mexicans Took British Steamer. New Orleans, March 16.

Hill, greatest railroad builder, in thinking that f Kn ftVrtA 1 a . 1 - a mo uue jjb come lor suen a chaage in the control of Federal affairs as will strike off the shackles pot upon American bnsiness by the present Free-Trade administra tion and Congress. The rronhla with business men is that they don't do enough nlain "Business has rights which politi cians are bound to respect." But if business men want to gain the respect of politicians they must speak up. Evidently Mr. Hill thinks so, for in an interview in the Xew York Sim of February 27, he is quoted as saying: You can't make a dead horse get up by kicking it. There are a great many people .out of employ ment in this country, probably more than ever before. What is the reason for this? The old high Tariff days, when business was good, brought people from the agricultural districts to the city. Some time ago we had 70 perceat. of our people engaged in agricul ture, now we have about 32 per ent. As a result there is an in creased population in the cities, and they must be supplied with employment. When asked it he thought Wash ington and the State legislature were going to give business a ehance Mr, Hill said : It hardly looks that way. Dar ing the last year Congress passed tour radical and far-reach iug pieces of legislation the new Tariff act, the Currency act, the Clayton bill and the Trade Commisson act. If they are not enough to deal busi ness a body blow I doL't know what is. The country is full of business men who, like J. Hill, are .think ing of "the old high Tariff days, when business was good" and wishing for a return of those days. furn- When a man sends his money to a distant state for something he can buy just as cheap at home, then he is hot to be pitied when he gets bun coed. The man who wants his town and community to prosper should patronize home industries. It pays to do this. Some Forms of Rheumatism Curable Rheumatism is a disease characterized by pains in the joints and in the muscles. The most common forms are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheumatic Head aches, Sciatic Rheumatism and Lumbago All of these types can be helped absolute ly bv applying some geod liniment that penetrate. An application of Sloan's Liniment two or three times a day to the affected part give instant relief.
