The country will have a lot to
Rive thanks for this time.
The Greensboro News is certainly
doing nicely for the last few days.
Let us make the movement for a
national driveway to the cemetery
unanimous.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then
comes the legislative. It is said
everything comes in threes.
Caleb Powers, of Kentucky, will
yet find it a hard task to get com
fortably seated in congress.
And they have actually painted
one of the street cars. Nothing was
ever needed worse in t'il:i city.
Selfishness will have to be elimi
nated from the bosom of our people
before this will ever be a great city.
We predict that at the next session
of congress a member can get up to
speak without having to get permis
sion beforehand .
Armour says the price of meat and
other things to eat is coming down.
Glad to even hear about it, but we
had rather see the thing actually
happen.
If there had been a few more Can
nons and Roosevelts in the republi
can party there would not have been
a thing left but Taft, practically
nothing as it is.
If all the people who will be finan
cially interested in the location of
the market were eliminated the
kicker's chorus would dwindle down
to about a dozen.
It would probably be the wisest
thing for the Hon. Champ Chirk to
wait and consult the democrats about
revising the tariff before he an
nounces what "we" are going to do
about it.
If the next legislature comes along
and finds that old market house still
here they will have an Idea that Ral
eigh does not want any improvements
at all and the next thing we ask for
we will have to give bond to do it.

vor of the change. I have heard a
number of business men say the
same thing. Public opinion is al
most unanimous for the change. In
my opinion, and I have lived here for
20 years, it would be the greatest
forward step Raleigh has ever ta
ken." And so it goes all over the
city. The business people see the
need of such a change as suggested
It would make a great difference in
our city. There are many good reas-
ons for the change, and not a single
reason against it. .
HOME FOR WOMEN.
The following from the Statosville
Landmark is worth thinking about
"The following appears in th
Charlotte Chronicle:
I saw some time ago where th
good women were preparing to get
up a fund to erect a monument in
memory of the old womqn of the
Confederacy, and it appeared to me
that it would be so much better to
build a home to take care of the old
women who are left, and 'et it stand
as a monument, so I commenced
asking others what they thought
about it. Of all I have asked (which
are many) I have not found one that
does not agree with me. So let us
have a home that we and our child
rcn and grandchildren and their
children will be proud of and will
prove a blessing to the present and
coming generations. All who ap
prove of this plan will please let the
Chronicle know by saying so on
postal. R. H. MORSE.'
"Mr. R. H. Morse is by some re
garded as a crank. Maybe he is, but
n the above he is eminently sound
The Landmark has wondered . for
years why some philanthropist did
not see the pressing need for the
work Mr. Morse suggests, and pro
vide it; why people and organizations
do not build a memorial that will
help the living, those in need of
help, instead of putting so much in
brass and stone. This paper believes
in monuments, but there are times
when the monument would better be
built of something else than brass or
stone. The home Mr. Morse suggests
would be the best monument that
could be built; and the good it would
do can never be estimated.
"We have many orphans' homes
but none too many; homes for the
old soldiers and other benevolent in
stitutions. But there are in everv
community old ladies who are home
less often through no fault of their
own; Many of them are intelligent
and educated; they have served their
day and generation well; but to
ward the end, through force of cir
cumstances, they find themselves
homeless. To them the average
county home is a horror. The accom
modation offered might be entirely
agreeable, but the association of the
class usually sent here would be an
added misery. Why not build
home for these old people?" It would
be a God-send to them and a fitting
memorial. The Landmark has
thought much on this subject for
years and wished that the way would
open. If somebody wil start a sub
scription list this paper will under
take to find $100 for the fund.'
We thoroughly commend the idea
of building a monument to the wo
men of the south, commemorating
the brave part they played in the war
between the states. The storv of
those days and the part the women
took in it should be told in marble.
But in doing that, in building the
monuments, and we believe plans are
under way now which insure the
building of the monuments, the ma
terial need of some of the living
should not be neglected. Should not
be neglected longer, we should say.
North Carolina can do and should
do both. : But if she is only going to
do one now the suggestion of Mr.
Morse, crank though he may be, and
the endorsement of that suggestion
by the Landmark are worth thinking
about.
One thing the legislature should do
and that is make provision for the
wives of old soldiers who are at the
Soldiers' Home. Room should be
provided for these women at the
Home and husband and wife should
be taken care of together. These old
people should not be separated now
The Home certainly can't be much of
a home to the man who has to leave
the companion of a lifetime behind
(n; order to enter its doors. The legis
lature should remedy this and make
provision for both the old soldier and
his wife, as is done in Mississippi
and maybe other states.
But- after that is done the work
will not be half completed. There
will still remain many more. And
after all the veterans and their wives
are gone there will be still many
noble women who will find it im
possible to provide for themselves In
old age. ' A home lot these women
for all time would be a proper me
morial to those other women who
rendered their share of service in the
great conflict between the states.
Press Comment
Coining Drainage Coiiveiiion.
Tlio Irainagc question throughout
North Carolina does not umne em
brace the movoment for the drainage
of swamp lands, but it involves On
importance of draining all our land
uplands us '.-well as lowland. This
question must be considered from
scientific standpoint .-and there is n
better way for the farmers of North
Carolina to get posted on the valu
and importance of drainage than to
attend the third annual meeting of
the North Carolina Drainage Assocn
tton to he held in Wilmington, begin
nig November 21st and continuin
three days. The. Hon. J. A. Drown
of Ohadbourn, president of the Drain
age Association, writes the Star:
I desire to thank you for the art!
cles that have recently appeared i
The Star on the question of drainagi
This is a question of such vital nn
portanee to the whole state, and A
pecially to the territory tributary
Wilmington, that we cannot have too
much agitation. It is my ambition to
make this convention the largest in
the history of the association, and I
will appreciate it very much if you
will keep up a systematic agitation
until after the 21st. One thing tha
I wish to call especial attention to J
that most of the papers treat this
matter as swamp drainage, or th
reclamation of swamp lands. Draip
age is ol equal importance to me av
craee land now under cultivation, and
is the first that should receive atten
tion. as it will so materially increase
the viekl. and do so at very mueh
less cost than It would should we at
tempt to drain the swamp lands first
If the idea prevails that the drainage
question, is only applicable to swamp
lands, neonle will not take bold of it
so- universally as if treated in a gen
ei-al wav. A much larger per cent, of
the people are more vitally interest
d in properly drained uplands than
they are in reclaiming swamp lands.
President Brown calls attention to
in Important teature oc tne uraiim.m-
movement. That is that It covers tne
entire question of drainage, a matter
which we have heitofore emphasi.-
d. Some of the best uplands we
have seen in North- Carolina badly
need 'drainage and in many instances
our farmers no not recognize it mi

welt drained, could be vastly improv

liable, by scientific drainage, terracing
and diking, and all these questions
will be interestingly discussed at the
forthcoming drainage convention in
Wilmington. Among the distlnguish-
d speakers to be here will be a drain
age expert of the National Agriciiltur-
1 Department. , Drainage Cnmnn

Joseph Hyde .Pratt. ..-Congressman
hn H. Small, and others. All tin
ounties in the state should send del
ecates and cet in touch with this great
question.
President HrowiV writes that he is
receiving letters from a good many
of the county commissioners through
out the state informing him that they
re appointing delegates and hope to
have a great attendance at his con
nl ion. WilmiiiBton will be glad to
have '"a grct attendance att his eon

lVrtance of thus progressive miner-
taking, but becaus" It will annru ini

The Lone Socialist.
For the first time in the history of
this country, a member of the organi:
d socialist party lias been elected to
the national house of representatives.
Triumphing over democratic and re
publican opposition, Victor L. IJerger.
socialist, was elected on Tuesday ns a
representative from Milwaukee in the
house.
Those who have paid slight attention
to the spread of socialism know- but
little, if anything, of this man: but to
the students of American politics his
name is synonymous with all that is
sane in socialism. Me is an extremely
intellectual man and does not affect
the wild speech or the uncouth ways
of the "parlor socialists," nor the ab
surd pose of play-socialists on the
order of Upton Sinclair. Berber has a
strong mind, is steady, and can be
counted upon to appeal to reason and
reason alone while-a member of the
popular body of the national legisla
ture. He is a practical newspaper man by
profession. He . was born In Austro
Hungury and was educated at the
Universities of Budapest and Vienna,
but financial reverses compelled his
family to emigrate to America. Berger
began his lifework here In the land
of the free Iri various trades. Then
he was a teacher In the public, schools.
In 1892 he became editor of the Mil
waukee Daily Vorwaerts, of Wahrheit
(German), and of the social democrat
ic Herald (English). Berger was a
"pioneer organizer of the socialists"
He was a delegate to the People's
Tarty Convention In 1896, and since
then has been active in all socialist
political movements. Many pamphlets
spreading the socialist propoganda
have come from his pen. Unsuccessful
as socialist candidate for mayor of
Milwaukee and congress in 1904, he re
ceived five votes for United States
Senator the same year In the Wiscon
sin legislature.
His election at this time is signifi
cant of the growth of socialist political
strength. The socialists are .-. widely

Segregation llet.
That segregation or uie sexes in edu
cational . work is best is the opinion
expressed by President Hamilton, of
Tufts College. Tufts has abandoned
the plan of trying to teach young men
and young women in the same classes
md has opened a special college for
women.. The results have been most
gratifying. The regHiration has been
icreased. the -.students', both of Tufts,
ollege and or Jackson College, as the
new institution is known, have done
letter work and President Hamilton
las assured himself that both the boys
unl the girls like the nuw arrangement
tter than .the old. W do not doubt
it. Coeducation was a fad destined
from the 'first to be. short lived., V'n
fortunately. it lias done a good deal
f bin-in during' the- time, it was in
vogue, but it is passing and passing
apidly. It ought never to have been
ittempted. It is wlioilj unwise to un
dertake to train young thou and young
women together. Bad results are sure
follow.. Moreover. the:. .educational
leeds of the sexes diverge materially.
The mission of the schools is to pre-
are those who attend them for the
lutics of life. That fact ought, to be
borne always in- mind. Hoys get too
much of tlieif schooling from women
ind .young ladies gel too much of
heirs from men. Indeed, we! are--very
much 'inclined to agree with the opin-
in. expressed by a noted educator re
Vhtly that only 'married women
should be employed tn teach" in col-
eges for women. News and Courier.

THE SCHEJfCK MFRDKR CASK.
New Move of Defense in the Case
Will Plead Insanity. ,
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Wheeling. W. Va.. Nov. 14 The
defense in the mysterious poisoning
case of John O. Schenck, the mil
lionaire, whose wife, Mrs. Laura F.
Schenck, is held without bail, made
its firsUdecisive move today when a
Pittsburg detective agency was re
tained. The move is a mysterious
one and the police are unable to ex
plain it.
While Mr. Schenck was somewhat
Improved in the North Wheeling Hos
pital, attorneys held conferences with
a view to having Mrs. Schenck lib
erated on bail. Although the woman
was a domestic when she was mar
ried to the rich packer years ago, she
is said to have made a fortune upon
her husband's business tips and will
spend every cent of it to clear her
name.
The si range case holds all the mys
tifying elements of the poison plots
of the dark ages. Although Prose
cuting Attorney J. B. Handlan has
announced that he will be able to
prove his case against Mrs. Schenck,
he has been baffled at every turn in
securing his evTijence. .
The palatial Schenck home has
been placed under guard of policemen
tnd no one is allowed to enter with
out a permit from Chief of Police
Hastings.
It has not yet been searched but it
is tne intention ot rrosecutor name
an to have the premises "combed"
or evidence.
It was reported today that the
dashing young man with whom Mrs.
Schenck was said to be infatuated
had been given quantities of stock by
U'hen he wns first mentioned In
he ease he was called a' $20 a week
lerk. Now it' developes that he is
wealthv through the gifts of Mrs.
Schenck,
Prosecutor Handlan announced
hat he is ready to go ahead with his
ase despite the absence of Dr. Gre;
ory Atkinson, one of the physicians
who examined Mr. Schenck. Dr. At
kinson is in Chicago and is not ex
pected here for a week.
There is but one more arrest to
he made," declared the prosecutor.
Rumor had it that this man had
fled to Pittsburg. He is said to be
an amateur chemist who coached the
poisoner of Mr. Schenck as to how
much arsenic would cause slow
death and baffle doctors as to its
cause.
Mrs. Schenck's attorneys, O'Brien
and O'Brien, held a conference with
he.- in her cosv nuarters in .1ail. Tile
ttorneys for the defense are said to
he in the dark as to the course which
he prosecution will pursue. Mrs.
Schenck keeps aloof from the other
women prisoners. She spends her
time reading the newspapers and
novels. She is closely guarded to
prevent .suicide, although she has be-
onie much calmer now than when
she was first arrested and apparently
iews her predicament in a philosoph-
al light.
It is said that if the case ever
comes to trial her defense will be in
anity;

New York, Nov. 14 The brilliant
uniforms of five different armies lent
martial appearance to the national

den today, military day, with society
out. in greater numbers than at the
opening Saturday.
tA times the show looked as if it
had been lifted "from the "pages of

American, English, Canadian, Dutch
and French '.cavalrymen, mingling in
the modern version of international
jousting.
Lieutenant Clifford Tipton, of the
Colonial cavalry of Canada, and Cap
tain Douglass Young, )f the Royal
Canadian Dragoons, were two inter
ested army men from the dominion.
Lieutenant Tipton said that horse
shows went far in improving the
quality of army horses.
Major General Leonard Wood,
ranking officer of the United States'
army, with Major General Gaiiington,
und Major Henry T. Allen, . of the
general staff, came to New York for
the military part of the show.
Four of the six men representing
the English military team are Irish.

Better Kouipmriit for National De

Weaver.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
i
Washington, Nov. 1-1- The urgent
need for the creation of mi army re
serve by congress, a force of trained
soldiers who would be under the di-
ect control of the federal government
is accentuated in the annual report
made public today of Colonel K. M.
Weaver, chief of the division of mili
tia affairs of the' war department.
With ".such a reserve corps, he states,
the first line of defense In event of
war would' be -200,000 militiamen, the
100,000 .regulars and at least infl,f,i;0
reserve corps men.
f He devotes considerable attention to
the' alleged' .hostility -of union labor to
the organized militia, saying:
"One of-the 'most regrettable condi
tions in the country in relation to
militia affairs is the attitude of labor
unions toward the militia. It is well
understood that these unions are, to
say the least, unsympathetlcally dis
posed toward the organized militia.
In many cases the sentiment extends
to the limit of actual hostility, and de
barment of members of the organized
militia . from -.membership in unions."
No relief from these conditions, he
adds, can be hoped for through state
or national legislation or "the preach
ing of patriotism."
"Only one real practical solution has
appeared at any point which promises
ratisfiV'toiily to relieve the situation,"
be 'continues. This Is that evidenced
