Judging from the popular fol lowing Governor Wilson has drawn to him, aided by the great work of Mr. Bryan in the Balti more convention, a new spirit of Democracy has been born, mark ing a new era in national politics. In his ambition to le President Governor Wilson from the start has ignored the corrupt boss. He completely ignored the corrupt New York machine last week. If his policy could be summed up in a word, that ' word would be "frankness." He has' nothing to conceal. He desires no honor gained by subterfuge. He gives every man his just deserts. In his great campaign he has given two of the strongest, the greatest evidences of honesty. One is the publication, long in advance of any requirement, of the amount and sources of his fund. He has set a new political standard. The American peo ple will never elect another President without knowing the sources from which financial sup. port is drawn. Bitter experience in the past rises in mind in con trast to Mr. Wilson's new ideal. No Slush Fund for Wilson! Another evidence of Governor Wilson's frankness is a proof of political genius. It is also a new note. In regard to the nomina tion of Oscar Straus on a Pro gressive platform he asys; "They , have put up an admirable ticket and an admirable paltform. It will put us on our mettle." He meets the issue squarely. He. docs not vituperate against his opponents. The hope of the Democrats in Xew York is sole ly in putting tip a better, or as good, a candidate as havie the i'rugressives. inere is no sense in dodging the issue. Democrats over the whole country have a real interest in the Xew York Democratic situation. They defeated Murphy in Balti more. They want him defeated at home. They want as a candi date for the governorship a man who will help the national ticket, not injure it. -o THE CRY FOR PROGRES SIVENESS It is plain to the people that there is an overwhelming spirit in this state, that is clamoring for progressive principles qf Demo cracy, and no power can stem the tide that is going to carry it for ward to victory. There can be no mistaking the militant spirit that is working throughout the state to this end. Since the reconstruction days the people have intrusted their leaders to that party. They must forever stand out over and above all, worthy of that name and this means they must stand firm ly to its principles. The people know the height of that grea standard to which Vance brought it and on this account it has grown to be reverenced in this state. Simon pure Democracy means progressiveness. Its great fundamental principles are not to be scorned, and woe unto the Democrat who scorns them. Although he has fled beyond seas, Archbold has been compell ed to admit that he was mistaken when he said he had contributed $125,000 to the Roosevelt cam paign. He now admits that he gaVe hisTriend Penrose $25,000 to bo used in the Pennslyvania state election, and as there is" no record of this sum going into the tate campaign, an explanation is due from the astute senator. . AS TO CIGARETTES One xt our towns peop'e who is very much interested in the growth and .development of our .city, and of oar young citizenship asks us to" insert the following. The friend who sends the. clip ping says: "One of our city Mftchers told1 me that shadow had hung over her. vacation days, because she expected to have in her grade this year two b"oy who are cigarette sWkersj and she fears they can not master the subjects she has to' teach them because of the injury to their bodies and minds." The most indifferent observer can hardly fail to notice how the cigarette habit is growing. With all our study, our new methods, our efforts to tide the boys over the adolescent period, we can not make real progress if we fail to keep him from the cigarette. The greatest problem lies just here. It faces the teacher; it confronts every mother who starts her six-year-old boy in school. She may be sure that some manly (?) boy, perhaps not much older than her little one1 will offer the new comer a cigarette, and will under take to teach him the art of smoking- , , Theme is no question of the deadly effect of the cigarette. In view of this fact, it becomes the duty of good men to 3eny them selves whatever comfort they may find in cigar or pipe, in or der to discourage entirely the use of tobacco. 1 A recently pubHshed picture of a prominent rule shows 111111 with his mother on his arm while in his other hand he holds a cigar ette. The weed flaunts itself on the pages of much present-day fiction. Hero and heroine pause in exciting moments to give each other a "light." Truly might thin be called the age of nicotine. We have laws against selling cigarettes to minors, but who en forces these laws? ludire Webb of North Carolina, in a recent , charge to the grand jury of Wake county, had this to say: "1 don't want to be cranky about any one thing. I don't know how long I j shall be on the bench, but 1 want ' to see the young men grow , stronir. This is a fast age 'and ! men often don't take time to raise their children. They want to make money fast and get rich quick. They will take cognizance of the death of a pig or the loss of a chicken. "All this time boys are smok ing by stealth, running behind the house where they can't be seen. It would make your heart bleed if you went over this state as I have done, to see the boys killing themselves smoking cig arettes. It is killing hundreds and thousands of them in North Carolina. And it hurts young men. 1 have seen four or five ot the finest young fellows I have ever known, die from this cause. I have made up my mind that if I ever get a man who sells cig arettes to boys, he will get such punishment as will keep him from selling any more very soon. When we see a boy smoking it is the duty of every good citizen to put his arm around that boy and beg him to quit." Mrs. F. L. Townsend in Union Signal. SPECIAL SALE OF TAILOR MADE LADIES' COAT.
