Pass us congress. our check- The American-Mexican commis sioners seem to be enjoying their out ing. The idea of the cynical is that too often the lovers' knot turns out to be a noose. "Greece About to Join the Allies." This is the 899th "about" so far as we can calculate. According to Wall Street the Re publican party is leading by $10,000, 000 majority. Ex-Governor Bob Glenn, . boundary commissioner and bounding ' cam paigner, is to take the stump In North Carolina. This will give an old-time f J" flavor to th0 fight. When the Hon. Bob sheds his 18 or 19 collar, mops his massive, sweating brow with a giant-sized bandanna, and commences to bellow, there is always something doing. However one may not admire, the ex-Governor (generally along pro hibition lines) he must grant that he ,fs a-power on the stump. He knows what to say and he yells it, with fine effect. Ex-Governor Bob will make a wel come addition to-the galaxy of Dem ocratic star speUbinders in North Carolina, but he would be of more value in some other State. The ro bust manner in which he can pro pound Democratic doctrine and pound the Republican party would be more effective in some State that really needs this character of performance. The only thing so far as North Car olina is concerned is to keep the Dem ocrats awake, and this-process can be done without the help of Bob Glenn. Place him on the stump in other States. When it comes to en tertaining the people, furnishing them with that vigorous style of criticism they revel in and touching their hearts with pathetic pictures, Bob Glenn is the man. He is worth all the other cabinet members put to gether, excepting Secretary Baker, Derhaps. in playing this game. We can close our eyes and behold how the audiences addressed by ex-Gov. Bob would gulp hard and wipe the tears from their eyes when he pic tures to them, in that mellow voice of his, what would have happened to the young .American manhoody and VyHaWtnaiiy Republican Maine, after getting off ; the track four years, ago by bumping into an obstruction created-by a "split In the Republican ranks, got ;back on the" track yester day. ' Nothing very surprising in this. IMS true it may have dissipated a wee bit of al hope on the part of the Dem ocrats, but it is hardly surprising. Even those optimistic Democrats who loye to think that everything is pos sible must, have about given up hope when it was announced that the Dem ocratic campaign manager In Maine only claimed the State by 3,000 plu rality. Deducting the . usual amount of bluff from these figures it was clear that nothing was left. Maine has never been Democratic since the War Between the States, save four years ago, when Roosevelt's Bull Moose deflection gave the elec toral vote to Wilson; but then only by a plurality. Maine never has been essential to Democratic victory either. It was against Grover Cleve land each time he was elected and its electoral vote four years ago was not needed.

Now for the Republicans to extract triumph from the Maine results and the Democrat's consolation. Today is the day that Cole Blease either wins or scares lots of South Carolina folks white-haired. The Nebraska man who ate nearly one hundred eggs at one sitting proves that as well as a good eater he is a good spender. ino aouot collapse of the bridge over the St. Lawrence will be charged to some invisible, wireless bomb out rage on the part of the Germans. The voters of Georgia today are set tling the great question of who shall be Governor of their great State upon the Issue of Leo M. Frank. Still the embargo Germany has placed on all save Turkish tobacco will not hurt the Turkish cigarettes which are made -in America. , The fellow who gets it into his head that he can get far without hard work is going to endure hardship in the end. Talk about the prohibitionists try ing to capture the Bull Moose voters, -whoever heard of a Bull Mooser dry ing up? The Republicans are playing the game this time for all it is worth. If they lose it is not going to be by omission, as they are omitting noth ing. They are not only appealing to every side with workers appropriate to that side, but they are indulging in novel schemes of advertising and are going into every nook and crev ice to reach the people. They recog nize that the masses control the elec tion and they are going after the masse3. Blazing electric signs, proclaiming the alleged virtues of Hughes and the alleged sins of Wilson; a special train "manned" all by women to the middle west and into the far west; shops to dispense souvenirs to peo ple in the poorer sections of New York; tons and tons of literature, to say nothing of the personal and inces sant work of Hughes, armed with the handshake, and the multiplicity of mystifying speeches of Roosevelt, are all to be indulged in. This is a little spectacular and, perhaps, some superfluous, but the Republicans probably realize that it is better to be an hour too soon to catch the train than one minute too late. All this activity should stir the Democrats. They can't afford to take chances. They, too, must get among the masses.. Dignity is a fine thing, but, unfortunately, dignity that is in active never wins in an election Then, too, the chance to go before the masses is such a splendid one for the Democrats. They have the cause, they have the record and the man that fit the masses. Their's is not a bunco game. WELL TO ARM THE PRESIDENT. If Mr. Wilson is a "pin head," ac cording to the Republican allegation, lie Is at least a safety-pin head, and that is what the country needs. '. With the , Maine victory yesterday we bet the handful of Tar Heel Republicans- have commenced selecting what postmaster and other Federal jobg they want. The modern-day banauet is Mftcr. nt from the old-time affair. w V Tl i in a orata rVi a n rn in trat ..11 -. V. . -wmx tas.'v vj-m.v w h v w lull fir ini nr. V' tnatlon hfor h ceta fnii . thing else. Of course, Mr. Hughes will think that his standpat ideas carried the While the revenue bill was shorn of the Phelan amendment and elim inated of the one by Senator Cham berlain, the Thomas amendment was left standing. That is fortunate and probably arms the President suffi ciently to face "hold-ups" on the part of foreign nations. The James amend ment wag also allowed to remain, which provides another weapon. The former would authorize the Presi dent to decline clearance to vessels of countries that place embargoes on American products and the latter would empower the President with re taliatory authority in case foreign countries interfere with American commerce. Such legislation is well. It is not mandatory, and therefore it could not injure through blindness. It does place a weapon in the hands of the President, . to be used at his discre will vote inOOOn nr thprpahruits if con- proves nothing. It would have proved ditions are normal. The Republicans! something extraordinary had it gone Democratic. That is the sum total of it. To argue that Maine did not settle the election on National issues is fool ish, however. Maine did settle it on National issues and goes Republican. If this forecasts anything at all it is that Maine will vote for Charles Evans Hughes in the November elec tion. It's true there may be a change in sentiment in Maine between now and the November election day and the Democrats can do missionary work there such as they did not do in the campaign leading up to yester- day's election, but the Democrats will find it profitable to let Maine alone; devote their time, energy and ability to other States. Maine's electoral vote but six is too small in com parison with what is needed and what many other States (each State) pos sess in the electoral college. There is a lesson and satisfaction to be drawn from the Maine result, however, by the Democrats. The Re publican majority on National issues, as reflected in the election of Na tional representatives, so far has not reached ten thousand. This is indeed a small majority in a State like Maine. The combined Progressive and Republican vote in 1912 gave nearly twenty-five thousand majority aeainst Wilson. This would indicate that on the National question the Democrats have gained more from the Progressive ranks than the Re publicans, or at least that the Demo crats have gained more votes than the Republican cause. This ratio ap plied to other States, which have never been so strongly Republican, or other States that went Democratic in 1912 simply because of the Roose velt split, would give those States this time to Wilson by a majority vote. The Democrats should stand more chance, too, of gaining con verts in States which have never been so unalterably Republican and where the seed of the Republican protective tariff is not so firmly planted, as in Maine. This question of figures is about the only logical argument that is re flected by yesterday's results in Maine notwithstanding how the Re publicans may bluster and bluff and some Democrats may attempt to paint other roseate pictures. mustering soon. The Republicans de clare that they voted like smoke in the Democratic primary in June and the Democracy then received but a bare 4,000, a few running to 4,300. Chairman Ward! of the Republican committee said today "we will come to Raleigh with a majority. Only; Raleigh can beat us." Taft did that trick eight years ago, but Taft would fall down 'on a come-back now. Stuart B. Marshall, of the Tallassee Power Company, has returned to Badin after a business visit to Ral eigh. Mr. Marshall's contribution by in terviews and by personal statement to the newspapers would probably fill out half a stick, but while here the story came from Albemarle that there are 1,500 men working on the big dam which is to furnish a power which is almost unmatched in this country. He would not say when the dam will be finished. The floods hurt the com pany greatly and delayed the com pletion. "When do we expect to begin mak ing aluminum?" he asked. "We are making it now and have been doing so thirty days. I don't know whether it has been in the papers or not. I don't think it has. We don't talk in the papers. A great many very ob jectionable things have gone out by the papers that wrote us up as the Hopewell of North Carolina and that sort of stuff." Badin has been vict imized as other places by land specula tion. The aluminum works will em ploy about eight hundred people. The power is being furnished by the Southern Power Company. GETTING READY TO NAIL MR. LINNEY the other way reacting from the hard official word that offends people. The judge has some knotty cases this week . He is to try the young fellow E. S. Thomas, who' is under indictment for attempt at criminal as sault upon Miss Eula Nunn on a Pull man car a few nights ago and there are two homicides likely to be tried The judge will be here all the year. Leslie Green was pardoned today by Governor Craig after a service of 27 months in a sentence of three years Green is a Wayne county man only 21 years old. He has a severe case of tuberculosis and can live only a short while, the Governor says. So licitor Walter D. Siler recommends the pardon along with the county phy sician. State Treasurer B. K. Lacy was again in his office today after an ill ness of several days Mr. Lacy's absence from the cam paign has been forced by the illness. He has a number of political appoint ments and when he recovers from one of the severest attacks of asthma since his early manhood, he expects to take the stump in reply to the Re publican speeches against his office. The board of internal improvements furnished the basis for the attacks on the Lacy office. The treasurer was expecting a good shelling from Chairman Frank A. Linney and has received the report of the Republican leader's speech in Asheboro September 2, when Mr. Lin ney addressed such a tremendous crowd at a county convention. MANY PEOPLE SEEK TUBERCULOSIS EXAMINATION The fact that during the past sum mer there were only two arrests on Wrightsville Beach, a spot thronged by thousands, and these arrests not as the outcome of a public disturb ance, attests to the peacefulness and the safety of this big resort. It is a record to boast about and one that always assures safety to the thou sands and thousands that crowd the beach every season. MONEY ON THE TRACK HELD UP A TRAIN (Special to The Dispatch.) Raleigh, Sept. 12. Typewriters in Democratic headquarters clipped off the 110-minute speech of Frank A. Linney made recently in Asheboro, and today handed all the copies over for use in the campaign from now on. Mr. Linney's address which bore so heavily upon State issues has been very generally discussed today. It is not admitted by those who read it to read worse in its entirety than does the emphasis which .newspaper ac counts laid upon it. The Democrats have been on Linney's trail since he spoke first in Greenville, but thus far they have not felt called upon to bring him to book for anything said openly or indirectly. The Asheboro speech is admittedly a great improvement upon the Green ville address. It reads better and is People Rapidly Learning That Early Treatment Is Only Cure. Sanatorium, N. C, Sept. 12. On ac count of the great demand for free tuberculosis examinations at the State Sanatorium at this time, Dr. L. B. Mc Brayer, superintendent, makes the an nouncement that it will be necessary for all physicians sending patients to the Sanatorium for this examination to write beforehand and make an en gagement for this service. This is necessary, explains Doctor McBray er, for the reason that it no infre quently happens that on certain days the office is overrun with patients who come without an engagment some of whom have to return home and make a second trip . in order to get the exanjnajtion. Furthermore, ha says that uncertain work of this na ture interferes with the regular work of the institution and causes no little inconvenience to the examiners and to the applicants as well. Applicats for this service are further requested to better prepared. The Republican chairman does not write speeches and come in tne forenoon between the .Maine. election and Mr. Roosevelt willi tion. When foreign countries know J reflect' that his progressive principles -did It; thus once again showing the paradoxical bunco-game which the Republican party Is offering the peo ple in effort to make them swallow it. that he is so armed it will have a beneficial effect. Whereas if they realized he was powerless and Con gress was on a vacation they might grow bold and inflict undue hardships. Bisop, CaL, Sept. 12. Because a large monkey belonging to Miss Ka therine Smith was not served break fast at, the usual hour the other morn ing he" went on a widespread ram page and bit a young lady in the ankle, ut could not make a meal of it; climb Jd all over a man he disliked, and fin ally held up a passenger train. The Southern Paeific Company, through its engineer and fireman, was astonished and frightened when the monkey, half standing in the middle of the narrow-gauge track and grim acing, horribly, confronted the locomo tive. The face was too much for the" company and the engineer shut the throttle and threw on the brakes. The started passengers got off and helped chase the chattering monkey away. The conductor delivered him self of an oration that wouldn't have served as an eulogium at the monkey's funeral. v As a climax he got mixed up, scramble-egged fashion, with a man named Mr. Monk, and scratched his face se verely. ,The twoeaged Mr. Monk objected, and when he could find a gun he, pumped shot into the four legged monk until he resembled a sieve and ceased to breathe. His mis tress is disconsolate. no two sound much alike in language. The general attack is much the same. The treasurer and the superintendent of public instruction catch it. The treasurer is assailed by "Marshal Charles Webb's brother." as the Re publicans have it, and Dr. J. Y. Joy ner is lambasted upon the party's own responsibility. The Republicans do not ask aid from the Democracy. This follow-up system for a time was supposed to have been the pre cursor of a challenge to joint debate. Democrats expected it to come from the Republicans. Each gubernatorial candidate has had stenographers upon his trail. Each candidate has perused with infinite care what the other has said. Everything trends away from the joint issue a3 the days pass. Hours of and 11 a. m That this service is in demand by the people, thinks Doctor McBrayer. is evident of the fact that as a result of persistent health education, par ticularly as to tuberculosis, its cause, cure and prevention, that both the peo ple and the physicians , are realizing that early recognition and treatment are the only sure means of cure for this disease.

The best and 1c cerns nown and most successful Real Estate Con- Renting Agencies in Wilmington are those which avail themselves of modern means and methods of projecting themselves into prominence. The question that must be answered by those who as sume the responsibility of finding tenants for apartments and houses is: "What kind of a sign makes the best impression on property owners For Rent' or 'Rented ?" Liberal use of The Wilmington Dispatch's Business Spe cial columns will bring the "For Rent" and "For Sale" signs down ancl put "Rented" and "Sold" signs in their places. This result is the natural sequence of intelligent publicity applied to all problems of selling and renting. Hundreds of people have not yet definitely decided upon another residence place for this season. The desire to buy their own homes is being born in the minds of hun dreds more. Mental attitudes regarding domestic en vironments are changing constantly. Enterprising Real Estate men who realize this and display enterprise that is measured by aggressive advertising will keep them selves in the foreground of the development and pro gress of Wilmington. An this is a big cashing-in season an important period for the proper exploitation of apartments and houses to rent, and real estate for sale. A desire for change must be appeased by new sur roundings, and the right kind of advertising RIGHT NOW will be productive of paying results. A profitable clientele awaits your cultivation among The Dispatch's big family of homeseekers. An aggres sive advertising campaign will score an unusual business triumph for you.
