But at that the Palm Beach suits are cheaper than overcoats. May we tremblingly inquire if the reign of the rain is over? It has also been definitely determin ed that the secret society was not or iginated by a woman. A White . Bdok on Mexico appears a color scheml, when one remembers that Mexico's- record is black. Too many! people get so enthused that they thoughtlessly make a good fight for a bad cause. "Bear Meat Good to Eat." Certain ly, but really isn't all meat you eat bare? . ? Mr. Taft possesses too much avoir dupois to make a graceful flop as he is now doing. The only kind of monarch that we believe in is his majesty, King Cot ton. As "a man is known by the com pany he.keeps," the public is very apt to condn&ljhjptji Taftapd-Rcjoseyelt for associating "with eScn dlHer Somehow one cant help from feel ing sorry for those misguided parents who are today naming their newly ar rivals Charles . Evans Hughes. The gent who not long ago claimed that theN world is going insane may enjoy a short time of saying "I told you so," when the world baseball series begins. Bob LaFollette declares that the eight-hour bill was not a force bill, and Bob LaFollette dosen't profess to be a Democrat nor to possess any love for Mr. Wilson. Grave diggers of Long Island have gone on a strike. Would that the Eu ropean variety, at work in France, Russia,- Austria-Hungary and the Bal kans would start a sympathetic strike. . Press reports tell that Mr. Hughes spent yesterday in seclusion. Noth ing like getting used to what will be forced upon him after a certain day next month. J. Frank Hanly, the Prohibition presidential nominee, declares that he believes this country should inter vene in Mexico. Nothing dry about that remark. The Governor of the Danish West Indies doesn't think the people of that island want to become citizens of the United States. Perhaps, the esteemed governor is afraid he will lose his job. We suppose John D.'s declaration that he has never touched liquor in his life is good prohibition argument, but somehow we have an idea that the wily "morally stunted" are apt to point to him as the horrible example of an abstainer, who can Injure the country by the trust route. The chap who yesterday yelled from an enthusiastic crowd that greeted the Mr. Wilsen.Vthat "we want? to see our. President," hit the nail on the head. Wilson is "our" President; the President of the entire country. Would Mr. Hughes be such? Hardly, in view of : the way the money-changers are backing him. It is told that the last time Taft and Roosevelt met, before Tuesday night, was when they were pallbearers at the same funeral. Then, Tuesday night was not an exception to the rule They can be considered pall bearers at Mr.- Hughes' political ob- t- K -sequies. V: . ELUSIVE .ts lRIGHT The Raleigh Evening. Times is of the opinion that "should Hughes, bejingf splendidly for & good wood elected he would be more apt Jd .oj low Roosevelt than the Gennan Ame'rican element, he is so careful not to offend." That is our opinion, too. Theodore Roosevelt seldom takes a chance on leaders. Unless he can dictate to them or feels that he will be able to exert strong influence he is against them. But the words of condemna tion of Germany and of Wilson for not intervening in Belgium while those of Roosevelt but echo the thoughts, in general, of men -lite Boies Penrose, Henry Cabot Lodge, Reed Smoot and the like. Hughes is too strongly allied with these men, owes them too much and is yirtually With out their support he would still be on the supreme court bench, and without their aid at present his de feat would be conceded everywhere. The great moneyed interests of Wall Street, that float Anglo-French bonds, are for Hughes. These things prove the case, but, in the meantime, Wiifirhps sidesteDS and caters for votes on every hand and wfth para doxical sins of omission. For the specific ' reason assigned above, German-Americans are mak ing a mistake in advocating Hughes. Others, save those who .are associat ed with or bow allegiance to Wall Street, will make a mistake if they vote for him. A candidate guilty of duplicity would be a dangerous President. NOT ABOVE SUCH TRICKS. While natural causes, and some un natural action indulged in, taking the former as a cloak, are probably send ing up the price of necessities, it may be so that the Republican plutocrats are helping push the game, in order to frighten the voters. This is an old trick of the Republican bosses. They have been known to close down in dustries in order to scare voters at the last minute and to predict that others would be shut-down should the Democrats get in power or retain con trol. As the Republican bosses con trol "big business," or have strings tied to them by those who do control i such, why it is not impossible for them to perpetrate deeds of this character. However, the people, by now, should be aware of the trfcks of plutocracy and should stand, ready to Joil them. If "the interestgwottld cjgage pression, by closing plants' or sendr ing up prices, it could only be tempor ary, as they would iaot be allowed to throw plants into the junk pile, even if they had that desire, should the Democrats retain control. And it will probably occ:;ioaievOod citizens th'af'it is bi6S$ire pain for a brief time than to enjoy short re spite from it and then have agony grip the body for the rest of their lives. The process of having a tooth pulled is not a pleasant one, but to. endure a toothache, without having the-'' tooth filled or yanked out, is by far more painful and would be last ing. THE GREAT ERICAN GAME. Such is interest in and love for the great American game of baseball that for about a week or so, beginning Saturday, all other news, short of a National calamity, will be relegated to the background. Into the remot est corner . of this country will be flashed the news of the world's base ball series, and, with all due defer ence to the importance of the office and to the intelligence of the people of this great country, there wiil be thousands who will 100k with more eagerness to finding out the result of the games than knowing what either Hughes or Wilson said, and the Brooklyn and Boston ball teams will be known by folks who probably can hardly remember who is vice-president of the United States. Perhaps, this is not something derogatory of governmental service but a tribute to the great American game. WILSON'S RECEPTION, His approach almost unheralded, certainly not worked up by press agents and prepared for by barkers and whoopedup by lieutenants, Presi dent Wilson was given greeting along the route yesterday on his way to Omaha. t was a big tribute. Yet, there was something bigger than that. It was the type of the people who greeted Wilson and their frankness and sincerity. It was a gathering of the people. It plainly showed that the masses are going to be for Wood row Wilson and well they should be. He stands between them and the rush and crush of the' great moneyed pow ers. It is Wilson, as the representa tive of the people, against Wall Street, Which will the people choose? "The President did npt make any speeches yesterday. He adhered steadfastly to; his idea , of the conduct of a presidential campaign. For our part, however, we believe he should speakrmore; 'ctn order to whoop 'em. up, but simply, because there , is nothing undignified in speaking on the great nolicies nf mvprTimunt t0MbO$Pti LP-EXKI BIT. W! understand that things . are pfiiie&ib&.at the State fair in Ra leigh. That Is well. The faii-should stretch out in an endeavor to develop new lines and there is nothing, per haps, that can be' utilized with more profit than the wood grown In North Carolina. But this fact has not been .sufficiently impressed upon the peo- ' . - ... i iPle, or they have certainly not real ized its importance. Consequently, not only is, valuable time being lost, but a resoutce of great worth il going to waste. ' . . - A wood pulp exhibit, with informa tion pertaining thereto, should and, no doubt, will be a feature of the State fair from which -much profit can, be derived. Full information is necessary, as naturally there.. -will be many points that will appear cloudy to the average man, while skepticism will not be removed from the breasts of those who possess such unless they can 'be clearly informed.. It would ' be an excellent thing if Mr. Bion H. Butler and his associates ,could induce Mr. W. H. Crocker, who is now in Wilmington, to become a naW of this exhibit. Mr. Crocker would be a valuable man to be in attendance, to explain wood pulp and the paper mill business. We doubt if there is a man in North Carolina so well posted as Mr. Crocker. He could at least give those who behold a clear understanding of paper-making and the situation in North, Caro lina. From witnessing 'the wood pulp exhibit and after hearing Mr. Crock er, a fairer verdict could be rendered. There would be more of an incentive to investigate. After all, that 'is what is necessary. Something that, will arouse the people to the v point- of thinking on the subject and taking the trouble to investigate and con sider. ANOTHER GOOD LINE OF PROCE DURE. The Mullins Enterprise declares that its town needs a "flour mill of standard type" and says that "it would no doubt be a good investment for the community." While we are not well informed as to the specific , need of . Mullins, yet we do know that what the south in general needs are things of this char acter. The flour mill would seem es pecially important and necessary in these days of high priced flour, and mills of this type would stimulate the raising of wheat; thU3 widening diver sification of dreps of the Southland and, at the same time, allowing the people to raise at home more of those things which they feed upon. But this idea seems to be shared, enjoyed by others in the Mullins section, as a meeting of farmers Saturday will discuss the proposition. The Enterprise lays the foundation by declaring "that our land will abun dantly produce wheat has already been proven and as the nearest mill is located at Darlington it would seem that Mullins is the logical point for the location of an up-to-date roller mill." MANY CASES OF i TOADSTOOL POISON Breslau, Germany, Oct. 5. No less than 248 cases of toadstool poisoning occurred in Germany "during the' year 19Wi according to statistics just compiled. The cause in general was the unusual harvest or crop of toad stools and mushrooms and an in crease in the number cr persons who, without any expert knowledge, at tempted to take advantage of this source of food supply. Of the total number of poisoning cases, 85 died, including 52 children. "We scientists," remarked the pret- ! ty girl graduate who had just taken a degree in science, "say that kissing is a very insanitary practice." "That may be," granted the male skeptic In a yatching suit, "but at that I never heard of anyone doing it for his health." Exchange.

James Hansley," colored, who was placed under , arrest by Captain W. H.
