lYilmington extends a cheery greet
ing and a big welcome to jthe South
ern Textile Association, one of the most
vital of all organizations not only for
the South, but for the country, as it
represents an industry that is essen
tial to the nation. It represents in
dustry that not only makes crops
profitable, but gives employment to
thousands of people, thus enacting an
important role both in the field of
production and in the sphere of
employment. This industry . is pe
culiarly.- important to the South, as
it means taking advantage of re-
. . j .t i s
sources, ana, m tnat way, aeveioping
the South. It has brought the mill
to the scene of production, thus com
bining the two with splendid results.
The advance the South has made in
this way has been remarkable, and
the step seems to be quickening; not
lagging. This has been due mainly
to the enterprise of the mill owners
and to their . able management and
management, too, that has weathered
the storm of adversity, surmounted
obstacles and overcome discouraging
circumstances. It's true the reward
was worth it, but human nature is not
always' ready to bear heavy burdens,
and sometimes gets so disheartened
as to quit the fight.
The Textile Association is compose
of fine business men, .progressive cit
izens, and it is not only a pleasure
but an honor to welcome them, and
hope that the stay of the delegates
at Wrightsville Beach will be both
delightful and profitable.

Why tickle the food sharks? Why
not tickle the palates of the people?
Just at this time of year it is hard

The old time candy pullings seem

Wilmington undoubtedly is going to
reach the $40,000 war relief goal. The
home stretch, ; both as to time and
amount desired, has been reached and
all indications are that success will
crown tne great enort in Denair oi
humanity that has been put forth by
Wilmington. Besides other amounts
that the city has contributed, it is de
sired to raise this forty-thousand dol
lars in order to help the Red Cross,
the Y. M. C. A. and the relief work
in Syria and Armenia. The different
needs were blended, so that work could
be concentrated, thus being stronger,
and so the campaign could be conduct-
led in more scientific way.
Wilmingtonians have , generously
given of their means to maby causes
i within the year but the call now is
beyond anything heretofore. It is dif
ferent from all other needs and it not
only possesses strength in that hu
manity and the good of your country
require the money, but it possesses
one thing that must appeal to every
man, and make him realize he should
make sacrifices in order to contribute
to the cause. It is this: You will not
go to the battlefront; not that you
wouldn't gladly do so, but there is
something that prevents your going
your physical condition, your age or,
may be, your vital work at home or
dependent ones. In that case, do you
not think you should give something
to the funds being created for war
relief, so that the suffering of your
brothers who do go to the front many
never to return may be less; so that
they may have some relaxation from
the mental strain of the battlefield;
so that men and women in foreign
lands, hundreds of thousands who are
subjected to torture because they are
Christians, may be aided? The work
is not for government, as a govern
ment, but for individuals, who are the
government. There is a difference

It begins io look as if militancy
about woman suffrage in America is
confined to. those who are against and
not in favor of, as was the case one
time in England.
Wonder what Senator Gore, who
has always shouted "Me too" to ev

woman suffrage cause in the slight
est, though it may impede its progress,
in that it is not always easy for the
public, that is busy, fretful and often
thoughtless about certain things, to
separate the wheat from the chaff.
That is the regrettable part. Too oft
en a meritorious cause is handicap
ped by some of its advocates, in that
those they would convert judge the
case by personal feeling; measure it
by behavior of a few individuals, in
stead of assessing its value by the
many.
The action of the women pickets at
the White House Was not only a very
indiscreet thing at this hour, but car
ried no argument. Neitner are sen
sational methods required to Impress
people, rhexe are times that some
thiBg! of the ordinary may be
deemed necessary to attract atten
tion; that it may be thought neces
sary to indulge in something drastic
so the public will be brought to atten
tion. But this is not so as to woman
suffrage in America. The cause is
progressing rapidly as it is, and the
best thing to attract attention, to im
press upon the male part of the pub
lic the merits of woman suffrage is be
ing accomplished by the women in the
splendid work they are doing for the
country at this hour. Not only work
that shows patriotism, that is calling
for sacrifice, but that is demonstrat
ing, in large manner, the good judg
ment, the business capacity of the
women. It has often been said that
women in considering vital questions
would be governed by impulse, rather
than by sober thought, and yet many
big things have already occurred and
are happening that show the capacity
of woman to think clearly, to act with
out discord and bring about big re
sults in smooth way.
Many things upon which the people
of the United States differ politically
wiir be to the fore in the years to
come and this difference of opinion
still has a right to exist, but it is de
cidedly unpatriotic to air these dif
ferences at this time in manner that
will provoke friction; not friction so
much through difference of opinion at
home though harmony is to be de
sired but particularly in sending the
wrong impression abroad and in pro
viding a fertile field for those traitors
at home who move around in disguise,
ready to take advantage of any squab
ble to cause dissention in the United
States at this time.
In justice to woman suffrage, as a
cause, as a movement in America, two '
things should be borne in mind : First, ;
that as there are women in the ranks
who would be sensational, so there
are plenty of men on the other side
who would be, and that however in
discreet has been the action of the
women pickets at the White House it
has been overshadowed by acts of dis
loyalty of some men in America; men
who possess the franchise. Second.
that these women represent but a
small portion of the suffragettes and
are allied with the Women's Congres
sional Union, the tactics of which are
not condoned by the big party of equal
suffrage, it is simply a case of some
fool women, who iwould vote, like
of the fight, and it is needed by you
as a patriotic citizen. So when the
call is made upon you, do not stop be
cause you have given freely to other
causes, do not hesitate because you
remember that you have been called
upon many times within the year to
make donations, but bear in mind that
this is the paramount call of all; that
it is different from all others, and that
surely it behooves you to give a little,
even by sacrificing, when you are not
going to the front. There are many
who will give their lives. What will
you give?

The election of Mr. W. B. Drake,
cashier of the Merchants1' National
Bank of Raleigh, as president of the
North Carolina Bankers' Association,
is an honor well bestowed. Mr. Drake
will make a fine leader for the organ
ization; a leader that will not only
enthuse the membership by his charm
ing personality and ardor, but who
will administer its affairs in able man
ner. Wilmington folks know, because
they were fortunate, at one time, in
having Mr. Drake as one of them.
A Wilmington banker was also hon
ored, Mr. Charles E. Taylor, Jr., be
ing elected to the important post of
vice president of the Trust Company
section of the American Bankers' As
sociation. Mr. Taylor will ably fill the
bill.
The only new vice president select
ed was Mr. Erwin Sluder, of Asheville,
another popular and prominent finan
cier of the Old North State.
