A GLANCE AT THE SIGN POSTS Those who think the Demo cratic victory means the death of the Republican party in the United States evidently have not been studying American politics. A recent tabulation brings out the fact that the Re publicans cast about 46 per cent of the total vote in the various contests, although the majori ties were so scattered among all the states that a congress of large majority was gained by the Democrats. But a political party that holds 46 per cent of the voting party is not a very dead corpse. For comparison it may be interesting to look at some of the figures. Bryan ii. his first race against McKinley had about 48 per cent of the popular vote. In his sec ond defeat he had a little less. Parker in his 1904 campaign i location, convenient to the larger villages, but far enoug'h away to be an establishment in itself, and with the excellent Fandhill hard roads affordin" communi cation with all of the surround ing region. The community is not only a factor as an isolated unit, but it is an active and valuable mem ber of the common Sandhill win ter neighborhood. The village life is self-contained, but its contacts are as broad as the sur rounding region, for Pinebluff is •only two or three looks and a half dozen minutes from all the other places, “belonging to the same family but living in dif ferent houses.” Possibly a long search over this whole American country would not find a more really attractive rural village with the facilities for providing an attractive winter home than Pinebluff, and that the Inn is to be headquarters again for the season is of more than ordinary significance to the Sandhills. Pinebluff is a member of the community that is of great im portance. In many ways it is one of the most interestineg features of the Sandhills development.

Every county is dependent largely for its business success on the service of the road. Every county has a list of employes on the road depending on it for their livelihood. Then the railroad is always a convenient thing to damn when we have nothing else to kick about. But the plight is not a Hum orous as it is serious.

The next election he trim med’the whole works, bringing the Democratic party from a minority to almost a majority of the whole vote cast, and win ning the first Democratic vic tory since'Cleveland’s day. But that signified nothing for in 1920 Plarding swept the deck with over 16,152,000 votes to 9,117,000 for Cox, showing that a defeated party can come back with thundering gait. With the ’WRS.

The election of November 6 does not that the taxpayer has about all he can carry in that quarter. Other wisemen say to sell the railroads to some one who will take them and run them, but these days the market for dead horses is not active. Nobody cares to put good money into doubtful securities, for the only purpose in investing money is to get a return from it, not to be come a bearer of dead burden and to invite increased taxation.

THE PROSPECTS ' AT PINEBLUFF The opening of the Pine Bluff Inn is one of the interesting fea tures of the arriving winter, for Pinebluff is an attractive re treat in itself. A short distance out of Pinehurst and Southern Pines the place w’as founded on the same lines as the two lar ger communities, but with the same definite design and the same sound basis. The location is a pleasant one, on a broad bit of level territorj', broken by the valleys through w'hich the streams flow% surrounding pine covered hills, pleasant homes and conveniences that a winter country faces. The dead horse market is not an active one for a dead horse does not sell like a living one because it does not carry on like a living one. And that is the view point from which the American people can look at their railroads. No more difficult problem faces this country, for it involves trans portation, employment, general business and everything that in any way depends on movement bf freight and passengers.
