C rnndv FRIDAY, Jan. 80th, 1913 GREAT CONFERENCE STARTED, Senator Owen Will Aid la Or ganizing a State Confer ence for Social Service. Afar-reaching State Confer ence is being organized. It aims to improve conditions that affect human life in all its phases. All the various workers for reform and betterment expect to get to gether as an organized force, and by a united effort secure some of . the most needed reforms. Much more should be done in this way than by fighting single handed. The conference will hold its first meeting In Kateigh, Feb ruary 11, 12. The scope of the conferences indicated by the following list of speakers and heads of committees: Governor Craig will deliver the opening address, followed by Dr. William Louis Poteat, presidents Wake Forest College, on the "Correla tion of Social Forces." Follow ing this will be an address by Senator Robert L. Owen, of Ok lahoma. Senator Owen is the author of the famous bill for a National Department of Public Health. He is a fine speaker and a man of big ideas. His speech should ring clear on thet big lines of social work, and form the keynote of the confer ence. Several months ago the fol lowing representative citizens Were named as chairmen of the various committee on different lines of social service: Bishop Robert Strange, Church and Social Service; Hon. J, Y. - Joyner, llliterary; Mr. James P. ' Cook, Reformatories; Rev. M. L, Kesler, Orphanages; Hon. T. W. Bicketti Criminal Procedure; Dr. Ii. B. McBrayer, Feeble mind- Bess: Mr. Clarence Poe.

Rankin, Public Health; Hon. R. F. Beasley, Taxation; Mrs. K. R. ,Cotten, Women and bocial Service. The Central Committee on Or ganization, composed of Hon. J. Y-Joyner, Hon. T. W. Bickef, Miss Daisy Denson, Dr. W. S. v Rankin and Mr. . Clarence Poe, have received hundreds of in quires and applications for mem bership. .It promises to be one of the biggest movements ever started in the , state, and every public spirited citizen should have his name enrolled with the movement A letter or postal directed to Dr, " W. .

Mr. ' l I e is conH THE pibGRESSIYE PARIY. " The Progressive Party polled 4,168,564 votes, which was about 800.000 votes la excess of the Taf t vote. Some people, for selfish rea sons, are endeavoring to create the impression that the progres sive party is not to be perma nent. The truth is the Progressives have jufit begun to fight. By private subscription they have established a home bureau and a foreign bureau the sole object of which is to study, and prepare for enactment into law of pro gressive measures. They are perfecting a thorough political organization throughout the na tion. . The following quotation from a letter roaae puouc oy uoi. Roosevelt the other day gives us an idea as to whether the Pro gressive Party has come to stay: "The farmer should be with us. we ravor protecting mm oy the tariff, just as we favor pro tecting the manufacturer and wage-worker. Wc are resolute to foster the development of ag riculture credit and cooperation, and, in all ways, direct and in direct, to promote the wel fare of those who Dive in the open country, and to bring within their reach the benefits of better farming, better business and bet ter living, 'It would be idle to attempt again to set forth all the policies contained in the Progressive platform. Suffice it to say that in my deliberate judgment, that platform was the greatest utter ance of true democracy in the interests of the welfare of man kind that w3 have seen since the death of Abraham Lincoln. To talk of our amalgamating with either of the old parties is as idle as it would have been to talk of the Republicans in the days of Abraham Lincoln, the progres sives of their days, amalgamat ing with either the Cotton Whigs or Bourbon Democrats of ihat day. "There shall be no retreat from the position we have taken. High of heart and strong of hand, we front the future; and the fu ture is surely ours. "Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." There is every reason why Madison County should organize a Progressive Party. Wouldn't this prove an interesting debate? "Resolved that the care of County Instutions should be let to the Highest bidder.'"? Jan. 27th 1913. GEO. M. PRITCHARD. Advertisement. Inaugurate in December. The best suggestion tnat we have yet heard touching the whole scries of proposals to lengthen the presidential term, prohibit re-election, change the inauguration date etc., comes from Senator Root., Each of these involves constitutional a mendment, and either all or as many as may be wanted should travel in one boat. But the es sential thjng, as Mr. Root sees it is to change the congressio nal term. - He can see no rhyme or reason in letting party which has been voted out of power go on legislating for three months Both Congresses and Presidents, elected in " November, should take office within 20 days.' ' By the side of Mr, Root's pro posal the talk about chances of fair weather to April as "against March seems petty indeed. We have not been accustomed to mend our Constitution in pursuit of such things. All the other talk is either trivial or debatable as compared with the clear re quir(nent which he notes. We should remove an outgrown and unecessarily, irritating obstruc tion upon the public will, what ever else we may not do. There is surely no conceivable reason why an oil,:; irsr party should be permit! to create c". ..' cles or dir.cultks far iU successor, or why a Government diviJeJ be tween tv o or more rallies,, as at pr. ' -', t.' .'.1 te vexed with " !''' r r I ti e smallest number that circums tances can permit. The public service suffers, of course. If the new President and the new Con gress took office when the last session of the old Congress dur ing the last months of the old President now begins, the men who had received a commission to govern would have the oppor tunity almost at once. There would be no such squabbling and jockeying as the present situa tion compels. -There might or might not still be a divided cori dition of governmental control. there might or might not be any hurry on the incomers' side; but at any rate the Governnlent would get upon a governing1 ba sis and all concerned would guiJe themselves by larger considera tions than desire to "work" the partisan possibilities of three re maining months or to preveut this same. It need not be supposed that the framers of our Constitution inaugurated such a condition knowingly or by design. They provided for a time when months were required by the physical difficulties attending the spread of information, assemblage at the Capital, and proper consula- tion upon the steps to pursue. They could not contemplate a period of newspapers served by telegraph, and of fast trains. Neither did they cotemplate such direct, popular, party govern ment as, in effect, we have now. We are simply losing a . great part of the benefits to govern ment which modern facilities and the methods made possible j by them should confer. So Mr. Root recognized. He is not ra dical in his political thinking; he has been regarded as very de cidedly the reverse. But he has a clear and rational mind which understands that the existing arrangement manifestly out worn. f-Charlotte Observer. V DESTROYED DISTILLERIES. Twenty-five Blockade Plants seized in Ashe ville District. (Special to The Observer.) Asheville, Jan. 22. Internal Revenue Agent U. B, Sams yes terday received reports of the destruction of 25 Illicit distiller ies in his t i itrict. Seven of the plants were destroyed on a raid hear Greenville, S. C. these be ing the first seized in Sooth Caro Una since that state was includ ed in Mr. Sams' district. Fif teen of the plants were broken up in a raid in Patrick and Franklin Counties, Virginia while three were seized in Madi son County, this State. Several arrests were made and thousands of gallons of f whiskey and beer were destroyed. This good work was done by one well known to all in Madison County. However we wish'there had been mere found in Madison County. ASBEVILLE'S AMBITION. The Committee who went re ceived no definite answer from Dr. Wilson. He expects to go to Panama this coming summer. Later he may come to Ashe ville. . Asheville will be the summer capital of America during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson if the hope of a strong and enthusiastic delega tion from .the Mountain City which passed through here last night for Trenton and Princeton is realized. T bis- delegation composed of leading Asheville citizens, representatives ; from the state in Congress and Hon. josepnus uameia win nrst see Mrs. Wilson and . daughters at Princeton today and afterwards will motor to Trenton to tell the future President something a bout the charms of Asheville and Western North Carolina. Mr. Daniels joined the party here last night and will present the members of the delegation -to Mrs. Wilson and to Governor Wilson. The Asheville people aboard th3 special pullman on train No. 33 were Mayor J. E. Rankin, F. M. Weaver. F. II. L'ev itt, Charles A'. Webb, W. V. r h, J. II. V.V-l 1 f". The delegation1, it was statec1, is' prepared to oiler the President elect a clear deed to one of the attractive manor's in Albemarle park or a ' bungalow in . Grove Park, built by F. L. Seeley a lone: the lines of the new Grove Park Inn and facing the Ashe ville golf links. In visiting Mrs. Wilson and daughters first the committee, will point out the po teNtial attractions of the rooun tains of Western North Carolina for a summer home. The . ar rangement to see the ladies of the Wilson household prior to the visit to the master of the house is believed to be most prepitious for .the success of the undertaking. The formal invitation to the incoming Presidential family will be presented in unique form, it being a book compiled by the Roy c rotters, of East Aurora, in an artistic limpedired binding ,of green ooze leather, lined wun silk. The letters and "photo graphs of the compilation are arranged in the center of guilt edged pages of cream tinted heavy paper measuring 18 by 24 inches. The cover design is done in gold with the simple let tering: "An invitation from Asheville." The handsome volume is beau tifully box covered in green plush; each detail of the crea tion was done in the distTnctive vogue of the famed Uoycrofters, whose instructions were to get out the most artistic and attrac tive invitation possible. The contents of the boolc comprise in vitations from Mayor Rankin for the people of Asheville; Presi dent Weaver, of the boaid of trade; The Greater Western North Carolina association by President W. E. Breese, jr., Al bemarle Park Co., by Thomas W. Raoul; Grove Park Inn, by F. L. Seeley. Mr. Daniels also bears a cordial letter of invita tion from Gov. Lock Craig, who is a resident of Asheville and letters of invitations will be pre sented from each of the North Carolina representatives in Con gress. The book also contains magnificent photographic views of Asheville,' Albemarle park Manor and cottages, Grove park, in its forest beauty, The Country club and Golf link, Biltmore House, Mountain views of Mt.
