liam Jennings Bryan and his accom-
plished, honorable and most capable
running mate, John w. Kern, will in
juriously affect the business interests
| of the country.
This is an insidious invention of the
enemy, put forth without the slightest
| foundation in fact.
1t is not possible that the election
/ of Democratic President and DEM
oeratic House of Representatives,
pledged to the measures of reform,
retrenchment and enlightened pro-
gress for which they will stand, can
fail to give fresh stimulus to our
commercial, mechanical, agricultural
and industrial development
With an early revision of the tariff
along Democratic lines made by Dem
ocratic hands; with the effective curb
ing of the arrogant trusts, from which
we have so seriously suffered and
which the Republicans have demon
strated their inability to restrain;
with the problems of interstate COM
merce constitutionally solved by Dem
ocratic statesmen led by a great Dem
ocrat in the White House; with the
disturbing conflict between the rights
of labor and the rights of capital ad-
justed by the legislation demanded by
our platform, there can be no doubt
that the business of the country, so
far from being checked or retarded,
will go forward with gratifying
bounds, and an era of industrial peace
and universal prosperity beyond any,
thing hitherto experienced will come
upon us.
Marylanders, we appeal to you to
take part with us in the good work
of bringing about this great result"

.unning of public and private automo-

running of public and private automo-
/ biles over this road.
| Lincoln's fame is inseparably con-
nected with the preservation of the
! Union of the American States. This
road would cross the famous Mason
and Dixon line, formerly the dividing
line between the North and the South.
The road would, therefore, serve as a
wedding ring for the sections once
temporarily ~dissevered-as a symbol
of the Union to which Lincoln dedi-
Gated his life.
Imagine a two-hours' ride in the
morning over that magnificent road
from Washington to Gettysburg,
through beautiful Maryland and Penn
sylvania, with the Blue Ridge Noun
tains in sight part of the way. I'M
agine even six to eight hours spent at
the world-renowned battlefield-park,
seeing Round Top and Little Round
Top, Seminary Ridge and it's famous
Theological Seminary, Cemetery Hill
and Culp's Hill, the Chambersburg
Pike and the Emmitsburg Road, the
Peach Orchard and the Apple Orch
ard, the Wheat Field and Devils Den,
High Tide at Gettysburg and other
e.
where the First Minnesota won etern-
al fame, and following the sweep of
Pickett's wondrous charge Imagine
the visit to Gettysburg ended by
standing for a time reverently where
Lincoln delivered his immortal speech,
at the final resting-place for those
who here gave their lives that the
nation might live" and the day closed
BY the return trip to Washington in
the evening. What never-to-be-for-
gotten day that would be! Imagine
such a trip being taken by hundreds
of thousands of Americans every
year!. Can any one measure the men
tai arr moral uplift, the exaltation
of spirit, the deepening and strength
eDing of patriotic sentiment and de-
votion to public duty that would re-
suit? Would not the inspiration thus
secured render it more certain that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people shall not perish
from the earth"
If it were possible to consult Abra-
ham Lincoln himself as to the char
acter of memorial that would be most
pleasing to him. can any one doubt
what his answer would be?

Birthday Party.

surprise birthday party was given
Mrs. VIM. Harver by her daughter,
Mrs. d. Yingling, of Overlea, on her
return home from a trip which was
planned by friend to keep her away
until all the preparations were made
and the place decorated and illumi-
mated outside with Japanese lanterns
At 9 O'Clock Mrs. Harver returned, ac-
companied by Mrs. VIM. Fry. Mrs.
Harver's first surprise on stepping
out of the carriage was the meeting
of her youngest son under an arch of
lanterns, who had been away for the
past 3 weeks at Atlantic City, thinking
he had Illuminated the place to sur
prise her; but as she proceeded up
the walk the door was thrown open
and the sweet music floated out on
the air. Eagerly she passed on until
she was within and was greeted by
the gay crowd. She was utterly sur
prised, bat the thing that impressed
her most was the little recitation of
her granddaughters, Elizabeth and
Hester Yingling:
Dear Grandma, while you were away
We planned surprise for your birth
day:
Your friends have come from far and
i near g.. .'-
To enjoy this night with grandma
dear.
We are so glad God made you we'll,
And left you here with us to dwell;
Oh! live you long, will be our prayer,
Under His protecting care.
! Toward midnight refreshments were
served consisting of ice cream, cakes,
fruits of all kinds ana coffee.
Mrs. Daisy Yingling was assisted
in receiving the guests by Mrs. Near,
of Overlea; Mrs. Boyle and Mrs.

Trouble I'm Illinois.

Chicago, September chairman
Hitchcock, of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, has found political
problem in Illinois that is causing him
about as much worry as the Hughes
situation in New York State. The re-
cent primaries engendered so much
bitterness between the Dineen and
Yates factions, over the gOvernorship
that the party leaders in the state who
will be held responsible for the success
or failure of the national ticket have
found it necessary to direct their at
tention toward the formation of q har-
mony program. If it is impossible TO
do so these state leaders will draw Mr..
Hitchcock into the case as an arbitra-
tor.

A Remarkable Family Record.
For the Advocate.

William A. Westbrook, assistant
engineer on the State steamer Cover
nor P. F. Thomas, is a grandson of
George Worth, who was born in 1901,
and lived at Bayville, Ocean county,
New Jersey. His wife was ten years
his junior and they had twenty-four
children by their marriage, the moth
er of Mr.. Westbrook being the young
est. Seven of the sons were in the
federal army at the same time, dur
ing the Civil War, and all came out
alive, surviving the dangers of the
camp and of the battle. We do not
think this record can be excelled.

A good Democrat asked us the
other day who we were for, Bryan,
Taft, Watson or the Prohibition can
didate.
It was no trouble to answer him
We told him we were for Taft this
time. We teach that men should be
free, and we want to practice what
We preach.
He seemed surprised. He said
he thought we would be for the Pro
hibition candidate, as we voted fol-
prohibition in May.
That is sound reasoning. But why
should 1t apply to us and not to him
Why should 1t apply to us and not te
every Democrat even, who voted al
we did in May?
OF course, we expect Gov. Glenn
to vote for the prohibition candidate

and prayed for the great cause OF
prohibition and had said those who
the devil, of course, we would have
to vote for the prohibition man tt
be truthful and consistent.
We know for those who got ur
that bill and then worked for it, tt
be consistent this fall. they must
vote the prohibition ticket. If they
do not, then they prove what many
of the people believed, viz: that i
was a hypocritical political boost.
Then we want our friend to tel
us how the preachers are going tt
vote. He ought not to expect {
mean little editor to have more reli
gion and more political consistenc!

The following bit of news was
contained in press dispatch sent
out from Tarboro few days ago:
''The Wah-Ree Hosiery Mills, of
Tarboro, under the management of
Claude Wilson, are working day and
night to fill their orders. The mills
are manufacturing $50 to $50 dozen
pairs of hose daily and find a ready
sale for the entire production. The
demand for these goods has far ex-
ceeded the output. The Wah-Ree
mills are making a new record,
working twenty-four hours a day,
much to the credit of the young
manager"

panic is affecting business in the
South. Wonder If this mill would
be working overtime four years from

DEMOCRATS ON THE TARIFF.

The Democrats are claiming that
the Tariff IL the paramount issue in
this campaign, and yet they have
different kind of tariff plank for
every section OF the country. 1t just
depends upon the section In which
the speaker or paper Is located as to
the position they take on the tariff.
Bryan and his forces are making a
grandstand play to Western States
by advocating free lumber because
lumber Ia very scarce In few West
ern States, but have you heard OF a
Democratic paper or Democratic
speaker in the South advocating free
lumber. No, he knows that plank Is
not popular In the South, because
the South manufactures a great
quantity of lumber and that the
mills employ a large number OF men
who are bitterly opposed to free lum-

would begin pouring In from Canada
and other sources, which is manu-
featured by the cheap labor. Our
mills in the South would be forced
to close down and thousands upon
thousands of persons would be
thrown out of employment. Some
portions of the tariff law needs re-
vising, but 1t must be done by its
friends and not by inconsistents. The
Democrats claim they want the tariff
revised, but no one has yet been
able to find out just what they want.
The Durham Herald commenting on
Democracy's position on the tariff
says: while Mr.. Bryan is explain
ing his party's position on the tariff
he might explain it so that some
body could understand 1t.
