The Good Road Cause I'm

In manifestation of the keen, practi-
cal interest it has long had In every
movement likely to conduce to the
material advancement of the section.
which it serves, the Southern Rail
way started this week from Mobile,
Ala, its special good-roads train for a
five months trip through Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississ-
ippi. North Carolina South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia and Southern
Illinois and Indisra. The train
equipped with working models run
by electricity of improved r~oad-build-
ing machinery photographs of fine
highways in different parts of the
world, and at the many stops, it will
make lectures, illustrated by stereop-
ticon views, will be given by experts
in road building. Cooperating with
the Southern Railway in this practi-
cal educational campaign are officials
of the public-roads Office of the Ma
tional Department of Agriculture and
of the American Association for High
way Improvement.
As emphasized in a special article
elsewhere in this issue of the Manu-
facturers Record, written by Mr. M.
". Richards of the land and indus
trial department of the Southern
Railway, and illustrated with views
of bodybuilding machinery in opera
ton. this comprehensive undertaking
recognizes the fact that good roads
are the best feeders of the railroads
and are important factors in the de-
velopment of the South. Good roads
means good churches and good
schools, together with good facilities
for neighborhood intercourse, and
consequently they are among the best
sorts of immigration agencies. The
home seeker. everything else being
equal, is pretty sure to be in1uenc-
ed for or against a locality by the
character of its roads. The farmers

A Senatorial Conjecture.

Some of our contemporaries seem
| to think Ex-Governor Charles B. Az
cock is under some kind Of obligation
not to run for the Senate so long as
Senator Simmons is in the field. We
don't believe Aycock or any other
Democrat in North Carolina is under
any obligations to any Ia to keep
out Of his way, but there is such a
thing asa mans knowing when it is
| time to run and time not to run.
The Ex-Governor impresses us as a
man who wouldn't mind having the
| Senatorship bestowed upon him by
the people of North Carolina, but that
he will pull wires and enter into in
trigue to capture the S~enatorship, it
is quite evident that he is not willing
to enter into any such campaign. He
is rather waiting to hear the call from
the people rather than c~ultiyating am
billions that call for the arts of the
politician. If we were a mind-read-
! er, we would say that Aycock regards
it as somewhat scandalous for any
man to engage in an unseemly con-
test with otner distinguished Demo-
| cats for an honor which should come
/ ON tie g le rather than that it
| sLoGld be so4glt after with a har-
poon.
Some men wait for things to come
their way, while others take a sack
| and go right after what they want
We are inclined to believe Aycock
belongs to the first class and that he
is OCCUPYING an attitude of dignif1ed
receptivity towards the S~enatorship
instead of playing political checkers
for it. We haven't seen Charles B.
lAycock for a long time, but we are
willing to wager a doughnut that
when he sees the propriety of becom-
ing a candidate for the Senate he
will be found in tn open and not
beating the bushes.
The Star is "a Iooker-on in Wen
main the S~enatorship matter. and
while we are taking in the sights We
see no reason why every big man in
the State. without prejudice, should
not have a perfect right to get in the
| game. At the same time we have our
individual opinions about the situa-
ton. One of them is that there is
really no big question involved in the
contest-that is not big enough for
the Democracy of the State to per-
NIT itself to be set by the ears over
the individual ambitions of any man
or any set of men who aspire to the
Senatorship. The real issue in the
race is getting one fellow out and
getting another fellow in, and that Is
all there is in it. The fight will have
to resolve itself down to a personal
preference and nobody should tear his
shirt on that account.
In the meantime, If things get too
I stirred up, Wilmington has some big
timber that could be used but moi
utilized. However, we venture th6
assertion that Aycock is not losing
any sleep and will continue to do his
best as a consumer at breakfast, din
ner and Observation-Disclosures Star.

Nj. Watson is a brother-in-law OF
Ex-Governor a. B. Fleming, the
chief attorney in West Virginia Of
the Standard Oil Company. His as
sociates and allies in New York and
elsewhere are men identified with
some OF the greatest trusts in the
world, hoary in the arts of mono1-
oily building,
Mr.. Watson has had no experience
or training whatever for service in
public capacity. He has lived in
princely style in Baltimore. He has
taken an interst in horses, having
carried off numerous honors in the
New York horse shows-but 1t Will
hardly be commended that these
successes qualify him for service in
the United States Senate. He has
mixed little in the social life of
West Virginia and is a stranger to
the most of the people of his own
county OF Marion.
What earthly reason could there
he for the selection OF such man
to represent the Democratic party in
the United States Senate? There is
hut one answer. and that is that the
chief factor in the making of such
a choice was the sheer, brute force
of money-that and the friendship
and backing of William E. Chill
ton.
Mr.. Chiffon, capable, adrolt and
ambitious, a politician of long ex-
perience, to further his own for
tunes, entered into a hard-and-fast
coordination with Watson, whereby
the latter was to furnish the money
and the former engineer their join
campaign. This combination. al
first lamely denied, finally became
so notorious and fragrant that it was
freely admitted. Mr.. Chiffon as 9
candidate in his own right in ar
above.tboard contest was recognized
as having. claims meriting high con
sideradon; but when he linked
himself to Watson and became hi!
yoke-fellow, the proposition wal
wholly changed. 1t was not Onls
that he was willing to form acombf
nation, which every man familia
with local politics knows is boun,
TO give dire offense. but he aeceptei
for his partner a man who is almos
the exact antithesis Of nearly every
thing the Democratic party has stoor
for. Mr.. Chiffon has sacrificed hi
party on the altar of his ambition-
! there Is no possible escape fror
this conclusion. He has made him
iself accountable for watson's elec
'tion and in so doing has taken upo,
himself terrible responsibility.

RED CROSS
FIRST AID
CAR is OUT.

The American Red Cross has a.
ways been distinguished By IFS enter
prise in making hs efforts 10 aid hu-
manity OF maximum value. AS an
ether evidence Of this activity this as
sociation has lately established a first
aid Il, the injured department through
which ii hopes to carry instruction q
this importan, subject to an parts Of
the country. In furtherance OF this
object It has now in operation first
aid car. This car was donated by the
Pullman company and has been fully
equipped By the Red Cross with all
sorts Of first aid material. It is in di-
rect charge OF DR.. NJ. Whitfield Glas
gov, Of Birmingham, Ala, who was
employed for this special work by the
first aid department or the Red Cross.
The cat was outftted at the Pullman
shops in Buffalo ard is now on the
road in Illinois. IFS ~aork evidently ap.
peals 10 the various railway officials
as the railways are hauling it free Of
charge.
The car will proceed from place to
place stopping at railway, manufac-
turing and mining centers where the
best opportunities present themselves
for organizing first aid classes. Just
as has been done ~ the Red Cross
in the mining field an attempt will be
made 10 interest employers, employees
and local physicians alike so thar
first aid to the injured instruction will
have general support and countenance
after the car has visited place
Though the Red Cross car is primarily
designed for instruction purposes it
will also always be available when
needed for rescue work and care Of in
jured in case Of disaster as it is fully
equipped for this purpose.
1t is, perhaps, not generally realized
how large a percentage Of deaths are
now due TO accident In fact, in GER
tain Industries deaths from disease
are absolutely insignificant in mum
bers as compared with those from ac-
cident. For example, in the registra-
tion area which now includes about
So per cent OF the population of the
United States, the 1909 census sta
tistlcs charge to accident 679 per cent
Of all deaths among steam railway en-
ployees beween the ages of 25 and
"a. The next most hazardous occupa-
tion as shown by these statistics is
that Of miners and quarrymen taken
together, in which accidents are re-
sponsible for GLIB per cent of all
deaths at the same ages. Iron and
steel workers have 28.l per cent, and
the rate for all manufacturing and me.
chanical pursuits taken together at the
same ages is 21.9 per cent. These are
the people which the Red Cross is
trying to reach in a practical way by
means of its first aid car.
