Lesson of the Election.

The general election of last Tuesday
was not without its practical lesson
and that lesson is for every citizen who
is entitled to registration to get GER
tificate and keep it where 1t can be
found in case of need.
There are great many people
throughout York county who have new
er had themselves registered for the
reason that they think it more pleas
ant and comfortable to thus secure
exemption from jury service; but II
these same people will give more care
full consideration to the subject they
will find that they are pursuing very
wrong course.
In the first place jury service is very
necessary and important. Somebody
has to perform this service, and under
the spirit and letter Of our laws the re-
sponsibility should fall upon all good
citizens. Perhaps those who have fail
ed to register in order that they might
escape jury service have not thought Of
1t that way; but as a matter Of fact
they are taking very unjust and un-
fair advantage Of their fellow citizens,
and to that extent acknowledging their
real unfitness for jury service. We do
not desire to reflect upon any one with
unnecessary harshness; but reasonable
people who stop to give careful consid-
Grafton to the matter will have to ad-
init that this conclusion is not without
warrant.
The main reason why there are so
many unregistered people over the
county to be sure, is because there Is
so seldom an issue in the general elec-
ton that is calculated to bring about
division; but men of intelligence should
be able to realize that just such an is
sue Is liable to arise at any time and
they should be prepared for 1t.
The election last Tuesday caught
hundreds of men without registration
certificates. They had been duly regis
tered; but they had mislaid the evi-
dence thereof. ana consequently were
unable to vote for or against the court
house bonds as the case might be.
Let every man needing the lesson
take it to himself. Those who have been
registered; but who are unable to keep
track of their certificates should learn
to do so and those who are not regis
tered should get their certificates at
once and take care Of them.
Although that time may be some
time off, there is reason to believe that
the time Is rapidly approaching when
the man who is entitled to register and
does not do so, is going to be looked
down upon as a pretty poor citizen.

Now if the Democrats only get hold
of the senate all will be right. The
senate has long been the stronghold of
privilege Time and again the people
have cried out against abuses suffi-
ciently loud to get the anxious atten-
ton Of the house; but the senate would
sit with supine indifference until the
discouraged people had ceased to insist
on their rights and things would move
on as before. Let the Democrats get
control of the senate and although
there may be those who are still will
ing to follow the old tactics, the people
will be able to bring to bear sufficient
pressure to get their will. There have
been some wonderful developments
along the line of sure enough Democ-
racy during the past dozen years or so,
and there is reason to believe that the
privileged classes will not be able to
hold out against right and justice much
longer We do not anticipate that COM
plete control Of the government by the
Democrats will result in the immediate
eradication Of long established abuses;
but such control will at least hasten a
show down.

WILSON TO THE PEOPLE
president.EIeet Expresses Himself or
Situation.

President-elect Wilson sent replies
Wednesday to the congratulatory tele'
grams of President Taft and Col
Roosevelt and issued statement tr
which he declared that there Is aD.
solutely nothing for the honest ano
enlightened business men OF tPe
country to fear" from the Democrat
ic administration.
To President Taft, Mr.. Wilson sent
the following telegram:
Il warmly appreciate your klno
message and wish to express my sim
cere personal regards"
To Col. Roosevelt, Mr.. Wilson Sent
the following telegram:
my sincerest thanks for your KIND
message. Pray accept my cordlal
good wishes"
Mr.. Wilson made this official state
ment to the American people today:
1.-The result fills me with the hope
that the thoughtful progressive forces
of the nation may now at least unite
to give the country freedom of en-
terprise and a government released
from all corporate and private influ-
ences, devoted to justice and prog
ress There Is absolutely nothing fol
the honest and enlightened business
men to fear. No man whose busi-
ness Is conducted without violations
Of the rights of free competition and
without such private understanding
and secret alliances as violate the
principle Of our law and the policy
Of all wholesome commerce and en-
terprise, need fear either interference
or embarrassment from the admins
tration. Our hope and purpose Is
now to bring all the forces of the ma
ton into active and intelligent CO.
operation and to give to our prosper

There is going to be almost as much
opposition to the carrying out Of Gov
ernor Wilson's policies in the south as
elsewhere Many Of the things he has
been teaching are more or less revolu-
tionary; but they are right. There are
people in the south as elsewhere who
do not want to see the governors doc
trines put into practical effect. They
tolerated these doctrines for vote get
ting purposes; but that is all the i'm
portance they attached to them. When
the new president begins to try to
make good, he will be opposed. The
emissaries of interested parties will get
to work dissatisfying the people and
they or many of them, without think
ing, will line up behind the opposition.
But let us watch. Let us remember
that all progress that is for the good
of the whole people will more or less
inconvenience many individuals and
let us remember that it is the duty of
the individual to subordinate his de-
sires for the benefit Of the many. Let
all Democrats remember that their
duty and responsibility to Wilson is
greater than before he was elected.

POPULAR VOTE REPUBLICAN
But Wilson Has Big Majority in Elec,
toraI Collooe.

New York, Nov. 7.-Uncertainty as
to the electoral choice Of California
and Illinois as developed by belated
returns from both states was the chief
point of interest today although the
counting of ballots in several doubtful
states still was under way. -,
That Illinois was safely in the WIZ
son column was indicated early In the
evening but California, which had been
claimed by the Progressives during the
day wavered back to the Democratic
ranks. The Wilson plurality estimat-
ed Wednesday at $4,000 was cut
down considerably. Progressive leaders
claimed the unheard-from counties
would give the state to Roosevelt.
After apparently holding Illinois for
nearly forty hours from the time the
polls closed, Colonel Roosevelt lost its
twenty-nine electoral votes late In the
day when the assembling Of state wide
returns showed q definite victory for
Governor Wilson.
On the strength Of incomplete re-
turns as to the popular vote for Will
son, Roosevelt and Taft, the estimate
was made tonight that Governor Will
son would not have a majority Of all
votes cast. In many states the pop
ular vote has been only roughly esti-
mated lnuS ldT, Dul tie TcpOElS HUI
cate that the combined vote of Roose-
welt and Taft will be approximately
one million more than the vote for
Governor Wilson.
The figures will be materially chang
ed by the final count but 1t Is expected
the proportion for each candidate will
not vary greatly. The preliminary
count gives Wilson approximately 46
per cent of the vote; Roosevelt 20 per
cent and Taft 25 per cent. The total
vote thus far reported Is less than In
1908 while official returns are expected
to bring it above those figures. In 1908
out Of a combined vote Of 14,030,85S
cast for Taft and Bryan, President
Taft received over 81 per cent.
Returns from Minnesota today con-
firmed the claim of Roosevelt to the
twelve electoral votes Of that state.
The Wilson victory. claimed on the
earlier returns, had become doubtful
last night as the count progressed
Latest returns today, with many pre-
cincts still to be heard from, gave
Roosevelt an apparently safe majority.
The victory for Wilson in New
Hampshire did not carry with it con-
troll Of the state legislature where the
Republicans again have a majority on
Joint ballot and will dictate the selec-
tion Of a United States senator.

It is all right to shout, but do not let
us shout so loud and long that we will
forget the seriousness Of the RESPONSE
bilities now upon us. Let us remem-
ber that it is up to us to see that all
that patriotic campaign dope that has
been handed out during the past few
months is lived up to. President Wilson
We believe is the man who intends to
do just what he has promised to do,
just what he has indicated he would
like to do If he could; but he is not go
ing to be able to do 1t unless the peo-
pie stand behind him almost to man.
The real responsibilities of govern
ment are now upon us and it is up to
us to support the new president.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

Although complete returns Of the

ception of the vote at Ogden were pub
lished in the last issue Of The Enqui-

If there is a big cotton crop in this
county this year there has been very
little sign Of 1t 30 far.
Remember that the Boys Corn club
has the goods with which to give York
county a good advertisement. The
prize acre yields are going to put York
we'll up toward the head of the list.
There was rain Wednesday morning
and 1t brought a fear that 1t would
serve as a check to oat sowing; but
the common opinion Is that there will
be a good many oats sowed even yet,
IL conditions are at all satisfactory.
We think the now court house should
be located on the same spot that Is oc-
cupied by the present building, and
the material in the present building
might be used to advantage in the con-
struction of modern county home for
the poor.
Il is to be hoped that every school
will see to 1t that 1t has one or more
representatives at the meeting of the
girls clubs to be held In Yorkville on
November %. The meeting is well
worth while, the beginning Of an i'm
portant movement that should count
for much in the future.
Nature has been doing the best she
could to restore things in the storm
swept district Of Bethel and King s
Mountain townships, as Is evidenced
by some pretty healthy looking speci-
mems Of second growth apples. sent in
by Master Brown Turner, son Of Mr..
George Turner. Second growth ap-
pies, however. appear to be so COM
mon this year as to excite but little
comment.
Now is tho time to begin making a
club for The Enquirer. The thing Is to
get after new subscribers and tell them
Of that liberal offer that we have made
and along with the new subscribers do
not fail to solicit as many old ones as
you can. It is not difficult to get new
subscribers. 1t is the easiest thing
renewed, provided they have not been
renewed already.
The largest sweet potato seen at The
Enquirer office this season was brought
in by Mr.. B. e. Durant, Of Guthries-
specimen and weighs eight pounds. Mr..
Durant said that he had been told that
1t was Of the Southern Beauty variety;
but was not sufficiently well informed
on potatoes to be able to say of his
own knowledge. He planted about one
eighth Of an acre for domestic use, and
has harvested about 80 bushels, or at
the rate of something like $50 bushels
to the acre.
When Mr.. /. s. Kidd, of Ogden
brought the election returns from his
box Wednesday he explained why it
was that the news did not come through
Tuesday night. 1t seems that the only
available telephone has a cranky way
Of getting out Of fix so that 1t can only
be rung from the other end. Mr.. Kidd
had the figures at the telephone; but
no ring came to his relief, and he was
helpless. But 1t developed as matter
of fact that the trouble lay in both
ends Of the telephone. Anxious in
quirers tried to ring from the other
end; but could get no response.

Through the courtesy of the New

quirer gave its readers on Wednesday
morning about the election Of Tuesday
was about as satisfactory as that fur
nished by the morning papers. To give

long understood, when it comes to first
class, efficient service this paper does
not balk at either labor or expense.

Will Eioht to the End.-Public O,

Will Fight to the End.-Public opin-
ion in Constantinople, says dispatch
of yesterday, Is strongly opposed to the
idea of seeking mediation or peace. Ma
zim Pasha, the Turkish commander
in chief has reported to the govern
ment that the army Is determined to
fight until victorious or absolutely de-
feated. He regards the reverses sus-
tanned as unfortunate but says the
brave Ottoman army Is confident of
ultimate success and that the whole
corps Of officers is unanimous in favor
of continuing the war.
The principal officers in Constanti-
nople have handed the grand vizer, XII
anil Pasha, a signed declaration in the
same spirit and the party Of union
and progress promises to support the
government in the policy Of prosecut-
ing the war with energy. These con-
siderations are having weight with the
government.
Meanwhile there have been no de-
velopments at the front. Reconnais-
sances by the eastern army today be-
fore Tchorlu failed to show the pres
ence of any Bulgarians but Nazim
Pasha reports that Bulgarian recon-
noitering party was repulsed about
four miles from Rodosto. So far as
can be learned here there has been
very little change in the military situ-
alton in the last twenty-four hours. A
sort of elf-imposed armistice obtains
on the Thracean plains Both sides ap-
pear to require time to rest and re-
organize after their recent exhaustive
efforts.
The rumor that Saloniki has been
occupied Is not confirmed but it is
known that the town is hard pressed
Mussulman refugees continue to ar
rive at the outskirts Of the capital
from practically the whole country
south of the Bulgarian advance lines,
The scene outside the city walls at the
Adrianople gate, is one of direful dis
tress. Men, women and children, carts
and cattle are huddled together. The
authorities are trying to supply the
immediate wants of the refugees and
have decided to send them to Ashanti
nor.
