culture aHxes his signature to the
aocument. This he viii lido in a few
days. The Federal Government will
furnish onethird of the $4,000 to be
expended on this road, and Mcdowell
county $40, OO0.
This virtually marks the beginning
OF the construction of postroads in
North Carolina with Federal money.
The p~ostof1ce appropriation bill car
ries a provision for $1,000, 900 to be
put in good roads. Senator Simmons
got an earlier provision for $500, 900,
thereby. starting the ball to roll.
An expert road engineer, from the
GOOD Roads Office, has been in Nc
Dowell, investigating the proposed
road, and has made his preliminary
report. Director Page has put his
signature to the contract for the
building of the road and after Secre-
tary Houston signs it, the county COM
missioners will do their part of the
signing. Inside of two weeks the ac-
tual construction of the road should
begin.
The Mcdowell road runs from Ma
rion township line to Buncombe coun-
ty. This means that there will be a
fine highway from Marion to the Bun"

Too UNCONVENTIONAL.

We are sorry to see a disposition on
the part of our brethren of the Wes-

We have too many of them now. We

Gang Rule in Philadelphia.

One smirch stands out on the cleo
ton record OF Tuesday. The same in
fluences which were .annihilated in New
York triurnphed in Philadelphia, despite
the almost united opposition OF press
and advocates OF good government.
Backed by the Oliver-Penrose State
machine, the Vare-McNichol gang
swept into power on the Republican
ticket, defeating Overwhelmingly the
good government forces behind the fu-
sion ticket.
Thus is repudiated the hard-won VIC
tory OF two years ago, when Mayor
Blankenburg was returned to power on
reform ticket in the hope that sub
sequent elections would record prog
ress and ultimately gave him a set of
clean, graftless civic machinery. Blank
enburg continues in office, but the Ware
brothers, who can out-Murphy Charlie
himself on occasion, continue in con-
troll OF the councils, the city treasury,
and other ofices-in a word, of the
city purse wherefrom the organizations
contractor friends and business asso-
ciates" may continue to wax fat.
The issues were plainly before the
people of Philadelphia. They can thank
themselves for whatever comes up in
the future.

trial wealth, voted overwhelmingly fol
la Wilson Democrat.
In New Jersey the victory of Gov
Fielder can be considered only as a
triumph, personal and factional for
Woodrow Wilson. II spells the down
fall of the old Smith-Nugent machine,
which has fought Wilson ever since
the latter, as Governor, refused to ac-
cept djctation. The Smith-Nugent
gang fought the Democratic nominee
because he ran as a Wilson candidate
and because he stands for the same
progressive, honest policies as does
the President. They knitted him wher-
ever possible, swinging their influence
to the Republican candidate, Stokes.
And for their pains they saw Fielder
given small majority in Essex Coun-
ty, their own stronghold.
Maryland Democracy also made Will
son an issue, and elected Blair Lee to
the United States Senate as a Wilson
Democrat, besides sweeping the entire
State and county Democratic ticket
into power. If the election of Viii
son man. openly and actively support
ed by the administration, does not car
ry with it a strong Wilson indorse-
ment, what in the world does it sig
Nifty?
The only other contest iIf which the
President was greatly interested was
the New York Mayoralty fight, and
in this, while intensely interested per-
sonally, his administration was not on
trial To John Purroy Mitchell, who
led the ticket which dealt Tammany
what may prove a death blow, the
President gave the fullest measure of
his moral support, and the 10000 plu-
rality given Mitchell detracts nothing
from the efficacy of that support.
By his support of Mitchell, who ran
on a Republican and anti-Tammany
fusion ticket, the President served no
tice (D that he personally placed
clean politics above mere partisan con-
siderations, and Cd that he would no,
hesitate to use any instrumentalities
at his command in behalf of clean,
honest and efficient government, when
ever the issues shape themselves as
they did in the anti-Tammany fight.
In the other elections held Tuesday
the White House or the Democratic
administration was not directly con-
cerned.

Unbelievable.

You will read in ''The Humors of His
tory: Monkeyisms from the Foolish Past, "
that the Denslows were a grand OLD
Southern family. Not SO the Bromleys.
As old, perhaps, and certainly as South
ern, the Bromleys weer at least sevent sen
cuts below the Denslows. Yet only the
Denslows' back fence separated the
Bromleys from their betters, says the
New York Tribune.
Now, 1t happened on a certain day that
fire broke out in the house OF Bromley
and jumped the back fence and devoured
the Denslow carriage shed and all the
ancient doddering, aristocratic vehicles
therein.
So Col. Denslow sfmmoned Uncle
'Rastus after the fremen had completed
the ruin. and said; '"Rastus. why didn't
you try to get out the carriages? II was
your duty. You must have known Il"
Then did 'Rastus prove himself a pr Jud
true servant of the house of Denslow and
an efficient despIser OF the house Of Brom-
ley.

What the Elections Mean.

The least of good omen for Wood
row Wilson that can be seen in Tues
days elections is a plain indication OF
absolute faith in his honesty and in
telligence of purpose.
By the country at large the results
of elections in Maryland, Massachu-
sets, and New Jersey, are taken as
unqualified Endorsements, not only of
the political thought for which Pres
ident Wilson stands, but of the acts
of his administration as well. The
acts of his administration, in this
sense, include a reduction of the tar
if, insistence upon currency reform,
Reputation of dollar diplomacy" a
"hands-off" policy in Mexico, support
OF the spirit of the civil service law,
and, above all, INSISTENCE UPON
AN HONEST AND EFFICIENT
STEWARDSHIP TO THE PL 0PLE
BY THEIR PUBLIC SERVANTS.
Ii may not be that the Democratic
landslide in Massachusetts,, for in
stance, indicates support of the I'm
derwood tariff law, for the actual
workings of that law have not as yet
made themselves felt, but the result
does vindicate the spirit and intent of
that law-nameIy, a low tariff wall
and an honest tariff law. But low
tariff or protection" was an issue in
Massachusetts-just as much of an is
sue as Representative Gardner, Re-
aubliean candidate for Governor,

Teamwork Needed.

Let US get together and boom
Washington-the city, we mean, not
the Capital, which doesn't need it.
We have been told lately from the
high places that Washington, the city,
is only a parasite thriving on Wash
ington the Capital, or, in other words,
on the Federal government.
This view, frequently voiced by some
legislators, is based upon the fact
, that the Federal government, occupy
ing an enormous area with its public
buildings and reservations, justly pays
half the expenses of maintaining the
city.
The Herald, on behalf of the resi-
dents and taxpayers of Washington,
emphatically resents the imputation
that they are parasites. The people of
Washington, it is true, enjoy the con-
veniences of public schools, public
buildings, as a rule we'll lighted, an
adequate water service, and other util-
ities. But the people of Washington
pay for them, and pay handsomely.
They are no charity wards OF the Fed
eral government.
The half-and-half principle has been
assailed time and again during the
present session OF Congress, but we
have yet to hear OF 4 proposition to
tax the government for every foot of
ground it occupies in the same ratio
that the people OF Washington are
taxed. And yet this would be only
fair should the half-and-half system
be abandoned.
The time is here when Washington
people should get together and assert
their rights They have no representa-
ton on the floor OF Congress; they
should at least be their own repre-
sentatives, united and with one voice,
at its doors. The watchword should
be cooperation. The Board of Trade
is an excellent organization; so is the
Chamber OF Commerce. The various
citizens associations perform a vail
liable service, and their central organ
ization is a factor capable of impor-
tant results.
What The Herald believes is needed
is teamwork" on the part OF these
different fighting forces. Let the de-
rnands of one be the demands of all, |
and they will be irresistible.
In one of the great college football
games a few seasons ago a team
weighing twelve pounds to the man less
than their opponents carried the day in
a brilliant victory; and it was all !
due TO teamwork Teamwork is
what the Washington municipal forces
need to compel recognition and win
their rights. A unanimous demand at
the board room of the District Com
missioners or the stronghold of the
District Committee cannot be ignored.
Next time we need anything let's make
it, Some legislation of doubtful bene
fit to Washington has been enacted
in tho face of scattered and feeble pro-
tests. If we had risen up with one
voice ii would not now be on the
statute books. Needed legislation has
been withheld and plaintive and inter-
rnittent appeals ignored. A city-wide
demand would compel action. The peo-
pie of Washington must present
united front The Herald wants to
help. Let's get together.
