EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS.

WILSON AND THE WAR.

The ~silliest twaddle handed out by
Republican prognosticators so far dur
ing the present campaign is the sug-
gestion that President Wilson was
long since advised of conditions in
Europe and should have prepared this
country for emergencies which now
confront it on account of the war.
The Wilson record of achievement has
so completely shattered Republican
prospects of success that like drown
ing men snatching at straws, the lead
ers of that busted crew" are resort
ing to their old tricks of Matching
false issues in the hope of creating
discomfort with Democratic control OF
governmental affairs. These does no.
appear to be any sound reasoning for
the suggestion that European hostili-
titles will inure TO the benefit or the
detriment of any political organization.
in the United States. However, it is
ali old habit the Republicans have or
charging the Democratic party with
every financial disturbance, or
ether unfavorable condition visited
upon the country, regardless Of truth,
Justice or circumstances. The unpre-
JUDGED mind has not failed to appre.
ciate the wisdom exhibited by Presi-
dent Wilson In dealing with the Mex
lean. situation, nor will any patriotic
American charge him with having
been remiss in his duties when tho
efforts to restore peace in Europe ars
recounted. The conservative press
has observed that the foreign policy

KEEP OUR FARM DEMONSTRATORS

The commissioners of Henderson
county now have under consideration
the matter of employing a farm dem
cnstrator for another year.
Mr.. Ernest L. Perkins has just fin
ished the work of his first year, his
employment having been made possi-
BILE through the cooperation of the
Greater H~endersonville club, the
county board of education and the
county commissioners.
The question of employing Mr.. Per-
kins for the coming year was present
ed to the commissioners at their Lass
meeting, when they manifested their
willingness to contribute their part
from the county's funds toward pay
ing the salary of Mr.. Perkins.
1t is useless to dwell here upon the
importance of having this work con-
ti1ued and Mr.. Perkins ability to dis
charge the duties incumbent upon him
Suffice it to say that he has accom-
Tlished remarkable things considering
conditions under which he began his
work. The results will be worth far
O than the amount of his salary,
therefore VIC cannot afford to discon-
tinue this service.
AS to whose duty it is to pay Mr..
Perkins salary, it d%evolves, so far as
e Democrat is able to see, entirely
upon the county as a whole We can
not see how the commissioners could
expect the Greater H~endersonville
club OF the board of education to CO.
operate in this matter. 1t is an in
yestment that will bring manifold re-
turns to the people therefore the funds
should be taken from the country
treasury.
The demonstration work is making
fine progress, judging from the reports
Of farmers from all sections of the
county, and it would be a great blow
to u agricultural interests to dis
continue this good work. 1t would be
a drawback to our general progress
and a sad neglect of the farming in
t~erests, in the development of which
lie Henderson county's greatest posi-
bilities. I
1t is only reasonable to believe that
the commissioners will see their way
clear to continue the farm demonstra-
ton work and it is the duty Of the
people to impress upon them the wis
dom Of so doing. Let us go forward
and not backward in the development
CT one of, the grandest sections of the
world.

HENDERSON co. REMEMBERED.

=. Henderson county should highly ap
preciate the consideration shown it by
the Western North Carolina Fair asso-
citation. For the convenience Of ex:
hibitors the fair association has made
special arrangements for taking cara
and shipping exhibits from Hender-
sonville direct to the fair grounds, as
will be e in the Democrats news
columns.
The fair association has hoLorcd
Henderson county in coming here for
directors and judges for various depart
E4ents of the fair work, a. evidenced
by news stories in the Democrat from
time to time and our appreciation
should be expressed by a creditapls
showing of exhibits from this county.
The benefits to be derived from at
tending the fair and making exhibits
have been mentioned too frequently in
the Democrat to require repetition
here; we would now appeal to the
local pride of Henderson county. She

"FOOLISH TRADING"

AS producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
civilization and we are a p~resent-day
marvel in business efficiency, but in
dealing with foreign countries we are
a sorry lot of traders. Ever since
Vim. Penn traded the Indians a hand
full Of trinkets for what is now the
State of Pennsylvania, the American
people have been selling their 1irth-
tage, SO to speak.
We export over $50, 100000 of cat
tie and their products per annum,
which feeds the nations of Europe,
and American heiresses spend a
similar sum in buying and maintain
ing counts, dukes and titled peerages.
These foreign noblemen are, as a rule
absolutely worthless-in fact become
a perpetual liability-for it costs more

products of farm, mine and factory for
titled paupers who could not be re-
sold for any sum. 1t does not require
foreign treaties, a feet of war vessels
or tariff revision to stop this enorm-
GUS loss. It needs only common sense
in the homes of the rich.

pursued by the President has had ths
effect of Strengthening the administra-
ton, rather than enhancing Republi-
can chances of ucces at the ap-
rroaching election.
But the direful predictions of tho
opposition will not deter Mr.. Wilson
from keeping faith with the people OF

IDEAL, peace on earth and good win
10 men" Tho tendency Of the times
is towards the Democracy and Repub-
licans will labor in vain to stem the
tide. SIN five weeks" aptly remarks
the New York Times, .the whole po-
litical situation has changed. Not
only have the prospects of the parties
for success been exactly reversed, but
the alignment of policies has been alb
rubtly altered. Five weeks ago tbs
public announcements of Republican
leaders concerning their sure victory
In November correspondent perfectly
with their private opinions, and mec
with agreement in the inner councils
Of the Democrats. The Republican
Congressman were preparing for a
Republican avalanche not merely for
a Republican victory, and the Demo-
cratic Congressman were making
ready for a Waterloo. This was the
talk in lobby and cloak room, and j.
was the real reason why the Republi.
cans bore with such equanimity the
long seige in Washington, which
prevented them from going home to
mend the fences. They felt they did
oor need to mend them; while the
Democrats, who felt an urgent need,
we're FESTIVE and hard to hold in tho
Capital. Today there is not a Re-
publican Congressman who is not
telling his friends that the landslide
has ended before it began; that there
will be no avalanche and that the best
the party a do is to win the House
by a small majority, if it can do that.
The Democrats have an unprecedented
majority in the House at present and
expect it to be reduced. Republicans
r going to fight hard in close and
doubtful districts, but with a militant
Democracy on the firing line there
will be no change in the political COM
rlexion of the present congress. Dem
ocrats, see that your candidate for
Congress receives the unstinted sup
port of every good party man and his
election is assured. That's all.

feels that the best service be can rem.
der the Democracy and the American
people at this time will be to keep
his hand on the throttle and continue

WISE"
The State of Maine has gone Demo
cratic again and President Wilson is
pleased. Likewise Secretary Bryaa,
Secretary Daniels and Democrats gen.
orally throughout the country. In the
election on Tuesday, of last week the
present Republican governor of that
state was defeated for reelection by
the Democratic nominee and reports
indicate that the majority is more
than 5000. The Democrats will also
control the legislature. 1.-The result in
Maine is significant and. will have an
important bearing on the countrywide
campaign now in progress for MEM
bers of congress and United States
Senator's. 1t has set the pace.
Those Maine voters turned the cola
shoulder to the Bull Moose last week.
The progressive vote of 1912 was re-
duced from more than $4,000 to less
than 10000 at the recent election,
This would indicate the old lineup
between the Democrats and Repubg
licans two years hence. The boosted
Progressive party will have vanished
by that time, if political s~trategists"
are to be relied upon. In Maine, the
Republicans profited largely by the
discomfort with R%oosevelt's methods,
but the Democrats came in for a share
of the Progressive vote which enabled
them to elect their ticket.
Uncle Joe Cannon is coming back
to Congress If he succeeds in defeat
ing the Democratic incumbent who
displaced the former Speaker two
years ago. Uncle Joe went down in
the landslide which swept the Repub-
lcans from power in washington and
almost out of existence everywhere.
But after a spirited contest for a re-
nomination last summer he carried of
the honors and is again fighting for a
seat in the House. The district is
normally Republican and the old maas
stands a chance to win. He lisa good
fighter for a man Of his age.
It is duty first with President Viii
SON who says he intends to "stay on
his Job" during the fall campaign in

Presidents have been making political
speeches in defense of their admins
tration and in the interest of the
nominees Of their party. MI. Wilson
