TRADING AWAY FROM HOME.

H0"nderSonVuIe people ~
spend for Asheville merchandise a
sum variously estimated at $4,000
to $4,000.
The habit of shopping in AsheVille
| by people who depend on Henderson
vile business for a livelihood is grow
ing more serious from year to year
and it should be abated.
The solution of the problem lies
it'll the merchants, the buying pub
lie and the newspapers.
The merchants have given thought
to the situation in its various lights
but no concerted effort has been made
for improvement whereby a portion
tof this enormous outflow may be
checked.
In talking with Hendersonville mer-
chants, we find that some of them are
CT the opinion that organization with
the view to cooperation looking to
more special lines of merchandise in
order to better cope with the situation
would go along way in keeping some
of this trade in Hendersonville.
At the best, we may expect some
shopping in Asheville but not on the
present gigantic scale. Every day or
so the Hendersonville banks and
merchants are called over telephone
to give information as to the credit OF
| customers, who always settle prompt
ly for Asheville merchandise in orde"
to keep their standing good away
from home, regardless of the outcome
among those on whom they mostly de-"
pend at home.
While the problem is a big one AMI
is becoming more serious and compli-
Gated, the Democrat believes that or
~ganization and cooperation will solve
it, 1t is necessary for more speciali-
zation instead of almost every mer-
Grant attempting to carry anything
in stock from a two cent cake of soap
to a tailor made suit. By co-operat-
ing and specializing, merchants could
afford to carry greater assortments
and as a result supply the varied
tastes of the women shoppers.
The situation having once reached
this stage of perfection, the news
papers will have more grounds
for criticising home people for spend
ing their money elsewhere while sat
isfaction at possibly smaller prices
could be had at home.
This is an age when the women read
the newspapers for the announce
ments of merchants and if they cannot
find in the newspapers of Henderson
vile the advertisements of some who
claim to rank foremost among our
Tnerchants, they will read other adj
vertisements therein and be led to
Asheville or elsewhere. Asheville
merchants are wise as to advertising
judgment is to be commended for
placing their announcements directly
before the Hendersonville people.
AS we said above, there will be some
trading in Asheville by Hendersonville
people at the best. We may always
expect this, just as those from Saluda,
Flat Rock, Brevard and other towns
shop in Hen%dersonville, but it is a
condition that needs immediate and
e%ffectual attention on the part of our
merchants, who are assured the Dem
ocrat is ready to offer its services.
Meanwhile we would urge our sub
scribers to read the announcements in
the Democrat of Hendersonville mer-
chants and buy at home when posi-
bic, for every dollar spent here re-
mains with us to help the people along
while money spent elsewhere seldom,
if ever, returns.

change. Put it in straight.
Those who want to return the Re
publican party to power and rein
state Cannonism at Washington will
cast their pballots for Mr.. Britt. A
vote for Congressman Gudger means
a vote to sustain President Wilson and
continue his policy OF protection for
the masses-a continuation of peace
at home and friendship abroad. 1t is
after all, a question of principle rath-
er than of men. The administration
of President Wilson is on trial. Gud-
ger stands f1at-footed for the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Britt can see no good in
either the President, or the Democrat
IL party. This is the situation in d
nut shell. There is no middle ground.
The duty of every Democrat is plain
as day.
The Republican National Committee
issued no campaign text book. Rea-
sons are obvious, the principal n be-
ing that they could not afford to go
into print with criticisms of the Dem
cratic administration after so many
Republicans have voted for it's meas
ures. To enumerate: Seven Repub-
cans (and Progressively voted for the
Simmons-Underwood tariff bill; thir-
ty-eight Republicans voted for the
Currency Bill; seven Republicans
voted for the Clayton antitrust Bill;
inst twelve of them failed to support
the Stock and Bond Bill, and one
Lone lonesome st~and-patter voted
against the Trade Commission Bill.
All these are Democratic platform
measures, too. But they appealed so
strongly to the people that even some
Republicans dared not support them.
This is the record which aided the
Republican National committee in
reaching the conclusion that it would
be useless to issue "a handbook this
year.
Hon John P. Patton won his seat in
the General Assembly from Hender-
son county two years ago by personal
work. The Democratic candidates
this year may win in like manner. Go
out amongst the people and get ac-
quainted. Let them know you will
appreciate their support. 1t is said
that ga faint heart never wins a fair
lady" Emulating the example of the
only winner on the Democratic tickeS
in 1912, go right out after the votes.
They may often be had for the ask
ing. Democratic officials are manag-
ing affairs wisely and well in seventy
five of the one hundred counties in
North Carolina and they would RENE

the opportunity we're presented. ga

a change.

HUMAN element .
A factor in THE
GREAT WAR CAME

Former European Manager OF the United
Press
NEW YORK, Aug. Belgium's sud
denly revealed capacity for skilled de-
fensive tactics indicates that the Ger
mans, in their passion for the science
of warfare, have overlooked the human
element in battles. The disarrangement
OF Germany's campaign for moving
through Belgium is due to the fact that
ON paper Belgium is a negligible mili-
tary quantity. But as the Beers and
the American colonists and many other
people have proven, the human element
is capable of reversing the most exact
scientific predictions.
Germany did not allow for the human
element when a twelve-hour ultimatlm
was sent to the Gar, nor did it enter
into Germany's reckoning when Italy
was invited to stand by Austria, Italy's
