CAMPAIGN FUND.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a communication from Mann
Wills, treasurer of the state demo-
cratic campaign committee, asking
that the States-Graphic open its col
umns for popular subscriptions to the
campaign fund We take pleasure in
complying with this request and urge
all democrats to send us their sub
scriptions of whatever denomination.
1t takes money for a successful cam
paign and the democracy of Haywood
county should do it's part. The victo-
ry will not come without fight, for
the republicans are organizing all
down the line. Let's do our part.

When you read through this issue Of
the paper just take time enough to
let one fact sink into your active brain.
The paper on which this issue was
printed has cost US approximately
double what it cost us two years ago.
The ink we used is away up in price.
The oil that keeps the press revolving
is up in price. The power that moves
the machinery is sky high. In fact.
every item of expense is up in the
clouds and many are way above them,
and every dollar of expense means
that amount right out of our pocket.
A great many subscribers are in ar
rears on subscription, and we need that
money in order to meet the rapid ,
increasing cost of producing this pa
per. It is simply thoughtlessness on
your part we know, but our creditors
do not recognize that word. It don't
go with them for an instant. Do we
get "ours" brother?

The campaign to be made in this
county in the interest of better beef
and dairy cattle cannot be too highly
commended. Community live stock
meetings are advertised at various
points in the county on September IA
Is. Our farmers should take the
time from business to attend these
meetings. They have reached that
place on the road to successful farm
ing where scrub stock should be dis
carded for the pure bred and graded
stock. There is no money in scrubs.
They eat just as much as the pure
bred, but when selling time comes they
do not produce the profits. Go out to
these meetings, farmers, consider the
propositions made, and if they are
practical, as we are sure they will be,
adopt them and thus join the club for
Kidding Haywood county of scrub
attic.

This is mighty good time for ev.

This is mighty good time for ev.
erybody to get busy and improve our
country roads. Winter will be coming
along soon and then we will be again
lamenting the fact that the roads ar
muddy, and rough, and getting worse
all the time" Of course they will be
muddy and rough, and will keep on
getting worse unless we buck up our
selves and get out and do something
worth while. We have never yet seen
a fellow who was not willing to get
out his hammer and knock when the
subject of country roads is mentioned,
but very few of them are willing to
use shovel, or a spade, or a scraper,
If we had more to do and less talk we
would have good roads everywhere and
the family hammer could be, put to
better use. .bo

Again the youth of our community
are back in school and preparing them-
selves for the duties of life. A few
years hence they will be bearing tn 1
burdens Of the community that arr

upon us to see that they are in every
way fitted to come with the many and
intricate problems that will confrorA
them. Education is a modern necesS
sity. 1t is no longer luxury reserv-
ed principally for the rich. 1t is just
as essential that the mind of the far,
mer be developed to its utmost a
pacity as it is for the merchant or tbs
doctor or the lawyer. Each branch Of.
industry is dependent in a great meas j
ure on the success attained by other
branches. No longer can we "go ID
alone" as our forefathers did in tie
good old days. Hence, if we won.e

with comprehending eyes can fail to

life and energy and initiative in the
great affairs of peace. We are Amer

look forward to the days in which
America shall strive to stir the world
without irritating it or drawing it on
to new antagonists, when the nations
with which we deal shall at last come
to see upon what deep foundations of
humanity and justice our passion for
peace rests, and when all mankind
shall look upon our great people with

people, who, though keen to succeed,
seeks always to be at once generous
and just to whom humanity is dearer
than profit or selfish power.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH
OF ACCEPTANCE.

In his speech of acceptance Presi-
dent Wilson paid little or no attention
to the criticisms which his republican
opponent has been indulging against
the administration. In this he showed
his greatness. He is too big to waste
---.-.> swapping eprrrevs wr~r an vppv-'
nent. His defense of his foreign pol
ley and of his attitude toward Next
90, leaves little ground for criticism
on the part of those who differ from
him on these perplexing problems.
There were many even of his own par
ty who believed that Mexico should
have been humbled, and yet when his
policy of humanity toward that nation
is studied, its wisdom is apparent.
Here is what he had to say on this
subject:
The people of Mexico are striving
for the rights that are fundamental
to life and happiness-ffteen million
oppressed men, overburdened women,
and pitiful children in virtual bondage
in their own home of fertile lands and
inexhaustible treasure! Some of the
leaders of the revolution may often
have been mistaken and violent and
selfish, but the revolution itself is in
evitable and is right. The unspeak-
able Huerta betrayed the very COM
rades he served, traitorously overthrow
the government of which he was a
trusted part, impudently spoke for the
very forces that lad driven his peo-
pie to the rebellion with which he had
pretended to sympathize. The men
who overcame him and drove him out
represent at least the fierce passion of
reconstruction which lies at the very
heart of liberty; and so long as they
represent, however imperfectly, such
a struggle for deliverence, am ready
to serve their ends when / can. So
long as the power of recognition rests
with me, the government of the United
States will refuse to extend the hand
of welcome to anyone who obtains the
hand of power in a sister republic by
treachery and violence. No permanent
cy can be given the affairs of any re-
public by title based upon intrigue
and assassination.
Finally he sums up the whole mat
ter of his administration in the fol-
lowing words which are Characteristic
of the man and of his matchless adj
ministration Of our great nation dur
ing the most trying period Of its his
tory:
l have not spoken explicitly, gentle
men, of the platform adopted at st.
Louis; but it has been implicit in all
/ have said / have sought to inter-
pref its spirit and meaning. The peo-
pie of the United States do not need
to be assured now that that platform
is a definite pledge, a practical pro-
gram. We have proved to them that
our promises are made to be kept.
We hold very definite ideals. We
believe that the energy and initiative
of our people have been too narrowly
coached and superintended; that they
should be set free, as we have been set
free, to dispense themselves through
out the nation; and they should not be

Many soldiers serving on the bor-

the primaries and at the general cleo
tons as a reward CD for their pat
riotism and fidelity in time of national
stress. These National Gpardsmen,
over hundred thousand of them, were
sent to the border to protect American
citizens and American property from
the raids of the bloodthirsty brigands
across the Rio Grande. Many of them
left positions in civil life which paid
them many times the amount of theii
government pay. The sacrifices they
have made are not small. And vet
there is no government law which
gives them the right to vote at their
company stations for the civil officers
who are to rule them when they return
to their homes. The soldiers from a

state made laws, but the many do not

considerably perturbed because they
had to move along so quickly.
