these arguments effectively, too.
In the first place, the speaker de-
clared that the democratic party is
more truly a national party than any
other has ever been. In substantial
ton of this statement he pointed to the
fact thai only one-fifth of the total
vote of the party in the nation is poll
ed in the south; that in 1912 the state
of New York alone gave to President
Wilson more votes than id nine south
ern states combined. He denied, too,
that the present government is being
dominated by southern men, though it
be a democratic government. While
a number of great committees of con-
gress have southern men as their
cha;rmen, the personnel of these COM
mittees, he pointed out is made up by
a vast majority of men from north of
the Mason and Dixon line.
In the face of such facts, Mr.. Weav-
er expressed himself as being unable
to understand how the. republican ma
tional leaders could find an Reuse to
draw the sectional line and attempt to
prejudice the campaign with the issues
of the war between the states; he was
even more at a loss to understand how
they could expect to gain support for
their representatives in the south after
telling these southern voters that they
had "Once risen in an effort to destroy
their government"
Mr.. Weaver devoted his time largely
to a discussion Of state and national
issues-issues upon which the voters
of the country would be asked to make
their decision upon the relative merits
Of the two c~ontending factions. He
reviewed briefly but pointedly the.
period of progress and prosperity that
North Carolina has enjoyed under
democratic rule. He declared that the
states financial affairs are in excellent
condition the holdings of stock in the
North Carolina and Atlantic and North
Carolina railroads being of practically
SUFFICIENT value to cover the outstand-
ing bonded Indebtedness, approximate
ing eight million dollars. He pointed
with pride to the states public school
system, bu 1t I'D under this continuous
democratic administration; its system
Of good roads, now penetrating practi-
callS every nook and corner of the
state; the prosperity of it's people; and
the satisfactory manner in which all
its institutions are maintained. And,
together with all these things, he asked
his hearers to bear in mind that North
Carolina, under democratic guidance.
has the lowest tax rate of any state in
the union. He paid a high tribute to
the personnel of the state administPa-
ton, declar ng it to be made up. with
out exception. of men of the highest
emciency and unquestioned integrity

RECEIvERSHIP FOR HUGHES.
nu York World. m

NEW 1OIh WOI4O'~
A Roosevelt r~eceivership for the
Hughes campaign has become neces-
sary. and the Hughes managers have
shown sense in accepting it. The
campaign is bankrupt morally and po-
litically, and if Mr.. Roosevelt cannot
put it back on its feet nobody can.
Mr.. Roosevelt ran the Taft campaign
in 1908. and he is exceptionally fitted
to run the Hughes campaign in 1916.
The task need not be arduous. Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Taft are much alike.
except that Mr.. Taft is ADLER and
broader minded, with a larger expert
ence in government and a wider
knowledge of men. Politically, MI.
Hughes is rather more conservative
than Mr.. Taft, but the Roosevelt in
dorsements that were given to Mr..
Taft in 1908 will serve admirably for
the 100 per cent candidate this year.
The Roosevelt assurances that Mr..
Taft is "a/man of my type and fully
committed to Fmy policies are, as
good now as they were eight years
ago. Mr.. Roosevelt put Mr.. Taft over
on the country in 1908, and the bust
ness of trying to put Mr.. Hughes over
ought to prove equally amusing. If
the country wants a repetition Of the
Taft administration, it has only to fol-
low Mr.. Roosevelt. If it wants anoth-
er proxy President, Mr.. Hughes is the
man.

men of high ideals and progressive
ideas.
Turning from state to national af-
fairs, Mr.. Weaver declared that the ma
tional legislation enacted during Mr..
Wilson's administration and according
to The party's platform pledges will
stand forever as a monument to the
party and its leaders. Upon this legis-
lative record alone, leaving out of con-
sideration the great volume of things
that the party has done for the
try during the past three and a half
years. President Wilson should be
reelected to a second term and be
given further endorsement by the re-
turn of a democratic congress to sup
port him in his further ~endeavOrs to-
wards the ultimate goal of progress
and prosperity.
Then Mr.. Weaver turned his atten-
ton to the effect that this democratic
administration has had upon the coun1
try. and it would seem that he let
down no bras for the eternal calamity
hOwleds. The prosperity which the
country is now enjoying declared the
speaker, is absolutely without prece-
dent-and he had the figures to back
I'D his statement. He produced these
figures to show that the national
wealth has increased over twenty-one
billions of dollars during the Wilson
administration; that the national bank
deposits have increased in commenSu-
rate proportions; and. finally, that this
prosperity is not localized but enjoyed
by every section of the country. Meth
er. he declared, is it monOpolized by
n particular industry. In answer
to the cry of that few that the war
did," he produced figures to show that
less than ten yer CEN of the Increase
in the national wealth is ~traceable,
even in its most remote ramifications,
to the traffic in munitions of war.
cit is a prosperity" declared Mr..
Weaver. that is substantial and last
ing. 1t is a prosperity that has been
established under a democratic ad-
ministration and it is one that will
continue as long as the present ad-
ministration remains at the head OF
tbs government"
Mr.. Weaver did not forget, either,
to uphold Mr.. Wilson with reference
to his foreign policy. He lickened the
great democratic leader to Washing
ton. Lincoln, Grant and Jefferson, IN
that he has been anxious to preserve
our relations with other powers
through diplomacy rather than by
force of arms. He has thus been able
to preserve peace abroad-while estab-
fishing an era of prosperity at home
that marks an epoch in American his
tory.

BEGINNING SCHOOL.

The mothers who are sending their
little ones out from the home nest into
the big world that begins at the school
room door are feelings very serious
these days. 1t means so much, the
change from home to school. No
wonder we seem to lose Jul boy or
our girl. They are never quite the
same afterward. But beautiful as this
mother love is it should go much
farther than it now is. No mother
should ever allow her child to go to a
school building until she herself has
been there first. until she knows just
what her child is going to find there.
The Bureau of Education at Washing
ton is sending free to all who will
ask for it a little bulletin under a
title something like this: "The mini
mum Requirements of a Country
School," I am quoting from memory
and am not sure that wording is ex-
actly right. But the bulletin explains
carefully the very least equipment
and provisions for the welfare of the
children of the country that should be
allowed in a country school. When
you have secured and read that bulle-
tin, as every mother who has children
in school should do, you will know
precisely what your school building
should have and why. Your child will
spend the great part of his time for
the next year in that room. He will
be there perhaps for the next two
years. Whether his health continues
as good as it now is, whether his eye
sight remains normal. his spine
straight and his shoulders square and
even. depends very largely upon that
school building. If the country-or
city either-is ever to have better
schools they must come as the result
of an intelligent demand from the
patrons of these schools. We must
know precisely what we want and
why, and then go after it. When you
have this bulletin (and the Bureau of
Education has others also that you
ought to have) you are not advocating
any personal matter or cranky notion,
but you have back of you the authori-
ty of the U. s.. Commissioner of Edu>
cation, Mr.. P. P. Claxton, one of the
best friends the country school or any
school ever had.
But there is another reason for get
ting this bulletin and being awake to
the needs of our children. o yes, we
know when Johnny needs new shoes
INT When Mary needs a new dress,
and maybe that is about all we uo
know about their needs. We should
be ashamed Of a ragged, ~raw-boned
cold Or a scrawny calf. But Johnny
may have arms no thicker than a
broom handle and Mary may be pale
and ho~llow-eyed and we see nothing
wrong. We note the calf or the colt
and at once get to work to correct a
condition that would injure the mar
ket value of the animal. Do the men
do their work more carefully with
their animals than women with their
children? 1t looks that way some
times. And yet it is all a mater of
habit. We want to be such good
housekeepers. such good cooks, SO
well dressed, so up-to-date with our
work that we think of our children
last when We should think of them
first. We must train ourselves differ

ently.-we women. 1t is not enough
to talk about health and wish for it.
You are not very near a ~chicken-pie
dinner when you talk about how good
it is. We must do the things that get
what we want. And So let us begin
the school year better than we ever
did by getting this bulletin and learn
ing what our school should be like;
and then let us make them right
