WOODROW WILSON DAY.

HE managers Of the Democratic campaign have
! designated Saturday. October %, as Woodrow
Wilson Day. 1t is not the anniversary of his
BIRTH nor the date of either of his marriages, nor
the day on which he was nominated for any office
or made president of Princeton nor does it mark
any signal event in his career Yet r. w. Wooley.
who resigned a federal office to become the Wilson
press agent IN this campaign has drawn the follow.
ing program for Woodrow Wilson Day: Meetings
will be held in every city, town and hamlet in the
united States, and message from President Will
son to the people Of the nation will be read at each
OF these meetings. This message is to be sort of
proclamation of Americanism."
we can imagine nothing more fitting for the OBJ.
servancc of day which bears the name of Wood
row Wilson. TO carry out his part in the program
the President will have to make no departure from
his usual custom The countryside world. even
is already well used to having from Woodrow Will
son IA sort OF proclamation of Amcricanism.' It
Is apparently as near to real proclamation of
Amer1canlsm as Woodrow Wilson is able to get.
We have had sort of proclamations of American
Ism from him times without number. We find a
sort OF proclamation Of Americansm in the Phila-
delphla speech delivered the day after the Lusi-
tanla went down, in all the endless notes to the
German government in the days and months which
have followed that catastrophe, in the messages to
Carranza, in the frequent speeches from the
throne" delivered to Congress, in the addresses of
the winters swing around the circle, in the ha-
rangnes at Shadow Lawn, in the "non-politica''
addresses which have futtered from his lips in so
many parts of the country, in the letters sent to
worthy gudgeons who permit their names to be
used Tor the purpose and who see the letters
except in print.
The country is weary of "a sort Of" procama-
ton of Americanism. The country demands gen.
ulne, ringing proclamation of Americanism The
country long since ceased to expect such procla-
nation from Woodrow Wilson, and there will be
only ianguid interest in the ''sort Of proclama-
ton" which Woodrow Wilson will produce.
Ten days after Woodrow Wilson Dav the country
will itself issue real proclamation of American.
ism. November Twill be Charles E. Hughes Day
and every city, town and hamlet in the United
States will hail with enthusiasm the proclamation
that that true American has been elected President
of this Republic

M OST promising is the title to the leading edi.

gang this morning, 1.-The Truth About Boot
Logging" But, sad to relate, the screed has MOTH
ing to say about bootlegging.
True to its instinct the organ of lawlessness in

past. The people are not interested in ancient his

They know that bootlegging is being protected by

with the habit of abiect subserviency deeply in

and to say that lIaggerty cannot do his duty be-
cause some one else did this that is arrant nom
sense and an insult to the intelligence of the Mar
lon county people.
Haggerty has not made any attempt to enforce
what there is of the law That is the damning fact
upon which the voters will base their opposition to

WHAT MARION COUNTY GOT.

M ANY citizens attended the Cornwell meeting
AVA at the Court House last Saturday night to
hear an explanation of how levy of % cents
on the one hundred dollars under the MacCorkle
administration would be easier paid than nine
cents, the levy for next year for state purposes.
These voters were much disappointed; for he never
once mentioned the high state tax Of the good (f)
old Democratic days. Nor did he once mention
property valuation in Marion county. He spent
much Of his time in showing that one cent levy,
the lowest of any since the Dawson tax became
operative, produced less money than IA cents, the
highest rate since said laws became operative Any
child knows that is fact. By his figuring, and he
had 1t to the cent, the extreme range 1886 on
one cent levy and $685. fourteen cent levy.
And then he inquired if Marion county got any re.
turn, answering in the negative.
Mr.. Cornwell should have stated as carefully that
our county got 500 Of state money for Normal
School improvements last year.
Competent school men say Fairmont now has the
best school building in the state. Marion county
citizens are all proud Of it. They owe it to the pro-
gressiveness OF the Republican party.
Moreover we arc more than pleased that Judge
Robinson is one Of the many poor boys who in the
years past availc'l themselves OF the Farmont Nor
NAL school facilities. lie was graduated here. We
are glad also 10 recall that during his long period
OF service as member of the Board of Regents of
the Normal Schools Farmont's ladies' dormitory
was built
Judging by the little interest Mr. ,Cornwell has
shown in this state school, we believe every citizen
OF Marion county will prefer man in the govern
or's chair with the progressive views of Judge Rob-
inson,

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

yYIHEN the Democratic party came into power,
w sugar was selling for 4lc per pound, and
was paying to the government revenue of
$4,000, 900 per year. The Democratic tariff gradu
ally reduced the tariff on sugar to free basis but
q part Of this has been repudiated and the Demo.
Gratis have voted to retain 25fS of the former Re-
publican tariff and even this causes Uncle Sam to
lose $S5 100000 year in revenue and, at the same
time, the people have the delightful joy Of paying
Be pound for sugar. And this is the way the
Democratic tariff law worked out In practice.
