Taxes are never popular, but the irent majority of citizens of* the CSlted States, earning under <3,000 a year, and thus exempted from the In come tax bore with fortitude the voe of the minority of citizens who were paying that tax. . Possibly It was because the Income tax fell upon a rather small minority that the political leaders in congress have referred to it as the most popular tax ever imposed by law. The income tax could not figure very large In an •lection. Those who are not obliged to pay the tax are overwhelmingly In the majority. - The war taxes, however, became a- political issue for the simple. reason that they affected everybody. In creased payments must be matte, not. merely by those who buy and sell, bonds and shares of stock, or who bor row money on promissory notes or .sell real estate, but by those yho >o long distance telephoning, who Insure their goods or: buildings, who use. peffum- ' cry, brush .their teeth, chew gum, drink beer or wine or spirits, or use =SNtobacco. : / Virtually all classes of. then and women must share the new burden of taxation. At once the StoijektSepera- In' some cities gave it as an excuse foot in creased prices on various articles,' and many questions were asked. . ▲ iman or a woman always regards philosoph ically the taxes that are lmpoaed on a neighbor, but when they actually en counter such taxation In their iOv^i ex penses there is a change of attitude. - It was with an ,eye to the poBtlcal future that the mhjoritf party stipu lated that the taxes should expire-by limitation on Decetnber31_of next year r some limp- W-pY-c- campaign begun—but the, voters'have- a way of remembering hardships. If resentment growB, it will manifeBi in- self even after the taxes’-have been withdrawn. . Made in America. ■/ "Made In America” is -an "excellent movement. ■ ■ But it will not be In full swing again until after 1913,'when we shall have a Republican president and con gress to replace our-present Demo cratic "Made in Europe” 'tariff, with a real protective tarlff’ to secure the home markets for goods "Made In America" by Americaniabor employed at American wages. ■ How amusing it ls;;ifo^§nd.

By Petor Radford IiBcturer National Farmers’ Union. Klns Cotton has suffered more from the Bcropean war than any other -MT*, ricultural product on tho American' continent. The sheila of the belliger ents have hursted over his throne, frighten Ins his auhiects and shatter* Jag his markets, and, panic-stricken, the nation cries out "God save the People from every walk of life have contributed their mite toward rescue work. Society has danced before the king; milady has decreed that the family wardrobe shall contain only cotton goods; the press has plead •With the public to “buy' a bale"; 'bankers have been formulating hold ing plans; congress and legislative bodies have deliberated over relief measures; statesmen and writers Jiave grown eloquent expounding the Inailmable rights of “His Majesty” and presenting schemes for preserv ing the financial integrity of the atficken staple, but the sword of Eu rope has proved mightier than the pen of America in fixing value upon this product of the sunny south. Prices ltave been bayoneted, values riddled and markets decimated by the battling hosts of the eastern hemisphere until the American fanner has suffered a war loss of 1400,000,000, and a bale of cotton brave enough to enter a Suropean port must pay a ransom of half Its value or go to prison until the war is over. Hope of the Future Lies In Co-opera tion. The Farmers’ Union, through the columns of the picas, wants to thank the American people for the friend ship, sympathy and assistance given the cotton farmers In the hour of dis tress and to direct attention to co operative methods necessary to per manentty assist the marketing of all farm products. The present emergency presents as grave a situation as ever confronted the American farmer and from the viewpoint of the producer, would seem to Justify extraordinary relief meas ures, even to the point' of bending the constitution and atnfinlng business rules In order to lift a portion of the burden off the backs of the farmer, for unless something fc done to check the Invasion of the war forces upon ;the cotton fields, the pathway of the I Buropean pestilence on this continent ..Will be strewn with mortgaged homes ,and famine and poverty will stalk over ’the southland, filling,' the highways of I industry with- refugees and the bank ruptcy court with PniIsoners. All calamities teefctr us lessons and Ithe present crisis s ervas to illuminate the frailties of our' marketing meth ods and the weakness of our credit system, and out oil the financial an guish and travail of! the cotton farmer will come a volume of discussion and a mass of suggestions *nd finally ra solution of thift the biggest problem In the economic iife of .America, it, indeed, we hrlve not already laid the foundation tor at least temporary re lief. / More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture, Farm products! have no credit and perhaps' can never haver, on a perma nent arid satisfactory banis unless we bnild warehouses, cold storage plants, elevators, etc., for without Storage and credit facilities, the sou th is com pelled to diatnp ItB crop on the market at harvest/ time. The Farmers’ Dnions In the cotton producing sta tes have for the prist ten years persistently' ad vocated •' the construction Of^stOwige facilities. We have built during tbfe period '2,000 warehouses wltjt a ca- paeityof approximately 4,000,000 bales and looking backward the results wouM seem encouraging, but looking forward, we are able to hoaate less than one-third of the crop antd ware houses without a credit system lose 99 per cent of their usefulness. Thi problem is a gigantic one—too great for the farmer to M ve unaided. He must have the assistance of the bank er, the merchant and the government In production We ■ have readhed the Ugh water mark of perfection in the world’s history,- !nit our marketing methods are most primitive. Jn the dawn of history we find agriculture plowing with a forked stick but with a system! of warehouses tinder govern-' mental superviafcni that mad# 4 he Egyptians the marvel of civilization, for who S n not &dmired. the vision oil Joseph linn applauded the vrisdoiin of Pharaoh' for storing the surplus nntil demanded by Ifhe consume*; butt in this age we have too niany Jonephs 3Who dream and not enOuih Phaiiiohs Who: build. ■ ; !■* •- _______ .__^ .- L^ S ; oati \ * After a prolonged study jotAiia^iipv- Uon roturnSl fMr Roosevelt makei tha forma] announcement thnt "I am a1 prLvmte Of the' privatest Jtlml/’-^Ex- ctiP -' /.I . 1• .

We waat to eay tbat some time ago aa erder house seat, ns an ad. We turned it down. We did not believe it would be treating oar home merchants right t* ran tke ad. : And we did sot believe that we would be helping those who might answer the ad and erder the goods. That is too much like '‘bay ing a pig in a sack.’* Sometimes ear people leave here and do shopping in neighboring town. Weeonldmentionafewand tell what they shopped. For in stance, why would one'leave here iind go to Newton, Uorgainton or Lenoirsimply to bny a hat or an tvercoat? There is bnt one reason for it. It is not because he can’t get as good here and just as cheap as where the . things made, even.

The heaviest and hardest to get rid of Is Joseph Cannon, who goes back to congress from his district in IUlnpiB.-Whitewater Gazette. xfi\lr,j3annon is really a “millstone’ bung about the neck of hlB party, who hung It there? Why, the majority of the electors In bis district. Mr. Cannon was fairly elected by popular vote. If the people of that district choose’ to be represented by Mr. Cannon, that Is their right, and who shall say them nay? Our Progressive friends harp a Eooil1Cleal on the "Let the people rule" principle. Very good. Then if the Canville people, after trying another man, have gone back with considerable gusto to Mr. Cannon, why bark at them by barking at the uinn of their choice and preference? Presumably they are the best judges of their own business; and the picking of a man to represent them in con gress is emphatically their own busi ness. Mr. Cannon Is certainly not an ex periment. His constituents have a very thorough knowledge, based ou long experience, of his value as a rep resentative. He suits them, and they have a right to be suited.

Mr. Marshall says: “The Democratic I platform does not hind him (the presi dent) to a single term.

At any rate the people iu this vicinity are abundantly satisfied and sufficiently amused by the un- Ustitedamountof cloudiness that has* boon unloaded here. There were .13 rainy days, ou which 6:63 iuehes were precipitated achieving aa excess of 2:67 for 4he month, but this did not prevent a deficit of 14.04 inches for the year, a reminder of the dry period of last May aqd Jane. Up to yesterday afternoon there were only 74.8 hears of sunshine, or seven and a half days of an average length of 10 hours, which ia now the rale. This cloudiness is the distinguishing feature of the month. The highest temperature record ed was 63 degrees on December I, and the lowest was 16 on the 27.

For the first time in many years tbe question of the protection of the farmer from the dog is going to be brought seriously to the at tention of the Legislature and de mand made for relief. Ia recent years the farmers have turned their attention to the raising of live stock, aod have made efforts a t'a revival of sheep husbandry. Their efforts have met with discourage ment by reason of the depredations ofstray dogs to each an extent that the demand for a dog law ia this time coming from the farmers direct, and the Legislatnre will be given to understand that it - is the farmers themselves, that are aek- ing for protection. They are go ing to make the Legislatnre look ’ on the “yaller” dog question in a new light. A State dog law is on the way. Orange eonnty has ta ken the lead. [Tbe Becord hopes that Davie’s representative will help to swat the sheep killing dog. Editor.] Wkere the Coward is in Evidence. Monroe Joonia]. “Did you ever notice,” said a gentleman in the Journal, office yesterday, “that people will go along the road and shoot to pieces every sign that a merchant has put up, every land poster notice that a farmer has pat up, and every other kind ot sign, and at the same time they will not dare to shoot a little old tin mail box that didn’t cost half so much as a sign board? The reason of that is that they are cowards. They will not shoot at a mail box because they are afraid that the United States will find out who did it and panish them, but they know lftat the owners of other property will net prosecute them.” Would be RIgkL Durham Herald.

The church, the press and the school form a triple alliance of progress that guides the destiny 6t every commun ity, state and nation. ^ Without them civilization would wither and die and through them life may attain its great est blessing, power and knowledge - The farmers of this nation are greatly Indebted to this social triumvirate for their uplifting influence^ and on behalf of the American plowmen I want to thank those engaged in these htffi callings for their able and efficient service, and’I shall offer to the press a series of - articles on cooperation between these important influences and the farmer* in the hope of In- creasing the-efficiency of all by mu tual understanding and organized ef fort We will take up, first, the rural church. ,The Farmers Are Great Church Build era. 1 TheAmerlcaiifamerlBthegreatesl church builder ttePworld has ever known. He is the custodian of the nation’s morality; upon his shoulden rests the “ark of the covenant” and he is more responsive to religious In- lluences than..aay other class of cit izenship. ; t The farmers of this nation have built 120,000 churches at a cost ol $750,000,000,: and the annual contribu tion of the'nation toward all church Institutions approximates 1200,000,OOt per annum. The farmers of the Uni ted States build 22 churches per day. There are 20,000,000 rural church com munlcants on -the; farm, and 54 pel cent *of the total membership of all churches reside In the country. The farm is the power-house of al) progress and the birthplace of all that is noble. The Qarden of Eden wat In the country and the man who would get close to Qod muet first get close to nature. The Functions of a Rural Church. If the rural charches today are go- Ing to render a service which this age demands, there inust be cooperation between the religious, ,social and eco nomic life of the community. The church to: attain its fullest meas are of success must enrich the livei of the people in the community it serves; it must; JMiild character; devel op thought and increase the efficiency of human life. It must serve the so cial, business and intellectual, as well as the spiritual and moral, side of life If religion does not make a man more capable, more ,useful and more just, whatgoodls it:? We want a practical religion, one ws can live by and farm by, as well a* die Dy. Fewer and Better Churches. Blessed '-is that rural: community which has but one place of -worship While competition Is the life of trade It is death .to the rural church and moral starvation to the community Petty sectarianism Is a scourge that blights the; life, and the-church preju dice saps the ; vitality, of many com munities. An -oveivchurched commun Ity is a crime against religion, a seri ous handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture. While denominations are essential and churchy pride commendable, the Ugh teaching of universal Christianity must prevail if the rural church is to fulfill its mission to agriculture. ’ We frequently have three or font churches in/a community which Ib not able to adequately support one. Small congregations .attend services once a month aad aU fall to perform the re ligious functions ’of the ,community. Tb®. dlvlBion of religlous forces and the breaking'into fragments of moral efforts is ofttlmes little less than s calamity and defeats the very purpose they seek to promote. The evils of too many churches can be minimized by co-operation. The social and ,economic life of a rural community are. respective units and cannot be successfully divided by de nominational lines, and the churches can only occupy this important field by cooperation and coordination. The efficient country church will definitely serve its community by lead Ing In all worthy efforts at community building, In uniting the people In all ixKiperatlve endeavors for the • gen eral welfare of the community and Ia arousing a ;real love for country life and loyalty to the country home and these results can only be successfully accomplished by the -antreA effort oi the press, the schooU .the church anc organized farmers. ■ Why Not Orguize Heo CWba?

Hood Illustration of the Results of the Law Should Make Interesting Reading for the Nation’s Workers. This concrete illustration of how the Underwood tariff works out in one of its phases comes from Portland. Oregon: There is, the Oregonian tells us, in the vicinity of Portland a hardwood lumber mill which is about to move awa.v. Until recently it im ported logs from Japan and sawed them into veneers tor sale in this country. Since we'reduced the duty on hardwoc-d the Japanese have built, mills in their own country. They. have taken to exporting the sawed lumber to this country. The Oregon mill is closed and the owners an nounce their intention to remove the plant to Japan. They null maintain only a distributing yard, at Portland The mill soon to he dismantled em ploys about one hundred men at an average of per day. The Japanese nun will employ men at thirty- to fortv cents per day. The Oregon millmen operating in Japan will have the advantage of this cheap labor, but what is to become of the one hundred Americans who are to be displaced? And what reason hare we to expect that hardwood lumber and its prod ucts will be any cheaper because Jt is sawed by tiiirty-cent Japanese in stead of three dollar Americans? The minmen are not moving to Japan in order to save money to the consum ers. They are moving In ordeT to save money for themselves and to in crease their pj.-ofits. The owners of the mill in question, the Oregonian tells us, are enthusiastic Democrats. Why should they not be? Tired of Democratic Tariff. There is no ^question that the farm ers are disgusted with the Underwood tnriif bill. Tlwre' is a growing dissat isfaction among workingmen., The business men of the country justly admire the fine .personality of the president, but they realize the failure of the new tariff law. Added to their troubles are a lot of annoying features incident to the war tax and banking measures., Busimoss men who in Sep tember and October believed the de pression was duo to the war know bet ter now. V/e are not at war, with Australia or Brazil or China or Can ada or Cuba or Holland, yet the bal ance of trade with these countries is against us. Nor* has war interfered with our businetss with Argentina, ■which is increasing its imports to this country. When a good Democrat like Norman Maclt is quoted as . beginning to champion a protection policy as a relief for bad times, and when men like Governor Baldwin of Connecticut urge amendments to the tariff law, even the most loyal Democrat must admit the Underwood tariff is respon sible for the failure to maintain pros perity. I Credit to Whom It Is Due.. Secretary McAdoo, with supreme as surance, takes to his department a large measure of the credit for main tenance of financial order in the United States In the crisis caused by the war. Indeed, he acknowledges "cordial and Intelligent co-operation of the banking and business interests of the country,” but he places first “the prompt ami effective action of the treasury department.” But public con- i sensus will bo that the larger measure I of credit belongs to those interests I to which he gives credit only for co- ‘ operation... For instance, the prompt closing 5f the stock exchange did more to avert “a panic of cataclysmic I proportions," than any step taken by his department. And but for the em- ergency-currency law which, a Repub lican congress some years ago enact ed, the treasury department would not have been able to give relief by means of emergency currency, for-this I administrations currency law was still Ifar from being effective when the war lbroke out.—Albany Journal. Putting Party First. The last presidential utterance on the issue between him and the senate shows a disposition to dodge the com fiict in the interest of having his measures adopted'. Is there any meas ure which lie BtiU has for adoption more important than respect for the Constitution in spirit as well as let ter? The views with which the presi dent is credited Bhow a disposition to surrender independent action to party spirit. Few Triumphs to Record. When Secretary of State Bryan des cants on what he is pleased to de scribe as the recent Democratic vie- lory, it will be remembered that po litical triumphs have been included by fate among the lists'of things of which his experience has afforded him .scant opportunity to judge. Weary of Democratic Government. Union Republican. Ncw' York has bad fear years of Democratic rule^and it has proven most undersirabls. It cams into power iu that State not by virtue of any, established claim upon public confidence or popular ap proval. Itcame back to power after half a- generation of-exile because Repnblican credit had de clined to the vanishing point and the accnmalating indignation over scandals, legielatve effeaceeagianet penal as moral codes was accentuat ed by the division between Repub licans themselves over Theodore Roosevelt. - It was conceivable;" there was the possibility, that the Demoerats then returning to control in the State would reeprcsent a newer and better ideal ot public service; that young men, clean men, a rising generation, impatient of bosses and politicians, would find a lead er in Dix and an opportunity in Republican disorganization. , Biit tbe disappointment has been great and Governor Charles S. Whitman, Republican, was elected by an overwhelming majority in November and was duly qualified as Governor on January 1st. Speakingof Democrat rule in Uew York, the Ifew York, the N. Y. Sun of January 1st, thus briefly summarizes the result: ' Looking back over the past four years who can fail to perceive what a mess tbe Democrats have made of it alii From the vbry moment when the dispute over the United States SeBatorship disclosed the net that the worst in the old was tbe predomitmut ln the hew Uemh^ cratic party to the closing incidents in the Sulzer impeachment there has been the same stupid, blunder ing inaptitude, the same blindness to public opinion, totheever grew- impatienee of the people ot the State with politicians who as public servants were a disgrace and as politicians were beneath, contempt.

While all may wisa Presideal Wilson a happy New Year there are few who will prophesy for him a happy year to eouie. No one who is acquainted with the present conditions at Washington can fail to see the etorm clouds. Theyearof 1915 will be beset with' difficulties on every side for Mr. Wilson. It will require tbe expenditure of every particle of bis ingenuity and cleverness to avert open political disaster before tbe year comes to an end. The past twelve months have made a mighty ehange in the place which Mr. Wilson holds before the country. A year ago he was in an apparently enviable position. He was the acknowledged leader of his party. His will was the one and only guide that Democrats sought and followed. In House and Sea ate alike he was master. Legisla tion was framed at bis behest. Congress adjourned or stayed in session at his bidding. Both iB principal and in detail the laws that were passed were drawn a this command. The results was a sent- ment througont the country dis tinctly favorable to:the man in the white Hoase who had brought this about. The next step in the mental pro cesses of the country was to exam ine what had been done. It was in this test that Mr. Wilson failed. It was fouiid that the new tariff law was of benefit alone to the for eign manufacturer, and that it made lean the pocketbook of the JSbtjjiL IM B M tJrfctts=W M ftV lt' wasfouod that this business legis lation was based oh the principal that success is a crime, and that through it all there ran the spirit of persecution. The energies of the Govenrment were found to be turned to tbe injury of business, not to its benefit. The Wilson Administration waB found to be partisan and aeetional. None but members of his own party were considered even for offices that were eminently non-partisan in their character and their duties. Unnecessary taxes were put upon the people to pay the price of Democratic tariff bungling and ex travagance. The bight standard of American displomacy was low ered, and onr handling of interna tional matters bad become a re- preach to tbe United States and a joke to the other nations'^of the • - ' o Uworld. The election reculte of November Were theanswerol the voters to the work of the Administration. It Was a rebuke to the party in power and a clear warning that twohence there was to be a change of ^administratiba unless things changed greatly for the better and tlrat is hardly probable. The work of Congress has been bis work, and for every executive., act of his Ad ministration he is properly respon sible. Today Mr. Wilson has lost the support of the country, which at the beginning waj his. He is also lbsihg bis. hold upon his own party, as recent events at Washington amply prove. There even come now Jfrem Democratic sonrces ,sug gestions of the nomination another man to lead them in 1916. Ar. Wilson thus faces the New .Year with a badly tarnished halo, with a greatly diminished prestige in his owh party, and with the pros pect of formidable opposition to hiil own program and plans. - Wheaf Reaches Highest Price in Fwty Tears.

A lew days ago General Joffre invited two colonels to accompany him to the field near Arras, pro mising show them “something never before seen in war.” Ar riving. there, he bad 600 pieces of heavy artillery so placed that they would rake, fore and aft and in the middle the near by trenches of the enemy in a comparatively short plexus. Then he had all these guns turned loose simultaneously, followed by a bayonet charge, which was not resisted for the rea son that the trenches had been utterly destroyed, and not. a man eseaped death and horrible mutila tion. IfgeueralJoffre intended that exhibition as a scientific demon stratiou, that is one thing; but if heintendeditJas:.as«rt:'TSf'feBter" tainment for the colonels, it is a: ghastly business to think of in this age of civilization. It is rather like the days of the Borgas and those other execrable persons of en tertain their guests with programs of torture and murder. In the dark times this kind of entertainment was much appreciated. Perhaps the story as it comes by cable has been exaggerated. That is the only possibility that makes ,t unthinkable as the aet of even so warlike a man Joffre.

Hendricks what rou think about the matter. THEiOOG. The Record has long been an ad- Biireref The Charlotte Observer, and oar admiration grows stronger day by day. The Observer differs with us on political matters, but when it cemes to fighting for a dog tax, we stknd shoulder to shoulder and dip out of the same pot. so to speak. Listen to this sensible edi torial which The Observer published Thursday: "A few days ago The Observer stated on information that Rowan is taking in $4,OOO a year on the dog tax levied £nd«r a special .law for that' county. There are 100 counties in North Carolina. Some of these are smaller than Rowan, but 'ihdre are larger, ao that Rowan may be taken as au averasre county for the basis of a dog tax calcu lation. The Observer figures it •ut that a general tax of $2 to the dog !would net the State the rise of half a million dollars a year, provided the law should be enforced to the extent of catching 80 per cent. of. the dogs. Two thousand tax-pay ing dogs to the county is an es timate so low as to be within the bounds of safety. In coun ties like Ueoklenburg, Wake, Cumberland. Edgecombe. Hali fax, Wilkes and Burke, the un taxed dogs will average from 3.500 to '5,000. In no county is the number of decs less than 1,501. The riile.holds good in the sparsely settled counties; because the poorer the family the greater the number of Ieusy curs. The better the land is * adapted^ to sheep raising, the thicker the dog abounds. Here is a tremendous opportunity for raising jevenue. Think of the school lfauses that could be built and partly maintained, through the imposition and collection of a dog tax! The Observer sen\e time age printed the.story of an order for school furniture filled by a Hickory firm for. -a cennty in Georgia, and the whole ef it paid from funds collected by a tax on dogs. The doga iri North ^Carolinti should bemadetasdd te'the comforts of the ietftbl houses and to add to tie lalar- ies of the teachers. In thebourse of time the revenue would be reduced from the thinning out of the degs. but a vast amount of good .would have been accomplished meanwhile. Tbe State would have fewer dogs, but on the ether hand, it would 1 have better paid school teacher*, bet- : ter equipped school houses, and best and more important, pos sibly, sheep hasbandry and cat tle raising would have been given inspiration and impetus.

Eiditor Reeord:—The election of 1914 is a thing of the past, wheth er the war in Europe has anything to do with the low priee of cotton or the high priee of wheat, corn, eats, pork and beef or not, thesis are questions whieh time will solve regardlesa of what any of us may say or think. Frodueers and eon* Burners are vitally interested in prices regardless of who it ,helps or hurts; and they are not going to stop at considering prices ot food-produets and cotton and to bacco, but they have resolved to go a little turther^and consider the cost of government, county, state and national, and while they are considering the coBt, they purpose iu the future to keep a little closer watch ou their public servants and see that they faithfully discharge the dnties of their respective of fices in the interest of the people— the taxpayers. Davie conaty, for twenty odd'years of the time that the Republicans have held the of fices, had an economical adminis tration, but in the last few years a change has taken place and debt and high taxes are becoming com mon but very important questions for those who have to reach down in thair pockets each year to meet these lhcreased and increasing bur dens being placed upon us. Davie couBty is an agricultural county, and the burden ot taxation falls heavily upon the farmers and un less a halt is called the burdens will become so heavy that our peo ple will find it hard to meet .the demands of the taxgatherer. Wbat has brought about this sodden change in Davie county aBd who is responsible for itf There is no political campaign being waged at this time, and every thinkihgjmai: cau investigate for himself and reason put the whys and where fores of it Without political preju dice or bias, and there is no better time than right now to begin to unravel the skein and when the wrong Is found lets all unite to ap ply the remedy. In this articlq I purpose to give a few suggestions, or throw out a few pointers which will enable those "who are interest ed in reforming present conditions, to take an early start in the right direction, I hope. Itwas charged during the recent campaign that there was a Republican maehine in Davie county and it denied, and if it had been there was and has been ample evidence before and since the elec tion to prove the charge. There is net only a Republican machine io Davie county, but a Democratic machine, and it developed just before and since the election that the dual machine wags but one toil and it feeds upon the same diet, and it lives, breatheSand ex ists for a common purpose', towit: a division of the spoils. A few men dominate this machine—the principal headquarters are in Mocksville, but its trusted can be found in every township of the county, and its will is Iasr to all those who bow down and wer ship at the shrine of the mighty bosses. Now what are the people going to dol Are they going to lie still and not only be ruled but ruined in the interest of a few selfish persons who keep their eyes at ali times on the main chance, and whose highest conception of government is found in thedefinit ion given by Tallyrand, ‘ who said it consisted in the art or science of getting the greatest amount of feathers from the goose, with the Ieastamouat of squalling.” Mr. TaIlyrand uses the goose to repre-. sent the people and the feathers of the goose are the taxes, and if the people Of Davie, county are willing to lie Btill and have ^ the feathers plucked for the benefit of the crowd that are attempting to exploit th$m—they are a bigger lot of geese than I think they are. The goose began to squawk lsist yew, and the signs are good f<n* some moee squawking Ib 1916. Myad vice to the people is not to Only go to thinking but go to investigat ing and you will be surprised at the result. More later. ANON. Mocksville, N. C., Jan. 14. BARACA- PHILATHEA COLUMN.

There were approximately a million negro slaves working In the fields when liberated' by the emauclpi^lon proclamation. We have freed our slaves and our women have taken their placed In bondage. We have broken the' shackles off the negroes and welded them-upon our daughters- The CHaIthQang of Civilization, A million women In bondage in IE* southern fields form the chain-gang of civilisation—the industrial tragedy of the age...There is no overseer quite so cruel as that of unrestrained groed, no whip that stings like the lash of Bubomed destiny, and no auctioneer’s ,block quite so revolting as that of or ganized avarice. The president of the TTnited States was recently lauded by the mess, and very properly so, for suggesting medi ation between the engineers and rail road managers In adjusting their schedule of time and pay. The engi neers threatened to strike it their wages were not Increased from ap proximately ten to eleven dollars per day and service Teduced from ten to eight hours and a similar readjust ment of the overtime schedule. Our women are working In the field, many of them barefooted, for less than 55 cents per day,, and their schedule is the rising sup and the evening star, and after the day's' work is over they milk the cows, slop the hogs and rock the baby to sleep. Is anyone medlat- ' Ihg Over their problems, and to whom shall they threaten a strike? Congress has listened approving^1 to those who toll at the forge and be- hind the counter, and many of our statesmen have smiled at the threats and have fanned the flame of unrest among industrial laborers. But wom en are as surely the final victims of industrial warflare as they are .the burden-bearers.ln the war between na tions, and thhse who arbitrate and mediate the (differences between capi tal and labor! should not forget that when the expenses of any industry are unnecessarily/increased, society foots the bill by drafting a new consignment of women from the home to the field.

The women behind the counter and In the factory cry aloud for sympathy and the preen thunders out In their defense and', the pulpit pleads for mercy, but -how about the woman in the field? ! Will' not these powerful exponents of human rights turn their talent, energies and influence'to her relief?

What Is the final destiny, of a nation whose fu ture mothers spend their girlhood days behind ’ the plow, pitching hay and hauling manure, and what is to become of womanly culture and .refinement that grace the home, charm society and enthuse man to leap to glory in noble achievements if our daughters are raised ip the society of the ox and ,the companionship of the plow?

A War te Make War oa Tie War A Dnrbam carpenter, S o is* AgfitMt Business, mophs ago, asked an AllentovgsV Tte Manufactnrers Record quite vigorously preset: ts the prOposittou that “the only war we should have now is a war upon the war against business.” The Record Contends that “the Administration and the dominant party at Washington could lead the forces of the Nation into constructive upbuilding if they wOnld invite as advisers and co- laborers the most tar-seeing busi ness men of ever section and pledge to them and to the Nation at large the utmost power that is within them to resore prosperity and stop the ceaseless death dealing war upon business. If this should be done, it wonld have a tremendous infineace in changing for-the better the conditions now existing and in bringing the country back to that prosperity rnling before this 10- year war, under which every mao who wsntld employ ment could find it: a prosperity which was burden iug the railroads with freight and steadily increasing their earnings; which was causing every wheel in every factory of the land to be run at its Iullest speed; which was giving the farmers of the South, as well as oi the Vfest, an abounding prosperity' because of an ever- increasing demand for their pro ducts.” It is to this very end that Presi- dent. Wtiaofi has been directing bis determination and his efforts, and we believe the administration may tie depended upon to fulfull its promise that business shall have » rest. Bnt good can be done closer home. It should be the duty oi the Legislature of the various States to follow up the lead of Washington and make the break ing up of this War against business.

The-'prosence- of certain trusti near the tjirone disquieted. Mr. PineboL He coa&aot associate them, with the fine, new, rosy and virtuous purpose. What did their presence-'near the ttrtone mean? What did it foreshadow? : In grder to be. sure, Mr. Pindiot wrote to Mr. ItodsevelL putting the matter plainly. In replyhe recelved what nrast have affected him as a Te- buke.* Mr. Koosevelt did not Share In Mr.'Pinchot’siineaalnes8.

He attend ed the -Chicago convention of two years ago, where Mr. Roosevelt made his grandstand play, and this Is what Oovenior Hadley says on the subject: - "The country has never regarded the Progressive party as anything more than a division of the Republic an-party.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE ' - $100 SUC MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY. JAN. 27, 1915. WANTED—Some kind of street lights and a man to light them. Davie county has about 300 miles of good jpads now—good and bad Here’s hoping that they will never again get as bad as they are now. The Record favors abolishing the office of county treasurer and put ting the balance of the county offi cers on a salary. Such a law would mean the saving of at least $2,000 per year to the taxpayers of Davie county. Let your Representative kribffwhat you think about this. Of Course, the State-wide dog law. together with the pistol tax hill was reported unfavorable, as most of the Sehators and Representatives want to be elected again next year The reason Davie is going to get a dog law, our Representative doesn’t care for another term-^nd besides, the people of Davie are demanding a dog law. . '1I The Wilson administration is hypo ^critical, and it is trying to fool all the people who are not informed, by ealling that hundred million dollar revenue tax, a "war tax” while we are at peaee with all the world. If the administration was honest it would call this enormous tax, a “revenue tax” and tell the people that they had taken that much tax off the people of foreign countries and put it on the American people.' That’s exactly what they have done and the war bad Tiothing to do with it.—Ex< _______■ . Our Calahaln correspondent does n’t seem to favor- a. dog law, and talks like the people of his section do not favor putting a tax on the dogs. Theeditorhas asked every farmer With whom he has talked, from every township in the count!' and more than nine-tenths of them tell us that they favor a reasonable tax on dogs The only ones .who seem to be opposed to such a law are the wealthy class of farmers who do not have to raise sheep, chickens, etc., for a living. Wecan say for the benefit of our Calahaln writer, that, in our opinion Mr. Hendricks dost not want to go back to Raleigh two years hence, but should he give us a dog law. the great maiority of the peSple in The county would rise up and call him blessed and would ho doubt give him a better job than the one he now'has, should he want it. AN EARNEST APPEAL Manr of our subscribers do not seem to realize that it takes money every dayinthe year to run a pa per. For the past few months col lections have been very bad, and as • result The Record is in debt. Our creditors need what, we owe them, and we w*nt to settle our debts. Sixoraeveu huadred of our best subscribers have let their subscrip tions expire and have failed to re new. At the beginning of the year we drew off new subscription books and found on our eld books between 200 and 300 subscribers who were a year or more behind. Of course we had to leave their names off our new books with them owing us $1 or more. Amongthemwere some of Davie’s leading citizens; preachers, laymen,, farmers, professional men Were we to publish this list of hon est (?) eitizens names it would he a revelation, and would cause conster nation among those higher up. A few of this number paid us—about 30, if we mistake not, A niee letter waamailed to each one. But what w%.wanted to say, was that We need help, and need it now, We want at Iwbit 100 of pur subscribers whose ei%riptu(4»have expired, to send or bfing ufl $1 this week. Don’t ihijnk we mdan the other fellow—we miedn you,‘And we want you to' help us now. We are not aSking for charity, but what la honestly due us, If we were able, we would net iiiind waiting on yotf, Hll cotton was 15 eeats and wheat $2 per bushel, We need 100 of oa^friends to pay up and renew at ones.

Itmakesno difference where yen live, if pour subscription has expired we want you to renew and help us to keep The Record going. There is but one newspaper printed in this county, and it does seem that the people who believe in upbuilding the county, should give the paper their support We havebut one source of revenue, and that is The Reeord. Our expenses have to be paid out of the receipts, be they large or sirall Will you help us by renewing now? Boreao of Information. For thebenefitof our many readere in Davie and adjoining counties. The Record proposes to open up a bureau of information in connection with the paper.

Sanford, Jan. 19.—S. A. L. through passenger train No. 3, New York to Jacksonville, was derailed near Os good, a station six miles north of Sanford, at 7:39 tonight. The engine and one express car turned ever, two other express cars and one mail xear are off the track. Engineer Tom Stone is dead under his engine. Fire man Bob Hogan, negro, of Raleigh is seriously injured, to what extent is dot known. Exprerto Messenger D. H. Babcock had a hand cut and leg scraped. HisinjuriCs are not serious. No passengers are hiirt.- Strikers Shot by Dspoties. Roosevelt, N. J,.

To Leave Us Again. The Record learns that Mr, and Mrs. C. B. Leonard, who moved from Statesville to Route 2 some HmO ago, will move back to Statesville, this week. Mr. Leonard has just com* pleted a new store house two miles from Mocksviile, but we understand that he has rented the building to D. A Clement. We are sorry to lose these good people, but feel sure ,that when spring opens up they will Mirin return to Davie, for there is tie other county half so good, Mr. Leonard has purchased a store on Fourth street, in Statesville, and will ehgage in the merchantile business again. Tbe Acreage. “Seme of the best informed mem bers of Gongress from the cotton belt,” says The Wall Strqet Journil, “say there is little evidence of - re duction in acreage this yeif,"> It would be interesting .to have the names ef these “best informed mem bers.” The constituents usually see to iu Uiat tbe Southern Congressmen have so difficulty in keeping posted on whit is going on. at heme, and that the Cengressaen should not have been made aware ef the late diversion in rigging Ug the cotton fields and sowing them in wheat, thus already eetablisbiaff UMdectioa that cannot be recalled, sounds a little strange. Of Course, if the cot ton market shofild be high along a- h<wt planting time, the reduction not be so great as has been talked of, but it will be certainly less to the extent of the additional number of acres put in small grain—and this acreage is materiri.
