The number who contributed to the Republican fund was and to the Democratic, In other words the number of contributors to the Democratic fund was six times greater, and their contributions amounted to a million dollars less. The contributors to the Republican fund, us a rule, were interested In legislation, the money coming from such men as J. Morgan, Charles P. Taft, Andrew Carnegie, Charles at John Jacob Astor and the heads of the various woolen mills who desired the passage of the law, with do- nations from the Wall street banks, railroad magnates, and individuals, representing the tariff trusts.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY it. 1911. ADVERTISING. Ha, The subject of advertising would seem to be one as to hardly claim the space we are devoting U it to- day. Yet, when the majority of large newspapers give prominent space to Mr. Freeman's we feel Justified in using some our to talk to our merchants. Mr. Freeman, by the way. is the expert of tho New York Even- Mail. Advertising has always been, and more so now, not a doubtful in- vestment and of but a productive investment and a saving of time, as by means of advertising the merchant talks every day to as many people a the paper In which they advertise has in its circulation list The value of the advertising is m direct proportion to the value of the paper as a communicant of the current new. And the is just as well aware of the value of a good newspaper, both as far as the merchant and subscribers are concerned, as the reader and ad- themselves are. For this simple reason, and this reason alone I sufficient, the publisher tries his best at all time to bis paper valuable to both parties interested. To what extent do go-ahead mer- chants rely on advertising can be properly ascertained any time we happen to go to our local post-office. Something Is wrong if we do not see scattered over the floor and on the writing table a profusion of sad advertising matter which the merchants have sent out broadcast to tell the people what they to offer. And these circulars sad advertising matter we And do not tall the story completely. What we see is only a part of It. The rest we have to deduct. We are not very tar wrong in saying that for every tea circular that are behind, one has been carried away by party. That tea per cent of circulars road.

It must be mighty gratifying to wake up some fine morning and find oneself famous. The Intoxication of self-respect and appreciation must be Immense. And right here is where the little party called makes Its bow and claims the figuratively speaking person and hurries him to the deepest recesses of despair and sorrow. It is said that the majority of poor mortals are not equal to the when Dame Fortune take them by the hand and leads them on should we say. eggs to the enchanted palace of their dreams. Or in the words of the popular proverb could not stand And what a world of meaning is embodied in that simple, inoffensive little phrase. We go on our of cards and without looking around for an example that will tell us exactly when it will wise to put the very last card, we can see the whole thing take a turn down- ward and we again say hopes were Not so long ago Rev. R. L. Davis woke up in the capital of the state to find that he was famous. His name was In every mouth. Typesetters could spell it backward, forward and The surprise he sprung at the dormant Raleigh citizens is re- cent history. But alas more recent still is the Charlotte episode with the accompanying pints of good gotten without the slightest difficulty by a gentleman of the variety. The social earthquake felt In good Charlotte did not lack the Law En- League and meetings which followed closely In the Capital City. In fact Charlotte tried to go one bet- and the secretary of the Anti- Saloon League was Of course this s matter of form. Wt all rejoiced at the prospect of having a few more hardworking solving satisfactorily. Not so many year ago the place of women in public life was some- thing unknown, except tor some lated cases, which because of their rarity, did not receive all the credit really due them. Today the import- of women helping In the of problems and difficulties of day life is Illustrated by such facts as furnished by women being called upon to act in the capacity of experts. Witness the request by President Roosevelt to Miss Helen Boswell to go to the Panama Canal Zone and study condition there, that her suggestion might help the government in bettering conditions, both social and hygienic. In the fight for pure food women again took an active part and were an important asset in having such a valuable meas- put through. In fact whenever any important innovation to be made, women are consulted and their advice bears weight in the resolution made. So far women's clubs have had to bear the burden of expenses attached to such a movement. And while It is true that the Federated Women's Clubs of America have a membership of the due per capita arc most nominal, cents be- all they have to pay. The sum collected in that manner Is too small to carry on the work and two years ago increasing the dues was discuss- ed. This step was found undesirable as the aim of the clubs was to enroll member Irrespective of their means and while some would not have mind- ed Increase, it might have proved ed.

If the newspapers mostly express the sentiment of the people we can't go wrong in saying that Woodrow is close to the hearts of the people of the Old North State. If we doubted It for a few weeks past, we no longer speculate on the matter, for yesterday North Carolina's leading daily came out with certain statement that eliminate The forceful words in which a Tar Heel editor expressed himself in the national capital must be gratifying to the New Jersey governor. is pinning its faith in a and alas the winner referred to is not Underwood by mean. And we are far from being the trend North Carolina taking in the coming presidential race. To begin with. Wilson is a Southerner, who has greatly distinguished himself In one of the great northern states. Distinguished himself to the degree of being elected chief executive of that great state. The dignified stand be took in the highly speak of the thoroughly gen- politician and In the lines ha put the German la- of letter ha won for himself he stands today. In great deal of attention, since if w still have to march country, like other industrious coon- the post office every train time, tries, depends entirely upon labor. It is to be sincerely deplored that labor leader should have forsaken other means of getting to their ob- and chosen the shorter, but far more dangerous route of the mite And on account of this Infringement upon anarchistic labor unions will have a severe set back. Labor leader have gone ahead too far on their and have unfortunately forgotten who they rep- resented. Secret funds and secret committees that dangerously nihilistic method have been in operation and the result will be a general discredit and shame for all well meaning labor unions. If labor Is to accomplish anything in regards to bettering conditions for the labor- such means must be from the plans. And especially as we are furnished a great example of what labor unions hare accomplished in other countries where the laborer is not credited with as much freedom as is the American laborer. To what extent have the German laborers asserted themselves in Ger- many And please remember Ger- many is, or rather up to recently was, almost autocratic. Good work, along a place high among the highest This I th man that according to the leading paper of North the people of this state are pinning their faith to. And without pointing to any feather In our cap we agree, that as things politically stand today, it Is the best pick that could be made by Southerner. Of the other candidates trying to win a seat in the presidential chair we had rather not say anything about, although this would not be fair to the choice of the Southern people. A far as Underwood is concerned, fear, have been entertained of would since hi. name was boomed for the at or candidacy, that he I only the Matt. accord among position to successfully oppose the Kaiser. And we feel sure that the German laborer will not abuse the power which such good work has given him. Of course, in this country, the babe- lie mix-up of races account for the exceeding difficulty met in labor and as long as the foreign element keeps coming into the try by the thousand load It will still remain a hard problem to solve. Witness the upheaval in Lawrence, Mass., where something like and dialects are spoken by a few thousand workers and their horse for Harmon, and whether this be true or not, he is bound to re-1 to point out to a general la the growing city, Presto the detective, is spirited away.
