NOVEMBER 14,1912. | While it is of course unfortunate that differences of opinion have arisen among Democratic congressman as to the wisdom of the President calling an extra session of Congress to meet within a few weeks after the adjournment of the regular session on March 4 next, nothing resembling a serious breach in the party is anticipated as a result of the conflicting opinions on the subject. As the average man views the situation, President Wilson will do the right thing to call the proposed extra session as soon as practicable after he is inaugurated. The country is groaning under the burdens of the high cost of living and if it is possible to afford relief by a general reduction of the tariff, it is the plain duty of the Democratic party to go to work to that end as soon as possiDie. wuc may attribute the Democratic landslide of the recent election to what he will, but the fact is after all that the main issue upon which the contest hinged was th$ tariff, and if the present tariff law is not responsible for the high eost of living, then two and two are six. In the North and West, where the election was decided, the masses pinned p their faith to the Democracy because it promised to enact tariff legislation favorable to the pockets of the people. The Democratic party is morally bound to . ? reduce the tariff schedules of the Payne-Aldrich law and it is in the interest of both the people and the party that it be done without delay. This fall the Canadian Pacific Railway is sending to the various stations along its line one millior flower bulbs besides a large amount of seeds. These are tc be planted in the grounds arounc stations and the houses of sectior foremen, and with the bulbs, plants and flowers already plant ed there will be millions of flowers next spring beautifying the premises of the company and gladdening the eyes of the public. In addition to the bulbs and other things supplied the company gives a large number oi prizes for the best gardens, the value running all the way from five dollars to twenty-five dollars. The company states in s public letter that the beauty spots at its station are not only f pleasing to the eye, but that the influence upon the station agents and section men is most salutary. It asserts that it leads them tc have cleaner stations and platforms and to dress more neatly. Doubtless similar results are noted by those wideawake lines in/bur country that make provision to have their stations present an attractive appearance. It is a wonder that there is an) line that neglects so sensible ? plan, especially when it is considered that the results are sc great for the small cost it imposes. Yet it is a fact that then are railroads that seem to delight not only in refusing to do it, but w ho seem to take a sort of un hallowed satisfaction in having their station premises dirty anc unattractive to the great discomfort of their patrons. The presidential campaign just ended was unusual in man) respects, and its closing days brought a deep tinge of sadnesj by reason of the death of Vice President Sherman. Mr. Sher man as a politician had man) opponents, especially in latei vears as he retained his old po litical beliefs during all thai period of transition which lec many of his former colleague* to embrace views so differenl from those he so tenaciouslj held. But as a man Mr. Sherman had hosts of friends anc among the most prominent anc steadfast were many who conscientiously differed from hinr politically. His genial disposi* tion, sterling private and business character, his charming home life, and his superiority tc f rancor combined to earn for hirr gtt the sobriquet of "Sunny Jim,' which he was popularly knowr during the campaign of 1908. Those cordial personal relations he held with so many, both within and without his party, were s conspicuous proof that political differences and private friendship may consistently exist together. And it is a noteworthy fact that many ^ho gave and took many lusty blows with him in the political arena mourn his departure as sincerely as those who were always his political allies. There is much speculation as to the future of Colonel Roosevelt and his Progressive party. The New York World says if t! e new party is to live, it will have to decide pretty soon whether it is going to be Republican or anti-Republican. In some States it is Republican by name. In all States it is so in principle. Circumstances made it comparative ly easy this year to have two ably led and well-financed Republican parries in the field, but the conditions of 1912 are not likely soon to return. Two protective-tariff. trust and monopoly parties are at least one too many, and it will not take the practical men who have been made rich by protection and privilege very j i.L. long to discover me iacu The Newberry Herald and News very sensibly observes that a matter which were better left out of the newspapers is the effort which young Ben Tillman is making to regain possession of his two little girls who were given into the custody of their mother by a decree of the Supreme Court three years ago. But it is a matter of news because it is a matter in which the people are interested. Sometimes it is hard to recognize the line of demarcation between what ought to be printed and what ought not, keeping in mind a newspaper's duty to the public, to the conventions of society, and < to itself and its editor. Too many people are nothing but negations. If they are not guilty of positively bad habits they are equally free of good habits. They exist not live, vegetate and not grow. The community is neither better or worse for their presence. They are simply nonentities whose whole existence can be chronicled by two dates -that of their birth and that of their death. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. 11 If the governments of countries were as Christian in their | . international relations as are the citizens of tljp6e countries there would be far less talk of war and far less money spent for guns, : forts and ships. > Just as a mill grinds whatever is put into it and separates the ' good from the worthless so the ' sensible man will retain in his i mind only that which is of value, discarding that which is inferior. No man can reasonably expect ' others to respect him more highI ly than he respects himself. The opinion of others will ultimately I rise or fall to the level upon . which he himself stands.

VVhpn the DroDosed parcels post regulations become effective next year there are three features it will be well for patrons r to know thoroughly and never to forget: t First, distinctive parcel post 1 stamps must be used on all fourth5 class mail matter after January t 1. Such matter bearing the r ordinary postage stamps will be treated as "held for postage." I All parcels will be maihble only at postoffices, branch postoffices, lettered and local named " stations and at such numbered 1 stations as may be designated by the postmaster. All parcels must bear the re; turn card of the sender?other) wise they will not be accepted , for mailing. I i Saves Leg of Boy.

Senator B. R. Tillman, whom I visited at his home at Trenton last week looks very well and hardy, and is taking a great deal of interest in his farming operations. It was on last Monday that I went to Trenton and was met at the station by Mr. Moore, a sonin-law of Senator Tillman from Atlantic City, who drove me to the Senator's home about a third of a mile from the station. When I anived at Senator Tillman's residence I found him working among the flowers, and looking unusually well and happy. In the afternoon while we were talking he showed me a scrap book in which he had pasted many cartoons and newspaper clippings from ail over the world about himself, and some of the cartoons were, so ridiculous that we had quite a laugh over them. Among other things in the scrap book, he showed me a letter I had written him over 19 years ago when I was county chairman of Reform movement in Union, and manager of his campaign here. Another letter was one from the late William v L-i? *? tU A. IMCnUlSUU, l ui wiiujii wuv. senator had quite a high regard. In the parlor of the Tillman home is what the Senator refers to as his original pitchfork, which was presented him some years ago by his admirers in the West. This pitchfork is silver mounted, and on the tines are ribbons of the national colorsred, white and blue. Senator Tillman who has always been engaged in farming, is now taking great interest in it, and seemingly is making a specialty of raising asparagus. Last year he made clear over all expenses $200.00 on an acre, shipping the asparagus to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other northern cities, where it commands a good price. Just now Senator Tillman is quite interested in growinghedge which is "pigproof," and which will do away with wire fencing. From what he has been able to do so far, he is very much pleased with the experiment, and believes it is entirely practicable. /v.- w?_i VUI lie A i i imwui.

Elected governor of New Jersey on the Democratic ticket, 1911. Elected President of the United States, November 5, 1912. Woodrow Wilson will be the first Democrat to occupy the White House since Cleveland. Cleveland was the first since Buchanan (1857.) Wilson is the first southern-born Democrat to occupy the president's chair since James K. Polk, who was born inPineville, N. C., Nov. 2, 1795. Zachariah Taylor, who followlowed Polk was a southerner, a native of Orange Court House, Va., but he was not a Democrat. He was a whig. Buchanan was a Democrat but not a southerner. Andrew Johnson was a native of Raleigh, N. C., but was not a Democrat. Wilson, therefore, is the first | to carry Southern Democracy back to the White House since James K. Polk, the man Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, gave to the presidency. / I h ' DW WILSON. (Advertisement.) Saved by His wife.
