TBS HIGH COrtT OF U
(A OootrlbuUd KdUorlit!
Tfc« blgb oo»t of ilTlfig hai been apt
Ij lUiiMrateJ by tb« following story In
«bleb • ragged child aotorl a butchar’a
•bop and aaya, ‘'Ploate, •Ir.and I want
throe eentt worth of aauaage.” The
batcher poofceto the pennies and turn
ing to tl>4 child says, ’'Go and stnel
the aausage hook.”
are soaring In height until
they are ont of sight, and In many
beyond the roach of the average
parse. BtatistloisM who delight In
long columns of figures have told us
that wo pay more now than our fathers
did in war tlmea. The political parties
' In their dhalre for votes eagerly tell the
voters that they will surely reduce the
cost of living If they yote for their par
ty and candidates. Congress has from
time to time appointed wUe and learn
ed men on commissions to find ont
who Is responsible for the Increased
cost of living. The producer doesn’
get high prices for his farm products
although the consumer ha* to pay high
prlcea for them. Bo the blnrae la laid
on tba middleman who buys at a low
price from the producer and tells
the consumer. The firmer says that
he has to pay bis profits lu the railroad
and express companies and to the com
mlMlon merchants. The cattle raiser
•ays &aI he Is not getting anything
for hla beef, but the packing eompan
lea reap the harvest. Ho the story
goes, eaeh laying the blame on tbs
other, While the farmer get* nothing
out of tba wave of prosperity.
The high cost of living Is accounted
for by Increased production of gold
Mora gold was produced In 1911 than
was In clrculaMou in the whole world
In 1492, and for the past fifty years
thla baa been tbo case. From ihl* I
would appear that the more gold, tli
cheaper It would be to live. But mon
•y baa become cheaper while commitdl
ttea have remained stationary. Cut
two man on an Island with so much
monay for ooe and *o much provision
for tba etber, and prices will he the
same day after day. But let the man
with the money unexpectedly find
much gold as he had, and then he <
pay twice as much for the same amouo
of commodities. Money Is cheaper
but not oommodlliee. Every time the
farmer gets a dollar out of somebody
alae, then soma one geta about a dolls
and a half out of him.
A good part of the blame hat bean
laid at the door of tariff favored trusts
Formerly there was oowpeiltinn be.
tween the Jianufactorert, and tbo law
of supply and demand controlled
prions. But now the manufacturers
have combined and altber by a contract
or gentleman's agreement decide that
they will get a certain price for their
output, whether It le worth it or not
It la a well known fact that the manu
facturer will pay the expense of menu
featuring and freight shipment* to Kn
rope and sell his products there for i
cheeper price than In America. The
difference he pule Into his pocket on all
borne »a>e AI moot everything uaed
except what he ral»es at home, he
must buy from the trusts
But a still greater reason for the
high coat of living Is found In our in
creased desires, for it lakes more to
eatlefy ua than formerly. When the
butober Is asked why tbs price of beef
areak baa gone up, be will tell you that
everybody wants beefsteak and nobody
wants tba cheaper cute. The let* de
sirable cute are left on his hands. Our
mothers managed to produce very
tempting dishea from her garden, but
now the garden has given plsee to the
paper sack from the nearest grocery
and we prefer to patronise the output
of the cannery to our own garden
spot.
In our boyhood days It wss noihlug
uncommon to see honest, respected cit-
Isens clothed In homespun which had
never paid a cent to the tariff baron#
The raw cotton, the spinning, weaving
and making was all dona at home.
They were as comfortable in winter
and summer as we are, but we are not
•atletled to wear homespun ourselves.
Some real works of art were produced
by our grandmothers In their counter
panes and quilts, and every bride pro
vided her-chest of bed linen. But
their children prefer the output of
bought bed covering.
In the old days the shoemaker came
to eacb family in the fall and spring to
provide the family with shoes which
ranged all the way from the calfskin
booj» for the dandy to tke-*eft sheep-
skio slippers for tbe grandmothers.
But tbelr children prefer to spend
money for the shtay patent leather
products of the shoe trust. In the
days when the handiwork of the cabi
net maker turned out eubstautial and
simple furniture for tbe home our
fathers enjoyed life In the use of their
products. But tbelr children cannot
set up housekeeping nntil they hare
contributed liberally to the coffers of
the furniture trust. Nobedy denies
that gingham is at comfortable as silk,
* but we don’t want tbe gingham, we
, prefer the allk. A silver watch is a«
good a time piece n the gold watch,
hut we don't want the silver watch any
r more.
To stole tbe question a little differ-
-eutlj and In line with a recent work of
Action, we are trying to keep up with
neighbors. When one man in
buys an antomobllo, then other
i^fhel that they meat have one, too,
np with him. When a mother
glvee her daughter a diamond Mag,
the ether young iegtee lu her set are
set eallsAed ealfl they are elmllarly
adorned. When one young lady ferls
that her taooma will Justify a tailor-
made oval suit, the ether young ladles
In tbe congregation stay away from
ehurch uatll they era similarly dratted.
When one man In bla prosperity de
cides that be la able to build a naw
home, then other members of hit fam
ily tel before them aa their goal of Ufa
a mansion just as costly and equipped
with all the eborenlenoet of the mod
ern home. But just so long as you de
clare that your boy mutt keep up with
other boys, and your girls keep abreast
of other girls, your ..wife or husband
keep step In the luxuries of life, U It
not much use to lay the blame for tbe
high coat of Hying on the tariff or the
trusts. It is due to your enlarged de
sires.
One day I overhead a dapper clerk
receive a well merited rebuke from a
prosperous mountaineer who was clad
In jeans and hoeing potatoes. The
clerk Judged the farmer by his appnr
ances and said, ‘ You mutt find it
pretty hard to makes Hying up here?”
"No,” said the farmer, "we uns alnt
like tarryplns We don’t put all we
make on our backs.”
When our people learn to live at
home they will realise that ‘ content
ment with godliness t» great gain ”
The numerous circulars from Jack
sonville, FIs , liquor houses now flood
ing the mails bring to mind tbe talk of
one travelling man to apother in Barn
well last Hummer. He seemed to be
telling straight facts, and hit employ
ment csrtainly gave him the oppor
tunity to know. He said In substance:
"Thera are 170 mall order liquor houses
In Jacksonville, all on the river, and a
pipe runs from each one of (hem Into
the river. They send out a soli,I train
of express cars every morning, which
goes solid to .Savannah, where it is di
vided out for Georgia and South Caro
lina towns. They could get rich on
their goods If sold at a dollar and a
half a gallon, and pay the government
tax of a dollar and twedve cents out of
that. The liquor making business In
tbe United States bat been absorbed
by foreigners, who don't wind poison
ing good Americans. In my coun ty
in North Carolina we had a dispensary
managed by s good, honest man. At
the end of the first year the directors
had all the ll,|uor* analyzed. Only
one brand wa* found pure. That was
a home fnade corn wblakey. 1 have
been drinking whiskey &> years and
have swallowed enough to float a ship
but I have managed to hold a fairly
pweGh>fl. ,, Then he took hit de
parture.
Wilson Stands For a Principle
Will You Stand By Him?
Woodrow Wilson is a vastly different order of nun than you find among the ranks of many good men in
practical political life.
Woodrow Wilson is not among the great majority of politicians and business men, otherwise estimable
characters, who befteve that the end justifies the means, who are honest in a commercial or political sense.
The candidate of the progressive voters of the country not only does not believe in the doctrine of
"anything to win,” but he insist* on plain old fashioned honesty in every detail of his campaign.
Woodrow Wilson proposes to win on the merits of his candidacy and platform or not at all.
"Clean hands or no fight” is Wilson’s ultimatum to his supporters throughout the country.
No Tainted Money For Wilson
Not a dollar of questionable money will be spent to elect Woodrow Wilson.
The Democratic National Committee is heart and soul in accord with the candidate’ s views.
And the corrupting influences, with no political faith, casting about to win a foothold in the new govern
ment with bribes of ill-gotten gains, have despaired of reaching Wilson or his campaigners.
They have gone to the enemy, whoever that enemy may be. It is a matter of common knowledge that
the "Interests” are using all their political funds to defeat Wilson.
This makes it your fight.
What the American People Need to Know
The people have conitandy made the misuke of believing that this is a money-ridden nation.
Such is only the case insofar as the People fail to get together and so permit the few to control the dishonest
representatives they, by mistake, elect to office.
The actual money power of the People is still greater than that of the Interests.
The Progressive People of the country, if they get together, can buy and sell the Corrupting Influences
and destroy their financial power.
So Woodrow Wilson and his managers believe that not only is it the only clean method but the most
practical method for the Progressive People of the country to supply the Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund.
The People to Fight With THEIR Dollars
This year a popular president is to be elected with the People’s money.
The Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund is to be collected from the rank and file of the Progressive Voters
of the country.
The bills of the Democratic National Committee are to be paid, not with the thousands of the Interests,
but with the individual dollars of the earnest, eager voters who desire clean, efficient government and who are
willing to help Wilson as he wants to be helped.
Money thus needed is not spent in improper ways or in any manner similar to the way m which the funds of the
Interests are disbursed*
But ve have to 1*11 the voters of the country about Woodrow Wilson. We have to tell them what he has dune.
We have to tell them what he stands for. We have to point out to them the important planks in his platform. All this
means that to bold up our end we will be obliged to spend as much money as those who oppose us.
This pneans that every man or woman who believes in Wilson should be willing to contribute to his cause.
Let the supporters of Wilson help us to spread the Wilson gospel to tbe four winds.
Let the Progressive Voters battle this year with their pocketbooks as well as their ballots.

The only mention of the txdl weevil
that we have seen in quite awhile w^s
contained In a State exchange copied
Trom the Atlanta Constitution. A
farmer living 17 miles from the Gate
'ity had carried to Atlanta a specimen
and informed the Constitution that
there were a few in the cotton fields of
himself and a neighbor. As the farm,
er had never seen a boll weevil his find
may have been a different sort of bug.
If he was right the enemy i* lens than

There will be no strike on the 14
esdiog Southern roads as was threat
ened. The controversy was submitted
to arbitration and a ten yer cent In-
•reake In pay was agreed to. The em
ployes luteresced number 13,000, three
thousand of the number being negroes.
The cost to the railroad of the new
wage scale will be Sl.JoO.OOO annually.
Conductors, engineers and train hands
get the better pay. Track hands and
yard men get the olJ pay rates.
TENDERING TOUGH BEEF.
A Barnwell housekeeper, noted for
the excellence of the meats served on
her table, described her methods to an
Inquiring guest, who sometimes had
tough steaks, stews and roasts at
home:
“Be sure that the utensil In which
the meat Is to be cooked Is good cold
If not cold, make It so by dipping It In
a vessel of fiyjsb, conf water. Then
place th* meat! In site frying pan, skil
let or oven with tome grease, lard, but
ter or oil, put tbe veaael on the stove
pat the cover on and let it alone. It
will cook delightfully. If meat is
placed in a hot pan or oven tbe outside
Is cooked into a hard cruat and the beat
uannot have a softening effect oo the
Interior of the steak oi roast. In stew
ing or boiling beef put It In oold water,
set on tba stove, cover and let It
alone.”
