THE ELECTION AS IT AFFIX'S PRESIDENT WILSON. * • The action of the people on Tuesday shows how completely the Pres- ident misinterpreted the public will, how grossly he was misled by his in- formants as to political affairs. * The people respect the President, out they reject his policies. The Empire State has defeated mcsn whom he supported, and whose election was asked for as a vindication of his administration. Pennsyl- vania, the- keystone of industry, has overwhelmingly rejected his low-tariff scheme, and turned out of office all his followers in that State. New Jer- sey, h,is own State, has substituted Requblicar^ /for Democrats• in the House, as a protest against the agitation, business depression and hard- ship of the last two years. New England, a beehive of activity in normal times, has registered its protest against policies which closed factories and put men oat of work. The middle West, has sent old-line Republicans to Congress who are stout advocates of protection to American industries. b'ew more serious reverses have been recorded in American politico tr.ai the reverse experienced by the President in 1914. The President disregarded the fact that he had been ejected because ot a split in the Republican party; that a majority of the voters favor- ed protection and voted for his opponents, and that his election cculd not pos&ihly be construed into a mandnte by a majority of the people for free trade. In spite of his failure to receive Inis mandate, the President proceed- ed to put into execution a policy of radical downward tariff revision and a policy calculated to tear down the legitimate business activities of the country. The result was widespread depression in times of fat harvests, I a. depleted Treasury, business stagnation, and finally an extra tax of 0100,000,000 to tide over the government., although the country was at peace with aU the wovld. ? The President was misled by poor advisers and politicians posing as: j his friends. They not only gave him false information, but induced him I to throw his own personal popularity imo the scale, in the hope that they [ j could pull through, »ot on their own merits, but on his prestige. It was not fair to him, nor did it prove of v«;)uc to them. The letters written by I . j t-fce President placed him in an awkward position of asking approval of i the administration by electing men whe were not at all approved by the ! people. The outcome Is a humiliation- an impairment of ihe prestige of tbe Presidency. i On October 18 The Po:«i pointed out Mie selfishness of some of the per- i sor.s who did not .shrink from Irvins1 :«» vse the President for their own interests* The Post said1 . “Of course ihese demagogues arc speaking fur themselves. Ii is not the President’.1 ; welfare thai concern* them—it is their own. They find in'him political strength and vesoui They wish Vo draw upon it. ii’ ho will get’into the much of politics arm prostitute his position, he can save them. So they hold before him the 'w .sides i»f the shield ■ •••un o n e su k i, vindication ard victory, popular applause and a now learv* of power ii he wiii only lend a helping hand to demagogues; on ihe other side, popu !ar disapproval, party reverses, lo>s prestige, and a gloomy prospect for “The Presidency was not created ‘nr ihe purpose of peddling out its influences and prestige in exchange for the doubtful .support of selfish poi- itv.’ians. The President is the leader of the Democratic parly, it is true. He wishes it tu remain in control of national affairs. Bsit his generalship docs not extend to the waging cf questionable campaigns in local districts *-where loot is the prize sought for, i v.\ 'ad of honorable party service, for 1 ihe public welfare. Veteran observers of political adaiis agreed with The Post ih;it the j President acted unwisely in yielding o the importunities of self-seeking j politicians, und thereby lowering the t<me of the great office he holds; j bu\ the counsel of indiscretion prevailed, and many letters were written. 1 It might be well if the President w<«ild m ake list of the persons who ^misled him by flattery and falseirifornati.on regarding public opinion; °who wheedled him into indorsing unworthy candidates; who induced him ia * risk his own popularity as an issue in the campaign. These very persons, s nov^that they have used the President, are now proclaiming that Tuesday’s I 'election is a direct rehuke to the administration, and a command that ; destructive policies shall be abandoned They see the handwriting on the wah and do not hesitate to desert the leader they misled and misused. : All patriotic American* deplore any action tending to lower the dig- nity of the Presidency. They Uge to regard the President, whoever he ma? be as the President of all the pe ople. They expect him to guard jealously hi* influence which he derives from them and not permit it to he us;d by unscrupulous camp followers nnd “intimate friends/5 We re- gret that the good advice tendered to the President last month was ignor- ed. If heeded, the returns of Tuesday, while they might have been disap- pointing, would not have carried with them a sting of humiliation, and a sharp reminder as to the proprieties which the public insist shculd be ob- served in the Presidency,—Washington Post. Business Will Improve. The result of the election Tuesday will cause all lines of business to im- prove within a -very'short time. Con - fidence which took wings upon the election of President Wilson and the Democratic party i<> power, will re- turn, and everybody can loosen up the purse strings, and begin to make their fall purchases, the business ele- ment of the country now feel that reason has returned to the voters and that the- future will be safe for furth - er investments. Money will loosen up aJ! along the line, and trade will be brisker, bigger, and better than for many days past, get ready it’?, com- ing. SUCH GALL.

It should have told its readers, that in order to tri- umph it was necessary to vote men whose name did not even appear up- on the registration book.-^. That it was necessary to vote men who reside j with their family at Spencer, N\ C.r j and who has not been residents of J th;.- county for the hurt six months, I that it was necessary to vote men BttOADEK INQUIRY FOR INVEST- MENT IS NOTED.

Election Result Plated to Credit of European War by Champ Clark. . Bowling. Green, M*>., Nov.. 4.—-To- Gui; Champ Clark, speaker of the na- tional House of Representatives, com- rae».ting on the Republican victories in a majority of the States in which elect tohs were held yesterday, said Ihe vote was not a rebuke to tho Wil- son Administration, but just one more thing that could happen during these cray- of European war. Editor’s Note: You will note they art blaming everything upon the war, they even blame the result of the election upon the war. SCOOPING THE NEWS.

Means Higher prices and greater demand for grains. The price of wheat hss increased 35 cents, orn 20 cents per bushel.

You can't do better than ta hook up to a good grain farm. If we were in the farming business wa would grab this one, but since it is oar business to sell ’em, we must let her go.

One twenty acre field produced 500 bushels wheat this year. Another field produced 541 bushel cats There will be 500 bushels of corn with proper season.

The farm is divided into fields with barb wire and Am­erican field fence about three miles of fence in all.

Field No. 2__ 17 acres.“ “ 2__ 22 acres.

3----40 acres In original oak timber and isused for hog pasture.

“ 4__ 27 acres.JHus farm contains 12ff acres. It has a large barn 30

by 50 ft., a tool shed, crib, milk house and three room house Ever flowing stream through the centre of the farm. In gooc* neighborhood, only one half mile from Friendship, a good state high school, seven and half miles Southwest of Burlington.

We will sell this farm on EASY TERMS, for less than $30.00 per acre.

An inspection will convince you of the merits of this preposition. Let at thow yoe.
