Raleigh welcomes all its visitors this day. NORTH CAROLINA AND RALEIGH. 4 This day is one of hope for the Htate, for it is tha earnest desire of those who have investigated .the plan of the Farm Land Loan Baak law that one of the twelve banks bo located In North Caro lina. Aa the question of the location of the banks is considered, tha more and more it becomes avideat that the needs of the farmers of a great Section of the country will be best served by the location of one of the banks in this Htate. The Federal Farm laud Loaa Board in the course or its investigations or conditions so as to determine upon the proper division of the States into farm land loan districts will bo la Raleigh today. Tba puryoes of tho board la to leara at first hands of ths conditions of the farmers, aad of ths need for loans under ths provisions of ths farm land loan law. When the Htafes are divided into distrirts then there will come the question of fhe cities in which the banks will be located. It woilld erem, after a study of coa ditions, and of the rural . population of the country, that one farm land loan district would bo composed of the Htatei of Virginia, North Carolina aadouth Carolina, with poailly Delaware Maryland in thai earns district. If ths three Mates, or tha five States, are put in the same district, then logically oae of the banks should be placed in North Carolina, both because of ths geograph ii-al arraagrment of the Uteres, aad be cause f the rural population af feeted. If North Carolina is determined upon as the rAtate ia which one of tho banks is to be located, then naturally Ra leigh becomes the place to be made the borne of tba baak. The real relation of this eity to the territory which we hope to see included in one of tho farm land loaa distrirts is such as to make it tbe ideal place for one of the banks, and we believe that this will bs clearly demonstrated when the - Farm Land Loaa Board meets here today, The value of the farm land loan banks J-to--ths farmers of this country has- aot been overestimated by those who have made statements concerning them. Thev 811 the place long vacant ia our fin an eial and agricultural life, tbo passage of ths law establishing the erst em be ing oae of the very greatest achieve menta of ths Democratic administration, aa achievement which is going to give to the fanners increased opportunities ia life. The law marks tha beginning of a aew day for ths farmers of the! land, and beeanoe of It wo expect to aee a aew order of things ia our agricul tural life. It U oar hops that the board which meets hero today will decide that for ths best interests of tho farmers oae of tho banks should bo located in North Caroliaa aad la Raleigh, North Caroliaa.

As the Richmond Times Dispatch well pots the matter: ,-: Therefore. Mr. Bryan's warm ad vocacy of the Wileoa cause is con vincing proof of his belief in the justice aad inherent rightnees of that cause. No soggrstiou of future benefits or party favors, such aa at taches to Rooeevelt's support of Hughes, could be entertained ia connection with his indorsement of Wilsoa and the administration's pol icies. He is supporting Wilson be cause be hnowa what be has done aad because he baa faith in what he will do. And the thousands of voters who look to him fe)r guid-' a axe wilt be fortified ia their owa faith in tbe President by his ring ing Approval of his course. In Johnstown the other day, af ter enumerating eleven great pieces of legislation which he credited to Wilson, Mr. Bryaa said: "If ths President never did anything ' else right, ho wss right when he re- f lined fo put this government lie hind government of aaaassinatioa and despotism in Central and Houth America." He meant, of course, the refusal of the President to recog nize tho murderous Huerta. Kvea more forcefully was this view put by Oeorge Miller, an authority oa Mexico, in The Times Dispatch, yes terday, when he said that whether Mexico in to rise and stand and take her place among tho nations . of the earth depends very largely oa tha re-elertioa of President Wilson . Mr. Bryan realizes the truth of that, and it ia in accord with his lifelong, advocacy of the cause of the poor and the weak that he urges too re election of tho man who aow stands between ths suffering, and downtrodden people of Mexico aad and I hose who would exploit them and their eonntry for their owa gain. Ha realises, toe, as he said in Johnstown, that the President's policies have made prsce with all the world as secure u diplomacy could effect that security. For these reasons William Jen nings Bryaa is appealing to the country to support WoodrowWitr son. And it is not to he doubted that he will contribute to that po litical landslide which now seems to be in tho making. MOTE IT lP.

In a cum puigrt speech here today Secretary of the Navy Jueepbua Daniels defended the Mexican policy of the President, de claring that before partisan politics made the stsmtjiatters hunt for an issue no thoughtful 'rnan criticized Mr. Wil son's dealings with the southern re public. Secretary Daniels said in part: "Let me read you the wisest utter ance that any man has made regarding our attitude toward Mexico. It is not long and it is fundamentally right. This policy was enunciated by a great Presi dent through his Secretary of Stata in the following words that breathe Vie true American spirit: 'For a few years past the condition of Mexico haa been so unsettled as to raise th question on both sides 'of th. Atlantic whether tbe tin has not come when some foreign power ought, in ths interest of society generally, to inter vene to establish a protectorate some form of government ia that eoun try and guarantee its continuance there. i ou will aot fail to assure the govern ment of Mexico that the President neither has, nor can ever have, any sym pathy with such designs, in whatever quarter they may arise or whatever character they may take on. The Presi dent never for a moment doubts that the republican system is to pass safely through all ordeals and provs a per manent success in our own country, an so be recommended to adoption by nil other nations: But be thinks also that the system everywhere has to maks its painfully through diflirultios and embarrassments which result from th actioa of antagonistic elements which are a lesacv f former times and very different institutions. Tho President is hopeful of the ultimate triumph of this system over all obstacles as well in tt gard to Mexico as in regard to every other American Htate; but he feels that those States are aeverttielcss justly en titled to a greater forbearance aad mors generous sympathies from the govern ment nnd people of the I nlteu States than they are likely to receive in nny other quarter.' "No, it was not woodrow Wilson who wrote those living words. It is natural to suppose n. was ineir autnor. ion ditions would Indicate that they were uttered last moath, and ths language and the sentiment recall Wilson at his best. But as ft matter of fact - they were the words of Abraham Lincoln who -lived through unsettled conditions In Mexico which are not ualike those thratigli which this generation i. passing. "Before, partisaa polities made the stand r-utters hunt for aa issue, ho thoughtful or wise ma a criticized Wil sens Mexican policy. Former vieo- Preeident Fsirbanks, in a speech to In liaca editors in U13, declared ho 'had n doubt that tbe disturbances In Mex l.i during the last few years bars been du, in a greater or lees degree, to an effort on the part of ambitious, cunning mtn to fore, intervention.' Thnt the truth then. If true then, later events havs more than proved its) truth fulness. Mr. Fairbanks added: - 'Presidsat Wilson to dealing with it (the situation a. beet be caa. We may not entirely agree that hi coarse is better than that of his distinguished predecessor, nsvertneless ws should ea deavor to uphold his hands. There should be no differs ace of opinion as to that. By doing bo ws aha!! make his task a comparatively easy oae. -It to not an hour for cither liitle politic or sensational 'journalism.

'I have liecn feeling very unhappy,' he said, 'during the last few days over our affairs in Mexico,' and concluding his speech with feeling, Senator Boot said: " 'Thank Heaven, we have a Preaident in whose lofty character, in whoa sin cerity of purpose, in whose genuine de sire to do whst is right, wise, patriotic and what is best for the country aad humanity, we can trust absolutely. I trust in it. I hare differed from him in questions of policy and doubtless shall differ from him again. Men com ing up with different environments and associations and ideas must differ; but I have coafidene ia the character and purpose of the President of the United States. Ho is my President, and I will stand behind him in his leadership.' And hs closed by proposing a toast to the President. "These are the character of utterances that came from able man of both par- tie until tho exigencies of finding an issue for the campaign compelled the standpatters to repudiate th. patriotic utterances of their abls leaders and adopt ths jingoism of those who do not care for the horrors of war, 'To hear BeDubliean atmnrlnstfera Ilk Hughe and Roessv.lt (for they have sought shelter nnder tho wings of Penrose and Beed and Hmoot) criticise Hughes And The By SAVOYARD The loftiest sort of eloquence to that which makes men think. Tom Corwin, of Ohio, was one of ths most effective stump speaksrs our country ever pro duced, but he never made anybody think. His power came from his genius as an actor. John C. Cnlhoun and Dan iel Webster set men a thinking, though neither was the captivating orator Henry Clay was. On ths platform Btepben A. Douglas was fsr superior to Abraham Lincoln; and he aerer failed tl get the greater share of th applause; but Iin coin always managed to say something that set a lot of folks to thinking, and when a political speaker has done thai his case is virtually gained. Woodrow Wilson is the most powerful public speaker of our day. A profound thinker himself, he has ths rare gift to say things thai set others to think ing. As a master of ths English tongue he never had a superior ia pur hemi sphere, aot even in Kdgar Allan Poe, a wizard of English speech. . W llson is what Abraham Lincoln would have been, if Lincoln had been n calegiate aad a student. Lincoln read men; Wilson rends men aad books, too. At Bhadow Lawn oa September 20 Mr. Wilson, la a public address, de livered himself of the following, thnt to very suggestive of Lincoln: "I wsnt to suggest to yon a means of testing your fellowmen, as to whether they know what they are talking about or not.

Hughes employs a knap of what tka 'J Wil sob because he haa not son to war with Mexico because of tha loon of American lives and property, shows their inconsistency. The records of th State Department show thst ia Taft's and Roosevelt' and Lincoln's daw war was not tha only method of securing ro il reaa. It to because world wwdntss t-rt given than a taste for blood that they eriticizo Wilson. Tbs publto has not forgotten Lincoln's refusal to go to war because of like conditions in Mexico. If Lincoln's policy in Mexico was right, Wilson's policy is right." Mr. Daniels also spoke today ia la dependence, Kan. GIVE PROMOTION TO BORDER GUARDSMEN Tho appointment of Second Umi,.. ant W. 6.
