DEPENDS ON THE LEADER
On account of the fact that it is a weekly publication
the outlook is unfortunate this week. It was compelled to
go to press before the Republican Convention had select
ed a candidate for President. The Outlook has been. an
ardent supporter of Roosevelt, and in the Issue of Wed
nesdoy, Juno 14, the matter for which was prepared and
rinted before it was known that. Justice Hughes had been
nominated, It is still loyal to Its hero.
Speaking of the Presidential candidates the Outlook
declares "there can he little doubt as to the character of
this compalgn if Mr. Roosevelt has been chosen as the
Republican standard-bearer." Cut it says that "if Mr.
JIughes or a still more unknown man Is selected, the
Issues of the campaign will have to shape themselves as
time goes on." Continuing the Outlook says:
'The result of the campaign of the next four months
will depend more i" "iipori the "lender-than upon the plat
form. For the people of he country In this Presiden
tial election have practically made their own platform
and have framed their own measures, Unless the Repub
lican candidate who has been chosen at Chicago while
these words are on the press embodies and represents
the great principles of Americanism which Mr. Roose
velt has so clearly expounded during the past year, he
will find his contest with Mr. Wilson during the summer
a difficult ono. For Mr. Wilson is an effective campaign
er, has a lurge following, und can be successfully met
only by an opponent who has (lefinite 'convictions and can
express them vigorously.'-'
VETERANS TO WILMINGTON
We are glad that the Confederate Veterans of North
Carolina are to meet again this year in annual reunion.
They should continue to meet every year so long ns
enough of them are left for two or three to gather to
gether. No year should pass that some city in North
Carolina will not throw its doors wide open to the Vet
erans. The reunion in -Wilmington will be held July
?6 27. That Wilmington will give the Veterans a good
time Is assured. Regarding the reunion O-'iiera! James
1. Metts writes his comrades of the State a-, follows:
"Five years ago you honored the member'- of the
camp as well as the citizens of Wilmington with your
presence at our State reunion. We want you again on
.lulv 26 nnd 27. 1fl1fi. and ns before, we will make this
our biale ueunion or confederate .derails, one that you
shall not forget.
Our citizens, our comrades. on' sec
tion of the Old North State will give you a hoirty wel
come nnd take care of you all. I.iose who wish free ac
commodations will be well taken care of. Reasonable
rates will be secured at hotels and hoarding houses for
those who, can come and we will endeavor to make you
comfortable and happy."

The Baptists of New York City are reported to be de
lighted over the fact that one of their number was nomi
nated for the Presidency on the Republican ticket. But
the mere fact that they are Baptists prevents these New
York citizens from supporting Mr. Hughes for the Pres
idency simply because he is n Baptist. The Baptist de
nomination has always stood for the separation of church
and State.

ministration. It will point with satisfaction anil pride
in the record made by that Administration during the
more than three years it has had hold of the reins of
government. Never in the history of this Republic has
i political party been able to rely with such confidence
end safety upon its record as the Democratic party is
able to do In St. Louis today. Never has a party been
blessed with a leader whose acts were quite so gratify
ing as have been the acts of President Wilson, Indeed.
Democracy need only call attention to those in order to
Hi-assure itself of the people's confidence and the people's
support. S
President Wilson has more tha I jiistifieil the fijpect.v
lions of his party and the fears of the opposition. As I
contemporary who has kept in close touch with the Pres
ident's Administration of the affairs of the Nation d
elares without brag or bluster, without n khaki makeup
a Jul without brandishing a "Rig Stick'" ' Wood row Wil
son has solved with gratifying success the problems that
I h'-ea t.ned the honor and security of the Nation. He
bus kept faith with his party and with the people, in-
liei', he record of the Wilson Administration has been
so notable that even a publication like Puck must needs
sit up and take notice and pause and become serious
long enough to say:
"The Ifamiltonian system of finance of the bankers,
by Hie bankers, for the bankers has been stood upon it
head and for the first time In. the history of the country
the United States has a scientific financial system with
the government and not the banks in control. The tariff
schedule has been revised until now it is a business docu
ment instead of a letter Tif marque nnd reprisal. 11 1 ft
Business' is still doing big business but honestly with
more hours in the office and counting-room and fewer in
the criminal courts. In moral and materia' and military
strength America is greater than ever. If we are not
feared abroad we are respected, which is more satisfac
tory."
With such n record of achievement as this the Dem
otratic party in convention at St. Louis today may well
face the future with confidence. The people have already
named the candidate. 'Ilie record writes the platform
and there would seem little left for the delegates to do
except ratify the expressed popular will.

city will be glad to know that 'plans' arc woM unilerwav

of the hill on the Shallow-ford road. This hill has been
in such bad repair that most people have corsed to use
it. but with the paving down it will once more take it
place as the lending approach to the city from the weal,
l-.very other approach has been improved and though
this improvement comes nt. a. late dayT i is TveH "TuuF;t"'
in mind that something bad to wait until the list. When
the street is paved by the county up to' the tap of the
hill all that will remain to be done to make ibis un- id
the best and most used thoroughfares leading into Win-ston-Salem
will be for the citizens residing on it to have
the street paved which. 'loads across by a near cut from
Fourth street near the West Knd school to the intersec
tion of Shallowford nnd West. Fourth streets.

For the national defense, in case of

the matter of success or failure of the
active forces in the field that it is
doubtful if any concern can consider
that its manufacturing and producing
facilities would not be called on to

in the emergency of war. it leaves lit
tle doubt that any concern engaged in
lines other than of work essential to
the government's . needs would be

army or for manning other industrial

of Kugland gives an unexpected range

A study of our industries shows
that in the event of national emergen

contribute largely to the national de

industrial Inventory is to point the
way. In the inquiry form used in se
curing this inventory of available na
tional defense nil questions of an in
timate nature have been purposely
avoided and the information, which
will be kept strictly confidential, will
not, only not lead to embarrassment to
the. manufacturer, but to the mutual
arlvartta-ge -of - both the - ina mi fncturer
and the government departments.
All manufacturers who have re

our personal representatives or by

the provisions would make an appar
ent, although not a specific reference
to charges of partiality to the Kn
tente Allies, and would point out that
questions involving not life, but only
property-can be settled by indemnity
and reparation when tiie passions, of
war have subsided.
Permanent Pence Tribunal
A permanent pence tribunal would
be advocated in one of the platform
planks as a court of arbitral justice
to which all disputes between nations
should he referred: How far the plat
form may reflect the President recent
declaration of willingness to have the
United States join n. world league to
enforce peace by a common police
force is not yet determined.
'.While the platform would deal wilh
the peaceful settlement of disputes be

in it declarations that the navy
shoflld be of proportions and efficiency
t hp Monroe doctrine and that the
Itanding army should1 he of sufficient
kreiiKth--fo-Kcur-i. -the couiiLry against
unexpected 'aggression,
The platform in the same connection
would declare for n sufficient reserve
force to secure the Nation against
invasion and aggression tit all times.
Coupled Willi this declaration for a
strong army and navy would be
straight formed complaint against all
wars of aggrandizement and against
violations of territorial aggression.
This would he intended as a declara
tion to the world that the United
States as the foremost spokesman for
peace and judicial settlement of dis
putes, makes its military preparations
not for aggression but for defense.
Ijibor Outlooks Touched Upon
Labor outlooks were touched upon,
as were government pensions.
One plank would deal with child
labor and another would advocate
legislation in the. interest of labor in
all government institutions. In sev
eral succeeding planks the legislative
record of the administration would
be set forth with references to the
Federal Reserve Law, the trade com
mission act the shipping bill, the
trade commission """tariff, and ' Other
measure-, passed by Congress -or now
being pressed by the administration.
Then the platform would contain
a definite pronouncement that when
the program now under w-ny Is com
pleted there will be no more legisla
tion which the business world could
regard as restraining: in short, busi
ness would be promised a rest from
congressional interference.
The draft. ns Secretary Baker
brought it from the -White House,
made no claims for general approval
of the President's course of "peace
and prosperity," hut President Wil
son's friends here are determined that
the platform would not be complete
without a strong presentment on that
point, and Senator Hasting of Wis
consin, was assigned to prepare a
plank, with the suggestion that it be
drafted in terms sufficiently strong to
make it one of the keynotes of the
campaign.
A plank of woman suffrage, which
was suggested by the President him
self, probably will be drafted. Some
of the discussions committeemen were
of the opinion that it might be re
garded as not sufllriently definite.
Indications tonight are that the
plank will be not unlike the Republi
can plank.

POET LAUREATE OF ENGLAND
WRITES SONNET TO KITCHENER
(By The Associated Press)
London, June 13, The Times to
day prints a sonnet to the late Karl
Kitchener, written by Hr. Robert
Bridges, the P.ritlsh poet laureate. The
sonnett follows:
"1'nllinching hero, watchful to foresee,
And face thy emmtry's peril where
soe'er, Directing war and peace with equal
care ... ;
Till, by long toil enobled, thou wert he
Whom England called and hade 'set
my farm free.
To obey m v will and save mv honor

What day the foe presumed on her
despair
And she herself had trust in none hut
thee
Among Herculean deeds the miracle
That massed the labor of ten years in
one
Shall he thy monument. Thy 'work "is
done.
K'er we could thank thee, and the
high sea swell
Surgeth unheeding where thy proud
ship fell
By the lone Orkney's ere the set of
sun."

Russian statement
Petrograd, June 14. Via London.
In their advance upon Czernowitz, the
capital of Bukowina, the Russians
have occupied the village of Rniatyk,
20 miles northeast of the city, the war
office announced today.
In addition to the previous captures,
the Russians have taken 20 officers,
tt.uOO men, six guns and 10 machine
guns.
The announcement says:
"Western fronts Along the whole
front from southward from Polesia,
the Russian frontier, our troops con
tinue to drive buck the enemy. Dur
ing yesterday twenty officers and
about 6,000 men were taken prisoners.
We have taken six cannon, ten ma
chine guns and many artillery and
ammunition wagons. The total of
prisoners and trophies captured dur
ing the operations amount to nearly
120,000 men, 1,728 offlcers, 130 cannon
and .230 machine guns.
"Reports which have been received
say the enemy abandoned at certain
points quantities nf various war ma
terials of such bulk as to make It im
possible to give an exact description
at sucn snort notice; as an instance,
we found abandoned sufficient rails
for field railways to cover 30 verstt)
(about 30 niilesl
"Many of the enemy units are com
pletely disorganized, judging by the
fact that in the fighting from June 6
to 11. General Sterchbatchoff, in a
comparatively insignificant sector,
captured 414 officers, 17,000 soldiers,
29 guns. 34 machine guns, 66 cais
sons and other booty.
"On the Vladimir Volhlcky road the
enemy displays stubborn resistance;
the battles continue west of the vil
lage of Zaturse, halfway between
Lutsk and Vladimir.
"In the region of Saturze the Cos
sacks made a brilliant charge, put
ting to the sabre an enemy squadron.
"West of Dubrnoor our troops
pressed the enemy before them, and
reached beyond the village of Demi
dovak, and southwest of Dubno Cap
tured the village of Kozine. North
of Buczachz, in the region on the
right bank of the Stripa, the enemy
tried powerful counter attacks. In
