They Hand It To Him Hot.
The democratic press certainlywill sprinkle
the salt in the quivering flesh of Teddy be
' fore this campaign is over. We cannot see,
to save our life, how Teddy can appear before
the American people and secure serious atten
tion. He went too far. He irrevocably burn
ed the bridges. He may have told the truth
about the two parties, that is not the question.
In 1912 he said or was reported to have said:
"The two old parties are husks with , no real soul in
ther of them, divided by artificial lines, boss ridden and

parties. I will never abandon the principles to which we
Progressives have pledged ourselves men and: women, I
would continue this fight if I stood entirely alone,"
And it was this kind of a declaration that
brought to his flag hundreds of thousands of
people. Hundreds of thousands of all kinds of
people the Weary Willies, the bob-tailed and
disappointed rag-muffins of other parties; the
real patriots ; the discontented the adventur
ous all sorts of people good and bad but an
army of them, and they believed what Teddy
told them. But when he saw his last hope go
glimmering; when he realized that to run
again meant for him a journey "through the
open slaughter house into the grave" when
he saw that there was nothing in it for him
he refuses to stand where he stood although
two million men and women would have gone
with him. That far, all right. But when he
comes out and declares that one of these old
parties which was a husk in 1912 is any bet
ter in 1016 he can't make intelligent people

believe it. There is no excuse for Teddy tak
ing a part in this campaign. He will be unable
to get fire under the boys. His speeches will
not enthuse. It is not the old Teddy. It is
now phosphrous to lightning stage thunder
to the mighty reverberations of the heavens
it is the white whiskered past. Teddy. has be
come not only a reminiscence, but a reminus
ance. He played a large bluff on a small cap
ital. He held a bob tail flush and he was call
ed. He isn't in it, and the speeches he made in
1912, if the publicity department of the demo
cratic party knows how to use ink will silence
him in 19 1 6. The American people may like
to be humbugged but not all the time.

' The Cost?
A subscriber writes us and wants to know
what it is costing tHe government to mobolize
troop? and carry on the Mexican expedition.
We haven't kept account of all the items, but
suspect it runs way up yonder. Seriously we
have no way of knowing. That it will cost many
millions of dollars more millions than we
would like to say, there is no doubt. But it
hasn't been a bad move. Our army was in
such shape that we knew but little about it.
It is. y ell all happened that has happened. if it
goes no further. It will cost, more money if
"we get into war and if we do there is not a
patriot under the flag who will count the cost.
And there should be no kick coming on the
present expenditure.

John W. Also Speaks.
One of the most ardent of all Bull Meece
people in the world, was, we take it, John W.
Kurfees, of Germantown. John W. has been
a traveling man for many years ; he is well in
formed on the passing and current events and
if ever there was a man who believed that
Teddy was the real thing and indulged in the
apotheosis act, that man was John W. Kurfees
of Germantown. He writes a letter now and
calls on the beloved to weary not of well doing
but to follow Teddy. He says he has' fol
lowed him for fifteen years and expects to keep
on following him. Good boy what else could
he do?
What else? Why, bless your soul, these
Bull Meece people are just about to continue
and go to another ticket. They seem to under
stand that the path of glory leads but to the
grave and glory is theirs.
The whnlf truth 5 thi
The Bull Moose people, like Teddy, thought
that the bluff would work. They timed their
convention to meet simultaneously with the
convention to meet simultaneously with the
republican convention. Their guns was prim
ed, their trigger set and they thought they
could make the Old Guard understand that if
it didn't take Teddy to its bosom that within
five minutes they would nominate him and
thus again lead the party to destruction.
And the worst fooled man, the most sadly
disappointed man since Napoleon found him
self at Elba was Theodorus and naturally his
followers. The bluff, carefully planned, failed.
The Old Guard had determined to crucify
Teddy. The strong letter of acceptance by
Hughes was no doubt prepared months before.
The G. O. P. had made definite arrangements
and when the blow fell what a fall was there
my countrymen !
Mr. Kurfees, Mr. All The Boys who wor
shipped at Teddy's shrine who believed he
was Invincible today do not know what to do.
They try to make it appear that the republican
platform accepts much of the Bull Moose doc
trine but that doesn't satisfy. Because the
platforms of both parties are only handing out
the demands of Bryan sixteen and twelve years
ago. Naturally parties progress. But the Old
Guard didn't take any of the Progressive stuff.
It is Bryan stuff promulgated before Roosevelt
was ever President.
We do not blame the Bull Meece people.
They are stunned they are humiliated to
know that their gallant leader their political
god fell for. the programme of the Old Guards.
They saw in him the embodiment nf all that
was pure and holy in politics and when he side
stepped, named Lodge instead of Hughes
when he didn't see a progressive big enough
beside himself, then it was that his followers
had a right to believe that they had been
buncoed and used only for the purpose of the
glorification of a would be King. That is why
so many of them are sore. That is why Colonel
Nate Brown pours out his cup of sorrow
why many insist that the performance is not
yet over. And Mr. Kurfees who calls upon the
boys to rally to the Hughes standard will
create but little enthusiasm.

A Timely Step.
Mr. Charles Ireland, wlio was foreman of the
last grand jury, did something worth while. It
was a step in the right direction a step that
will help society and doubtless be of great
benefit to prisoners to our erring brothers for
the nonce denied liberty.
The errand iurv saw that when nffir;,ic ,
ited convict camps the guards and keepers
knew when they were coming and would natur
ally have their house in order. The suggestion
of Mr. Ireland was adopted by Judge Cline and
now most any day a committee clothed with
authority can go to a convict camp and proceed
to look things over. This is glorious.
We have heard of no charges against the
guards and camp keepers in this county at
least recently, but we all know too much about
the brutality of these officers in some sections
The prisoner is in our charge. It is our boun
ded duty to protect him. We have simplv
denied him his freedom because he transgress
ed the laws. Society simply demanded that he
be curbed. That he be punished. And the law
say mat ne must be treated properly.
We congratulate Mr. Ireland upon his
recommendation and we feel that the whole
state will finally adopt such a rule. This as
sures, beyond any questionmore humane
treatment for pur erring brothers. It makes
a better feeling all around. It puts a stop to
rumors which we hear and magnify. In a
word it is system it is doing what we should 1
have done long ago. j

of the survival of the fittest is a general law
and if flies spread disease it is up to us to swat

y - Our Duty Is Plain But
The Guilford County Juvenile law was creat
ed to assist boys." It was made to keep boys
out of court out of jail out of hell. But a
law and boy can do nothing. It takes co-operation
of parents, of citizens, of all interested in
saving to' Society its own to bring results from
such a law.
In Greensboro there have been many boys
sent on the right road because of this law but
others have gone the wrong road because we
didn't all turn in and do our part.
When a case gets into court then it is be?
yond the reach of the '.Probation officer be
yond the jurisdiction of citizens, no matter
how well intentioned. In Winston we read
where a couple of boys have been indicted by
Uncle Sam because they stole a few dollars.
UncleSam allows no sympathy sobs to go with
him. A thief red-handed is a thief and pun
ishment must be given. The underlying prin
ciple of the Juvenile law is to get hold of these
! C,plf J" law is to get hold ot these
youthful offenders and save them from tem-

duals are much more sympathetic than Uncle
Sam. In Greensboro today there is a case
which is liable to bring disgrace and punish
ment to some boys who really should not be
lost. So far the police court hasn't been noti
fied. So far there is a chance to save them
provided the parents do their duty. It is al
leged that one boy went into the office of a
business man and took some checks and money
an amount renresentJnor nvpr twvr . fiimrlrJ
and fifty dollars forty-five dollars being in
cash. The money and checks were missed and
no clue presented itself. The business man was

lost cash. But one day there came in the mail
fi, !Lt0 nnc'osjng a check for $io and
the father of a boy said he had found his boy
Avith a five dollar, bill.-. Questioned the boy ad-
mitted he had had ten dollars and spent it all
Dut hye. I he father gave his boy a severe
whipping, promptly enclosed his check for $io
and was williner to nrnred farther Hp un
I turnished information concerning the theft
. . .
i He said that another bov had stolen the
i money; that he had given some of it to his
mother and divided tfte rest between three
i other boys. .
; The business man got busy. He went to the
I probation officer and the probation officer has
been doing all he can to get the bovs to tell the
, story as it was; to have their parents return
j the money and let the matter blow over. But
we are informed that the parents do not be
! heve the story. They insist that their children
are innocent and refuse to assist all save the
; one yho sent the check. And today the situa
i tion is acute. If something is not speedily
! done there will doubtless be arrests. Then the
i case must be tried. If the boys arc not guilty
of course it will do thern no good to have been
under suspicion. If guilty it means their down
fall. So it seems that whether guilty or innocent
the parents should get busy and find for a fact
whether their children are telling the truth
Find for a fact that those accused did not take
the money. It is also up to all of us to help in
: the matter. For the reason that a boy isnot
, responsible. He is made so bv the law if he
.i stealsbut is not made so if he undertakes to.
: transact business in a legitimate manner. Fun--'
n.,Iaw but a fact. It appears to us that if a
child is accused of something which is wrong,
no matter how innocent the parent may be
; heve him, it is manifestly up to that pare'nt to
get busy and very busy in assisting to make
; clear the facts. In this case we arc told there
is indifference. And if it happens, as the busi
, nessman who has lost his money tells us it
will happen if settlement is not made or an at
! tempt at settlement, that these children go to
. court no one knows where the end of their
road will be.
; The Juvenile law is a grand theory, but the
i kid cannot work it alone. It takes the moral
support boh before and after of all the com
! munity. Let us hope that this particular case
II nuT5r g l? the courts let us hope that
the children will be punished ; the property
restored and the little boys-just starting in
the.r life S journey will not be disgraced bv
appearing in a court house accused of robbery

happiness. We read anew the Declaration of
Independence, because perhaps in this month
it was ireeiy printeu, aim paus.eu a moment
the Drooosition that tne signers ot that im
mortal document held that "all men are
created free and equal and endowed with cer
tain inalienable rights" and that among those
certain rights were "life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness." It was not stated as a fact
that man was created with any of these preci
ous things he was simply apprised of the
fact that liberty was his if he would fight
for it; life was his if the doodle bugs didn t get
pledered
their sacred honor" to defend.
But along comes a crowd of men enjoying
these sweet boons and undertakes to prescribe,
to define just what is meant by Happiness or,
rather to tell you that what you think is happi
ness isn't Happiness at all, and proceed to pass
laws enjoining you even from the pursuit of
Ha ppiness guaranteed by the Declaration.
Old Noah Webster, the most gifted man in
the use of words we ever met, said that happi
ness was "an agreeable feeling or condition of
the soul arising from good fortune or pro
pitious happenings of any kind" and the
Declaration of Independence solemnly insisted
that man was born into the world with the in

o. eertainly not.
. Catch that capitalized "NO." Think of Bob
Oliver, who never saw a potato patch in all his
life; who doesn't know whether potatoes grow
on vines, on bushes, on trees or telegraph poles,
assuming to tell his country friends men who
have planted and raised potatoes all their lives
that it isn't vet too late to nlant them Tn
fact Bob Oliver doesn't know that potatoes are
planted. He has seen them after thev h-r
grown and gotten into market he ha's eaten
uicni, uut ne aoesn t know whether they come
from the ground cooked or not. The truth is
he believes that potatoes are of different va
rieties; that if. you want baked potatoes you
plant baked potatoes ; if you want mashed po
tatoes you plant mashed potatoes; if vou want
fried potatoes you plant fried potatoes and so
on down the varying bill of fare. Xow had
some fellow asked Bob Oliver about the news

could have answered as a Master of Art. But
