If the United States were to get
in the war, it would not be much of
a war on our part. We haven't
any army to speak of, and our na
vy would be useless. Our moral
support would count, however, in that
the German people would be slow to
believe' that the whole world turned
against them without cause.

The Record agrees with Mr. EL
liott, as indeed everybody does, that
strong men are needed as mayor
and members of council. We don't
f
believe any but good men will be
chosen, either. Hickory, so far as
we can see, always puts good men
forward.
'Grateful?"
We are frank to admit that all
those who have told us they do not
approve Mr. Wilson's policy simply
don't want him to hinder Germany.
These men can justify anything that
has been done in this war on the
grounds of human nature.

MONDAY EVENING
A GREATER QUESTION
- t
If the question confronting the
house tomorrow was no greater than
onn simnlv warninir Americans off
. . I - ' '
armed shtps of ' belligerents, the Re
cord would be in favor of it, as
would all people who are not irrev
ocably committed to the cause of
one side in this awful war. Some
people, the Record regrets to say,
want the allies to win, regardless of
the consequences, while others would
destroy their own government if
that woil help the fatheriand to
emerge triumphant. Neither posi
tion is right.
The United States should abide by
the principles of international law
as developed through centuries of
conflict; it should not swerve one
jot at the behest of any powerful
belligerent; it should insist on its
rights and the rights of neutrals.
Should; the United Static, afltf1
trying so hard to prevent war with
Germany ovtr various incidents
which, f 'hey had been committed
by the United States ag:vinst Berlin,
would have brought every German
sword, from itu saabbard finally

The Kinston Daily News is of the
opinion that the average congress
man hasn't much more backbone than
the average jellyfish. Most of them
do seem to run with their noses to
the ground and their ears to the
wind.
That newspaper which printed a
story to the effect that Mr. Wilson
might resign if he is not sustained
got a calldown that ought to hold
it for a while. A brave man does
not run from his responsibilities.
Of course we understand perfect
ly that everybody who does not
agree with you or with us simply
is to be pitied. Isn't that the way
you feel? Or would you like
to boot him ?
Since the middle of the last quar
ter century, we have heard of the
same "middle-weight" champions in
North Carolina. Are these present .
day wrestles the same guys?
Now that Representative Webb has
received two septfratev petitions from
Hickory urging "Win to do two differ

just what action'! ti 'take;

The ru' -i- rf tailed to the senate
by Mr. Gorof Oklahoma to the ef
fect that' .toe -president had stated
that "wai-nK2tnot be ungrateful,
might end'Vtfie war by midsummer
and thus jstfgrht render a great ser
vice to civilization" was a poor ex
cuse as justifiiCaHon for the intro
dildtion of A 'the tr resolution contem
plating the': tp:ehder of American
riahts. No man in his senses could
have seriously believed that the pre,
ident had made such a statement.
For Mr. Wilson has shown himself
neither a fool nor a loose talker on
diplomatic questions. . To have ac
cepted such a rumor as a basis on
which to found a national policy was
the best possible proof that a des
perate search was being made to dis
cover a pretex to conceal the real
motive. -
There is, however, something
highly significant in the phrase
chosen -to be attributed to the pres
ident. As a matter of sober fact
would war be ungrateful to the
American people? Instantly we say
"Yes." but a moment's reflection
brings a doubt. Without question
war would bring temporary relief,
It would be of immense psychologica
value to' the nation. It would bring
America to self-realization as noth
ing else could do. It would re
suit in a silencing of a dangerously
selfish element. It would bring us
into a sudden sense ot patriotism as
it would disclose for us as treason
acts and words and motives which
i -t.i.ii i
nave Deen toieratea witn tne easy
indifference that goes with peadef.
War would mark the beginning of
another national epoch distinct from
that which began when the War Be.
tween the States came to an end
Its very declaration would result in
a mental benefit worth the cost. A
the easy, way to the temporary solu
tion of many questions which other
wise will take years to determine rt
m gt)t well be an economic asset

now tne leutonic mind would react
to the situation to determine The
united fatates, in the world wonlr! K
practically divided between allies and
central powers. Germanv .th
genius of war would be permanently
iui-.-e.ij. its people would be
brought to realize that organized hu
manity considered the system bv
which they live in common hlio-V.V
aim pern. iney would see the hand
writing on the wall, t.hp
finger of fate. How would thev ac
cept the inevitable? Would they
welcome the opportunity of yielding
or would they take fresh courage
of desperation? No man can say.
No man who has the power remotely
u iniiuence events has even the right
f opinion.
"War might not be linp-mtp-fnlt"
We wonder. Weired as the phrase is
nen attriDuted to the president, it
ticks with a mysteriously famiiiar
sound. Can it be that it expresses
n its cold opportunism what has be
gun to beat in the hearts of a people
unconsciously and despite them?

Youth is the Time to Save
Few people succeed who do not make a start before nf
age. The man who has saved nothing by that time will aim
certainly end his days dependent upon some one else.
The younn- man who has a fixed purpose to get ahead,
who regularly saves a part of his income will just as certah
be independent when he is old.
It is not the man with the largest salary who saves the m, .
but the steady plodder who is determined to make somethi:
of himself.
A Bank Account is the easiest and most attractive way ,
getting a start, and a boy with a bank account has somctiti:
definite, something that is always a satisfaction, and one of ii
greatest incentives to save. Let us open an account with y
while you are young.

FEDERAL SUPERVISION.
Much is being said and written
about Federal supervision, and as far
as the chances for any net results in
the near future are probable, a further
discussion is a waste of time. It might
not be amiss to say that if the recent
reinsurance of the Knights of Honor
In the Continental Beneficial Associa
tion of Philadelphia by order of the
District Jourt of East St. Louis is a
fair sample of Federal work, then de
liver us from all such.
