NOW FOR THE BABIES t
Having a care for baby ia the slogan for the week be
ginning today, The Mothers' Club of Klnston assisted
fey the ministers, physicians and nurses have planned to
conduct an educational program in aeries dealing with
questions of vital importance to baby's welfare. The first
ef these discussions is being held this afternoon. It is
important that every mother, and father as well, avail
themselves of the opportunity afforded to learn more
about (discharging . their obligations of parenthood, by
becoming better qualified to care for" and protect their
offspring.
Conservation is the keynote of the progressive thought
of the world. Too long has that thought been directed
solely to the conservation of resources other than man
hood and womanhood. The forests, the minerals, the
agricultural lands, the cattfte, all have had friends and
rightly they should be protected and conserved but H still
remains an amaiing truth that the formation of boards
for the protection of hogs and the conservation of the
trees is more readily obtainable in the average community
and Klnston is but the average than is provision for
proper safeguarding the health of the people. An epi
demic of some fatal disease which decimates the cattle
and hogs of the community quickly brings remedial ac
tioh; but not so with the welfare f babyhood for thou.i
audi upon thousands of the Uttfle innocents die annually
for lack of proper care and attention, we are informed
by the best medical authorities.

vor of a surrender of any of the rights of the people of
this country, simply because one of the belligerents of
Europe, inflated with the successes of her arms, arro
gantly assumes the role of interpreter and revisionist of
the laws of nations and would proceed to interpret and
revise to suit her own selfish purposes.
President Wilson is as true type of the real American
and exemplifies the spirit that was responsible for the
creation of this "Land of the Free and Home of the
Brave" as well, if not better, than any servant of the
people who has occupied the exalted chief executive's
chair. He, too, in an enthusiast for peace, and his mas
terful conduct of the diplomatic relations of this coun
try, which have involved the rights of all neutrals and
non-combatants, and necessitated the banishment of
three diplomatic representatives who became persona non
grata, with people thirsty for blood, flushed by vic
tory and ambitious for world conquest, should be assur
ance for every man that he is the safe leader; that those
who would pose as peace preservers and undertake to give
impression that Woodrow Wilson is seeking to throw
this country into the conflict which now devastates Eu
rope, are imposters and agitators who seek an oppor
tunity to advance their own political fortunes, but who
have woefully misread the signs.
The Senate did well to declare in such certain fashion
that it was willing for Mr. Wilson to conclude his diplo
macy unhampered by legislative action or debate and
the House will likewise meet the approval of the people
if it, too, declines to further embarrass the administra
tion by giving the impression abroad that there is lack
of support for its policies.
Old "Cy" Young is reported to be grooming himself
for a political race in his home town. If the old fox
can put 'em over the political home plate as he used to
do on the diamond his opponents might as well quit the
race now.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE SENATE'S ACTION PLEASING.
The action of the Senate in atanding by the President
and by overwhelming vote removing the obstacles which
have been put in the way of the pursuance of his for
eign policy should, and we believe will, meet with the
hearty approval of the vast majority of the people of
this nation.
The average man among us is an enthusiast for peace
and freedom and nothing is more distasteful than the
appearance of arms and the thought of militarism. The
average American citiien ia not and never has been in fa-
DUNCAN'S RETIREMENT.
Charlotte Observer: "Mr. John M. Morehead, who was
yesterday elected National Committeeman by the North
Carolina Republicans to succeed Mr. E. C. Duncan, is
representative of the younger element of the party, an
element that for the first time in State history has been
given a measure of recognition. While Mr. Morehead's
election was in the nature of a compromise, it was never
theless a victory for the Progressives, at the same time
being more on account of Colonel Roosevelt than out of
any consideration for Mr. Marion Butler. To the Ob
server's mind the leadership of Mr. Charles Cowles and
his associates had more to do with the retirement of Mr.
Duncan than any influence Mr. Butler could have exerted,
and that, in fact, it was accomplished not by Butler, but
in spite of Bu'Jer. The outcome makes it the more pos
sible for the Republicans of the State to get together. The
Duncan, or old-line faction, would never bolt. On the
other hand, had the Duncan element" prevailed there can
be but little doubt that the Progressive would have bolt
ed; that they would not have waited until a future time
to put their bolt into execution, but that they would have
marched out of the hall, Butler at their head, and would
have forthwith organized a full-fledged Progressive cam
paign. The change in National committeeman means an
endorsement of Roosevelt and a practically united Re
publican party in North Carolina when voting time comes.
Around this fact centers the main significance of the
convention.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION ANOTHER VIEW.
Greensboro News: "One wonders what our Republican
friends thought of themselves on the gray dawn of the
morning after, and if what they thought of themselves
was satisfactory. Their major differences, presumably,
had been composed, and it only remained to embrace the
harmony that was so obviously within reach. Instead of
proceeding thus the customary and familiar factional dif
ferences arose; and the strife within the party was ac
centuated.. It appears that the cry was for a "new"deal,
but are Republicans under the impression that they got
this? The influences that Anally predominated were
positively senile in point of years spent in factional rows.
"We have little idea how the thing is going to work
out It may be that a Butler hegemony will be agreeable
some day to North Carolina; but the signs do not as yet
warrant such a conclusion, in our judgment. We suspect
that the judicious among Republicans will be inclined to
grieve, while thoughtful Democrats
ho have for some time fel. that a
good, healthy opposition would be
well for most of the Southern States,
will be disappointed. Democratic or
ganization leaders, meanwhile, will
iiew the outlook with complaisance,
and perhaps with the comforting con
elusion that their campaign work has
been greatly simplified."

every respect design, materials, workman
ship and price.
