W are hopeful that our friend Cowan is lending his presence regularly to the services. a It appears to ua that if Mr. W. E. D. Stokes, a New York millionaire, who is said to be the American repre- awntative of the Diaz faction has been instrumental in as sisting Dias or any other revolutionist in fomenting more trouble and inaugurating an uprising against the de facto government of Mexico, which has been given recognition by the United States, the Department of Justicemight well take cognizance of Mr. Stokes' activities and ascer tain If ha haa not been guilty of some offense against his ' Government for which he should be punished. His as sociations, at least, appear to be questionable. The Mexican situation apparently grows more serious with each passing hour. As was to be expected, and free ly predicted, the Mexican treachery is having its Inning and our soldiers are being shot down by snipers and Chose who ahould really be lending every assistance to : the United States forces to run down a common enemy. Sudh a large mass of the Mexlcana are Ignorant and there for easily misled by false rumors, that there is little wonder if they misunderstood the mission of America in endeavoring to run to earth the notorious outlaw, Villa. Little consideration should be shown to those Americans if there should be any detected in giving rise to rumors which complicate the altuatlon and inflame the Mexicans into animosity and opposition to the progress of our puni tive expedition. Such offenders ahould certainly have justice meted to them promptly for their treasonable con- ; duct A WORTHY IDEA. The idea of perpetuating the names of worthy Kinston citizen by naming the City Schools after them is one that should have the approval of every citizens This plan has been in effect in other places and it Is a most fitting way to commemorate the lives and deeds of those who have rendered conspicuous service. Far better is it to have a monument of usefulness than one of ornamental stone. There may arise some difference of opinion as to those best entitled to the honor, but certainly there will be few, if any, who wiH not endorse the action of the 'City school trustees Thursday night in naming the white schools after Captain Grainger and Jr. Lewis, both of whom took prominent place in the progress and develop ment of this community and befitting, too, is it that Dr. Lewis be so honored during his lifetime. We congratu late the trustees for their timely and appropriate action. THE POWER OF EXAMPLE. Those who had the privilege of listening to the splendid address of Dr. E. C. Brooks, head of the Department of Education ot Trinity University,' who spoke at the Moss Hill group center commencement Friday, were impressed with the logical and forceful emphasis which he put upon the power of example. Dr. Brooks gave place to the theorists and accredited some good to their efforts, but he aared little, he said, for the teacher whose life was not a living example of his doctrine. He spoke of the news papers who preached morality but whose editors were known to be dissolute characters and emphasized the in consistency of such teachings. He called to task the theorist who would tell the planters how best to conduct their farms when they themselves had never demonstrat ed that they could successfully operate their own places. In a most graphic way D5. Brooks depicted the heroic age of the boy, pointing out how the ambition and admira tion of the 'boy of tender years was first centered in one direction and then another because of the power of ex ample, and the hero worship which dominated his little nature. We believe the world is becoming more keen to the dis tinction between the teaching of those who practice what they preach and the hypocrites who do not take their own medicine than has marked its discrimination in the past, and we are glad that Dr. Brooks brought this mes sage to us Friday. It would have been well if every man, woman and child in Lenoir County could have heard the masterful address. Those who have been uneasy because of the apparent Inactivity of the candidates will now observe, that the pot is near the boiling point The hats are ' flying like the cushions and pop bottles in a ninth inning rally. VOX POPUU Those who witnessed the demonstration of the results : obtained in the Moonlight School campaign last fall when three men, one of them of middle age, and the other two having reached year of maturity before they knew one letter from another, could not help but be impressed with the good that can b accomplished from the Moonlight ; School effort The thre pupils who gave demonstrations of having acquired torn knowledge at least of the three R's at the Moas Hill group center commencement Friday presented forceful and concrete examples which must have impressed every one present The Free Press has before expressed Us hope, and it will bear repetition here, that the campaign begun in North Carolina last fall for the elimination of adult illiteracy will be even more vig orously waged thla fall and the coming years until it can b truthfully eaid that illiteracy has been driven from the 'State. WHAT OTHERS SAY PICKING THE PRESIDENT. Charlotte Observer! "One contributor to The Observe is disposed to advise the board of trustees of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College In the selection of a president that care must be had for the mechanical end of the problem. It is a fact that mechanical training has become, in consequence of the developing necessities of the State, of vast importance to the faculty of the col lege. This has been of appreciation in the past by the management, but the successor to Dr. 'Hill must be farmer, mechanic, business man, soldier, man of unClrcum scribed managerial capacity and of the first class ex ecutive ability. Some of the applicants for the place may have oneor the other of the qualifications for the presi dency of the college, but not many will be found combin ing the whole. Out of the list of 25 or more from which the selection is to be made The Observer feels confident that the right man will develop." WTE COUPON GOOD FOR 100 VOTES For ................ ..

There is no denying its tendency to make you humble for the time being at least. I am not a candidate tor the coming campaign, strange as it may seem. I am still interested, how ever, in things political. And would like to see the Democratic party adopt such measures and means as would be for our common good, and eliminate the selfishness that is so apparent "We are all taxed, and not any of us but what realize it more and more each year, and the worst is yet to come. Where Kinston does have a iittle to show for their expenses, the county has nothing save an old truck, gome mules, and the output of the Recorder's Court There is still the treasurer's office, however. "If the Democratic party can't even get men to hold office except those who eerve themselves and their friends with so little regard for the public welfare, the people that vote and pay tax might as well realize it now as later. -i have been wondering what the orators would have for their theme in the coming campaign, the old soldier has been often referred to, and if that did not make the boys whoop, why the 'nigger' is next, any man knows, to mention the possibility of a 'negro' holding office tends to in flame the white man; then he is led like a lamb to the slaughter, while these political pirates begin to levy toll on the unsuspecting victim. The Southern soldier we remember with gratitude. I wish he sometimes might be considered more in a ma terial way, and not be expected to subsist so much on the reminders of his bravery in the past. And I sus pect that most of them would like to see their country governed by an in fluence that did not work entirely for self, and I don't believe that we are worthy sons of such noble sires to sit quietly by, and let such an aggre gation as is now in control of the Democratic party shape our destiny, The past performance of our party reminds us of the following poem: "The open-work stocking, The invisible stocking, The cob-webby stocking . .That keeps her so wanm. That is analogous, too. "That grand old party, the Demo cratic party, the. boss-ridden party that has fooled us s0 long. "Most people that help manage af fairs have some consideration of the sources from which their revenue is derived. The policy followed in this county is the reverse. I dont mean to leave the impression that we will not have oratory, but I was just wondering if the fellows that have any regard for the truth could risk their veracity on such thin ice. "I am indeed grateful td my friends for their loyal support in the past and the encouragement to enter the com ing campaign. I hope to ever be loy- to the principles for which you have supported me. I will have to decline, however, to enter the con test for nomination. "Gratefully yours, "P. A. HOOKER."

Have you a banking home? w The National Bank of Kinston The Player Piano and What It Means to The Home HAVE you ever stopped to realize the extraordinary influence good music exerts in the home? This greatest, of arts and the one language under stood by all, ia truly the tie that : binds. It promotes a regard for the home and iU environment not approached by any other factor. A player piano in the home keeps people there. It establishes a unit of home interest which draws people within the house and ' does not divert them from it. There is no question that the fam ily circle is more closely knit with such a bond of common interest as the Player Piano a musical instrument that can be played by every member of the family and in the playing of which each may put into the music his own perso nal interpretation or musical in tuition. It sUrely is a marvelous inven tion that makes possible th ar tistic rendition of the world' mu sical library. Grand opera, the classics, dance music, the latest song, ballad, or patriotic chorus and every selection may be beau tifully rendered with a Player Piano of known value and artistic worth. When one purchases an "Ex celltone Player Piano he at the same time purchases the capabil ity to Cxpre himsr'f correctly, musica'ly. He is enabled to por tray his musical feelings, his mu sical moods and preferences ex actly as he wishes to by means of the extraordinary expression pow ers and minute variations and shadings in contrasts, which are ' , ' . ;: embodied in an "Excelltone PUvw Piano.. ; The rare, uplifting influence f musie has been carried into thooj.- nnua ui uomcs me wona over k rExeelltone- Player Piano. ,5 the influence of the music that U made possible in those homes k an influence in the right direction It has educational and entertain, ment features of practically limited proportions. , When you buy an' "ExeeUtoto? Player Piano, fitted - with tat Standard player action, you d more than simply install a player in the home you create harmony you exert an influence for good in that home and you diffuse knowl edge on matter musical which will benefit every member of the family eircle. You provide joy and entertainment of the rational common-sense kind and an impor tant thing each member of the family can directly participate in making his own music. You pro mote culture and refinement you hrnnrifln fha mental tin.;... .v. i household. The children of the home are afforded an opportunity to train their ear correctly and to familiarize themselves with the wyrth-while music, as they hear it played on the "Excell tone Player Piano. It is no exaggeration to state th-t in the entire field of human activity nothing wields a better influence in the home, and nothing may be better personally enjoyed by every member of the family than an "Excelltone" Player Piano containing the famous Standard player action.
