MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1916
News Item: News dispatches actually report one point
In 'Mexico quiet and orderly. ' ''
laf readiness Is being considered more generally than
the spiritual fitness. After all the real care for the boys,
who shoulder arms for their country, should be for their
spiritual preparedness to face the consequences of battle
death. There has been no hesitancy on the part of those
who have been tailed to answer promptly; mentally they
ure ready; some of those who have Hhown their willing
ness may not be accepted when the physical tests are
made. How about the spiritual? When the willingness
to go is manifested and the physical test has been stood,
can it le truly said that they are ready?
Pastor Bernard P. Smith in his splendid address to
the soldiers of Company R of the Second Regiment and
the members of the Band, who assembled to hear him
Sunday morning, emphasized most forcefully the need
for spiritual preparation. He made a most practical sug
gestion for the encDuraRement of the boys, who are to
leave this week for camp. "If the people of Kinston
want to do something for the boys, why not give to each
of them a copy of the New Testament, which they can
carry in their pockets wherever they are called to go."
Yes! Why not? The time is short, but aside from any
social attention that may be planned in honor of the sol
diers, the gift of a Testament might be the means of
leading more than one, who is not now spiritually pre
pared to recognize his unpreparedness and "Get Right."
In the meantime the "waits'-for further reports from
surviving? officers of the Tenth Cavalry gives both sides
an opportunity to make further preparations for the real
hostilities which seem imminent.

The North Carolina pharmacists held their annual meet
ing at Wrightsville Beach this year and they go next
. time to Aaheville. Their plan to alternate the dips and
the mountain breezes is an attractive one.
Noting that the Morehead City folks anticipated a big
patriotic celebration on July 4th 'with the North Caro
lina soldier boys, we desire to express the hope that all
the battles that the boys are called upon to fight may
be sham.
Editor Vamer of the Lexington Dispatch is again at
the head of the Good Roads Association of the State.
The good roads people know a good thing when they have
it, whether the folks of Mr. Varner's congressional dis
trict do or not. '
f
A report sent out by the United Press Friday pre
dicting that Raymond Robins, the Progressive conven
' tlon keynoter, BwjH support Wilson , is not hard to be
lieve. When the roundup is made in November there is
' apt to be a goodly number of the independent Progress
ives in the Wilson band wagon.
HALF HOLIDAY THURSDAY.
It is being suggested that the merchants of Kinston
close their stores Thursday afternoon about twelve
thirty in order that their employees may taken the race
meet at the Fair grounds. The Free Press hopes that
the suggestion will be favorably received and that the
merchants will join in the movement. By so doing they
will not only help to make the undertaking of the pro
moters a success and insure other such attractions, but
they will afford to tlieir salesfojces an opportunity to get
a little sunshine and fresh air amid pleasant environment.
IHs not an uncommon thing for the business houses of
a city to close for such occasions. Only last week Raleigh
celebrated a game of ball between its own team and one
of its chief rivals by closing up shop for the afternoon.
A half holiday for Thursday. Let's have it!
WHAT OTHERS SAY
Carranza is quoted as saying: 'I don't want to fight,"
and from the indignities that he and his followers are
f piling up on the forces of Uncle Sam it would appear that
he is under ifche impression that we won't fight. He is
probably scheduled, however, for a disillusionment on that
score and if he has not already provoked hostilities it
: will take very few additional straws to break the camel's
back.
VerCrui and other Mexican ports are already becom
ing the haven for fleeing American refugees who have at
last bexn . aroused to the danger of longer remaining in
Mexico. We apprehend, however, that some of these
daredevils and hard-headed chaps will be caught even
yet and there of course will be a big howl to send a re
lief expedition. They have had fair warning.
ARE TIIEY READY
Much Is being written and said about the boys who are
now making ready to answer their country's call for
service in case of war with Mexico. .Their readiness is
being discussed and commended. The physical and men-
DEMOCRATtC CAMPAIGN FUND.
Wilmington Star: "The Democratic National commit
tee announces that it will need something like $1,700,000
to pay campaign expenses, and Treasurer W. W. Mash,
of the committee, urges all Democrats to share in the
fund to be raised for defraying expenses of the thorough
campaign that Is to be waged in every state from now
till the 7th of November. He says: "Every member of
the party will be expected to contribute something and
no sum will 'be too small."
We also have an idea that no sum will be too large,
in cases where Democrats can afford to be liberal in order
to get four more years of Democratic constructiveness.
The response to Treasurer Marsh's appeal should be
prompt, as the party will have to depend upon voluntary
contributions. The Republicans will rely upon Big Busi
ness, as usual, to furnish the money to elect Hughes and
Fairbanks, and already some of the great corporations
have eignifled their intention of standing by the Republi
can committee.
The Democratic committee will look principally to the
people for the funds necessary to conduct the campaign
of the party of the people, while the Republican com
mittee will depend mostly upon the special interests, as
usual, to furnish the money to put the party of the special
interest back in power.
Democratic contributions are needed now, and The Star
will receive and forward all checks and amounts left with
it for the National committee."
CRITICS PUT TO Wirs END.
Columbia State: "It isn't very hard to find some ex
cuse for criticizing the administration if you are a fairly
earnest criticizer, and we see in a New York paper that
a gentleman has managed to work himself up to a point
of the most intense indignation because Mr. Lansing in
udvertently addressed the Carranza envoy as Sir, in
stead of Your Excellency."
