than a million men in the past three months for empty
victories. According to the viewpoint of the right" think
ers, all the men who have been sacrificed in the war on
both side have given their Uvea for result which were
: far short of the cost. ,

Ordinarily our sympathies ara naturally on the side
of 4he newspaper which Is being' sued for liber, but In
the case of the suit of Mr. Ford against the Chicago Tri
bune we cant help but feel that it would be in justice to
'the South If another suit should be brought against the
"muck-raker" for slandering the best section and the
best people in the world with its "blatant ignoramus" el
; legation. ' '- ' -
A WAR OF COMMERCIAL CREED. . -'
That the terrible European struggle is in reality a
trade war has been repeatedly charged since the cannon
began to roar In August, 1914. The intense rivalry of
Anglo-Saxon and Teuton for world commerce eupromacy
ha frequently been assigned by mor than one critic as
the contributing cause for the awful catastrophe which
now devastates th continent of Europe and more or leas
affects the people of the entire world. ' That these views
are more or less well founded has been given color by
the attitude of the Allies and their declarations of threat
ened boycots of the products of their enemies even after
the war shall have been brought to a termination.
, It has been quite evident from the development of the
past year that Great Britain 1 mad with the greed for
continued supremacy on the high seas. The retaliatory
measures adopted and proposed by, the British Govern
ment have done much to wean public favor In this coun-
try from the cause of the Allies and a continuance of the
'seeming utter disregard of the right of this country to
engage In legitimate commerce where and when, and with
'whom the citizens of this Nation desire to trade, will
1 create a breach which will not be easy to bridge,
i ' The United States cannot afford, and it will not sub
mit to having the dust of jealousy thrown in its teeth
by the British or any other self-seeking folk.
According to' Manager Hayes of the Kinston-Carolina'
Railroad, the recently inaugurated extension service to
the heart of Duplin is already producing splendid results
both from the passenger a well a the freight standpoint.
So it will be with every railroad extension tapping tor
ritory tributary to Kinston and making the way easy for
the residents to come here to trade.

- A contemporary In emphasizing the advocacy of its
choice for a judgeship,' urges his election, among other
reasons, on rthe strength of hi being a Democrat and a
member of a certain religious body. We are convinced
that every judge antrusted with th interpretation of the
law should be a God-fearing and God-erving man, but
his peculiar religious tenets should neither bar nor qual
ify any man for public office. ,

Col. Fairbrother, editor of the Greensboro Record, wise
: ly tuggeats that when the law ts ao fixed that plstol-tot-
era will go to the road fox five years th number of self-
defense eases In th courts will diminish, We can cer
tainly go with the Colonel 'to most any limits in the advo
cacy of drastic laws for the suppression of this menace
to society. Fiva year at hard labor for every scalawag
convicted of transporting a deadly pistol about would not
b a bit too sever.

Some few men, who have resisted the wcrk of midnight

' and who ha every advantag over his victim, who is sud

WHAT OTHERS SAY
MORE BAKER-WILSON TESTIMONIALS.
Wmston-Salem Journal: "After hearing Secretary Ba
ker, it would be hard to convince the average Democrat
that a vote against Woodrow Wilson in this campaign
would not b almost equivalent to casting a vote against
the Christian civilization. In fact, one gentleman who
has been hearing speeches and sermons a long time re
marked, when Mr. Baker had finished, that his speech
was the best sermon he had heard in years."
BRINGING HOME THE GUARD. ,
Raleigh Times: "If the mustering out of twelve Na
tional Guard regiments marks the beginning of a policy
which will return the entire organization to their homes,
it is expressive of a confidence in. a satisfactory Mexican
settlement that the country cannot ehare upon any rea
son of hopo yet given it. .
"It must not be forgotten that Carrlzal was an act of
war officially sanctioned by a man with whom the coun
try is now dealing as a sovereign of equal dignity. It
went unpunished, it even met with a silence that seemed
to accept the act itself as one which Carranza was justi
fied in taking. In the withdrawal of the Pershing forces
from Moxico which the demobilization order in all prob
ability foreshadows, it is given the effect of a smashing
victory. When the American soldiers are out of Mexico,
what can th Mexican people think except that they put
them out by fore and threat of arms? When w come
to negotiate with Mexican representatives, what hope
have we that they will fail to reflect at the conference
board the child-like pride which such a circumstance ia
sure to foster?
"From tho point of view of the personnel of the Nation
al Guard,, we can all look with satisfaction on the pros
pect of their early relief from a character of service which
can be justly expected of them, but which not one of them
contemplated when he enlisted, either before or after the
order of mobilization. ' These men are doing a patriotic
daty at great personal sacrifice. The'y are entitled to
very particle of sympathy they receive from the public
or from the War Department, But pending a settlement
through the Mexican Commission that is both reasonable
in its formal assurances and capable of practical enforce
ment, the material weakening of the border guard is no
more than an invitation to further trouble calling for
another and even larger mobilization."
