- The News and Observer is urging the young men to
become Democrats, aaying among other things that De-
' mocracy 4a good for young men, Happily the great ma
jority of the young men of the Souih are born Demo
crat. Yes, Democracy is good for young men. It's good
for old men. In fact, it's good from the cradle to th
grave.

The tobacco market and the banks in Kinston have
already announced their Intention to observe a holiday
on next Tuesday, the opening day of the second annual
Xlnston fair. What about the business houses T Th(
day ought to 3e made a general half holiday at least.
Every store in Kinston might close at one o'clock anc
give their clerks and proprietors, as well, an opportunity
to help the management give the 1016 fair a great tend

; Mr. KitcWn remarked in his, address Tuesday that he
would like to convert ihe (Republicans in his audience al
though he did not expect them to make any confession.
If the State Democratic Committee continues to eenr'
.their "big guns" to Lenoir to tell of the great record of
Democracy, and the Republican friends continue to find
seats In the audience, we dont ser how they are going tr
keep from becoming converted, for the truth is bound tr
prevail sooner or later.
IDE HUGHES CAMPAIGN WATER-LOGGED, y
There is every evidence that the Hughes campaign has
become water-logged. At least, the weather vanes of
the political atmosphere see nothing but a falling off day
br day of the followers of the ex-jurist.
There le nothing tnytterious or puzzling about the sit
uation. Mr. Hughes' campaign -hat not had since its
inception a single aound prop. It hat been an aimless,
reckless groping in the dark for an issue without snc
cess-. The New York World sizes the situation up when
it attributes the decline and prospective fall of the
Hughes candidacy to its lack of the "one element with
out which no candidacy has a right to succeed the ele
ment of gofcd faith."- Mr. Hughe! bat not toted fail
with the American people. At the time wh?n he wat held
in high esteem by all the people as a member of the
United Stales Supreme Court, and when to all outward
appearances -he was giving his undivided attention to the
important matters coming before that great tribunal, h
was "gumshoeing" a campaign for the Republican presi
dential nomination. Being successful in that effort an"
becoming the standard bearer of the Republican party
he has failed still to come out in the open and let th
people, whose support he is asking, know where h
standi. Instead of devieing and presenting for the en
dorsement of the American people a constructive pro
gram in kteping .with the times, his attention has beer
given entirely to tearing-down tactict. One by one h
has tackled the g-eat pieces of ronstructiive legislation en
acted by the Democratic Congress under the leaderahij
of President Wilson and in every case he hat discovered
that the dirt under his feet wae loose. Not content will
the tactics of Invective and vilification, Mr. Hughes' party
is stooping to circulate charges and rumors which hav.
no foundation, but by which it is hoped to disparage th'
Wilson adminstration in the minds of the people.
Surely, k begins to' look like the Hughesites are fall
ing back on the last resorts to stem the receding tide.
.The announcement of Democratic Chairman Cowpa
that Senator Simmons scheduled for an address befor
the voters in Lenoir county about November 1st, at which
time a great county rally is planned to be held at La
Grange, ia of particular interest. It is not usual, that
district which la not considered in the doubtful column
has the privilege of hearing in the same campaign the
leaders of both branches of the National Congress, and
Lenoir 4a indeed fortunate in hawing heard House Leader
Kjtchin and in the promise of Senator Simmons' engagement.
The difference between the violation of Belgium's neu
trality and Greece's neutrality is largely a matter o'
"whose ox ia gored." In the former instance, B.'lgiun
resented the violation of its rights by the Germans aw
as a consequence was run rough-shod over; but not unf
It had made a stand sufficiently lengthy to enable the Al
lies to so prepare as to prevent a speedy culmination o
the conflict by the over-running of France as well. Ir
the" latter case the Allies have calmly taken possessior
without any regard, seemingly whatsoever, for the neu
trality of Greece, and because of a division of sentimon
imong the people of Greece there has been no rmed re
listance to the encroachment of the Allies' forces. On
rtstency, thou an a jewel. The pro-Ally adherents can't
with any degree of sincerity longer criticise the Germar
artcit )fl the case of Belgium.
