Yet they are constantly in danger. So we always think of the doctor and the nurse at the the front with admiration. To us, as a part, even though that part is but a molecule, of the Old North State,, it brjngs a flush of pride to think that in this peculiarly he roic ranksi amid the Screaming shot and shell of the European battlefields, Now mall. Senator Lodge is appearing When Colonel Roosevelt comes back from a trip to the border States and tells that not one of the thou: sands of American soldiers along the International line know wnat he is there for, and then proceeds to fiend ishly make merry over Wilson's Mex ican policy, he carries bombast to an absurd degree and impeaches com mon sense that should be a part of patriotism. He handles patriotism in an exceedingly reckless manner. His bitter enemies might cliarge that he lacks patriotism by such conduct, but the Colonel is merely excited by the chase and would strain all human im pulse and emotion in order to win. To assert that the American sol- jdiers do not know why they are on the border, first of all brings a charge against General Funston. who sought their presence and who thinks that they still belong there. To at tempt to convince people that the sol diers are ignorant of why they are there would impeach their sense. To merely make the charge in order to speak disparagingly n ie adminis tration and ridicule Woodrow Wilson is a dangerous procedure, as it tends to stir discontent in the ranks. Doesn't Theodore Roosevelt know why the American soldiers are on the Mexican border? Doesn't every man So a Conference has-been called to consider the shortage, of railroad cars.

All this under the Democratic ad ministration, --tool No wonder the railroad officials, the farmers and the laborers are for Wilson.

The National Guardsmen who have been on border duty have received training such as never before. They have had prac tically wartime experience. This in itself is valuable experience, which would stand them and the country well in hand should war come with any nation. Yet Roosevelt would belittle this policy. He would visit the border States and attempt to sow discontent among the soldiers of the country.

After finishing its job in Europe, can't it be borrowed to use on some of the nuts in this country? that, the speaker didn't answer the question in logical way, or that he "lost his head" and gave a display of ill-temper. So when a spellbinder makes a reply and gets a mighty shout of approval from the audience he need not always think he has got the best of the setto. He may not have made a good play at all, but sim ply has the rooters on his side. There was time when the heckler, not known by name whatever, save j one that some fellow might apply to him when he "butted in" (said title not being a nice adornment for a fam ily newspaper) was promptly greeted with hisses when he raised his voice, and was generally thrown bodily out Bill Spivens imparts the inf orma- meeting.

About the time yesterday when Roosevelt was calling Wilson a hypo crite, a prominent Bull Mooser was telling how Roosevelt betrayed his party. the audience can understand what the chorus in a music show is really say ing when it sings. One happy reflection: Those cold storage egg corners can't play their trade where they will be located in the next world and not because cf a shortage of hen fruit, either. pound a question he gets a hearing. Whether the heckler will survive the present campaign or is merely one of the extraordinarily peculiar happen ings, which the campaign of 1916 has I it is tnip that thpre are some Deo- ple today who are not any more pros perous than they were four years ago, although they have done nothing, either through absence from work or extravagance, to cause this. It is only the natural result of any time, under any administration. It is one of the unfortunate conditions of the financial and business system not only of this country, but of every country. Yet every person who wants to work is working today, when there were thousands out of employment four years ago; tne farmers are more prosperous, the la boring men are better off, in wages and in conditions, and business is on a sounder foundation, while the fac tories are doine more work. So the great majority of people are by far better off, are more prosperous to day than under the administration or President Taft. It would be absurd to make comparison of the Roose velt administration, with its notori ous panicky year of 1907. The Demo cratic doctrine is the "greatest good to the greatest number" and that is the situation today. However, we lay down two propo sitions even to those who are not so urosDerous. First, they would have been worse off but for the soundness and the constructive nature of the Democratic administration; second, they now have opportunities such as they would not had and would never had but for the Democratic re gime. This latter is always worth thinking about. Great opportunities eventually mean more money. A SIGN OF PROSPERITY. All the many county fairs, and the State fairs, too, that have been held report record-breaking attendance. brought to the front and boomed, only j In some instances the attendance time can tell. Talking about adding insult to in jury and qualifying for the honor spot in the Ananias Club, here comes a fellow who declares that Roosevelt will "talk himself to death." There is all the difference in the world in one little letter. For in stance, the Democratic party stands by the people all the time while the Republican party only stands buy them on election day. The chap who complains of the high cost of living under the Demo cratic administration, . better be thankful he is living at all, which would have been doubtful under the The Republican National Commit tee yesterday stated, according to tne mandate of the law, just what it has received in campaign contributions, though the end has not been reached, and there is no way of telling jtist what will be spent, on the side, by Wall Street or how the "devil can be whipped around the stump" and State campaign contributions used for the National purpose. But at that the National committee vomits having received contributions of $1,667,757.29 from 22,226 persons. This represents about $75 a person, which is a pretty stiff average, when the Democratic party is getting its, mostly in one and two-dollar contributions. However, the Democratic party is of the came near being doubled oh certain days. This is only another sign of prosperous times. The country folks kave money. They have sold their products at profitable prices, finding not only a good market, but plenty of credit, due to a financial system that will give the farmer a fair chance. So the people from the country have flocked to the fairs, spending their money and whooping things up in general. As a result, the fairs have grown stronger and the way paved for bigger snows next year, when the country folks will undoubt edly be financially able to make the trip again. There is no reason why they should not be. They have learn ed the lesson of diversification and if i the present sound financial system is! continued., they can always raise the S With the organization of the older business boys' clubs on last Wednes day evening the club organizations in the boys' division of the Wilming ton Young .Men's, Christian Associa tion for the fall of 1916 were com pleted. Each division of the membership in the boys division is divided into pmall group clubs which serve as the medium through which all the activ ities with boys are conducted. Com petition between these clubs run from October until May each year. Each club is organized .with a capitain and an assistant captain and from eight to twelve boys. The clubs meet weekly for Bible study and indoor athletics. A carefully worked out point system is used and points are given for all the activities of the clubs, ad also satisfactory work in day school and Sunday school, arid also, for daily Bible reading. In this way the club work of the boys in the association is linked up with their work in school, church and home. Ihere is an intense rivalry between the clubs, as they strive to make points for the silver loving cups that are awarded each year to the winning teams. A natural grouping is allow-" ed and much is made of .the gang spirit which plays such a controlling part in the lives of boys of these pges. The forty or more character building activities of these clubs cause them to play a very big part in molding the characters of these boys and in training them for definite Christian service. Wilmington is leading the Caro linas in Bible study work for boys, and is putting on this year a program of religious work for boys that will compare favorably with any in the South. . Last year forty-three boys won Bible study .certificates awarded by the International committee. This year the goal has. been set at 75. Al ready nearly 150 boys are taking the Bible study work through these clubs, and many more will join during the next few days. The very best Bible study courses that have been pub lished are used, and carefully trained teachers have been secured for all the clubs.
