the nresident an m-
Utst u i' circulate reports lhat he
soon will order the withdrawal of
Am..i'ii:m t ru.in.-t from Mexico. for
iiir4lv Mr. Wilson does not eontem
plate sin h !i course in the presene
of a continual menace to the horde
state t. If the ahiin':ton govern
merit had any assurance that Carran
y.u ci uld protect the border, if Car
arn.n were even willing to lend
hand in putting down the bandit band
then- would be some reason for hop
ing that the wir department coul
.lixiuino w:th the troop in Mexico-
and on the border. The de facto
government, ho a ever, is unable to
f lllli'l lull. 1 the conditions are no
better today than they were a wet
or a month ago.
The American people, we believe
hud made Lin their minds that law
jiful nnlo. had to be restored in Mex
ico; they are prepared Tor We !,
rifice. if it has to be made, and they
want ihe job completed as soon a
possible. They don t want halt-way
possible. They don't want any half-way
will not .velcome another Vera Cruz
incident.
The American people do not want
to make war on Mexico or any othc
country, but they do want protection
for Americans who ilve in horde
states. If President Wlson can ol
tain this without using tlK army
any longer, the whole country will be
gratified, but the thing needed ju
now is assurance that the army an.
national guardsmen will not be cailec
upon for duty and then returned home
and called upon again.
The appointment of Francis D. Win
ston to the judgeship tto succeed the
late Judge R. B. Peebles was a happy
selection. There is no man in the
state more versatile than the former
lieutenant governor, none wno is moit
congenial, and none who has more
warm friendship. To know ranK
Winston is to like him. That he is
a finished lawyer there is not the
slightest doubt and that he will make
an excellent judge his past record is
proof.
Baseball
Summary
r
The (ireensboro News says that
Jim Kelly's Goats won 14 games dur
ing the first half, and it looks like
tln-v will better their record during
the second period.
The Germans evidently want to as
sist God in "strafing England," judg-
iiu- bv their blows on the English
lines.
This Fourth of July was as quiet
as Durham or Raleigh after the home
team has lost a ball game.
Wouldn't Walter Johnson be a val
n.1,1 nu iiiit for a hand urenade con
tingent?
And mavbe the Russians will break
the camel's back.
CONSEIIYING THE RACE
Naturally everybody takes great
pride in fine cows, horses and hogs
regardless of their owners, but few
people consider it worth while to
trouble themeselves about the condi
lions that surround a family here or
elsewhere. Conservation of the hum
an family is a subject that interests
but a small part of the people.
A case like that reported near
tonover the other day should never
be allowed to occur in a state where
we are taught to believe that we are
our brother's keeper. Probably it
occur twenty-live years
but it should be prevented
could not
from now
now.
It is not enough that children of
the shiftless or feeble minded shall
be provided for by the state or some
charitable organization. Children
should be denied those who are notor
iously weak mentally or physically,
or who have committed offenses that
would bring reproach on their pos
terity. It is a crime against the chil
dren of unfortunates in many cases
and a leaser crime against society.
North Carolina will tackle the prob
lem some of these days of preventing
feeble-minded and criminal from sin
ning against future generations, and
that will be better than establishing
homes for defectives.
MAY PUNISH LYNCHERS
Very quietly Solicitor Shaw went
about the tedious business of endeav
oring to "work up evidence against the
men who lynched Joe Mack, an old
negro man whose offense was that
he tried to assist his son to escape,
Judge W. M. Bond, who is a conser
vative, happens to believe that the
constitution was adopted to safeguard
the rights of the people and that the '
courts were created to uphold the laws,'
and punish evil-doers, and will stand
by the solicitor. j
The lynching of this negro man
by a Greene county mob followed
shortly on the heels of a lynching!
at Goldsboro and gave the state a1
further shock. j
Public sentiment all over the state
is for law enforcement anil against j
mob violence, with the exception ot
the communities in which the crimes
occur, but a wholesome application
of prison terms will change the view-,
point of lynchers even in Greene coun
ty. We hope Solicitor Shaw will
not lose his nerve; we are positive
Judge Bond will stand by the state
in this affair. .

They're having a sort of epidemic
of law enforcement in Catawba and
we gain the impression from the Ca
tawba papers that it is partially due
to a sort of rivarly between the coun
ty court at Newton and the record
er's court at Hickory, or rather to the
feeling of citizens of the two towns
Some citizens of Hickory were arrest
ed and fined in the county court at
Newton for infractions of the auto
mobile speed laws, Mayor Whitener
of Hickory being a victim. Thereup
io the solicitor of the county court at
Newton, Mr. Jesse Sigmon, was in
die ted in the recorder's court at Hick
ory for running an automobile with
out a proper number. He plead guilty
-Mid was fined $5. While the motives
behind these prosecutions may or may
not be commendable, the citizenship
eenerally will, we take it, encourgae
the good work. Officials charged
with the enforcement of the law
should be made to take their medi
cine along with the common herd
when they fail to observe the regula
tions they are charged with enforcing
on others.

THE END OF AN ILLUSION
New York Evening Journal.
Capt. Morey's account of the Carri
zal fight should end one illusion
which seems to be widely held, even
in military circles. The American
commander at that skirmish "was
under the impression that the Mexi
cans would run as soon as we fired."
They did not run, and they cannot be
trusted to run on other occasions,
until persuaded by hot, well directed
fire or the close approach of an un
wavering line of bayonets. There are
no Mexican soldiers like those who
are mauling each other at Verdun
and may heaven be thanked for that
mercy! but Carranza has troops
plenty good to give our little army
a warm reception.
That our men will win is fore
doomed, and the sooner they start the
sooner the task will be finished. It
i. said to be the universal feeling
in Washington that there will be
war within a week". Why we
hould wait a week or an hour, un
less for some reason which has not I
been made public, the Journal fails
to see; but a few days more or less
will not change the situation. We
were slow about going into Cuba, too,
but we did a thorough piece of work
when we started.
A SHINGLE PHONOGRAPH
A phonograph recently constructe
by a high school boy, and described
;n the Popular Science Monthly, has
is its reproducing part nothing more
pretentious than an ordinary single
with the point of a darning needle
-securing fastened in one corner,
steel knitting needle, clamped in
laboratory ring-stand, is thrus
through a hole in the shingle to sup
port it as it as it is carried over the
record. The record is mounted upon
a wooden turn-tame constructed as
follows: A disk is made of three
Miiarter-mch wood, with a groove in
the edge, mounted on the hub am
ixle of an old bicycle wheel, so that
;t can turn easily. This is connected
with an ordinary battery motor by
means of a cord belt. Pressure of
the thumb and finger on the shaft of
the motor regulates the speed of the
disk. Records can be played back
ward simply by twisting the belt
THE DEI) GO DEVIL
!ulletin of the National Tax Asso.
The Colorado tax commission had
ordered Mr. Cartwright, the asses-
or ot utero county .to increase the
valuation on all motorcycles by fifty
per cent. This action brought speedy
response from a Japanese resident of
the county, as follows:
"Horn tex ctmmision and Hon
omision bord and kartrite: Gents:

TO ENABLE BLIND TO READ
(By the Associated Press.)
Vienna, July 5. Dr. Max llerz,
well known Vienna scientist, has in
vented a sort of combination of talk
in x machine and telegraph which will
enable the blind to "read" with far
greater ease than the present cum
bersomu and costly Braile books.
The principle of the new device lies
in the conveying of "Morse" or other
telegraphic signs, to the blind through
the sense of hei-rirg. On the ma
chine are placed sma'l records, each
ofwhich may contain a whole story
written out in cod?.
To produce these records a further
instrument composed of two Morse
keys and electric sounders, is re
quired; the sounders being connected
with a needle which cuts into the pre
pared wax record. The records con
sist only of long and short sounds
low prices.
It is proposed through this medium
and they can be sold at extraordinary
to issue a daily newspaper for the
blind.

"Mother, what would you do if
some one broke the large vase in the

"I would whip him," responded

"Well, you better get ready. Papa
broke it."

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Syivania Woods, of Clifton Miljs, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
ton'S sShe says further: "Before 1 began to use
Lardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
y trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
