From the Manufacturers Record. When men—men of peace, men of love for their fel- low-man^put aside the calls, the honors, the profits of business, and cut loose from the tender ties that bind them to their homes and loved ones, and offer themselves as a sacrific \ if need be, upon the altar of their country's honor and safety, men who have not made the army their profession or life work but men who, in volunteer State militia or national service, hear and answer the nation's call, hating war, but bravely, heroically preparing to battle for their country, the rest of us should stantkwith uncovered heads as they go marching by. Not all the wealth of Mexico’s mountains, bulging with mineral riches; not all the half-bree bandits who are robbing and murdering each other, are worth a good, honest American soul; but the nation may have a duty to humanity to perform far broader than to save Mexicans from each other, and a duty to our honor and our flag in protecting our people from murderous marauders. We are facing a problem greater than Mexico itself. In this hour of mighty responsibility every man who believes in prayer—and who is there that doe.s not. even though some may loudly deny it?—should pray that the Almighty Ruler of the Universe shall guide our officials,, give them wisdom and strength from on high, and shall so lead the people of misguided Mexico that they may see the true way to the large>t civil and religious liberty and national prosperity; that the horrors of war. for their sakes and ours, may., by.diyihe guidance, be averted. ^ Our prayer should be that we may know the way in which God would lead us, and that as a nation we may seek not the path of ease and comfort, but the sublime path^bf duty, wherever that may lead us. “Duty.” said Robert Lee. the kingliest man of all the ages, “is the noblest word in the English language.” Those who have heeded the nation’s voice are following the call of duty as they see it. And ybt many a man who would gladly join them is a greate/'nero for staying at home that he would be in going: Home responsibilitties keep many men from vol unteering. and many thus held at home would really be cowards if they went, because they would be shirking un* shirkable responsibilities to those dependent upon them. Not unless the nation’s life was at stake would such men be justified in volunteering for military service.' Those who stand and wait, or who carry on the business affairs that make possible the maintenance of an army, may number among their members many a hero as true as those on the battlefield. " . ^ . ' But for those who. out of war, seek to reap exorbi tant profits { who, like the buzzards, strive to fatten on death itself; who are in evidence where profits are to be made, but never where d mgers are to be fared—for such even'hell itself seenis too good. (iol bless the heroes who can and do. answer thejf- country’s call! God bless the homt ^ whose duty compels them t<> re main at home! LIGHTNING KILLS | MAN AT WIGGINS K. W. Brabham Instant I jr Killrxl by Stroke of Lightning |<jo.t ' Thursday. Wiggins. 8. U... July 3.—-Tho | community was shocked and j grieved last Thursday by the sudden death of R. \V., Brabham.

CARRANZA SAID TO BE mELDING 4 • > HOPES NOW THERE WILL BE NO WAR WITH MEX. ' ICO AT PRESENT 1ST REGIMENT OFF! Expected that First S. 4’. Regiment Will Ixuive for Border l,a*t of Tills Week. An unexpected turn in events may yet avert war . with Mexico, is tho opinion of many officials as express ed in today s papers. The note from (’arrunza, the First C’liief of Mexico, in replj; to the demands of Secretary Lansing, is said to be /ery concilia tory, and President Wilson is re ported as saying that he will meet the Mexicans over half way to avert war. This note will be read today by tlte President.' and if it pleasps the (’abinet officials, it is likely that further negotiations will avert war.
