The decision of this case will b binding on both tides.

Mr-Alfred P, Thorn caWT counsel for the Southerr j Railway and representing a large porportlou of the rail . road Interests of ithe country, speaking before the join' 1 Congressional Committee Thursday and Friday made out a very good case and Incidentally gave some sound advice The burden of Mr. Thorn's testimony was that the rail roads had been regulated to a point that tbey could not guarantee either efficient scrvico to the public or satis factory return to the investors. There Is little doub that the railroad have suffered from unnecessary legls latlon and attempts at regulation, which were unwisel; made. We mut not be unmindful, however, of the arro gant attitude of the railroads with reference to the pub lie and governmental authority a few years aj,M befor it became the fashion to enact so many regulative mra lifts. We agree with Mr. Thorn th;it the lnve.tlgator now snoura look into the nwter from its present a spec and undertake to siirgis.t remedies for the problem!' which confront the railroads today rather than rattle thi bones of Itypron? miamunnifement and arrojraiic. The Free Press believes that the railroads should b given all tho encouragement possible. They perform I very essential function In tho prosperity and develop ment ot the country ami such development, as Mr. Tlior forcefully states, is dependent upon the Increased faclli tlea of the railroads. They must be encouraged to g lnfto new territory and make the resources of such ter riiory more easily noveiopoa. Assurance must he g.vei those, who would Invest in railroad stock, that they wil get a fair return and that 'their interests will not tx Jeopardized by harsh, unreasonable or unwise legists Boa anttmetlca to the interests of the roads. On th ether band, the railroads must recognise and nerhap. .L 1 1 I . . i ... wtj nave learnea me leason wen ny now The power anc , authority of governmental agencies to care for the in toratta ef the public, whom they serve, and to insist upo?

LET THE DOLLARS BEGIN TO MOVE! The local finance committee of the Wilson-Marshall campaign fund is endeavoring to bring up Lenoir's part of the deficit of $300,000 incurred by the National Com mittee and appeals to the Democrats hereabouts to do their part. A good Democrat went into the office of Chairman N. J. Rouse of the committee a day or two ago and left a dollar, saying that he could not do more but wanted to have a part. His action has prompted the com mittee to suggest that .Lenoir's pro rata share of the de ficit might easily be made up of dollar and two dollar subscriptions and it urges all who can to follow the ex ample of lihe faithful Democrat, who set the ball in mo tion. The time I? short. It Is desired that the final In bailment of the fund be sent to headquarters I'.he first of the week. Subscriptions can be made to either Messrs. N. J. Rouse, J. G. Dawson, Dr. J. M. Parrott of the commf tee or to The Free Press, if more convenient. Let the dollars begm to move. Tho bellboys association is considering raising ths price of Lips, for fetching Ice water and a her consideration shown the guests, from ten to fifteen cents. One item In the high cost of living program, which we will tak'e un der advisemcn'. and stand for if we are so minded and not otherwise. it is quite evident mat Koumania miscalculated in spite of the deliberate manner in which she went a I out making the trade. "IS A 'PERSON' A 'HE'? AND IF SO. ETC." Richmond New Leader: "Is a 'person' a 'he'? If so. an a woman bo a 'person'? If not, 1 Miss Jeanette Ran kin of Montana, egillble under the constitution to the seat ,n the United State3 House of Representatives to which he has been elected? These are questions now raised ) the literatists and strict constructionists. ' "The constitution of the United States, Article I., lause 2, provldos that 'no person shall be a representa- Ive who shall not have attained the age of 25 years,' etc., 3ut the clause ends with referring to the "no person" as 'he.' Up to that point Miss Rankin has unchallenge- ibly all the necessary qualifications, though there is one Jrblch possibly, after the manner of her kind, she might prefer not to confers. But that point is the point. Un-, ler the clause, obviously, right to a seat in the body would ecm to hinge on the word 'he or the contruetion there of. "Yet hold on. Another cuuse of the constitution pro- ides that each House shall be the judge of the elec- ions' returns and qualifications of its own members. It vould, therefore, appear that even if a 'person' is not a he, the question would, through that clause, resolve it- lelf into one of persona grata or persona non grata. In he circumstances, would any committee on privileges and elections have the temsrity, even if they had the ungal ant disposition, not to take the former position? "Again, and outside of all this, there Is interesting his orical and dramatic precedent for solving such pro'j ems, constitutions or no constitutions. The Hungarian louse of magnates, It will be remembered, cut the Gor llan knot or a somewhat similar complication, and cir jumvented the Salklaw by swearing that Maria Theresa as their 'king.' Is it to be presumed that a United States House of Representatives Hfould be or could be less hivalrous, If necessary? Perish the thought. And so, -egardless of tho merits or demerits of female suffrage, ve feel safe in congratulating Miss Rankin us certain Tt there." Representative Adamson is right in saying that the 'Interests of the public must be considered" by both the ailroads and their employes. A point The Free P.css las endeavored to emphasize repeatedly since tho threat mcd tlo-up of the traffic of the country. The people will ay the bill In tho long run; their patronage makes pos il'de both the existence of the railroads and the comfort- ible living condition of the employes; they have a say nd well It is that our law-making 'representatives keep 'he public's interest In mind. General Goethals sounds a splendid truth in bis re- "ort to Secretary of War Baker on the Panama Canal, when In refuting the criticisms of tho work, he declares 'their (critics) little knowledge makes them dangerous." Vlany a good work has suffered Immeasurably because of ho criticism of somo ignoramuses, who have acquired nly a speaking acquaintance with the subject.

The action of the Chamber of Commerce in setting in notion definite plans for calling an election for a bond vsue sufficient to properly build an adequate system of ighwavs in Lenoir county is most gratifying. An cn bling act was passed by the Legislature sometime ago, nuking it possibles for a bond issue not excelling $250,- '00 for this purpose to bo voted by the people. Spasmo llc attempts from time to time, since the enabling act ;.s passed, hivo bo.n made by the commissioners, who ave fought shy of calling the election. There has been feeling that ihe people of the county would vote down he bonds. The Free Press believes that it Is evident to every in- clligent man in the county that tho present plan of road- milding will nevitr materialize Into a desirable system. ertainly not in the life of the present generation. An dequate system, absolutely essential for the proper de elopment of every section of this splendid county, can- lot be built unless a bond issue providing the money herefor Is passed. The Free Press has confidence in the ntelligence of the people in thhj county to see that situ- ttlon and when f iven an opportunity The free Press be- ieves that the voters of Lenoir county will manifest their ntelligence and profresaiveness by voting for good roods. 'Tnquestlonably every rote that la cast against the bond saue will be but placing an obstacle in the way of the j nan, who so casta bJg rete as well ma his neighbor. The alue of good roada In the upbuilding of any section of be country is no longer In the theoretical stage. Conrino ng evidence (n abundance has been given, and wherever he greateat development ef rural communities baa taken ilace there will be found the beat system of roads con-j lectin producer and consumer, farmer and market.
