Brevity in editorials was one of the wise suggestion emphasized at the newspaper institute. The "Taft chuckle" is a gem and the former Presidcm -Uses it a a prelude to his witty illustrations with tciiin; effect. The high cost of white paper problem was not gi.lvn at the Chapel Hill meeting, but there were some indi cations that the cloud has a silvery lining somewhere. The report that Von Mackensen's next objective wil be Salonlki, should be cheering news to the Greeks, whosi I neotrality has been ruthlessly abused by the supe io forces of the Allies. ' Mr. Taft told the boys at Chapel Hill the other niirh 'j that while a resident of the White House he had bee 2 interviewed "several times" and that before his ten expired he really got so he liked the newspaper fellow The genial smile of Jimmie Cowan was missed at thi newspaper institute last week. The Wrightsville pres agent missed good time, and his fellow craftsmen re fretted not having his good company. THE CASWELL TRAINING SCHOOL. ; Attention is directed to the synopsis of Dr. C. B. Me Nairy't annual report it superintendent of the Caswel Training School to the board of directors Thursday morn ing, which appears elsewhere. h 4 There are at present 181 enrolled .in the school. Om hundred and fifty-four of these are attending the rcgu lar classes instituted at the school. Twenty-seven ar. not in condition to benefit from any school work what soever. Dr. MoNairy sets forth in his report that it i the aim of the schooliKto train any who may be rapajh of improvement. It is, of course, possible for some o the children to become partially self-sustaining and sonn of them are already contributing to a small decree t their keep. The health of the school hffs been very good only two .deaths being recorded during the past year. Dr. McNairy's budget calls for $233,000 to meet th. urgent needs of the school for the ensuing two years $110,000 in round figures of this amount i3 needed fo new buildings, alterations and equipment, and $183,00' for maintenance. The maintenance budget provides fo the keep of two hundred and fifty pupils for 1917 and fo four hundred in 1018. The Free Press believes that the results already obtain ed with the inadequate facilities and insufficient appropri ation justify public confidence in the institution, and i hopes the legislative will see fit to appropriate us liber ally as possible for the work of the school. The accommo dation of four hundred pupils would 'y tin means care fo all the applicants, who .ieck entrance into the school. A a matter of fact, accommodations for a much larger num ber must be provided as the school gnvs. if the service that it is capable of rendering to the State, is given The Caswell Training School should ultimately have nc rommodations for all of the State's weak-minded nm . subnormal children, who should be t kct f om society fo f.ht benefit of posterity. KINSTON GROWS. One has but to look ahout in any direction within th j limits of Kinston to be convinced that tb capital of I .en !oir grows. Not because of any extraordinary boom o i 'efforts, but simply a normal, healthy ercmirajjinir rowf of the substantial and worth while soit. A few weeks ukd a isiting traveler, wh m fanii! jar with many sections of the count y, inquired: "What' going on here?" 'Von appear to have some excitement " circus in town; what a.vo.mts far all this crowd on yom main street out hero"" The anvwe- was t'nat there wa; - no abnormal crowd or hustle on Queen street; jitst a1 . average ewry-day lot c' -hopper-, lint then many o .these are friend, from the splendid 'prosperous region round about, where gnuv.th is als in evidence, j - The strongest attestation to Kington's growth is th fact that houses, loth residence and business, aie prac lically unobtainable w;th..;it taking tun on the waitinj j , list, and that in spite of the fact that nnuh ouilding i in progress in all sections of the city. For instance ni v observer notes that within a radius of two blocks in on y. section of town more than a dozen Rood substantial home ' have been erected during the past nine months and th. J brick and lumber for the foundations of several other are already placed YesS Kinston grow s! "Great is Kinston and The Free Press tells its -t..rv." i sentence of one year wat considered by many to be In significant in comparison with the enormity of his offense, and now that he is seeking a pardon, after serving but a fourth of his sentence, there is righteous indignation in the community where the young woman was well known and respected. The Free Press believes that the virtue of womanhood will be further menaced if thia man i--pardoned and it hopes that Governor Craig will show no executive clemency to him. His respectable family con nections, which were pleaded in his behalf, make his crimt even more reprehensible and his attempt to show that he was drunk and irresponsible at the time the deed wa committed should have no bearing whatsoever. MUST PROTECT WOMANHOOD. ? While we believe the sympathy of all. who read of th t dastardly attempt to violate the honor of a young worn an passenger on a Pullman car in the depot at Raleigh i ii-w months ago, wat extended to th wife and mothw ' le man Thomas, whoa ascapadV shocked the right g people of the State, their desire to protect th 1 1 of Nrth Carolina is such that they will op ' ' ' :- . ' - JOl -RNALISM AND DEMOCRACY. The masterful address of Dean Walter Williams of tht School of Journalism of Missouri before the newspaper institute at Chapel Hill was an epigrammatic and elo quent tribute to the freedom of the press. Mr. William"?' subject was: "Journalism a New Wea pon for Democracy." He defined Democracy as that "which permits each individual to make the most of his opportunity." He emphasized the fact that the news papers were in easy reach of every man and because they were thus easily obtainable they became at once the greatest medium for disseminating knowledge. They recognize no class and cater to none. Mr. Williams attributed the war in Europe to the cen sorship which has for generations past given to the peo ple only that information colored by official edict and which has withheld real facts. Such censorship, he pronounced as an "accessory before the awful crime of war." Some of his striking epigrams were: "The wages of sin is publicity." "Nothing pleases the evil-doer more than secrecy." "Journalism is a mirror." "No liar can inherit the kingdom of journalism." "News is gossip about facts." "Omit the names in the newspapers and see the cir culation decrease." These and other sparklets conveyed to the minds of his hearers the real mission and function of the newspaper Mr. Williams laid fine emphasis upon the accuracy and truthfulness of American journalism. Because knowledge onveyed in the newspapers :'$ expressed and imparted in common phrases, readable and understandable to '.he weragc mind, the press of America is a most potent far tor for Democracy. o THE NEED OK A HEALTH OFFICER. The need of a whole-time health officer in Kinston has never been more forcefully brought to the attention of the people than is being emphasized just nov?, by the menacing condition with reference to measles. The situation, as has already been related in the news 'olumns of The Free Press, js that a number of chil Iren attending the public schools have contracted measles nd because of the lack of co-operation in the homos, where such children live and where others, who come in ontact with them, have been exposed to the disease, the 'ealth of all the children has been in jeopardy. The lack f co-operation i not unusual nor peculiar to Kinston, for t has been found necessary everywhere to provide proper machinery for safeguarding the public health. Kinston tas not yet made such provision and the school authori ties as well as all other health conservationists are at i serious disadvantage for lack of adequate facilities. Kinston nee 1 a whole-time health offfTicer, properly lualified and empowered to devise and put into effect needed health regulations. Not only is there danger at til times of an outbreak of contagious diseases in th schools because of lack of official facilities far contrul ing the children's diseases, which may appear from time o time, but for the inspection of all food supplies, mar ';ets, milk dairies, etc., which are now powers unto them selves, whereby their customers, the Kinston public, must 'xervise a faith beyond the pale of safety. "FACE PROPOSAL. The peace proposal emanating from Berlin, is given to he people of this section first in The Free Press Tuesday ifternoon, is the best news which has Nen nuMished ance August, l!14, when the match was applied to the tmoldering powder can and the most awf.:l of wars begun The question now is not, who stnrtel the terribh con- lagration? This is no time for the Allies to undertake o lay the full responsibility upon the Germans, o- vice ersa. it takes two to make a fight and such was the ca?c n this instance. Great Britain's spokesmen have in recent months an lounced that there could be no cessation of hostilities un 'il their enemies had been completely crushed, and ap larently plans have been made to carry out such threats 'ruitless as such ends appear from the face of things. Germany's peace proposals do not come at a time when ictory is testing upon the banner of her enemies. Her irmies of th pest have triumphantly contended with and vercome eveiv force, which the Allies could throw igainst them, a id there has been no indication that her ines in the West could be broken. Countless thousands if lives have been sacrificed in the endeavor to do so. The time is now ripe for an honorable peace for al1 lides and there can be no question where the responsi nlity will rest, ;f the Allies turn a deaf ear to the pro osals for peace negotiations. There should be no time ost. The ternole carnage should cease and an armis ice should be granted pending the conclusion of peace igreements, and the work of rehabilitation should begin us early as possible. The Free Pros hopes that President Wilson and his idvisers may utilize the apparent opportunity for joining lands with other neutral powers to bring about such nds now.

Dec. .-Justification for high food prices was held out in part today by Agricultural commis- f sioner Urigham of Vermont before the Southern Commercial Congress on the ground of higher costs of the farmer. While contending that distribution improvement and better cultivation could make conditions .uch that the Nation could feed a billion, he show ed that the farmer must charge high er prices because his lands are not fertile as before.
