ROMIIITIS THE DEMANDS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY By DAVID STARR JORDAN, President of the Letand Stanford University THE FREE PRESS CO., Publishers. We Know is Hard to Between ffee DANIEL T. EDWARDS. ..... ,.Edito. Control. nd South CnMrcd at ih Pottcflic a tacood eiau matur, 5 I in . ii North i THE CHARTER AMENDMENT. - Today we publish the charter amend V merit act aa It hag come from the gen i era assembly. It provide that the mayor and alder- , men shall be elected every two years, !' and that their employees shall hold I ' office at the pleasure of the board. It I also fixes the liquor license at 9150 a ' , year. This is t30 a year more than formerly. The aldermen are empower ed to regulate bathing or swimming in Neuse river within two miles of the j corporate limits. Then one section I requires a new registration of the voters of the town between the 1st and lAth of April. Then comes section eight authoriz ing a bond Issue of 1150,000 for the purpose of "providing and maintain ing a system of water works, sewerage, electric fire alarm system, and im provement of electric light, and streets and public buildings of said town." This is the section that provides Kinston the authority to raise money for her much needed public improve ments. She must have them in order to maintain herself in keeping abreast with her competitors in the race for prominence and position. There nowhere middle ground to be found A do-nothing policy means stagna tion. Kinston must either advance or (all back. The question is, what are we going to do about It? A failure of our plans "now may meaa s set-baekloryears to come. The next typhoid or diptheria epidemic, or other similar disease that afflicts us, may not deal so gently with our people as this past one has. We ; can trust no future as to that We are each one responsible for the common safety from such visitations. Then again the public will not take us seriously until we take ourselves seriously, and equip ourselves with the fundamental heeds of modern city life. The enactment as published in the Free Press today is not altogether : In line with the action recommended by ! the chamber ol commerce. X However the bill has been passed, . and . the Issue now present itself to the voters. ' " We must have the improvements and the best way to get them is for the TOter to by his ballotsee that we get them. - The Free Press would be glad that our citizens use ' its columns in dis cussing the provisions of the amend ment, and the desirability and neces sity therefor. ' : - The Russian empire may be expect ed to make noticeable strides forward in the future now that the Czar has proclaimed religious freedom to his subjects. x . The Greek church has ruled Russia with an autocratic sway, and in conse quence thereof development has been hindered. Especially has this been so In the case of the 5,000,000 Jews that owe alleglence to the Czar. The edict gives them a new chance in life. Every attempt will be made to make the several national guards of the states thoroughly effective and at least a close second to the regulars In effi eiency. Not the least important fea ture of the new Dick law Is that where by an appropriation of $2,500 is made for a trophy to be contested for by the national guards of the various states, we government to pay the expenses of teams to and from the place of contest Governor Aycock has no sympathy with the Wisconsin Idea of holding a conference on the race question. He Is of the opinion that North Carolina needs no heln in attending to hr ah am of the problem. The last general assembly cost the fctate' 170,000.

Balti more American. 1731 century has a host of things to do, bold things, no ble things, tedious things, difficult things, enduring' things. The weak, the incompetent, the untrained, the dissipated, find no growing welcome in the century which is coming. It will have no place for the un skilled laborers. A BUCKET OF WATER AND A BASKET OF COAL WILL DO ALL THAT THE UNSKILLED LA BORER CAN DO if we have skiUpd men for their direction. The unskilled laborer is no product of democracy. He exists in spite of democracy. The lawyers of the future will not be pleaders before juries They will save their clients from need of a judge or jury. In every civilized nation the lawyers must be the lawgivers. The demand of the twentieth century will be that the statutes coincide with equity. v In politics the demand for serious service must grow. As we have to do with wise men and clean men, statesmen, instead of vote manipulators, we shall feel more and more the need for them. WE SHALL DEMAND NOT ONLY MEN WHO CAN LEAD IN AC TION, BUT MEN WHO CAN PREVENT UNWISE ACTION. OFTEN THE PPL1CY WHICH SEEMS MOST ATTRACTIVE TO THE MA JORITY IS FULL OF DANGER FOR THE FUTURE. WE NEED MEN WHO CAN FACE POPULAR OPINION AND, IF NEED BE, FACE IT DOWN. The need of the teacher will not grow less as the century goes on. The history of the future is written in the schools of today, and THE REFORM WHICH GIVES US BETTER SCHOOLS IS THE GREATEST OF REFORMS. Free should the scholar be, free and brave, and to such as these the twentieth century wfl bring" the reward of the scholar. The religion of this century will be more practical, more real. It will deal with the days of the week as well as with the Sabbath. It will be as patent in the marts of trade as in the walls of a cathe dral, for man's religion is his working hypothesis of life, not of life in some future world, but of life right here today, the only day we hare in which to build a life. Our Vinol Is Making: a Won derful Record in Curing This Dangerous Disease. CALL AND LET US TELL .YOU ABOUT IT. Here is a letter that has Just come to our attention. It will interest people suffering from bronchial troubles. It is from Mr. Geo. W. Brown, of So. Han over, N. II., and reads as follows : . " I have suffered with bronchial trou bles for over a year ; tried two doctors and nave taken three or four kinds of medicine, none of which did me any good. At times I was so hoarse I eould not speak. Then I heard of Vinol. After taking three bottles of ! it my voice has perfectly returned to I me. k can see mat in a snort time l will be all right. When I began to taice it i was very weaic, Dut it Has i built me up and given me a good appe- I ute. This is what Vinol alwavs does. This is the way Vinol accomplishes its mission oi aoing trooa. ' Vinol, as we wish every one to know, I owes its power of accomplishing the cures that it effects to the fact that it contains the most wonderful medicinal elements known to science for the cure of all wasting diseases, as well as be ing in itself a marvelous tonic These medicinal properties exist and hare here tofore been found only in cod-liver oil 1 Vinol contains these elements. For by a scienuno process tne necessary cura tive properties of the cod-liver oil have been separated from the fat and grease wnicn formerly made cod-liver oil pre arations so objectionable. As long as Vinol does not eon tain anv of the vile-smelling oil, and is pre-l iroperties with a delicate table wine, i Florida Cuba. A passenger service unexcelled for luxury, and comfort.equipped with the latest Pullman Dining, Sleeping and Thoroughfare Cars. For rates, schedule, maps or any informs tion, write to WM. J. CRAIO, Oencral Passenger Agent, . Wilmington, N. C. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD PLAY . ..... By Rev. A. C DIXON of Boston CONCEDE that there may be good actors, so far aa one can be good whose business is dissimulation,1 but I assert that THERE IS NOT A GOOD PLAY ON EARTH, I draw the distinction be tween dramatic literature to be read and the play to be acted. Playing at religion is debasing to actors and actresses. Playing at marriage and ' divorce on the stage weakens if it does not destroy s the sanctity of marriage and keeps the divorce courts busy. Playing at vice cannot fail, sooner or later, to make an actor vicious, while playing at virtue makes virtue unreal and opens the way for. vice. ., It is one of the discouraging signs of the times today that religious plays are becoming popular. It proves that the religious instinct in theater going people is a thing to play with, and while faith, prayer and praise are feigned it is evi dent that real faith, prayer and praise are lacking. . r When a preacher falls into sin, it creates surprise, and he must at once surrender his pulpit. But not so with the actor. t si it '.' THE THEATER IS THE ONLY POPULAR INSTITUTION IN WHICH A WOMAN MAY ADVERTISE HERSELF BY HAVING A BLACK SPOT ON HER REPUTATION. . W Good actors and actresses are the exception. , If one is known to be moral and religious, the fact attracts attention, and when one falls into sin neither he nor she is compelled to leave ' the stage. When the theater going public hear of it, heir morbid curiosity prompts them to crowd the house and increase the re ceipts. Managers are aware of this and hence are not careful to conceal any scandal which will call an actor or actress more prom' inently before the public. , All this goes to prove that the church, as an institution, is good, and the immoral Christian or preacher is the exception, while HE THEATER, AS AN INSTITUTION, IS BAD, , and - the moral actor or actress is the exception. If a preacher or church member is bad, it is in spite of the church, which would make him good, but if an actor is good it is in spite of the theater, whichas an" institution, tends to make him -bad. , ' ' " . pared by combining the sought-after properties with a delicate table wine, it is a most delicious and palatable preparation. We know of what we speak when we recommend Vinol, and because we do know that . Vinol does all we claim for It, we onhesitatinrly en dorse It, and guarantee at any time to refund the money paid for the remedy if yon are not satisfied it will do all we claim for It. J; E.
