There is one thfrtg 'certain, that re
gardlen of his spell-binding ability,
the office-seeker who goes up against
the suffragette will he out-talked.
Some of the newspapers think the
recent election in South Carolina was
more of a compromise than a victory
for the people.
o-
The senators and congressmen who
have to seek re-election this year have
to face a new proposition: they have
to meet the suffragette on the stump
and tell just how they stand;
In the mean time the Old Domin
ion continues its "battle" of rum and
no rum, and holds up false statistics
of imaginary situations that do not
exist in other places as the terrible
conditions that will prevail if rum
loses.
o
The task of Col. Osborn's flunky
In reading the papers to him after
the war news has been thrown out is
not a very onerous one, for it only
leaves the head line on the front page
and a few "sticks" of unimportant
matter elsewhere to be perused.
o
We don't know where the censors,
handling the European war Dews
came from, but it would appear from
their ability to "claim all" for their
respective sides that they had been
trained in the advertising depart
ments of some patent medicine con
cerns. .
Colonel Osborn is the only man, so
far, on record, who does not read the
war news. He snys he believes in re
specting the wishes 'of the President,
and the only way to keep from hav
ing an opinion is not to know who
hus wen or lot. He has his facto
tum to icr.il the pant-r to him while
ho (have au.l his instructions are
very rigid thnt no war news is to be
included.
In spite of international rule en
deavoring to make war more humane,
there has been ?lo difference in the
present conflict nd those waged cen
turies ago. The atrocities have, if
anything, been even more revolting
No time has been given for csring for
the dead or wounded. Bamla of mer
ry have been fired on. Unarmed men,
defenseless women and children and
non-cumbatanta have been ruthlessly
lalt with, and still we live in an ad
vanced age, art enlightened and Chris
tian age. Every effort looking to a
restoration gf peace should be encour
aged. THE WATER
SVPPLY.
A good many people
have been boiling 'tBeh
in KinMun
vater since
the first warning was given by the
city authorities, and It is wise that
they have done so, foi the analysis
by the State Board of Health, which
has just been received shows the
presence of colon bacilli, which is
commonly known as the typhoid fe
ver germ. The city authorities are
taking steps to locate the source of
contamination, and will no doubt do
everything within their power to re
move the cause as quickly as possible.
In the mean time every consumer

j ; SUCSUUES TO TIIS FREE rRESS
THE MATTER OF
LAW i KNFOBCEMENTv
" I !ftia" irnnregsion has eotten out in
I ... .
; apii' that The Free Pkm
article appearing in last Friday's is-
sue, headed "The Grand Jury's Fail
ure.", was , misleading with' reference
.... -7. '
to the putt the city officials had play
ed in the enforcemtnt of tha Jaw with
reference to'" vagrants. A careful
reading of the article will remove
that impression, but let it be said here
that The Free Press endeavored to
give-the city officials-credit for all
they had done. It. was shown in
Judee Daniels' examination of the
situation that the police had, in ac
cordance with the law, presented the
women of questionable character in
the mayor's court once a month, and
that the mayor had fined tawm a nom
inal sum each month. This fact has
been repeatedly set forth both in the
editorial and news columns of The
Free Press, and there has been no
reason for any other impression to
have been given. There has been no
desire to do the mayor or his sub
ordinates any injustice In this mat
ter, but the fact that his course in as
sessing a nominal fine, which was vir
tually a license, has lain him liable
to criticism is no fault of The Free
Press. It is a condition of fact which
exists here and which must be rem
edied. The Free Press has not sub
scribed to the view that the mayor
has acted in bad faith in this matter,
and this suggestion has been heard on
the streets, but it does feel that his
course was very unwise and it has
accepted the view that Judge Dan
iels took of the matter that the con
dition was more largely the result of
a system or rut that had been gotten
into than a wilful desire.
The Free Press believes that the
mayor will, with the new light on the
situation and with the backing of the
citizens of this city, be able to cor
rect the evil to a large extent, and
The Free Press calls on every good
citizen and pledges its own support
to that end. There mus tbe very
aggressive and vigorous action upon
the part of the officials and citizens
n this matter.

Winston-Salem Journal: "We have
it on the word of Senator Simmons
and his word is usually correct on
matters in Washington that Jhe
government is not going to levy a
special war tax on manufactured to
bacco. This being the case the to
bacco farmer should not be made to
suffer on account of the war. Leaf
tobacco should bring as much this
year as last, and will if the manufac
turers will co-operate with the gov
ernment as the government has shown
a disposition to co-operate with them
The reason no war tax will be lev
ied on the manufactured product is
in order that the tobacco manufactur
er may be able to pay more for the
raw material. This action is taken
by the Wilson administration, upon
the urgent request of Senator Sim
mons, mainly for the benefit of the
people who raise tobacco. And the
Wilson administration expects the
manufacturers of tobacco to pay the
farmers high prices and to purchase
the entire crop, even though it will be
impossible to import much of the leaf.
And since currency is to be issued
on stored tobacco we see no earthly
reason why the manufacturers in thus
country can't purchase the entire crop
at as high prices as were paid last
year."

ClyTO.YVANTWTRUST BILL
,,, Washingxn.- Aug. 31. Efforts : to
make more stringent provisions of the
Clayton anti-trust bill against hold
ing companies failed in the Senate
yebterday with a single exception.
The bill prohibits the organization
of a holding company or the pu .hase
of stock by one corporation in anoth
er "engaged in an interstate commerce
when the effect cf such may be sub
stantially to lessen competition. The
amendment accepted struck out the
word "substantially," broadening the
arope of - the" provision somewhat.
Senator Reed sought to prohibit all
holding companies and stock pur
chases in competing companies, but
was voted down. Senator Cummins
introduced a similar amendment,, but
excepting banks and railroads which
aIo was defeated.
