Kaiser Bill or whoever was renpon
sible for the war certainly played the
mischief, and the offender ought to
be tried for malicious mischief aggra
vated and given the limit of the law
on each count.
It in gratifying to people of this
section thut none of the trains run
ning between Goldsboro and Greens
boro are to be taken off, and to those
who ride them it has not appeared
that there is any material dropping
off in the patronage.
The police reports for circus day
show a remarkable record for good
order. There was little rowdyism in
evidence, and only two or three of
fenders were taken up. The Indians
and other attaches of the show visit
ed the business district between their
performances, but they didn't find
any "fire water," and hence did not
add to their bunch of scalp feathers.
Just another testimonial to the vir
tue of a soloonless town.
The Free Press reporter demon
strated that he was a real newspaper
man and not afraid to enter most any
place when he "scooped" an inter
view from "Old Iron Tail," the Sioux
Chief of Custer Massacre and Buf
falo nickel fame. The old fellow is
considerably more tame than he used
to be, though, may it be said with
out any disparagement to the "valor"
of the scribe.
When the city sanitary officer is
commissioned he should not only be
backed up by the milk and meat in
spection, anti-spitting, and other san
itary laws now on the statute books,
but an adequate provision should be
made for the elimination of the fly
breeding places. The proper disposi
tion of the droppings from the sta
bles now and on until the summer
comes again will do much to reduce
the crop of flies next year.
Some of the young men of town
have acquired the habit, it is alleged,
of congregating on the corners near
the Caswell monument late at night
and indulging in loud and quite fre
quently profane and indecent lan
guage, which is objectionable to the
residents of that section of town.
Some complaint has been made, and
it Is asserted by the residents that
further complaints will be lodged and
action taken unless the practice is
stopped. A hint to the wise should
be sufficient.
Among the trains, which the Cor
poration Commission's withdrawal
permit to the Southern included, are
trains Nos. Ill and ;S, the -solid Pull
man no-pass Now York to New
Orleans limited. For years these
trains have been down on the South
ern's schedules, and patrons of the
line will be glad to see the time come
when they will be reinstated. They
are among the South's best equipped
and fastest through trains, and the
officials of the Southern should not
take them off unless it is absolutely
necessary, and if they are taken off
they should be put back as soon as
-conditions warrant.
ASSURANCES FROM
K. R, OFFICIALS
The people of Kinston and those
living along the line of the Norfolk
Southern from Goldsboro to New
Bern will ncte with interest the
statement of General Passenger
Agent Leard, printed in Wednes-

ment in the passenger service so long lce make8 one mbre 'strong addition

ent schedules. these measures."
Traffic Manager Kyle, who accom
panied Mr. Leard, remarked that he
wanted the people to know that offi
cials of the Norfolk Southern were
optimistic. He spoke of the good for
tune of eastern Carolina in having
its splendid tobacco- crop to fall back
on and not wholly dependent upon
cotton, as are some of the other sec
tions of the State and the South. Cer
tainly the wisdom of crop diversifica
tion has been impressed upon people
of this section by the experience of
this year. Messrs. Kyle and Leard
spoke of the better feeling that seem
ed to exist between the railroads ana
the people now, and they seem to ap
preciate the necessity for a closer co
operation.
o
CUTTING OUT
LOCK STEP
Warden Wells of the Kentucky
State Prison, in speaking before the
American Prison Association in ses
sion in St. Paul a few days ago, ad
vocated the elimination of the "lock
step," "silent system" and other in
human methods which have been in
use at the various large penitentiar
ies throughout the country for many
years. Mr. Wells urged that kind
ness be the underlying principle of
the disciplinarian measures pursued
and said he thought the prisoners
should have the right to appeal to the
warden at the end of any day's work.
Mr. Wells' advocacy was based on his
experience that kindness would win
where the old brutal methods would
not. The idea has too long prevailed
among those who have to do with
criminology that harsh and severe
treatment was necessary in order to
make the unfortunate lawbreaker
corrigible. It is no doubt true that
many a man has been forced to lead
a criminal career juat because he had
fallen once, and was branded with the
ock step or other prison brand for
ife and because he was hounded by
petty detectives after his release and
prevented from making a"h honest
ivelihood. The words of Mr. Wells
were very timely, and it is to be hop
ed that the other wardens, who heard
him will follow his example and sug
gestions. The time is coming when
the "lock-step," "water treatment"
and other relics of barbarism in pris
on methods are to be relegated, and
the sooner the better. It is a dis
grace to n civilized country that they
have been allowed this long.
N. C. APPLES WORLD'S BEST
Charlotte Observer: "Some of the
North Carolina readers of The Ob
server were inclined to doubt its
statement that apples are selling in
western New York at $1.50 a bushel.
Let us see what evidence we can pro
duce: The New York Packer is good
authority. Through the Rochester
section it quotes "Greenings," what
ever that may be, selling at top
notch at $1.25 a barrel, Baldwins
hardly getting a bid at that figure,
and Kings, evidently a fine grade,
bringing only $1.50. Other apples
are quoted as low as $1 a barrel. In
the western part of North Carolina
apples are bringing $2.50 and up a
barrel, but these apples are the finest
grown in the world, and are holding
in firm demand, notwithstanding the
tremendous crop the orchards yielded
the past summer. When it comes to
apples, North Carolina i3 an easy i
winner alike for quality, quantity and
prices."

AN AWAKENING IN
PHILADELPHIA
Richmond News Leader: 'Discuss
ing the differences in Congress touch
ing the Philippines bill, the Philadel
phia Evening Ledger shows incident
ally how the light continues to break
at the north over the crime of South
ern reconstruction. The real issue as
respects the Filipinos, says our con
temporary, is not whether they shall
ultimately have self-government, it
is, have they proved themselves wor
thy of a more liberal share in their
own government?
Then, in supporting its contention,
the Ledger, after dwelling upon the
gravity of the responsibilities we as
sumed in taking over the islands
warns both sides to the controversy
and both parties that it is imperative
that we should not repeat the "mis
take mat was made in tne recon
struction period of our own history.
The Fifteenth amendment is, the
Ledger admits, 'a dead letter,' and it
justifies the killing on the ground and
'for thevsimple reason' that 'previous
condition of servitude is something
that absolutely must be considered in
any grant or extension of political
liberty.' Especial significance will be
recognized in the Ledger's admission
and commitment, when the 'tradition
of Philadelphia,' respecting equal
rights for the 'man and the brother'
are recalled."
"The Ledger urges 'patient waiting'
in our 'colonial policy,' and in So do
ing, shows that through 'patient wait
ing the South is coming to find vin
dication of her policy regarding the
reconstruction amendments, at the
hands even of aforetime most viru
lent denunciators of it."
