October 23. 1914 It is strange that somebody hasn't realized what a splendid opportunity ia now afforded the government Own ership folks to have the government take over lock, stock and barrel, every railroad, cotton farm, lumber camp, ore mine, steel mill, etc., etc., etc. Really, we fear a great chance has been missed. Congressman Henry of Texas n making a desperate effort to have Congress make such a record for long continued session as to be in no dan ger of ever being equalled in .the fu ture. We don't believe the Texan's filibuster will avail anything for him or the cotton situation. If he succeed- in his efforts then all the other industries of the country ought to have an opportunity to get a "lift" from Uncle Sam. We would call to the attention of our esteemed contemporary, The Charlotte Observer, the fact that Gen eral Bibb Graves is not the chairman of the Georgia State Democratic Committee. The gentleman in ques tion is a citizen of Montgomery. Alabama, and was adjutant-general under several governors. General Graves was an aspirant for assistant secretary of war, the position given to General Breckenridge of Kentucky, and his friends were confident for awhile that he would be, appointed. We agree with our contemporary that General Graves' appeal in. behalf of cotton ill-timed, but our Georgia friends have enough to stand sponsor for without taking up the burdens of her sister States. REPUBLICANS SELECT THEIR "GOAT." The Republican district convention held a meeting Thursday in the Court House, us reported in The Free Press, of that dute, and put out a ticket. Mr. W. 0. Dixon, the well known cit lien of Hookerton, wus nominated to make the race for Congress in opposi tion to Democratic Congressman Claude Kitchin, and Messrs. Nathan iel Russell of Cartarct and George Sutton of Lenoir were nominated for State senators from the two senator ial districts. Mr. Dixon is a good citizen, but what he expects to gain out of the race is hard to understand. He probably feels that some of his colleagues have to be the goat and through sheer faithfulness to his col ore he agreed to carry the "burden." He certainly knows that he hasn't the ghost of a chance to be elected or even to get a creditable vote. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Kinston's Chamber of Commerce is a live body, and the visitors, who were present at the annual meeting Wednesday nicht, were so impressed. The men giving the most attention and time to the work of the Chamber are those who perhaps are least bene fitted directly. Of course, everything that goes to the upbuilding of the city benefits the individual. Compar atively speaking the work is being done by the "faithful few" who work for the public good without an de sire for direct and material gain com ing to their on respective businesses, except that which comes to the gen eral welfare of the city. That is as it .should be, but the "faithful few" should be swelled until every pro gressive, wide awake business and professional man in Kinston should be enrolled and be subject to the call of the i directors to do his share of theifoHu Ther.u-no good reason why Kinston's business men, through the Chamber of Commerce, shouldn't conduct regular boosting trips throughout the territory tributary to this dry'. Thfe rural pedple like to have visitors and to get acquainted with their city brothers and a day off now and then for a ride through the country is a good business stroke for Kinstonians. Let us get better acquainted with- the country folk. 1 MR. YOUNG CANDID, BUT WRONG. President Young, in addressing the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night, spoke very candidly about the union depot proposition. He said very emphatically that his road did not expect to erect a depot here until a great many other things, much more needed for the welfare of the coun try through which his lines run, had been done. Kinston people will take issue with Mr. Young on this matter. He said that a new depot would not add one dollar to the income of the railroad or the city, and thus put the building of adequate facilities for taking care of the passenger business in and out of Kinston on a basis of dollars and cents without apparently any other consideration. One of his hearers suggested that a man might take the same view with reference to buying a new suit of clothes. Such a purchase doesn't necessarily add any thing directly to a man's income, al though a neat appearance goes a long way sometimes. A new union depot will add to Kinston's assets very ma terially. The present structures are entirely out of keeping with the pro gress of the city and they only serve to give every man, woman and child, who comes and goes and who passes through and happens to look out of the car windows, a bad impression of thecity, and consequently an unfav orable impression of the railroad. Reasonable people are not going to urge the railroads to build a depot while the period of depression is bearing down upon them. There is more interest in seeing to it, and in helping the railroads and other biir employers of labor in keeping the din ner pail going than in constructive work, but when the depression eases up and new work is again in order Kinston is going to renew its fight for adequate depot facilities, and it is going to do so very vigorously. "The old suit has worn out, and if we want to keep company with good folks we're just bound to buy a new one," is the way we feel about it. WHAT OTHERS SAY YOU ARE RIGHT Kuleiuli Times: "There are sev eral thousand mechanics, brick-layers and other men whose incomes have been cut off in the south, and they have nothing nt all to look for ward to this winter. So it will be seen that some sympathy is due oth ers than cotton planters, who, happily, have many good things to tide them over until another season." SOMETHING WRONG Greensboro Record: "There is something radically wrong with our laws when a reckless driver of any vehicle, automobile or otherwise, can run over two or three people, niacins hme in the hospital and receiving only .ivt. .1.... U -n.Mjr mi) tin mf sireeis. inis was the extent of the punishment inflicted on the driver of a machine who rai amuck the other afternoon when crossing ' Elm st-eet. Judge Brpwn this morning in the city court, gave the defendant the limit of the law, but the law is faulty. If that crowd could have got hold of him when the accident happened, he would at the present writing be unable to work on the streets or probably to breathe. Fortunately they hud trme to cool before the man wa sarrested and nothing happened." A POINT WELLTAKEN Charlotte Observer: "The Raleigh News and Observer, commenting on the fact that Montieello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, is offered to the Government for $500,000, while it is listed for taxes at only $25403, is in clined to draw parallels with the list ing of some property jn North Caro stand. As a matter of fact the ap praisement of Jefferson's old home at the figure stated is in favor of the State, rather than the estate. The value of Montieello to the Govern ment would exist in its worth as an historical memento. The Virginia tax listers assessed the property on; the face of its value as a real estate asset, and robbed of its historical as sociations the assessment leviod would be regarded as a more than ordinarily fair one. Of course Levy should make a gift of the property to the Government hccotjld well of ford to do so but as"Jieprefers to place a money value efl it, the price he fixed for the tearing of his heart strings is not unreasonable."
