MARKETS
If the Kinston High School team doesn't go for New
Bern this afternoon we will just quit rooting for the
boys, that's all.
Mr. Gobbler is already beginning to. shed his feathers
for the occasion. Many housewives prefer to kill the
noble bird a day or two in advance and huve everything
in readiness for the annual feast.
Old Glory has been hauled down from the flag-staff at
Vera Crui and the boys are joyous with the prospect of
letting foot upon the old home soil once more, (leneral

the army and navy for proper deportment and the "clean
up" methods and high state of order that prevailed in the
Mexican city, during their stay, made many friends
among the natives, who were loathe to see them depart.
The local palmist, whose actions prompted the drastic
ordinance, adopted by the City Council last week, is obdu
rate, and proclaims that he will contest the constitution

ties will make a ease against him each day that he vio

sentences will have a "convincing" way about them, all
their own. It might not be out of place to suggest that
the appeal bonds be fixed at the maximum limit and
secured beyond doubt, or else a "voluntary forfeiture"
might be noted when the Superior Court is ready to take
op the cases.
BREAKING UP
, GAMBLING
The Free Press is glad to see that the Sheriff and his
assistants have begun a crusade on the gamblers, who
infest the forest region of the Neuse on Sundays and
holidays. In the raid Sunday, Sheriff Taylor thinks there
were more than fifty participants and "lookers on," many
of whom were hoys yet in their teens. Gambling is one
of the great evils that beset a community, and many a
talented boy has been led to the very lowest level by its
degrading influence. The great trouble the officers of the
law have in breaking up "public" gatherings is the luck
of legal evidence. The gamesters have to be cuught with
the "goods on them," bo to speak, end that is almost
impossible. Sooner or later the law-makers will neces
sarily have to provide laws that make it easier to con
vict gamblers and keepers of bawdy houses. There are
certain indications that should be prima facie evidence
of guilt, and the burden should full on the suspects to
prove that appearance were deceiving. It has always
DIVERGENCE NULLIFIED
PLAN
The Raleigh News and Observer says:
"Some say the Huy-u-Iialc movement had no results
at all; rw say it hud bad results, and sonic say it was
one of the best things that ever happened. The men who
got ten cents for their cotton arc, however, not among
the doubters."
Unquestionably there w. re some who benefited from the
wave of hysteria which swept the country, and no doubt
many worthy farmers, who could not arrange to hold
their cotton, were enabled to sell it at the "inflated" price.
From the general aspect, the cotton .situation does not ap
pear to have received any benefit. The lack of market
was the trouble, und is still causing the depression in
prices. The law of supply and demand governed the sit
uation, as it has always done. The supply was greater
than ever before, and the demand was curtailed. The
"biiy-a-bale" plan simply transferred the cotton in its
iuw state from one owner to another and from reports,
we are led to believe that little of the cotton so sold has
been converted into the finished product for marketing
In fact, most of the local cotton that was bought in the
"buy-n-bule" movement is still occupying prominent
places on the sidewalks, and is proving, as it was in
tended, a good advertisement for the purchasers. At the
outset The Free Press advocated the plan, for it felt that
relief would be given to some of the needy farmers. The
movement, quite early after its inception, however, as
sumed the role of "advertising medium" and the newspa
pers were flooded with great stacks of "literature" telling
of the magnanimous purchase of a "few hundred bales
by the "So and So Company of ." The divergence
of the movement completely overshadowed its original
object, and practicully nullified the plan.

JUDGE (LARK
AGAINST RECALL
Chief Justice Wulter Clark, of the State Supreme
Court, in writintr to Mayor Sutton, says: "I notice that
the Kinston Free Press is quoted as saying that I have
always favored the Recall. I have always done exactly
the (iimiisile. Mr. Brvun has favored the Recall, and
President Wilson did at one time. But. I have always
opposed it."
The editor of The Free Press has been under the im
pression that the Chief Justice was a Recall advocate.
At the time of the unseemly attack of Mr. Rome G
Brown of Minneapolis on the distinguished Chief Justice,
on the occasion of the State Bar Association meeting the
past summer, on the ground that he favored the Recall,
The Free Press condemned the remarks of Mr. Brown as
being untimely and uncalled for; and later, when Mr.
Brown repeated hi attack on the occasion of the National
Bar Association, did likewise, but in neither instance was
The Free Press apprised of the fact that Judge Clark
was opposed to thf Recall, and its criticism of Mr. Brown
was on the ground that Judge Clark was sincere in his
convictions, and bad a right to his opinions, and that
they should not necessarily subject him to unwarranted
attacks ns those of Mr. Brown. Further, in his letter to
Mr. Sutton, Judge Clark refers to Mr. Brown, and says
that an extract from a Minneapolis paper, where Mr.
Brown lives, stated (hat he was counsel and lobbyist
for (he Northern Pacific Railroad and Standard Oil Com
pany, and that he was making a scries of speeches at
different bar associations, being paid by those corpora
tions. The Free Press is very glad to be set right wt-h
reference to Judge Clark's position and to infojrtn its
readers, who may have been misinformed by-the previous
articles in The Free Press, relative to the matter.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
CATTLE RAISING PROFITABLE
Charlotte Observer: "Cattle grow
ing in the mountain counties of North
Carolina has had considerable of an
impetus in the past two years. Those
who have gone into it have been mak
ing money and that fact has proved
the stimulus. Ashe, Alleghany and
Watauga counties have been making
the most rapid advances in the cattle
industry. Prices are higher now than
they have been since cattle-growing
became an industry. In New Jersey
last week 17 head of Virginia cattle
were sold at $10.75 per hundred
weight, or at an average of $U4 a
head. This was the highest price
known in over thirty years. It was
perhaps an exceptionally fine lot of
cattle, but it serves as an indication
of the direction the stock market is
taking."
EVADING LAW PART OF
BIG BUSINESS
Wilmington Star: "Already North
em bankers and manufacturers who
have been conducting their business
with interlocking directorates have
found a way to evade the Clayton anti-trust
law which prohibits a direct
or of on institution from serving on
the board of directors of allied cor
porations. The law declares that af
ter two years from its enactment no
person shall at the same time be a
director in two or more corporations:
any one of which has capital, surplus
and undivided profits aggregating
more than $1,000,000, provided such
corporations are "engaged In whole
or in part In interstate commerce." .
"A dispatch from .'.New Bedford,
Conn, says te prohibition of inter
locking directorates would work laid
ly for the allied cotton manufacti.r
ing companies of that great cotton
manufacturing center, und it is de
clared that inevitably it will be evad
ed. The evasion will consist of es
tablishing executive commitCees t
act in a sort of advisory capacity to
different boards of directors. In oth
er words, the executive committees
will be directors on the outside, real
ly doing the work and leaving it to
each board of directors to ratify the
work of the executive committee act
ing for two or more corporations.
"It seems that there is always n
way to get around the law, but a bet
ter plan would be to secure altera
tions in the Iuw to meet certain cases,
rather thun evade the law and thus
cause more teeth to be inserted in n
manner that they are bound to bile."
MR. ROUSE FOR GOVERNOR
The Square Deal: Already the
friends of each favorite son of
many sections of North Caro
son of many sections of North Caro
lina are feeling the political pulse of
the people and hoping hard to find
the favor so pronounced as to make
possible the nomination of their
choice as democratic candidute for
Governor of North Carolina.
And here and now The Square Deal
lets known its own and very particu
lar choice. Ex Mayor N. J. Rouse of
Kinston in the good county of Lenoir.
Mr. Rouse is an all round man; he
is a lawyer of great learning and sa
lacity; he is a business man and
banker of even poise and progressive
ae b a farmer by rearing .nd we
re Rful personal endeavor; he has
been and is now a public servant who
looks both to the moral and maternal
welfare of the people; he is the very
kind of man, whom the people of
North Carolina need for their Gov
ernor. With N. J. Rouse in I he Governor's
chair at Raleigh our state's finances
would be run on safe and conserva
tive business principles; elliicient in
public service would be demanded and
certainly required.
With N. J. Rouse, Governor of
North Carolina, the tax issue would
be met squarely and honestly and the
right done notwithstanding our pres
ent day but ancient constitution.
With Governor N. J. Rouse to di
rect its affairs, the state Would ac
quire sufficient funds for its public
and benevolent needs without bur
densome taxes:. And surely cur
choice is the man who would huve
the courage to demand u square deal
for nil our state institutions and that
each and every one of them should
he administered with ability and
economy.
The Square Deal names N. J. Rouse
of Inoir for Governor of North Caro
lina to succeed Governor Locke
Craig.
If the people nominate our candi
date they may Ih assured that he
will attempt and accomplish reform
and retrenchment in our public ex
penditures and in the management
of our public institutions.
Let our slogan be Rouse and Re
form and Retrenchment.
