TELEPHONE ALL DEPARTMENTS 75 er seems to be having difficulty in "doing" a sum, which is really somewhat strange considering the "environment" of The News-Leader's place of publication. The disturb ing problem is: "Each of the French soldiers is to have 'half a liter of wine and a cigar extra' on Christmas. There will be, the dispatch continues, 'a liter bottle of champagne for every four soldiers.' Some mathematics in the way of division in that, as we figure, or can't figure it, rather. We respectfully submit, as a solution to the complex situation, that the recipients of the two bottles are ex pected to see DOUBLE.

J SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1914 ' How do you feel today? If your Christmas has been spent as has been frequently advised in these columns, the occasion is without regrets. A big twelve-million dollar brewery concern has been pbt in the hands of a receiver because of the decrease in the demand for beer. The liquor interests might as well recognize "the handwriting- on the wall" and turn their talents into other channels. The Czar need not be chagrined that he was unable to devour Turkey for his Christmas dinner. Crow would be a more suitable bird for the distinguished gentleman, since he has perforce to eat some of the things he said about his Christmas dinner being enjoyed in Berlin. ' The advice of The Free Press to keep sober and cele brate the Christmas season in an appropriate manner was not heeded by everybody in Kinston. Christmas Eve there was considerable evidence of the influence of strong drink and the more to be regretted because a great many of these who were "celebrating" were hardly out of their toeft. The action of the sheriff in arresting and putting in jail a woman who sometime ago escaped on account of a pend ing charge of running a disorderly house is commendable. Let the unfortunate class of lewd women understand that Kinston's crusade against their nefarious work is not for a day or a season but is a permanent one. No more will a recognized "red light" district be tolerated in this community, ' Members of the local military companies are asked and urged by the commisary departments to bring in any and all property belonging to Uncle Sam, in order that due credit may be given when the inspections are held next month. The inspectors will not take anybody's word for the fact that shoes have worn out or other equip ment is no longer of service, they must have the "visible remains." All the "boys Bhould scour their closets and respond to the request Tho death of Mr. Alfred Henry Lewis, which occurred Wednesday In New York will be regretted by those who have rend his "Wolfville" stories. This "typical western settlement," a creation of the imagination of the very re markable writer has afforded pleasant fields for "mental wanderings" to thousands who have enjoyed Mr. Lewis' thort stories, ranked by many as equally as creditable as were those of the famous Tar Heel, O'llenry. Our esteemed contemporary, The Richmond News-Lead- THE DEFEAT OF THE HOBSON BILL The defeat of the Hobson bill for national prohibition by the House Tuesday night was not unexpected. Even the most ardent supporters, including Mr. Hobson him self were hardly so sanguine as to feel that there was any possibility of the measure carrying. Still the tern perance leaders of the country would have nothing but a test at this time. There is that danger in all reformation work of its advocates becoming so encouraged over par tial victory and so zealous for greater and more complete 1 gains as to rush headlong into the fight, when certain ' J,aii la utnmnn fltam in t Via f o anH norkana a little i A ferred action would accomplish the desired results. The changes contemplated in the Hobson bill were radical. The passing of the bill would mean a great financial loss to brewery and other liquor interests, the influence of which are felt very strongly in certain sections of the country. Such changes as contemplated, as righteous as the may be, cannot be accomplished at one fell swoop so to speak. Tho populace must be educated and that education comes by degrees not by a "landslide." Very rapid progress has been mode by the great temperanc forces throughout the country, and each State campaign has netted the dry columns valuable territory. There it a very decided feeling among some of the recognized and beyond the shadow of a doubt great leaders of the country that the liquor question is one for the individual States to handle. The question of State's Rights, whether rightfully or not The Free Press is not ready to declare, has been in jected into the campaign for national constitutional pro hibition, rresident Wilson, Ine f ree rress believes, is of the opinion that equal suffrage and prohibition an state matters. Mr. Underwood is and other leaders. Be that as it may, it is certainly very obvious that more pro gress will havo to be gained in the States before national prohibition can be hoped for. The Webb bill was perhap: the most vital measure governing the ' protection of dry territory that has been enacted and certainly the under lying principle of that bill was the recognition of a State or a unit of population to protect itself from outsiders who insisted upon violating its local laws. There was another obstacle in the way of passing the bill at this time, and to this The Free Press would not be surprised if most other prohibitionists do not take issue. and that was its sponsor Mr. Hobson. While regarding Mr. Hobson as a brilliant man, his record in the House has not been one to align the support of the best thought of the nation. Mr. Hobson has, unfortunately, had too much of the spectacular grand stand variety of display about him to leave the impress of sincerety. Mr. Hobson has injected the prohibition fight where it did not be long and some are inclined to think that it was for his own personal benefit that he used the issue. Particularly was that the case in his unseccessful fight against Mr. Underwood for the United States Senate. The Free Press cannot help but feel that under other leadership the destiny of national prohibition will be safer. At any rate, let the forces of temperance marshal their Btrength and make their test when there is less liability of defeat, as was the case this time. The cause may get a set back by such premature tests when a little waiting and further working would bring victory. The Free Press believes that the nation is going dry, and it expects to lend its every effort to driving the liquor curse from the land but it wants safe and sane leadership.
