FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22. 1915
An attorney named Beer has talked too much, it seems,
from what the various gentlemen, of whom he spoke,
have to say. That is not unusual for beer; it very often
talk too much and says nothing.
1
If General Garza's proposition, to make Mexico City
neutral and hold there the parleys of the various factions,
prevails, the capital of the rebellion-torn republic will
become known aa the "convention city." There will prob
ably be about 99 separate and distinct confabs held daily.
. I
The Free Press is in receipt of a list of House com
mittees, appointed by Speaker Wooten, The Kinstonian
la making a record for dispatching the business of the
lower branch of the General Assembly, and his work b
receiving the favorable comment of the press of the State
General Gara, the latest provisional president of Mex
ico, is already looking for a soft place. He now proposes
to make Mexico City neutral ground, where the parleys
of the opposing factions can be held. The idea is a pretjty
good one, If the capital's neutrality didn't have the same
fate a poor Belgium's did.
'. Another march on Paris is anticipated, if the Germans
succeed in recapturing Soissons. It Is needless to say
that the French will fight to the last ditch to hold the
ground they now occupy, but then in this game of see-saw
who knows but what the Kaiserines will be on the run
toward Berlin again tomorrow?
ductd is, The Free Press believes, unnecessary. The
contention of the papers in the State, advocating this
plsn, is that the voters will appreciate the saving of
twenty thousand dollars by curtailing the session twen
ty days. Most assuredly tney will appreciate sucn a sav
ing. Why not let the leaders see to it that the buitiness is
attended to and that all unnecessary delays are eliminated
nd adjourn just as soon as the essential matters have
been disposed of? It might be found that more than
twenty days could be saved or might be necessary to run
fifty days. Some of the forty-day sponsors are even
suggesting that those, wno votea against me proposi
tion in the Senate, will be held accountable by their con
stltuents. The Free Press doesn't believe that there is
any constituency in the State that would be misled into
disapproving the record of its representative if the evi
dence at the conclusion of the session proved that he had
performed his work faithfully and well and had taken the
necessary time to do it If the legislators earnestly strive
to transact the people's business in the shortest possible
time there will not be so much grumbling back home as
some would insinuate. Results are wanted and not dem
onstrations for the galleries.
VOX P0PULI
, Villa , continues to give assurances that the life and
property, of Americana in Mexico, so far as his ability to
do so goes, will bo protected. And so far, Villa has shown
no disposition to go back on his word. The ex-outlaw
is 'just about as dependable as any of his countrymen
so far as the outsider's observations go.
'2'' ; ::j .' '':
Senator Burton is trying to prove himself to be the
"iron man" of the Senate. He doesnt even halt his talk
fest for lunch, but has raw eggs brought him, which he
wallows while some of his colleagues play for time with
a parliamentary query. The trouble about this talk is
that it is not so cheap. The people are at an enormous
expenso to maintain a three-day session of the Senate to
listen to a wind-jammer's efforts to block the majority's
program.
Perhaps very few thinking people regarded the rumor
that Secretary Bryan had threatened to resign if Sulli
van received President Wilson's endorsement, very scri
ously, anyway. And now comes the emphatic denial from
the White House that any such attitudo had been assumed
by the Commoner. Aa a matter of fact, Mr. Wilson's
support of Sullivan in the recent elections was somewhat
contrary to what public opinion felt should have been.
and Mr, Bryan's "dislike" for the lllinoisan would prob
ably have the approval of most of the people.
The Raleigh News and Observer's Washington corres
pondent writes his paper that Mr. Howard A. Banks, pri
vato secretary to Mr. Daniels, will sail via the Panama
Canal on January 27 for San Francisco, where he will
have charge of the Navy Department's exhibit Taking
this in connection with the story printed in the Greensboro
News a short time ago to the effect that Mr. Banks would
succeed Mr. Britton as editor of the Raleigh paper, when
the Utter gentleman was appointed postmaster, it looks
like Editor Brit ton's chances of appointment are not so
rosy as they were.
THE PRINCIPLE OF DOING AWAY
WITH "HOT AIR" IS ALL RIGHT.
: Tht principle of getting down to business and elimin
ating, the "hot air" period of the General Assembly is all
riffl t. The placing of a forty-day limit on the session
beforo any of the important legislation has been intro-
MINOR OFFICIALS NOT
NECESSARILY AFFECTED.
In changing the system of city government from the
mayor and aldermanic administrative plan to the com
mission form or city manager plan, the various depart
ment heads would not necessarily be affected. A city man
ager would have to have assistants, and there would be
no reason for changes where the present incumbents are
giving efficient service. Some of the friends of present
department heads are understood to be making inquirj
as to what effect a change would have on their particular
friends. The Free Press would most assuredly urge the
retention of capable officials and department heads, where
they could be used under a new plan. The Free Press
believes that unquestionably a capable city manager would
find it necessary to drop some of the present employes
and heads of departments. It would be quite out of the
ordinary should that not be the case. A most remarka
ble organization, that, which would have no weak places,
to be strengthened. The question at issue is not a per
sonal one; it is not so much man against man as it is
system against system. The object should be to find and
utilize that system by which the public's business could
be carried on most efficiently and most economically and
thtt regardless of any personal eliminations or changes.
The Free Press believes that a committee of Kinston's
successful citizens, appointed to act as an advisory body
to the committee of councilmen would conserve the ends
of justice, all things being considered, far better than
could any other course. The matter is one that should
a
be given most careful thought The people, as a whole.
are not in position to pass intelligently upon the best
plan. The committee plan is the only feasible one, and
the selection of the committee should be made very care
fully, and with a view to obtaining a wide range of
thought and advice. The council could not, The Free
Press feels very certain, appoint a committee composed
entirely of its own members, who could handle the ques
tion as well and with the fullest confidence of the people
in theif judgment aa with a citizens' committee, working
with the councilmen. There should be a united and cor
dially co-operative effort made in solving this question.
It is a get-together time by all means. Let personal feel
ings and dislikes be put aside and all heads be put to
gether to devise the best wuy to govern Kington.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
MIGHT BE VIOLATION OF LOTTERY LAWS
Charlotte Observer: "The proposition for a voting con
test for the naming of the White House baby, is about the
yellowest that has been sprung on the country. It is like
an invasion of the sanctity of the home."
GIVE 'EM TIME TO THINK
Greensboro Daily News: "The view of the Daily Newn
is that if the gentlemen now assembled in Raleigh have
the capacity to think, they should have the time and the
opportunity to think."
HOW OUR BREAD IS BUTTERED
Wilmington Star: "If we were putting up houses and
barns all over Eastern North Carolina for Belgian or other
settlers, every carpenter and bricklayer in this part of
the State would have plenty to do. Nobody hears that
farm labor is out of a job in North Carolina. Nine-tenths
of the counties in the State report that farm labor is
scarce. When farm labor is scarce it means that agricu1
turil production and development is necessarily halted in
No-th Carolina. We have the lands, but producers are
few. .We attach a great deal of importance to industrial
developments without thinking that agriculture is on of
our chief sources of wealth. All our resources need de-
clcpmpnt, and none more than the State's immense agri
cultural possibilities.

To the Editor of The Free Press:
Please allow me space in your val
uable paper to most heartily endorse
the suKgestion made by "A Church
Member" on the creation of "A Pray
er Meeting Night." I also wish to
express my appreciation of your edi
torial comment on "A Church Mem
ber's Appeal." Will not every church
member in our city take these sug
gestions seriously and help to make
the idea real. Nothing will more
quickly revolutionize the spiritual
condition of the community than for
the Christian people to really take on
the nourishment to their spiritunl life
that would come from regular attend
ance of these devotional meetings.
Men of affairs, most of all, need this
tonic after the conflicts of their dai
ly toils.

If your hair is not fluffy, soft and
lustrous, is falling out, Btreaked, fad
ed, brittle, or full of dandruff, and if
the scalp itches, do not think it must
always be that way, for pretty hair
is only a matter of care and the use
of the proper hair dressing. Your
hair is like a plant if neglected it
soon dies, while with a little atten
tion it keeps fresh and beautiful.
Parisian Sage is a scientific prepa
ration that supplies just the elements
needed to invigorate the hair to grow
long, thick, fluffy, soft and lustrous.
It removes all dandruff with one ap
plication and quickly stops itching
head and falling hair. It is the ideal
hair tonic and scalp treatment con
tains nothing injurious and is deli
cately perfumed.
J. E. Hood & Co. or any druggist
can supply you with Farisian Sage
it is inexpensive. You cannot be dis-
aDDointed with this delightful and
helpful toilet necessity, for it will
surely give your hair the beauty and
charm of youth.
