FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1919 .' The vote for the repeal lof the Justice long and short haul provision was almost unanimous. Only the votes f of two "Williams," both Republicans, were adversely re corded. It was in all probability more the result of habit .In voting against the majority as a matter of course rather than any great desire to see tho statute remain in .'"effect ;. Two heads are generally better than one. The appli cation of the principle in the matter of providing a safe v and adequate system of governing Kington would, Tho Free Press believes, be exceedingly wise. A committee of citizens could fittingly represent one head and the Council committee the other. Why not try it? All to be gained s and nothing to be lost. ' " '?

Berlin atill contend that-tho German sunk three English ships. This report comes from German airmen and not from the, naval branch, which from all reports, were in too big a hurry to pause long enough to take stock of the damage done by their stern batteries. The fellow who was on the "ground" ought to know better about what happened, and the British claim will be genei ally accepted until more evidence that the Lion or other ships, known to have taken part in the engagement, are missing is produced -:S.-.-i : LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE FAVORABLY IMPRESSED ioat tna Legislative investigating Committee, . com posed of six senators and four representatives, which vis Ited; the School for the Feeble-Mindod Thursday after noon were favorably impressed, was evident to the largo number of Kinstonians who were at Uines' Junction with Pr. McNairy to greet the gentlemen and assist In thai - entertainment while Inspecting the school property. Somo : of tho visiting gentlemen came to the school with eon sidorable doubt in their minds as to the wisdom of the i undertaking. They saw a sight which could not but dis pel their doubt and cause them to realize not only the need of maintaining the present inadequate plant, but tho greater need of a larger institution. The various work hops, which have been housed in temporary frame build bigs and some in old tenant houses, impressed the com mittee. They said that no other institution in the State was making use of such buildings. They were impressed with the interest of Kinston in the institution and Sen- ......

Senator ITuymore of SuVry, who was one of the "skeptics before his arrival, was orry that more time was not allotted for the inspec tion. ' He waa outspokenly impressed. The exercises of the children under the direction of their capable principal Mis Sallie Shaw, and assistants, cauued the members of the committee to literally stand up and take notice with open mouthed astonishment at the possibilities of de velopment evidenced. Senator Cooper of New Hanover said that if only the full committee could witness what they, who cam had witnessed, there would be little doubt that the school would be taken care cf in the matter of adequate appropriation. The Free Press believes it expresses the sentiment of all Kinstonians when it declare that it is glad that these intelligent, open-minded gentlemen came and it feel sfe in predicting that the School for the Feeblo-Minded will, if their influence prevail, get just consideration in the matter of appropriations. . t 1 1.. KINSTON'S RESPONSIBILITY ; TO ITS YOUNG MEN Kinston needs a rendezvous for young men. A place where they can assemble, read good, clean literature and enjoy innocent amusements in a wholesome atmosphere. The "street corner habit" is bad. Not only in Kinston, but wherever it is fostered. The development of this cus tom is quite frequently in a negative way, a it is in Kinston. There is no alternative! no place of gathering afforded, but the curb-stones and available shop windows In somo larger places there are plenty of opportunity foi whiling away the time in good environment, and still ther are those who prefer the street comers, public pool rooms and other loafing place, which are not conducive to character uplift - This would probably bo the case hen, but The Free Press believes Kinston should lay the plans for a Young Men's Christian Association Build ing. A branch of this non-denominational, world-cncirc ling agency for looking after the welfare of the young men would add greatly to the truly vital assets of this community, as it has done wherever the work has been established. Tho young man away from home, who car ries a membership card in the Y. M. C. A. is glad to see tho welcome sign that hang out to him in every other place, whore there is an association. He knows that there await him no pitfalls or dangers when ha accepts of the hospitality of the Y. M. C. A. The Chamber of Commerce would do well to consider the inauguration of this movement Temporary quarter could be gotten and little later some of the international workers of the Y. M. C. A. organization would be glad to coma here and organize a four or five day whirlwind campaign for a building. The erection of such is well within the bounds of Kinston's responsibility to her young men. VOX P0PULI WHISKEYITES" "LAST 8TKAW" METHOD UNAVAILING From the Wilmington Dispatch's article on the Ala bama prohibition fight it is clear that the full story of tho situation in Alabama is not known to our esteemer contemporary. The Dispatch endorses tho proposition that Governor Henderson made to the Legislature, whic! passed, over his veto by an overwhelming vote, the state wide measures to go into effect after June 30 next. The Birmingham New and the Montgomery Advertiser, the State's most largely read papers, and virtually under the same control, violently opposed the prohibition measure and, finding out that they were whipped, made the pro position that the issue be submitted to the people for s referendum vote, at tho same time claiming that the leg islators were not acting in good faith as prohibition har" not entered into the fight. In this they were grossly in error. Not only was prohibition an issue, but The Bir mingham News championed a slate of so-called local op tionista from it home county, which the people repudi a ted. The whiskey issue was in evidence all over the State, and the Legislature is composed of a more than three-fourth; dry majority. Men, too, whose positions on the aucstion were well lrn to thoir constituents. Mr Henderson, the Governor, was the local option candidate and was nominated in a run-off primary with ex-Governoi Comer, whose administration eight years ago was radica' to the extreme, and although the reforms that were in stituteu during his term, are of everlasting benefit to the State, his fight against capital in his successful effort to break the shackles of corporate corruption in the mat ter of State government control, hnd the effect of drivin much of tho investments, that would have been placed in the State, elsewhere. Consequently Mr. Comer's adminis tration became very unpopular. In the recent election, hf lead the ticket in the first primary, in which there were four or five candidates, but in tho run-off Mr. Henderson who is very popular, hail a walkaway. The personal equa tion entered more lamely into -Mr. Henderson's selection therefore than did the issue. The people of Alabama ar? in favor of banishing liquor and they instructed their representatives accordingly. The "last straw" efforts of tho two papers and Governor Henderson notwithstaml mg. WHAT OTHERS SA) NOT A REFUGE FOR HLEASE BENEFICIARIES. Wilmington Dispatch:: 'The conviction of "Portland Ned" in Raleigh demonstrates that while those convicts pardoned by Bloase may understand that South Carol inn is no longer a healthful place, under the rule of a now Governor, that notwithstanding they can't abide in North Carolina. HOC. AND HOMINY TALK Winston-Salem Sentinels "Now that a great dual is Wing said about the desirability of crop diversification in this section, the figures given out by the State Depart ment of Agriculture relative to the amount of corn used in this State, and the source of this supply, furnish con siderable food for thought They show that thousands of bushels of corn used in North Carolilna that might be produced here are bought in other States. And the same is true of a number of other products. " To Editor of The Free Press: Yesterday' editorial in Free Pres with reference to children begging up on street apparently in violation of both the law against begging and the compulsory school attendance law, de serves our serious thought What kind of compulsory attend ance law have we? Does it not re quire attendance of children between 8 and 12? I know that some of those spoken of in the editorial are between eight and twelve. Why are they al lowed out of school ? Why do not we do here as in some other cities: have the superintendent of schools report1 each day to the police department all i unexcused absences of children under the compulsory law and let the police go to the home qnd investigate. If parent are to blame make a case against them. Some make excuse of no clothes and no books. Where these excuses are genuine and parents can't provide clothe and books, the city should furnish both. Some may say "The expense would be too great" Very few parents would be willing to throw the burden upon the city and the cost would be much less than would le generally supposed. Then I am sure that by co-operative effort, many books already used would be donated each year for this purpose. But even at maximum cost, the provision would be wise for the city's children are of more value thun her dollars. BERNARD P.
