TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1915 Municipal Join are very much in demand down in the Palmetto State, according to the following: comment of the Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald: "Citizen of Greenwood manifest no 'retiring disposition' when the matter of fill ing municipal office comes up for consideration. There are four candidates for mayor in that little city and fifteen candidate for aldermen with six places to lie filled." The Raleigh News and Observer says: "It seem that old Carranea knew what he was about when ho moved his seat of government to Vera Crux. ; As a result ho i able to secure more of the sinews of war than any of the other ' presidents of Mexico." Yos, and, as The Free Press Imp before said, Vera Croc'i about as handy a place as could be found for him to make hi departure, when the time comes for the "old scout" to join the "bird gang" of ex president of Mexico, now sojourning for their health in foreign land. v Senator Smith, one of the endurance wind-jnmmers of : the minority filibuster, had the boards all to himself Sat ; urday, ' lie quoted many "facta and figures" alleged tc ; show that the country Is going to the dogs under Dcmo- erallo administration. lie "defied" the Democrats to re futa his statements, They didn't accept his challenge because they knew there was no use. The people are not going to be fooled Into, thinking the Democratic tariff is responsible for dull time. They know that the rate of tariff ha no bearing on the situation whatsoever, The scarcity of Import since the outbreak of the European war ha all but nullified the tariffs and It would make no difference what the rate wu. The Democrats are doincr their best to restore International commerce as much a possible by providing bottoms for its conveni ence.'and If the Republican will cut down their flow of "hot air" something may be done in that direction. PROSPERITY KNOCKING LOUDLY AT PITTSBURGH'S DOORS. The special United Press story from Pittaburgh, printed ed Irt The Free Press Monday afternoon, regarding the industrial Improvement there is very encouraging. Many of tha larger plants are now working on full time. Th return of prosperity i denoted by the lack of idle people on the streets. The newspaper bulletins are being pat ronlxed by few as compared with the Inrge number' noted a few week ago; and this is due to the fact that many of the onlooker were teel workers, who wore eagerly watching the news to glean some ray of hope from th war or dull time headquarters. These workers are now putting tn full time at the mill and drawing good pay It I to be noted, too, that these men are dressed better and look r otter In every way. The indications that the mill have a good steady run ahead of them are exceeding ly favorable and pretty soon those Republican muduHnK era will just be forced to take water about the things they are euying about the administration's failure. That la If it is K8sibla to get one of those old stand-patters to acknowledge ho la wrong. When the steel mills begin to hum, it is always safe to predict that Industrial conditions will improve generally. The product of the steel mills are not made Just for the making. They are to be shipped to other parts of the country to go into the construction of buildings, machin ery, railroad and all aorta of work that affords labor a chance. The report from Pittsburgh is exceedingly grat ifying. IT OUGHT TO DE POSSIBLE TO SATISFY THE "FIGUTERS." Somo of our contemporaries are Inclined to lie some what pessimistic about the prospects for England's con tinued Interference with our shipping. Some are sug gesting that the ships, proposed to bo purchased, will be of no service If England will not permit us to use them, and other are suggesting that the proper thing to do is to load our ships, consign them to enemies of England and have our navy escort them across the sea. That Is going a little too far. The administration has been exorcising a great deal of patience with England, but the situation Is nothing like the breaking point, and there I no appar ent reason for this country removing Itself from the basis of arbitration by defying any of the world powers to shoot at our flag. England is ulufflng, and will continue to do so to the limit, but England Is not anxious to engage the United States in war, nor is she anxious to engender the enmity of this government or the prejudice of her citizens. The Free Tress believes that President Wilson and hi advisers will see to it that the rights of this coun try are protected, and will not allow England os any of the other countries to interfere with our affairs or those things that concern our citizens, when we are in the right. Take for instance, the controversy over the ownership of the Dacin. It is not to be presumed that the owner of thot ship allowed it to wail from Us moorings in Galveston just to be made a prize of war. He has evidently had the assurance of the government that it would stand back of him, and see that his rights are protected. There seems to be no international law which would prevent England from taking the ship and holding it until the disputed points have lieen settled, but then the cargo will le forwarded promptly, it is said. The position of Eng land hns been greatly magnified by the Republican fili busterers, who seem to have very little regard for their reputation as to verncity. The war advocates ought to eo over to some of the belligerents and enlist There is a well founded suspicion that when their term of serviro wns out, if they lived to finish it, that the administra tion's peace program and refusal to lie swept off iU feet by the howls of some, would receive their full and un qualified endorsement. BOND ISSUE FOR GOOD ROADS Tho Free Press printed nn interview Monday with County Commissioner Wood on the proposed bond issue for good roads In Lenoir. Mr. Wood expressed consider able doubt about the advisability of issuing bonds, but said he was open to conviction. Ho figures that nt the present rata of construction Lenoir will enjoy a model system of highways within six or eight years. In this regard Mr. Wood takes a much more roseate view of the situation than did his colleague, Mr. Churchill,' a few weeks ago. The hitter's estimate was that it would take twenty and possibly more to complete tho system, unless bonds wero issued. Mr. Wood says that practically all the country people are opposed to bonds and he further thinks that the present method of construction is much moro satisfactory than by contract. Ho alleges that the ( worst strip of new road in the county is one that wns laid j according to government specifications. Tho amount of money available should not necessarily affect the method of construction. It should seem entirely within tho range of possibility to have the same supervisor, if his work is more satisfactory because of his intimate knowledge of tho peculiar soil conditions here, superintend the construc tion on a largor scale, if bonds were issued. There is n serious question whether it la tho part of wisdom and economy to defer the completion of the county's highways for six or eight years, admitting that Mr. Wood's csti mate is correct. That the country people should be op posed to a bond Issue is due, no doubt, to the fact that they have failed to take into consideration tho Increased tonnage that they could haul to the markets with much less hurt to their stock, and by reason of the accessibil ity to their lands, the consequent enhancement in value. Good roads are not luxuries; they are necessities and those communities, which rfro backward in the matter of road construction are apt to fall behind the procession. Lenoir is not going to full behind, for that is not her wont WHAT OTHERS SAY MAKING EXIT MORE EASY Brooklyn Citizen: "One improvement to minimize dan ger in subway accidents proposed by Manager Iledley is the widening of tho emergency exits. This would not pro- vent fires when a short circuit occurs, but might facilitate the escape of the passengers when the car doors are opened," ADVICE WORTH HEEDING EVERYBODY! Greenville Reflector: "The man who' wns robbed Fri day while counting his money did not show good judg ment in two particulars. First, it would have been part of wisdom to have left his money in the bank, where it would have been kept safely for him. Second, as long as he did nut have his money in the bank, but decided to carry it home, he should not have been counting It in the presence of negroes and tempting them to rob him." ASK THE RALEIGH TIMES WHY? Winston-Salem Journal: "If Congressman Pou recom mends Mrs. Aycock for appointment as postmaster at Raleigh he will win the applause of the people of the entire State and satisfy all factions in Raleigh, except, possibly, a few of the Gatling crowd. Wo really are at a loss to understand the Congressman's delay in naming Mrs. Aycock for tho place."
