V'''.: WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1915 Goners Von Hindenbers; directed hia forcea against Waraaw, it is aald,in order to draw tha preaaure away . from hla flank. " From tha reports of tha battle, it ap- peara that ha stepped oat of the frying pan into tha fire, The Russians were on the lookout for him and went after tha Kaiser's forces with a vengeance. m . .a a . s .. m ine legislators, wno came w visit ma tscnooi lor ine Feeble-Mbded last week spoke very complimentarily of ' Epeeker Woo ten. One of the Senator remarked that not withstanding the slanderous attack of one of the State papers, the members of tha General Assembly had the . utmost confidence in and tha highest regard for the Kin. stonian. ' The Raleigh postmaster matter has apparently been settled. ' At least the Washington correspondents of the State papers announce that the plum ii to go to Bart M r.aUlnm. Anln Joalah William Ballev scores. Well, it la all right.. It Is Bona of our affairs anyway, and if the Raleigh folks are satisfied, why then the balance of the State should probably keep quiet The Winston-Salem Sentinel is courting unnecessary trouble in making the following suggestion : "A few citl tens are already wanting to know how many aspirants Wlnaton-Salem win have for the office of mayor this year. The election will be held in May, therefore, those who con template getting in the game will have to begin training soon" Why awaken the "sleeping creatures" so far ahead of time? Their "bellowlngs" will be hoard in plen ty of time. ' Tha Ship Purchase Bill ran headlong Into a "serious ' atonn" without any apparent forewarning. It is unfor tunate that Democratic' Senators should hate delayed their opposition until the battle had assumed such acute ly drawn party lines. A going-over to the enemy In the face of their guns la nothing short of traitorous and of. fending statesmen will in all probability, be held respon sible by their constituents for deserting at such a critical vantage point . Aa Tha Norfolk Virginian-Pilot very aptly remarks: "It appears that when Cole Bleasa stepped down and out of the governorship of South Carolina he took with him all the documentary records of his two administra tions, but unfortunately for the Palmetto Commonwealth, the record which Blease made as Chief Executive cannot be so readily and completely wiped out" Certainly the memories of Cole's escapades will linger long in the minds of the people. . The bill pending before Congress looking to the separa tion of the races in the Washington street-cars has been favorably reported, and will in all probability become a law. Southern people, who have occasion to visit the Na tlon 'a Capital, will be gratified if it does. There has been mora or less friction in the cars. A few years ago Rep resentative Tom Hefiin of Alabama barely escaped having a serious difficulty with an insolent negro man, whom the Congressman ejected from one of the cars, and there have been many other instances where clashes have resulted from the necessity of riding in the same cars. "' I What has become of the playground idea? At once time last fall it appeared that the committee, appointed by the Chamber of Commerce, to look into the matter, would be able to put the mowaaent on foot The absolute nec essity for such an institution in Kinston Is becoming more and more apparent every day. The question is asked fre quently, what have you here for your, boys and girls Where can they amuse themselves? The answer has to be: "Well, they can go to the movies, and then prome nade the streets and go home." Is that all?. The inquirer naturally wants to know. , The answer is, perforce, '"Yes.' What is going to be done afoot. Itt ! '-'rr'-'c " , - " ;'r r .-V ;" THE ACTION OF THE i . 1 COUNCIL VERY TIMELY The Free Press believes that the action of the City Council Monday night, in authorizing a committee of its members to draft an ordinance 'to be submitted at the next regular meeting, looking to the elimination of the breeding places for flies and another ordinance requir ing horses to be hitched to a post or block, when left un attended, was very decidedly a step in the right direction. This paper has been urging that such action be taken for some months. In fact, tha fly matter was one of the first to engage the attention of The Free Press last spring after its reorganization and the hitching ordinance has been repeatedly suggested. Both of these measures are quite essential to the public welfare. The fly is undisputedly a menace to health because its natural habitat is filth, and it is laden with deadly germs all the time. The crusade against the fly is a national affair. War is being waged against the pest everywhere and It is high time that Kinston line up in the fight The committee, upon whom rests the responsibility for carry ing out the plana of the Council, should make sure that the work Is done without delay. The March meeting is as lata as the fight against the 1915 crop should be inaugur ated, and It would not be amiss if it was possible to take action at a special meeting earlier. ' The wisdom of having horses tied, when standing on the streets unattended, la too patent to need elaboration. That any old nag will run away if given enough provocation is demonstrated over and over again, and the restraining cord wil lessen the liability of pedestrians being run down by frightened animals very materially. The action of the Council is timely. COMMISSIONERS LUKEWARM ON BOND ISSUE QUESTION The Free Press regrets that the County Commission ers could not see their way clear to come out unequivo cally in favor of a good roads bond issue. The present plan of construction is, perhaps, satisfactory as far as it goes, but the big trouble with it, is that it doesn't go far enough. It is very much like the little boy's pie, there is not enough of it It may be the case, as some of the Commissioners aver, that the majority of . the people of the county are not in favor of a bond issue. There has not been any very considerable agitation of the matter, and the issue pro and con has not been brought out in a way to enlighten the people, and besides, it is natural that there should be some opposition. In fact there always is more or less opposition where the matter of taxes is involved. The people are necessarily very cau tious about being taxed more than they feel that they should be. The Free Press believes that the people of Lenoir are as intelligent as are those of any community in this country, and it believes that they are progressive enough to pay the bills if they are assured that satisfac tory results will be forthcoming. The proposition for a bond issue will have to be thoroughly considered and discussed from every angle in order that the electorate may pass intelligently upon the matter. The supposition that the people are opposed to the issuance of bonds is rather premature. It would be better to give the issue a hearing before passing Judgment on it The Free Press hopes and believes that the friends of good roads in this county will continue to exert their efforts to secure tho necessary means to provido the county with a system of publio highways second to none in the State. 1 Vffi 1 ! s Work in a Warm Room T77HEN you take your . sewing upstairs, take the heat along too.

Herald: "England's policy with ref erence to the ocean commerce of this country is losing John Bull friends by the tens of thousands in the United States. The American people realize clearly, those of them who have studied the problem at all, that Eng land's course is wrong, and that England would not take that course except for the fact that she believes this country is afraid to make the sort of protest that might lead to trouble. If the spirit of this country was like that existing a hundred years ago, England would soon be taught a much-needed lesson, despite the vaunted super- iority of her navy. . , , me of the backache and all other symptoms of kidney trouble."
