FEBRUARY 22, 191S If the jitney but continual to spread over the country, somebody might come down to Kiniton and start ft line or two. ' Twould be right convenient to have one of those auto rldea for just nickel. . V: a .':-V; Now comes the Russian general ataff and proclaims that somebody has told "one" about the victories that Cermany has been piling up. Well, why don't the gen crals fight about it if they don't like the way the German censors talk? 1 Thieves entered branch office of the Chicago News, it is alleged, and carried off more than a thousand dollars. Pidnt know that there were any main offices of newspa pers that had that much change lying around loose. The future of journalism Is not so dark after all. The American "children of fortune" who sought excite ment by enlisting In the French army seem to have been called upon to do their share of the front rank work. Reports aay that out of fifteen hundred enlisted only three hundred and eighty-five answered the roll call Sat i unlay. , We are not at all pleased with the "hoggish" disposi tion displayed by that aggregation of basketball players hailing from Wilmington, It appears to us that one game ought to have satisfied those fellows and here they came along and took two of our "prides" into camp. Never mind, when we do get even, the revenge will be sweet, , The Star down in Wilmington thinks it just cause for giving thanks that "you find yourself not a neutral ship bourn! for the war tone." We are entirely In accord with th sentiment, for far be from our desires' to crave the honor of being the unfortunate ship which precipitates the fuss that is now brewing betwixt our government and those golden-haired Kaiserinlsta. Friend Farabee, in the Raleigh Times, declares that the cause of woman's suffrage has just been postponed, and he it "brave" enough to eome out in the open and de clare that it to really a blessing In disguise to the cause for, says he, the people of the State would most assuredly have voted down constitutional amendment had the present Legislature arranged for such an election. We njrree with the views, but then we know that none of the "dyod-in-wool" suffragettes will yield any such point The .Briti.ih Admiralty has disavowed any responsibll ' Uy for the ue of the Stars and Stripes by the big ocean greyhound, the "Lusitanla," on a recent trip from New York to, Liverpool. The British say that Germany is entirely mistaken in trying to place the recent drastic action, which promises to interfere seriously with neutral shipping, and Germany says Britain is "another." Begins , to look like a regular school-boy scrap: "You kill my dog, and III kill your cat" ' s The Richmond . Virginian assumes the attitude of "I told you so," with reference to a recent utterance of its neighbor, the News Leader, concerning the discovery that segregation had failed to segregate. The Virginian need not think, however, that the News Leader is an exception, for there are a great many people who contend that the restricted district is the best solution of the vice prob lem. Just the same principle, and just as preposterous as the old cry of the liquorites, "Let's have saloons, but have them well regulated." THE GIRLS SHOULD , ; : - , HAVE PROTECTION. ' ,'' ; ' " V V There is in the Ashevilla Jail a" young woman, whose casef might be called to the attention of those legislators who failed to see the need of protecting the girls of this State. The Buncombe girl is charged with infanticide, H being alleged that she destroyed her illegitimate child, which "she gave' birth to in the' woods, when the ground was covered with snow.-This girl is said to be eighteen years of age, and her case would not have been affected by the proposed raising the age of consent Neverthe less the case furnishes food for thought; Somewhere in Buncombe or elsewhere, most probably the latter, is a man who' has taken advantage of this girt She alone suffers and will be called upon to pay the penalty while he perhaps Is already intriguing to bring about the ruin of other ignorant and unsuspecting girls.1 The Senate, The Free Press believes, has not, reached the bill yet, and it Is to be hoped that it will not follow the example of the How e. but pass a law that will give better protection to the girls cf this Commonwealth. It has been pointed out in these ee mas before that there were a number of absentees in M House when the matter was brought to vote, several times more than enough to have reversed the result and it may be that it is not too late even now to have the present Legislature pass a bill covering this question.' v 1 , . . y ,' ' . OLD JOHN BARLEY CORN HAS BEEN HIT HARD, v The State House of Representatives hit old man John Barley Corn about the hardest blow that that old arch enemy of mankind has ever had dealt him, when on last Friday it said so emphatically that the shipment liquors into the confines of the Old North State for bev erage purposes must stop. The vote in the House was even more overwhelming than the most sanguine sup porter of the cause of temperance had hopes for. One hundred to six' is virtually unanimous. The bill was made possible by the existence of the Webb-Kenyon national anti-shipping law and should the Senate now concur in the action of the House it will mean that our old "anti friends" will have to seek other reasons for their opposi tion than the time-worn, thread-bare "I'd be for proh bition if prohibition prohibited." For it surely looks like it is going to' prohibit in North Carolina after the pres ent Legislature gets through with the question. The House very wisely voted down all proposed amend mcnts to submit the question to the people. The peopl of North Carolina went on record in 1908 for prohibi tion. and the only thing for the Legislature to do is make It 'possible, for the expressed will of the people to be effective. It appears that the House has taken that step. - It Is interesting to note the- line up. No party lines were drawn. One Republican took the floor in opposition to the measure and very promptly other members from the minority asked that it not be inferred that the Repub Means were opposed to the question, for they were going to vote for the Grier bill. Some of the Democrats, who opposed the bill, expressed fear thai should the "dear people" not be given an opportunity to have another say that it would spell the death knell of the party in the State,. The Free Press believes their attitude will come nearer spelling their own political death than will the action of the majority. In fact, it is very confident that the people of North Carolina will respect this Legislature and hold it up to future generations should it deliver the State from tho demon rum and the Legislature is going to do that unless some mighty good signs fail. . WHAT OTHERS SAY WE DO NOT THINK SO Henderson Gold Leaf: "Should Germany see a good chance to sink some of our ships on the sly and fix the responsibility on England, or vice versa, should England And a favorable opportunity to do the same thing and blame Germany for it there la little room for doubt that Some ft them Will be sent to the bottom before very long purely for the inflammatory effect it would have on the American people. THERE MUST BK INSPIRATION. Wilmington Star: "We hear a great deal about Billy Sunday, but very little about Mrs. Billy Sunday. Now comes the statement that Billy wouldn't be what the little boy shot at if it had not been for Mrs, Sunday. She is said to be his comfort his inspiration, his guiding star. We might have suspected that instead of giving credit to Billy for a thing. Just suppose Billy didn't have any guiding star? Well, Billy might have been a consplcu. oua anarchist by now, and that is about what men gener ally would be if it were not for the good women of the world." DAYS OF THE "ROBERT E LEE" COMING BACK.
