Heap much bad Injun" la at hla old trlcke In the wildi
of Utah.. Posses ara reported to be hurrying to tha re
cue of aettlera In sparsely populated communities whera
tha Indiana art on tha war path and tha Gorarnmont has
atartad a detachment of troopa to quail tha rebellion. Tha
majority of tha Indiana, ho are left, ara civilised, but
thtn there la a considerable amount of savage left In tome
of them, and it will crop out every now and then. 1 1

The lint American ship sunk since tha opening of hos
tilltiea in Europe waa tha Evelyn a cotton laden boat
bound for Bremen, Tha Berlin dispatches aay that it is
out of the question to think that the dlaastar to tha ahip
waa' of premeditated German origin, for Germany needs
cotton too badly. Certainly there could be no good reason
why a ship bound for a German port on a friendly mis
sion would be attacked by Germany, and tha British claim
that a German aubmarina waa the probable cause ia most
logically without foundation. There ia no need for ex
citement ia this case. It appears that tha ship met its
misfortune far removed from the recent war tone, des
cribed by Germany, and therefore would hardly have any
connection with the plan. An investigation la being made
and In due time tha matter will be cleared up.'

'The manager of a well-known typefounders company,
with headquarters In Richmond, recently made a trip
through North Carolina to make tha personal acquaint
ance of hia customer, and since' returning to his office ha
write aa follows! "I have just returned from my tripb
through your beautiful State, and waa much pleased with
the outlook for future business, as, In my opinion, the
business depression will ba entirely gone within tha next
, sixty to ninety daya." There la little doubt that tha busi
ness outlook la better, Traveling men generally ara re
porting Improvement Business Interests are adjusting
. themselves to tha new order of things made necessary by
tha condition due to tha great European war. There has
been no particular reason for he depression in America
and a return of confidence Is apparently all that la neces
sary to start tha wheels of industry moving in their nor
mal way. Help the return of prosperity by shedding opti
mism and doing your little best! ,

THE POSITION OF
TUB FREE PRESS.
In Monday'a Issue of Tha Free Presa waa printed a let-
ter from tha Chief of Police, in reply to the editorial in
Saturday's paper. The Chief says his first letter waa not
suggested by anybody else, but the expression he used
was well known to many, who had neither heard of the
University nor Senator Benton, Its author. The Free
Press la very glad that the Chief now understands that
Ita criticism la not directed in a personal way to him or
any other Individual, hut to the city's constituted police
authority and power. : Tha paper haa repeatedly taken
. tha position that tha laws now on tha statute book are
adequate to meet tha exigency and with tha support of
. such laws it la possible, In the opinion of this paper, to
: eloao up the vice dens in Klnston. The Free Press has as
Ita authority for this position the opinion of some of tha
best legal talent In the State, both on and off the bench.
There la no desire on the part of this paper to stir up
the ill-will of the present city authorities and its demand
for law enforcement haa no such purpose. It is the pur
pose of the paper to co-operate with the authorities in
enforcing the laws and ita endorsement of the work of the
officials will be forthcoming as soon as a determined and
co-operative effort to clean up the segregated district ia
made. 1
VWlunWudge Daniela first came here and called atten
tion t t&Sfi'2Iuti; It waa shown that the women of
the eegregatal 'district had been rounded up about once
a month and presented to the municipal court whera they
submitted to a nominal fin and returned to their places
to continue their work for another thirty days. That f
plan was a failure. The course pursued did not carry out
the spirit of tha law. For certainly the law's intent was
to get rid of the evil and ita application haa been rather
to foster It by licensing immoral women to practice their
vile' business here.' , ; , c"f .
.' What The Free Presa wants, and it speaks for the moral '
and best thinking people of this community, is to see the
segregated district closed up. The houses nailed up and
guarded by policemen, if necessary, to go so far, in rid
ding this district of a curse, which the law says must
not exist It haa been intimated that the Superior Court
will not under tha direction of Judge Peebles, take as
drastic action aa was the case with Judge Daniels. Be
that as it may, the city authorities can put a atop to this
menace to our society if they will to do so. The question
is will theyT .' v.VV ; '
THE LATEST PROPOSED .
RECORDER'S COURT.
' Tha City Council met Saturday night and authorized
the City Attorney to draw a bill providing for the estab
lishment of a recorder's court for Klnston, having crimi
nal jurisdiction in the city, and within a radius of a mile
and a half of the city limit. . The proposed plan is to cut
loose from the former idea! of a county court and was
prompted, it ia aaid. by the action of the citizens of La
Grange in making a fight for a separata court for Moseley
Township. It is proposed to tlx the salary of the re
corder at twelve hundred dollars and require a daily court
session. Tha plan also contemplates the Increase of the
mayor's salary from eight hundred to one thousand, in
as much a tha fees, which are now accruing to the Mayor
from the Municipal Court, would be cut off He is to
have charge, of the various city departments and ba held
responsible for their proper conduct
The Free Press sees several : objections to this latest
plan. First It is a matter of serious doubt whether at
this lata date in the sitting of the Legislature the neces
sary consideration can be given by the friends of the re
corder's court to insure a satisfactory bill, and then,
whether the Legislature will find time to pass it The
proposed salaries for the Recorder and Mayor are out
of proportion. The Free Press believes. The duties of the
Recorder would probably only require an hour or two,
at most for tha daily sittings, and six hundred dollars,
The Free Press thinks, would be entirely adequate In view
of the fact that the judge would have the larger part of
his time left for other remunerative work. The salary
of the mayor should certainly be mora than that paid the
Recorder. It may not be necessary for the Mayor to put
In hla full time in the service of the city, and if the proper
man is found he can, most probably, maintain an effective
oversight over the affairs of the city, insure a business
like administration of the work of all departments and
still have some time for his private affairs. If this ia the
case the lapsed salary might be all right At any rate,
sufficient pay should be given to make It possible to
secure an efficient man.
The Free Press believes that there is little probability
of a bill, which will better the present system of govern
ing Kinaton, being enacted at this session of the Legisla
ture. The best thing to do now js for Klnston people to
find a candidate for Mayor, who can give the city an effi
cient administration under the present system. There are
apparently too many irons in recorder's "fire" to make it
possible to get the desired relief from that source. '
ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN
COLLEGE HONORED.
S. Lee Sadler, a student of Atlantic Christian College,
won the State oratorical contest in Raleigh last Fridaj
night in competition with representatives from the Uni
versity, A. A MV Trinity, Wake Forest Davidson, Elon
College. Guilford College and Lenoir College. This
is perhaps the greatest intercollegiate honor in the State,
and a most signal one for the Wilson institution. The
Free Press Is informed that one of Lenoir's worthy young
sons, Joel Vause, received one of the three votes in the
preliminary competition to select a representative for the
college, which fact it feels will be of especial interest
to the many friends of Mr. Vause in the county. Con
gratulation to Mr. Sadler and President Caldwell. "A.
C C." has added a bright star to its achievements.
