T1IUBSDAT EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1115 It U saio. that seventy-seven par cant of the women of Chicago voted in tha mayoralty alaction Tueiday, In which Carter Harrison wet defeat. Dont know how Carter stood prior 10 tha election, but bet ha I "agin" women' suf- frsge now.' :. .:;.,'-:, men are engaged along the German-Russian battle line anil the utter annihilation of a hundred and fifty thousand unit would not necessarily' mean that Russia could not recover. Berlin news sources are discussing the plans of the' Germans with reference to their campaign against Russia, and it has already been given out that the Kaiser doesnt propose to send his forces further than Warsaw, and when that point falls, the Germane will rest on their oars, so to speak. We are Inclined to think that the Kai serines ant a little too sanguine, and that at least they had best defer their celebration of Russian defeat until a more decisive blow has been dealt. The submarine blockade ia succeeding. England has stopped shipping of 11 daeses within tha territory men rxl tiv the undersea fmrhters. and It la now said the British Admiralty (a considering putting an embargo on sJ shipping of foodstuffs and other necessities to Ger many. - Tha battle for supremacy In the aubmarina zone will no doubt have a most important bearing upon the outcome of conflict. In tha meantime the neutrals are ocarina their share of the burden. Two of America's ships have been sunk, both by mines, it is alleged and because they had ignored the German directions as to the course to traverse. ' " . ' ' The friends of Speaker Wooten rejoice to know that he ia at least holding his own and the chances for his recov arv lmorove as each day passes. The Free Press has noted with interest the complimentary expressions from the press of the State alnca Mr. Wooten'e unfortunate ac cident There aeems to be unanimous opinion. that he has made good aa Speaker. Some of our Western con temporaries are kind enough to declare that the faith of the East in Mr. Wooten' fitness for the Speakership was well founded. It Is to be regretted that h has been pre vented from serving his term, but the people of tha East are very glad that the honor of Speaker Pro-torn went to Mr. Bowie for his gracious conduct in the early days of the session, when It became clear that Mr. Wooten waa to be chosen Speaker, was regarded as commendable in this section. Klnston'a Mid-Winter Chautauqua is now on in full blast Many season tickets for the three days, running from today through Saturday, have . been ;, sold and have been reserved for the season. The Boosters, whose guarantee 'i;to'faUni'pW'i9l to reauWa nice little profit from their share of the proceeds, but this will be given for the benefit of a playgrounds movement or some other public enterprise of similar character. Kin aton people should patronise the Chautauqua, It affords an opportunity to get wholesome amusement, and it was with that view that the guarantors decided to back the lyceura bureau for tha local engagement Too few at traction of real merit and uplift coma to Kinaton and when high class lecturer and entertainers do come, they should be wall patronised. Tha Grand Theater ought to be filled for each of the six performances. , ( - , The Free Press regards it ae unfortunate that an In vestlgation of the private conduct of a judge of the Supe rior Court ahould be precipitated by aa occasion such as the New Bern controversy Solicitor Abernethy, his friends claim, wants only his official record cleared, and tha action of the resolution introduced in' the Legislature by Jlepresentatlva Clark of Bladen was not, it is said, instigated by Mr. Abernethy. The rumors ef Judge Car ter's misconduct have been in the air for several years, and if there was any ground for them, they should have been investigated sooner. A personal controveriy such at has now arisen should not be the vehicle of such an Investigation. By all means, such charges, if they tr well founded, should be looked into, but the investigation should be an impartial on without any possibility of being colored by personal animosities. ' The Raleigh Times, in commenting upon the sinking of the Evelyn, says that a protest will certainly be forth coming from Washington even If it doea not have very much effect upon 4h belligerents at the present time. The Ralolgh contemporary further suggests that when the present war is ended that the international ; statesmen should see to it that such rules be adopted as to Insure neutrals being accorded more consideration in future. That is all right, but suppose the rules are entirely ig nored, as they have been in the present struggle, what then f Wasnt there a rule" against running rough shod across Belgium? - What did it amount to, but to be vio lated most ruthlessly. Somebody said that "all to fair In lov and war" and certainly tha present belligerents have not hesitated to operate en that theory. As a matter of fact there is nothing fair in war, and no rules can be enforced without involving neutrals unnecessarily. What we want after this war is over, is to make it impossible to have any' mora, if such be within the range of man's schievement ' , There seems to be little question now about the truth of the German victory In tha East However, the fact Cat only one hundred and fifty men were engaged on t'. Russian side would hardly, in the opinion of The Free TV- , be jujtiSable grcsnds to conclude that Germany 1 J a cru -V.trjr defeat against the Cxar's forces. ' ' . It n rn.Vai'e ttat several million THE "TOTING" HABIT ; ' IS A COSTLY ONE. -. '''.-, ' The habit of Kinston's cooks in "toting" great quan titles of food from the pantries, ia a most costly one, and one that ought to be checked. . The housekeepers have little idea of the aggregate amount of food stuff that is daily carried off in this way. The streets are lined with cooks after tha dinner and supper periods, and they are all loaded with the familiar newspaper wrapped bundle, and perhaps a milk bottle or bucket to boot The negro regards it as her right one of tha perquisites of the job- to carry her "dinner" or "supper" home with her, when aa a matter ox lact, sne is "toting" enough to zeed whole family. Not only is the custom an expensive one for the housekeeper, but it does more than anything else to create a worthless and shiftless class of loafers, who are being fed from the "white folks" table. It not only makea It possible for a number of worthless negro men to lie around in idleness, but it encourages dishonesty among tha cooks. , No one believes that they restrict their "toting" to what is left over. They go into the pantry and help themselves to. the best that is on the shelves there. The custom ought to be checked. No housekeeper ob jects to giving her servant plenty of good, substantial food to eat but the Una ought to be drawn when they want to carry enough home to feed a half a dosen. There is no reason for permitting it The negroes are not so inde pendent as to be able to show their resentment by throw ing up their work. In fact concerted action on the part of housekeepers and an absolute check on this custom would make the supply of cooks and house servants much mora plentiful as well as the labor supply. In the tobacco season here, when so many of the cooks desert the kitchen for the mora attractive pay of the factory, who feeds them? It is safe to say that nine-tenths of them are fed by the "home guard," who retain their positions In the kitchens to enable them to feed the others. The various women's circles of the city might do well to consider movement to stop this bad practice. WHAT OTHERS SAY THE QUESTION IS SETTLED. Winston-Salem Journal: "So far as we are concerned. the question of shipping liquor into North Carolina has been settled. The vote in the House Friday was sufficient it seems to us, to settle the question in the mind of any right thinking person. As we have stated before, we feared to make the prohibition law more drastic, lest pub lic, sentiment, especially in our cities, would not suBtain it, but the overwhelming vote in favor of the bill by legisla tors from every county lit the State, who come direct from the people and know the will of the peopte, if anybody doea, is sufficient to convince us that sentiment will sus tain the anti-shipping bill.' The Senate cannot afford to do less than uphold the House in this matter. The Senate should make the anti-jug bill the law of the State and then the people of North Carolina, the overwhelming ma jority of Christian people, who will have brought the law to pass, should stand shoulder to shoulder and see that It is enforced strictly. If this Is not done our last state will be worse than our first" SPEAKER WOOTEN . ., Charlotte Observer i "The news from Speaker Wooten Indicatsa internal injury of a character which will make Improbable his return to active duties in the present Leg islature, a the term Is drawing fast to a close. This would be a circumstance over which more than ordinary regret would be in manifestation by his friends. It has developed that no man has entered upon the duties of Speaker of the House more thoroughly equipped than Mr, Wooten. The people of the East, among whom he was best known, had good ground for their unqualified endorsement of his abilities. He has proved not only an able parlia mentarian, but a man of absolute fairness in his rulings, and who has been guided by a remarkable degree of clearness in his judgments. If he had lacked the confi dence of any party or faction, such lack of confidence was dissipated with the first demonstration of his policy as presiding officer. Speaker Wooten sprang into a spon taneous popularity, and The Observer voices the senti ment of the State when it hopes for him a speedy and complete recovery." ; - "The Thinkers of the Country Are the Tobacco Chewcrs"- said one of the greatest thinker this country ever produced. ptil T THE CARTER-ABERNETHY CASE. Wilmington Dispatch: "Sentiment is said to be in con trol in the Legislature not to investigate the Carter-Aber- Abernethy controversy,' and for the simple reason, we take it that the Legislator has nothing to do with the matter. That is, nothing to do with it in its present shape. Counsel for Judge Carter assumed the common sense po sition, it seems to us, when they firmly, but politely point ed out that It ia none of the Legislature's business, unless charges are filed against Judge Carter. There haa been soma insinuations during the past week 'or so, but with these the Legislature has nothing to do. We grant that if Judge Carter's character or conduct on the bench needs investigation ft should be done, but let those who know, if there are any, come forward, as loyal citixens to the Com monwealth, and tell what they know. In such event the Legislature should proceed and will proceed, we believe. However, as long as the investigation hingea simply upon the spat between the judge and the solicitor we see no rea son for Investigation; no more so than for legislative in vestigation of many other contempt case In which laymen are Involved, and certainly the rights of laymen should be as dear a l those of lawyers. T . " Say the Editor . "A political editorial to write and almost time for the presses to start. If ever I need calm, clear, quick think ing I need it now.
