THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 4. 1915 President Wilson seems inolined to question England's right to change the rules of warfare. Involving the in teteet of neutrals, to suit itself. The contention of tbe Allies that because Germany has allegedly violated all rules, they, too, have the right, will hardly be well taken. Two wrongs never made a right, and there is little rea son to think the United States and other countries, now at peace, will be content to allow their rights trampled re gardless. It is to be hoped that the protests and sugges tion! to England and Germany to modify their rulings will be availing. These countries should recognize their obligations to the innocent and unoffending neutrals. ' SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS BIDS ADIEU. . '' ,The Sixty-third Congress came to an end today at noon, amid all the time-honored ceremony and clamor. The dying Congress was a record-breaker in a great many : ways. Convening a month after President Wilson was In- , augurated two years ago, in extra session, it has with the exception of five weeks, prior to the beginning of the short term in December, been continuously on the Job. Six hun dred and thirty-seven day have actually been put In at ' Washington, Time has not been the only record smashed. More remedial legislation has been enacted than in any de cade of the history of the nation, perhaps. The Underwood Simmons tariff laws, the' new currency and bonking1 sys tem, "the income tax laws, repeal of the Panama ffree . tolls", provision and the ratification of twenty-one peaco : :t treaties stand out most prominently in the calendar pf , achievements. Many members of both housea have done ( noteworthy service. Conspicuous in the list being Sena- . tor F, M. Simmons and Representative Oscar Underwood. The majority party has never had abler nor more success ful leaden than this pair of strong men. y With, the' "taps" today many of the old familiar facci retire." Nine Senators and one hundred' and fifty mem. . ber of the House "go back home." The roster include! .'; many notables. Root, Bristow, Burton, Stephenson, Per ' kins,-Crawford, Thornton, Camden and White are the Senators. Of the Representatives Oscar Underwood and Cuii(fieeman Brougsard come back as Senators. Hob ' son. Palmer, Bartlett and Bartholdt are some of the best ! known jot hers to retire. ; ' j! -While the country appreciates the great service ren ;.1 dered by the Congress, there it general feeling of relief cat. the cessation of legislation for a while. The country - can well afford to let Congress stay adjourned for some time to cornel'' ! MOTOR DRIVEN FIRE APPARATUS NEXT. j The showing of Kinston's Fire Department has already v been referred to In The Free Press. The volunteers rend v TtA splendid service last year and for all the years that i- have gone, ; for that matter. The time is coming, how ever,' when Kinston will have to get additional equipment I At a matter of fact, the laddies are seriously handicapped ' how for lack of adequate equipment, and should a great conflagration break out here, it would be exceedingly dif- flcult to control with the facilities now at hand. Kin Is ston will have to add new equipment pretty soon, and it f V JU.IV ' of the latest type, is never wine. The purchase of obsolete machinery KINSTON'S BUILDING RECORD ENCOURAGING. The record of Kinston's new buildings for the year just ended, as shown in the annual report of the Fire Chief, is indeed encouraging. Ninety-eight new buildings were erected. Of this number sixty-one were dwellings and thirty-seven were business houses. Still there is a dearth of both in the city now. No desirable residence property is to be had, unless it be an isolated east here and there. and these are "gobbled up very" quickly. ' The first of the yeanreome of the storekeepers on Queen street had to give up theif places and retire temporarily from busi ness until other locations could be secured. These facts speak eloquently of the growth of the "Metropolis of East Carolina." ,,'';'-''.';; v'-';- ' More than three hundred thousand dollars three hun dred and twenty-two thousand, six hundred and twenty- five, to be exact are the figures shown in the building permit records for new buildings. This does not include repairs and alterations, and there has been a considerable amount of that done. Many of the stores on Queen Street have been renovated and have installed new plate glass fronts of the latest models. Making due allowance for conservative estimates of the builders, when permits wer secured and adding the cost, of repairs and alterations will The Free Press estimates; run the figures up to 'a half million invested in permanent building operations in Kin ston the past year. This estimate bears out the prophecy of The Free Press, made last summer at the half was point, when it was said that the building figures would run i half million or more. ' Great is Kinston, and The Free Press believes firmly that it is going to be greater! i WHY UPSET THE STATE WITH A PROHIBITION ELECTION? The Senate passed the Crier Anti-Jug Bill with a ref erendum clause, giving the people a vote on. the measurr the second Tuesday in August This. bill (minus the ref erendum) wa passed by the House last week by a prac tically unanimous vote. The ballot was 103 to 7. The Free press has before urged that the General Assembl; pass needed additional laws for the enforcement of pro hibltion, and this paper has taken the position, along with the majority of the papers of the State, that there was no necessity for a referendum on this question. The pco pie of the State went on record very emphatically in 1$0E in favor of prohibition, which has never been had so far and the Legislature would be but complying with iht expressed wishes of the people, when such enactment were made as to strengthen the prohibition of ihe use of liquor in the State. The Free Press has before declared that it would be unwise, in its judgment, to tear up the State with another prohibition election. If there wa any decided indication that the people had changed their position in the matter, there would be more excuse for i resubmitting of the question now.. But there is no sue!' indication. The members of the House, who are perhaps more closely in touch with the sentiment of the peopl than any other set of men in the State, do not believe that there has been a change of heart or they would not have voted practically unanimously to strengthen the laws The House has refused to consider the referendum amend ment, both before and after the Senate action, and The Free Presi hopes that ita position will not be altered. Better have a slight modification of the law, have it passed and through with than to endeavor to be too drastic anc force people to express themselves. This is a time wher the people of this State should stand together, pull tc gether and work for the mutual benefit of everybody, t serious situation will arise if this Commonwealth is torr asunder during the summer months in a bitter campaign And little else can be expected if the Senate's action be iome law. The General Assembly should handle this question and assume the full authority for so doing.

An amusing story of a Brit ish chauffeur who got tired of being shelled as a non-combatant is told by a cavalry officer. A big motor omni bus had deposited two doxen Tom mies close to one of the trenches just before dawn, and before he cquld get his car out of shell range, the chauf feur found himself under fire. HitJk was cursing his luck at not being allowed to assist in the firing line, when a big German shell shrieked through the body of his omnibus and exploded harmlessly in the' roadside ditch. V . "That's won it," grunted Chauffeur Atkins, who promptly, left his box seat and walked along until he mot some cavalrymen. "Arrest me," he shouted. "I'm a deserter.". "Where from!" asked the staff officer In charge. "From that blooming London Gen eral Elihiuit lack younder with a tunnel through it I'm caused if I am gointf to be shot at any more Take train to Falling Creek Friday morning at 10:03, We will meet you there and take you to the Harvey Farm. We will feed you and enter tain you and give you a chance at a bargain. : Vs. without the chance of shooting back." "Drive your omnibus to headquar ters, and later report to me," roared the officer, furious at the familiarity. That night the motor-driver dreamed of cells and vermin, but next morn lng. when he nervously reported him self for sentence, he was given a fine juicy beefsteak and some boiled leeks i "7 tn jnin hia .comrade in the firing line.
