FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1915 The removal of the slime and winter's accumulation from the drinking fountain waste is worthy of mention. The variolic enail like shapes really gave a fellow a spooky feeling when gazing down on them in the atti tude of quenching his thirst. The excavation on Gordon street for the sewer con nections preparatory to paving is not at all objectionable. The sooner the sound of the stone crusher and the smell of tar the better. With the business section of the city paved, a rigid enforcement of the anti-spitting law and the ordinance prohibiting the throwing of fruit peeling on the streets, the city beautiful idea will take on new life. No friends I we are not actually dreaming, but speculating" upon a possibility should the new city ad ministration see it in the same light. Twaa a sad discovery that awaited the Elizabeth City Elks upon their return from the theater a night or two ago. Some sneak thief, or thieves, had been in and made off with the "refreshments." ' The correspondent, report ing the "calamity,'' adds, that some liquid refreshments ; were In the stolen supply. This feature will not be questioned ty the public. There might be a doubt as to the proper use of the word "some.' A word conveying the idea that the refreshments were principally liquid would 1m more In keeping with the record of such cele brations, i . - . ' ' . -. : Whether or no commander Thiorichens loses his stand ing in the German navy, because he has declined to hurt his ship and crew to certain destruction, will have little bearing on the opinion of the general public with regard to his action. It will be generally considered as the only sensible thing that he could have done. Nothing on earth was to be gained by making a dash for the sea in the face of the overwhelming odds, Thierichens could have filled a watery grave off the Atlantic coast and possi : bly most of his men would have followed him. Monu ments would have been erected to the dead heroes, but they wilt be far more useful to Germany at the conclu sion of tho war, when she will need a few able-bodied men, who are not wearied and broken by actual service than would be the memory of their rash attempt to evade a network of hostile ships. THE STRENGTH OF THE DARDANELLES. One of the surprises of the war has been the successful defense that the forts of the Dardanelles straits, guard ing the approach to the Turkish capital, have made. A fleet of tho most modern and powerful ware raft ever as- , semMed in one battle line, bombarded the forts for days. suffering severe losses to many of tho attacking ships, the otter destruction of three or four battleships, but apparently doing inconsequential damage to the forts. It is reported that the damage done, has been repaired since the let-up in the attack. The land batteries, supported by the mines and other coast defense methods, have prov en that (he terrible superdreadnaught hasn't exactly got ten everything in its favor. The Turkish Sultan has taken a now leaBO on life and expresses his confidence that the forts cannot be taken. The Allies, who are battling to reduce ithem seem to have come to each conclusion them selves, for their activities have ceased now for. almost a month. The prediction that Turkey would be forced from her European territory has yet to lie accomplished. APPRECIATION OF OPPORTUNITIES. The Raleigh' papers announce that wire service to the : outside world, which was entirely cut off by last Friday's ; storm, wae restored about midday Wednesday, Not only - was the blitxard which , visited . ';the 'capital city last week the most disastrous that has been experi enced in that section, but the Interference with the out side communication was more serious than any that has preceded. Little does the public generally appreciate the convenience of modern living until temporarily deprived. It takes an upheaval pf the Friday storm kind to bring us to a .realisation of blessings and comforts thai we enjoy. The njuMrspaper comes In for its share of com plaint and abuse and there are many people who do not stop to consider what they are getting for the paltry sub scription price of their daily paper. A general interrup tion of news exchange for a day or two is a pretty seri ous thing nevertheless. It just means that those "wise olas," as well as the appreciative class, who discount the value of the newspaper have no source of information for obtaining the happenings of the world. The Free Press was not without wire service except one day, but it felt even that. The value of keeping ever in touch with what's going on in the remotest sections of tho world as well as the events of interest at home, should not be underestimated. THE COST OF THE ELECTRIC IMPROVEMENTS. The opening of bids for the new equipment for the electric plant brought out the fact that the estimates of Engineer White were considerably lower than what would actually be required to put the plant in proper haic to take care of the needs of the city for a reasonable num- J ber of years. The estimate's were in the neighborhood of $.10,000, while the bids aggregate approximately $50,0(11. 1 The action of the Council in not being willing to invest an insufficient amount in the plant, and the proposition to negotiate for terms on the additional expenditure was, Tho Free Press believes, the wise course to take. There is certainly no need to spend twenty-five or thirty thous and dollars in temporary work, which Will have to be done over again in a year or two. As The Free Press understands the situation, tho electric light plant has sfc- ond call on the bond issue, and if tho work needed there can Iks done without interfering with the street work, already provided for, it should be done. If the financial arrangements can be satisfactorily made, there will prob ably be no objection to the increased indebtedness on the part of the citizens. m. WHO PAYS THE PULLMAN COMPANY'S PORTERS? The Federal (Commission on Industrial Relations is now holding an inquiry in Chicago with reference to the pay and general working condition of the Pullman car port srs. Several negroes, who have been in the service for many years, have testified that their salaries were hardly sufficient to pay their road expenses, to say nothing ot supporting their families, which had to be done from their tips. Twenty-five to thirty dollars is the average pay from the employing company, but the general public, who already have been required to pay handsomely for the privilege of riding in the parlor or sleeping car, must contribute seventy-five to a hundred dollars per month for the support of the wives and children of tho porters and incidentally that the stockholders of the Pullman Company may got their dividends in ever-increasing ratio. The information that the commission is gleaning from the testimony of the porters is not new to the traveling public. It is common knowledge, and any porter will very quickly inform you that but for his tips, the job would have no attraction for him, whatsoever. The company, of course, knows nothing about the tips. That is puroly a matter for he porter to handle with his passengers. The officials would hardly contend, we think, that the pay given their porters is adequate to sustain them at the same time an increase in pay will hardly be forth coming before it becomes necessary perforce of legisla tion or its probability. It wouldn't be amiss for the Federal' Commission to examine some passengers and find out how much more considerate the average porter is of the wants of the individuals when the coin is put in evidence. Whether the porter is working for the com pany's hand-out or the public's tips would possibly be ascertained in that manner without trouble. WHAT OTHERS SAY, 3 .::.. 1 V ft .r -i-. i M'M?

Up in Winston-Salem, Rev. Mr. Ham is conducting a series of big meetings, and in Charlotte the noted evangelist, Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, is conducting a revival. Each is taking place in a specially constructed tabernacle, which shows the great interest the people of these two cities are taking in the event.

Yet he cant get married because in the eyes of the Italian law he is a woman. Guiseppe is much in love with pretty Maria Annunstala Bracchia. Two weeks ago he sought a marriage license. Then some one dis covered that Guiseppe was legally registered by mistake as a girl baby wen he was born. Hordes of attorneys have been unable to convince the Italian authorities that the bearded Guiseppe is anything legally but an old maid. But Guiseppe and Maria believe they have the judges beaten. If Guiseppe is legally a woman, then in the eyes of Um law it is not wrong for Guiseppe and Maria two women to live together is the ultimatum from their lawyers.'. That has the I takan Judges begging for air. It looks like Guiseppe will get his license. ' ' ,! A RKETS TODAY'S QUOTATIONS PRODUCE Wholesale Fricea Reported by the Eiaston Peanut Compaay , r..-i.
