FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1915 mil ii '' ii i ' ' i i i i ii ' i i Now that the Arabic case has been disposed of, the , Washington contingent will move the previous question the LusItahTa controversy, if you please. t the Wilson officer. dling a! desperado and calling the attention of a respec- able citiaeif ( some' slight infraction of theshiw. How ever, very often officious police officers seeniingljhmake no distinction and approach the respectable Citizen in a way that necessarily gives him offense and unduly so. In an address. to his patrolmen, the chief of police of one of the larger cities of the South, several yean ago, cau tioned them about making unnecessary arrests. "Not ine officer who makes the largest number of arrests, but the one who keeps the best order on his beat, is the best officer, the chief told his men, and wisely so. Police should be men of tact and good judgment, for they fre quently have occasion to use such talents. Take, for in stance, the work of the traffic officer. Numbers of people pasa who are visitors or unaccustomed to the rules, and wba unintentionally violate the laws. Such people should not be haled in an offensive "I'll pull you.sure" sort of way, but with tact and diplomacy. There is a lesson to be gotten from Wilson's experi ence. Those whose duty ii is to select patrolmen should appreciate that men of character and judgment are needed, and not so much brawn and bulldozing. The News and, Observer "wants a competent and effi cient police management in Raleigh." Is Raleigh now under commission form or city manager plan? t ;. , 5 j i ' It wasHhUncT in the revenue officers, who were in vited to partake of "some of the best peach brandy ever mulcn by the unwary makers, to respond by arresting the wouli-be hoels. Lexington observed "outlook days" this week. It takes about all a fellow's time "these days looking out for the various, and sundry special days. A few more and every day will be a "special." ; . " MR. WILSON'S ENGAGEMENT. The engagement of President Wilson to Mrs. Norman Gait of Washington, which was announced late Wednes day afternoon from the White House, comes as a complete surprise to the country ait large. The Washington cor respondent had either no inkling of the activity of the little Representative of Hymen, or out of respect for the feelings of the President they refrained from circulating The fact that Austria had to enlist thehelp of about half of Europe And Involve the other half in war in order tc whip little Serbia, and to date that end has not yet been accomplished, should be some consolation to the "Laby kingdom." -: Mr. Farmer; Lest you forget, we continue to remind you that the Kinston Fair ii for the especial purpose of giving you an opportunity to exhibit your products and by so doing to stimulate your neighbors to put forth . greater and more earnest efforts to excel! their past pro t ductiona. The Fair officials are anxious that everything ' -that i-isndmanufactured 'wltMri the teiTeountlesi of the Fair circuit be represented in exhibit at the Fair ; in Noveraber.AH farm products, live-stock, poultry, kit chen and dairy products are wanted. Keep in mind that the Kinston Flr Association haa done its part by provid- ing the grounds and the opportunity to let the world knm' what Lenoir and her sister counties can do. It is ;, up to the people of the Fair district to make the Kinston ; Foir excell in every department, and especially by con tributing' their exhibits, . Comptroller Williams told a Kentucky audience that i flree North Carolina banks were getting twelve per cent. for ordinary loans. Why isn't it possible to make public th names of those banks, and let some attention be given them by the authorities whose duty it is to protect the i people from usury. The money loan shark and the banks, 'which practice usury, should be "labelled" so that the public, who support them by borrowing from them, may know what they are doing. Unless the instances re , ferred to by Mr. Williams are cases of very small loans, there a minimum interest charge without regard for the . amount of the Joan or rate of interest Is necessarily ap plicable, there U no excuse for the bankers violating the hws and their acts In so doing should not be pardoned. ' ' They're off! - hay ball is the "marching order" that's etlrring Old Philadelphia today. .: r iNit "' " e - - OFFICIOUS POLICEMEN. The oflWiousness of policemen frequently becomes offen sive, and no doubt, if more complaints were made there Would be more jlice officers experiencing some such dis ciplinary "call downs" as was meted out to the Wilson officer, who was adjudged by Superior Court as using more force than was necessary in making en arrest. The recced of the Wilson man. showed that he at one time was connected with a circus, a class, as a rule, of the toughest sort of humanity conceivable. Too much care In. selecting police officials cannot be taken. There is evidence in abundance of the laxity in requirements of character and fitaess for the work, shown by the police graft scandals that have been unearthed in some of the large cities within the past few years. There are many evidences of the unfitness of the personnel of the forces of the, smaller cities. Far too often do police officers over estimate their importance, and are found to be too assert ive., in the discharge of their duty, as was the case with rumors that his attentions to Mrs. Gait were aitracun attention. ' " During Mr. Wilson's tenure of office ha has proven over and over again that he is worthy of tho esteem and res pect of the American people, and that their confidence, manifested in him. in elevating him to the first place in the land, was not misplaced. Fourteen months ago when the sad news of the serious illness of his wife was flashed to the world, there was grief abroad. Genuine sympathy was felt for Mr. Wilson and the admiration of the world aroused because he had so bravely borne the burden when the people outside his immediate family circle were not even aware that the Death Angel stalked near. Be it said to the credit of the American people, they have shown unusual consideration and a fine sense of apprecia tion of the desire of Mr. Wilson to avoid social functions and those occasions, which were not in keeping with the period of mourning for Mrs. Wilson. Although the news of his forthcoming marriage comes almost with the suddenness of a shock, the President will have the good Wishes of the American people. They will wish for him all the happiness which the new companion ship may bring to him. '' - WHAT OTHERS SAY INDICATIONS OF GREATER NAVY. Raleigh Times; "One thing that leads us to look for a greater navy is the unanimity with which Congressmen who are mending their fences are coming out for the na tional defenses." inkers of the Country Are Tobacco Chewers sstti-efte-efhegreatest thinkers this country ever produced. NERVE! A whirr and a whiz ! Then nothing be.tween our bird man and destruction except his nerve ! He takes no chances with strong, rank, nerve-breaking tobacco. His choice is mild, mellow PICNIC TWIST with the long-lasting taste. CHEWING TOBACCO CAUSE FOR "REFLECTION " v- Durham Sun; Testimony ih the Indiana'polja election fraud cases is that blocks of votes were sold at 10 cents each. Tammany on reading this wilt realize the fortunes it has wasted in the past." UNDOUBTEDLY TRUE. Hickory Record: "Are editorials read? seems to he a .liiestion agitating some of the brethren in Eastern Caro lina. Good 'editorials are undoubtedly read wherever they appear, and the editor who complains that people pay no attention to hi.t stuff should fill his columns up on p'.ate matter. The people will read anything that is worth reading." RESOURCEFULNESS EMPHASIZED. Wilmington Dispatch: "The preparedness or resources f Germany must be wonderful. With much greater area tnd with by far more people and access to the outside world during this war the entente countries have had a difficult time making out while Germany, cut off from mtside commerce, has been swinging along at a great liu. and still shows no signs of running short. Aside from what goods could be smuggled in from nearby coun .ries Germany has had to depend entirely upon home production, while Great Britain, France and Russia have been able to get it by the ship load from neutral coun tries." AS WE HAVE ALREADY REMARKED. Rocky Mount Telegram: "And while it appears that the officers of the law over in Lenoir county have gathered in the two trunks of fine liquor, all right, they are not sutisfied whether the holder of the checks for the trunks a man named Potter or a fellow named Skinner is the real owner and violator of the law in the matter of bring ing in the shipment from another State. It nevertheless, appears that Potter is in a rather pitiful fix, whether he did or did not own the boose. It's a great warning, how ever, to the unsuspecting that you had better not take a chance on bringing along tho check for some unknown fellow's baggage."
