NEW YORK OFFICE Metro, M.iUion Avenue. Mr. Robert W of Eastern Department Files of f ric Press can be seen. Entered at the poatoffice at Kinston, North Carolina, as Mcond-cUss matter under act of Confess, March 3, 1879. opoliUtn Buildincr, No. 1 Syke, Jr., in solo charge After Six P.

SATURDAY EVEN I NO, JANL'AUY 22, 19IS Raleigh will Monday take on a metu-opolitan air in theatrical circlea. The famous funprt-r. Oraldine Farrar, is lo favor the Cupilal City with a concert for which most of Raleiifh and a KN'at many of t,,e music-lovlfift people throuRhout the Stole will assemble. Juit why the Rapublicans want to oppor.a the Pan -American Union has not been made clear, but perhaps they hav not yet been able to take in the proportion in it." fullest meaivinK. It is to be hof! that in "time the de tails of the enJarged interpretation of tho Monroe Ooc ; trine my be worked smtUfftorHy, end that those who faal to grasp Us significance now may do so before their opposition becomes seriou coming from Washington indicaite that Justice Allen will have serious consideration when President Wilson takes up the matter of the appointment; Virginia has two can didates in the persow of Congressman A. J. Montague and Judge Kelly; Georgia has put forth Hon. Alexander King; Alabama has suggested Judges Clayton and Gruhb of its Federal Court; West Virginia would like to see Solicitor Iavia given the h.nor; members of the Presi dent's nfhViul family have lx n mentioned, and so the list might l continued. Theae are the first choices of the respe-t.ive States, but how mbout their second choices? The Free Pres believes that Mr. Taft would run a pretty close rjee for second place, and taken os a whole ho would probably head the list. The South appreciates Mr. Taft'a ability; his judicial temperament and "hi breadih of mind, which would so well serve him and the country, should be placed on the Supreme Court, and too, the people of the South know (hat the judiciary should be as non-partUun a.s it U pos sible lo make it. North Carolina is first for Justice Allen. Its delegation in Congress U urging his appointment and the press and people of the St:te, almost to A single unit, irrespective of polilicul faith, ure solidly for him. Should it become apparent that Judge Allen's name had been eliminated from the list, however, The Free Press believes that un questionably thu appointment of Mr. Taft would meet with a ve,y large share of approval from the Old North State. And it should do so. The Times Hustley, Volume I.,Number 1, Is the latest addition to our exchanges. This little paper is published monthly for; Up RaWigh Time caw ler. The first Issue lias the picture of two of the carriers who have made tinuaualJy aatifactory Tocord, and there ia boosting newt for aft ofthe city carriers, out of town agenUi and tha boy who oll on the strets of Raleigh. We con- gratul&te the Times' circulation department on its Inter . esting and tterpriing undertaking. The cartoonist of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch depicts Uncle Sam aa a friend in need. He has drawn a pic tura ol deapernie looking character of the , Mexican type with heavy spim and big guns standing at th door marked U. 8." and knocking; he title or the scem- i "When a Villa, needa a friend." Just what the nr'.ist in tends to convey is not entirely clear, bat to be sure, th United Stole s a friend to U who need hulp, and jus tke can be trenerally expciHed even though the applicant be a Villa. VILLA WILL HARDLY BE TAKEN ALIVE. . . ' "Come and get me" is Villa's sarcastic message to his enemies. Report sent out In the Friday morning papers" indicated that , frransa' men had taken him at his word and had gotten him.; Too bad that those reports should have been discredited by later dittpatches. The Free PrtSs regarded the story of the capture of Vilki and fifty of his follower with siwio degree of doubt all the time. Villa real itm that he is bring hunted for the exprcs purpose of fwing a firing Mjual, and it is hardly logical to presume that he will ever allow himself to be taken alive. Very naturally he will die fighting, pre f wring that method to being pulJicly executed fur the edification of his enemies, and those whum ho has perse cuted, and who are anxious Mr rwwige. Yes! when the reports thut Villa has been killed in battle with hia pursuer i-ome, and have tho apearaiice of reliability, they may be accepted as correct much more sanguinely than can any to the effect that he has been capturod, for it fa uite safe to predict that his capture before death could only !. accomplished through tho be trayal of a trusted follower. THE SOUTirS CHOICE FOB SUPREME COURT. Mr. I. C. Milford, a '"Democrat from Scuth Carolina," is quoted , in the Washington dispatches as stating that tho Southern States, or tut least many of thrm, want Mr. Taft ajtMinted U tho vacancy m the Supreme Itcnch to Rucceed tlc- lute Associate Justice limar. In it sense, Mr. Milford is, we belief?, ciurect. Most of the South ern State have their favorite suns, wiio very naturally are their first choice Ur tlw high pkvee. North (Vrolin i has a prominent cund'.dats in Asocittt Zi'slicc William R. Alien of the State Supremo Court, and the reports braver man." MAN'S PART OVERLOOKED! The Illinois Vice Commission appointed in IKK!, with Lieutenant-Governor O'Hara as chftirman, has made its Anal re-port after an exhaustive investigation entailing the examination of many wayward girls and fallen women, consideration of wage paid in the various de partment stores, factories, restaurants and other places employing women and girls. .The report declares that poverty is the chief caune of immorality. The Commis sion discovered that thousands of girls are driven into prostitution Itecause the low wages paid them is not suffi cient to feed and clothe them. A, rather surprising phase of the report is the finding that a large number of girls In domotibic service were found to be Immoral and good prey for the white slave agonts. The Commission discovered that the highest standard of morals found among any set of girls existed among 'ho girls in the high schools, colleges and universities, thus supporting the opinion which is generally held, that Immorality is very largely due to ignorance. The Commission made recommendations for the en actment of a minimum wage law; the repeal of all social laws, which had fallen into disuse, the establishment of homes for moral and industrial schooling of reformed wo men; aa well as a recommendation that the newspapers ha prohibited from printing the details of court cases in volving moral lapses. These findings and recommehdations are, perhaps. aJM right, us far as they go. The Free Press Lelieves, how ever, that the Commission should have touched upon the double standard and made recommendations for ade quate, punishment of men found guilty of lending to the Immorality of girls. The Commission's findings, like most others barulling the vice problem, seem to deal with it almost entirely from the viewpoint of the unfortunate girls. . Until the responsibility resitinir upon the men for such delinquencies i fHy appreciated and punishment adequate is mated out if 'indeud, it is possible to pres cribe adequate punishment for the human monsters, who would take. advantage of innocent and defenseless girls liWle progress will be made. It is like trying to save a valley from being flooded when a dam breaks, by catch ing tho water instead of mending the hole in the datn. The cause miwt be given attention rather than applying remedies to the effect. WHAT OTHERS SAY LEADER KITCHIVS HARD JOH. Charlotte Observer: "Some of the papers are remurking on the fact that Representative Kitchin, the Democratic lemler of the Hi use, should have attended the meeting with Secretary McAdoo ami others to discuss plans for raising revenue for national defense as an incident r.:her strange anil unexpected. The Washington coM-'spondent of thu New York Sun says: 'Representative KiU-hin's position as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee seems to be somewhat embarrassing. He is opposed to the preparedness program, yet finds him If invited to such conferences as a-t the McAdio home to discuss plaius for getting the . .i v... . I.. f . revenue to carry oui ine rresioe.ni s program.' If our memory is cor rect Leader Kitchin some days ago outlined his policy in the matter of preparedness ami it was to the effect that he would first endeavor to .save the tax-payers aa much expense as possible, and that he would then, h iving done all he could in that di rection, give whatever of aid he was able to give to the Administration in the matter of raising revenues. His conference with .Secretary McAdoo simply indicates that he is endeavor ing to carry out his expressed intentions." SHERIFFS SALE. By virtue of tne Mosley Creek Drainage Distrfct Assessment Roll.

Fairhrother'a Kverythinx: "We don't know how the Wayne county lynchers will come out of their trouble, but there is no doubt about the fact that the sheriff has put himself in bad by attempting to explain, and in a tiu'nsure. condone the work of the mob and put the blame cn the (iovernor. The same excuse was made for the Marietta mob, but the men who took the law in the-ir own hands were murderers, nevertheless, ami struck '.heir State as well as their victim a coward's blow. An olticer sworn to uphold the law should at least make a jiretense of trying to live up to his oath, and when ha cannot do thus it is time for him to retire in favor of a The Farmers & Merchants Natl Bank AYDEN, N.
