WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, 1916 Still we'd be glad to know the contents of Cowan's "broken remarks" address, which he no doubt very care fully prepared. ' ' ' ' There's one thing about the suffrage question, a fel low can always count on creating a favorable impression with at least a part of the feminine variety regardlees of what position be takes. The young woman reporter from Boston who is play ing the part "of detective and rendering? the State aid in . the prosecution of Mrs. Mohr on the charge of conspir acy to murder her husband, may rind it r.ecebsary to pir- . am her new role for a livelihood in future, as her fur ther usefulness as a reporter is somewhat questionable. A Kinston man who spent the day out of town war heard to remark that be always felt more proud of his home town after a visit to soma of its neighbors. And he did not mean to throw any "mud" or cast any re flections on the neighbor wither. Just aimply emphasiz ing the fact that Kinston Is abreast of the times and compares favorably with ths beat of them. - i a The editor of The Free Press was the only one of the five delegates from the State Press Association to put Jn an appearance at the State Forestry Convention Tues day at New Bern, and was called uion suddenly and quite unexpectedly to substitute for President James II. Cowan of the Press Association, who was scheduled to deliver come "Broken Remarks." Tho effort of the sub stitute was thought to fully measura up to the title. Editor John J. Farrls of Ildgh Point has been named postmaster by tbe president at the instance of Congress man Stedman., This news k gratifying to Mr. Farrlss' many friends among the members of the State Prese Association. He is one of the most active members of V " rgan'iMtloV and ria; always present at the aniyual gatherings. Mr. Farriss, like many other good nowa- . , paper men, iae lent his influence to the upbuilding of his home community, ami the appointment comes to him as a " worthy reward for his efforts. Governor Craig's commendation of the press, the pul pit and other agencies and individuals (which have un qualifiedly condemned the Wayne county lynching to most reassuring. The stand of the Governor la but the one to be expected of the chief executive of a great State, No man in high official fife can afford to even attempt to offer any excuses whatsoever for mob violence or to condone the lawless act of an irate gang of citizens, who take the law, in their own hands. The Governor's attitude is moat encouraging. The non-partisan attitude of Minority Leader Mann of the House in regard to the question of preparedness is en couraging. Mr, Mann has been recognised as a small army man, but like others of that clan, he is convinced by the terrible events iwhk-h have come to pass In Europe within the past two years that the time for laying down arms and disarmament is not yet ripe, and that the need seems apparent for the strengthening of America's de fense not for invasion and aggressive purposes, but for keeping back any attempts at invasion on the part of foreign powers vhould their appetite for gain be so whet ted by successes against their enemies in the present conflict. To be sure whether we want to or not, we are forced by developments to realise that there is probabil ity of trouble eventually, and the safe and sane course is at least to make reasonable preparation to care for ourselves. THE STATE'S NEGLECTED RESOURCES. It is amazing and astounding when one comes face to face with the Jack of interest that ia manifested by the people of the State, both public officials and private citi xene, toward their great resources. When the facta rela tive to the vast neglected resources and the wanton decimation of them in the past are reflected one cannot help but be impressed with the great need for an awak ening to the imperativeness of conservation. Fortun ate Indeed is tho State in the possession of a few con secrated men and women who are devoting time, energy and means to spread the gospel of conservation. And en couraging to a degree is the fact that the leaven is work ing, very slowly, unquestionably, but perceptibly, never theless. One-tenth of North Carolina's wealth is involved in its forewt resources and allied induatries. Yet not one cent is the State appropriating to conserve ami prevent the destruction for all time t the great forest uml tim ber tracts of the State. Figures submitted to the For estry Convention at New Bern Tuesday showed thdt the State receives in revenue from the taxable values of its timber lands and the lumbering industries, approxi mately, a half million dollars annually, etill in giving nothing in return. The apathy and indifference to this vast resource was emphasized in the enactment of laws at the last seiutwn of the General Assembly without mak ing any appropriation whatsoever for their enforcement or operation. It was lamentable that Governor Craig, Congressman Small, State Senator Ward and other officials, who were scheduled for addresses, could not, on account of other engagements, be present at New Bern. Undoubtedly the time has come -when the State leaders must be aroused to the importance of throwing around this great asset of the State its forestry the protection that intelli gent conservation will give it; and not oirly that, but the State must conduct a campaign of education among its people, that they may know and understand the im portance of co-operating in looking ahead. The sugges tion of Mr. Millard, president of the Roper Lumber Com pany, for a State reservation, where such demonstration could be carried on is, The Free Pres believes, a vital one. Mr. Millard backed his suggestions iby proffering enough iand for such use when the State and Forestry Association was ready to undertake the work. Reduction of fire losses, stoppage of cutting small tim ber, protection of young shoots from cattle running at large by enactment of a universal stock law were among the principal recommendations made at the New Bern convention. To carry out and benefit from these sug gestions there is need for co-operative effort on the part of farmers, the railroads, the lumber men, hunters, whose careless camp fires are responsible for great destruction, and all others who own anil have to do with timber lands. The obsorvanco of conservation methods would not entail the working of hardship or the loss of profit, it was pointed out by those who spoke,' but would benefit the present as well as ay the foundation for the future. The protection and propagation of this the most neg lected, but one of the greatest single assets of the State, is indeed, most essential nnd vital to the future wel fare of North Carolina. WHAT OTHERS SAY KEEPING COUNTRY HOYS ON FARM. Winston-Salem Journal: "Dr. IClarence Poc spoke the truth in Columbia the other day when he told the South Carolinians that the reason boys of the farms are flock ing to the cities is to be found in tho fact that country life lacks those conveniences for happy living which city life affords. When farm life is made more attractive when more amusement is provided or the young people of the farms the boys and girls will cease to have a desire to get to the city as soon as they are old enough to get a job." MORE ENDORSEMENTS OF JUDGE ALLEN. Rocky Mount Telegram: "The fact that Judge W. R. Allen, of the North Carolina Supreme Court bench, ap pears to stand a pretty good show at landing the vacan cy in the United States Supreme Court, caused by the death of Justice Lamar, is received with general ap proval hereabouts; and if endorsements from a State amount to anything and the most unanimous approval counts for anything with President Wilson, we can't well see how he can do otherwise than name the Goldd4oro man for the job." The Expression of Many a Kidney Sufferer In Kinston. Stubborn backache is cause to sus pect kidney trouble. When the kid neys are inflamed and swollen, stoop ing brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doun's Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys relieve aching backs. Here's Kinston proof: Mrs. Ray Dawson, 3US W. Blount St., Kinston, says: "My kidneys were in a weak condition. I had dull pains in my back and loins and in the morn ing I was so sore and stiff that I could scurcely uo my housework. I hud headaches and the kidney secre tions were unnatural. My ankles al so became swollen. 1 tried different medicines, but nothing helped me. 1 finally used Doan's Kidney Pills, and they put my bock and kidneys in good condition." Price f)0c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Dawson had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.
