AN APPRECIATION.
jThe Free Press was, through the co-operation of th
business people of Kinston, enabled to send out Frldaj
a special "Prosperity Edition," which it feels was a credit
to Kinaton and its growing importance. The edition,
setting forth as it did, the resources of this district, and
ibiographing the men who have made it and are contrib
uting ti its progress, was largely the work of Mr. J. W
'Thurston, a special edition expert from Philadelphia.
Mr. Thurston did his part without injecting the annoy
ing interruption! to the regular order of thing that se
frequently go with the "special outfits."" We ere glac"
to express our appreciation both to the Kinston busineai
people, and to Mr. Thurston, for their co-operation In
this effort, which we are confident will result in much fa
vorable publicity for the Kinston district.
WHY HAVEN'T WE A MEAT
AND MILK INSPECTOR?
We have asked this question before! And we havt
enwered k as well. We have assigned "political rea
sons" for this dereliction; We have charged that the
city official were guilty of "political traffic in health" In
; that they have been willing to permit the safety of the
: people of Kinaton to be jeopardized for fear of offending
aome meat or milk dealer or their friends.
Indifference would be bad enough, if it stopped at that,
but actual opposition and continual attempts to sidetrack
a measure so vital to the health and welfare of all the
people of Kinston is worse. There are men in the Coun
cil who do not propose to allow the matter to be "for
gotten," and there are a number of citizens who like
wise intend to keep it afresh until favorable action is
taken and the lives of the babies of Kinston as well as
the men and womenare safeguarded.
There Is a desire among some of the dairymen and
others interested in the 'let well enough alone" side of
the question to call attention to the fact that Kinston
has suffered no serious epidemic, which could be attrib
uted to its milk supply, and for that reason there is no
need to make any change in the regular established order
of things. It may be so that Kinston has not yet suf
fered sn epidemic, which has cost hundreds of innocent
lives. The Free Press is inclined to think that the situ
ation is rather one where the regular death rate among
the infants hereabouts has grown to a figure that in itself
is alarming. But why await an epidemic? It's the same
old story of "locking the stable after the horse has been
stolen." There's no logic nor sense in the position. Other
communities have suffered epidemics from just such
csrelessness and official procrastination and Kinston may
do likewise without much warning.
Kinston needs a milk and meat inspector and a sys
tem of inspection, which will guarantee, as well as mod
em methods and safeguards can insure, the purity of its
supply. Kinston needs an inspector nowl
GERMANY'S LIMIT.
The reports coming from Waashlngton indicate that
the celebrated Lusitania controversy with Germany is
far from being settled. The whole thing hinges on the
word "illegal," which Uncle $am wants Germany to use
in making its apology, and which Germany declines to do.
Many times since last May has a settlement been in
sight or. at least it has been thought that it would be
possible to arrive at a satisfactory adjustment. Each time
the theory haa been exploded. More or less apprehen
sion is felt in official circles, and some effect of the fore,
cast of Germany's continued obduracy was manifest on
the markets Friday. Unquestionably there must be ar.
?ml to the dickerings sooner or later, but aside from
that phase of the question, there is really no difference
n the situation now and what it has been since aris-
!ng.- Germany has dodged the disavowal clause through
lut the controversy and there is really no need now for
he matter to be considered more acutely than it has
een all the while.
Berlin announces that the German government lias
-eached the limit of its concessions in the matter. It is
ertainly the consensus of opinion that she reached the
imit of barbarity when her submarine sunk the Lusi
ania and sent to their death more than a thousand inno
cent non-combatants.
This Government will remain firm in its demand that
,he wanton slaughter of American and other non-com-Sutant
citizens on the high seas was not justified morully
ir legally, and it will decline to put its stamp of ap
iroval upon German's conduct until she shall have made
t complete and unequivocal denial. Germany's reputa
tion among the nations is worth much to her, and it
vill be a matter of telling concern with her if she truly
realizes that the brand of disapproval and condemnation
f her sister countries is Indelibly stamped on her record.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE SHOE MUST PINCH.
Wilmington Star: "President Wilson makes no per
sonal references in his speeches, but here is something
that certain loud talkers have reason to believe is aimed
at thera; Woe to any man who plays marplot or who
seeks to make party politics or personal ambition take
precedence over candor, honor and unselfish, unpartisan
service. The shoe is bound to pinch somebody."

WHEN "G. W." BLOWS.
Wilmington Dispatch: "A clever cartoonist is depict
ing Theodore Roosevelt, in portrayal of his vaunted
Spirit of 1912 as hammering the drum and George W.
Perkins trotting alongside, tooting the fife. The latter
is especially fitting, as when the money to run the cam
paign, becomes necessary the Colonel will expect George
W. to blow himself."
VOX POPULI
DAIRYMAN'S STATEMENT.
The following communication was
received at The Free Press office
this morning:
"Mr. Editor:
, I noticed an editorial in Satur
day'a Free Press commenting on the
milk supply In Kinston now, saying
"Taken as a whole, is unfit for hu
man consumption." For the benefit
of my patrons, I would like to have
the privilege of saying my dairy has
ivbvay been open to inspection; it
has been visited by every milk in
spector and found sanitary. My
cows have stood the test for tuber
culosis and none found that were in
fected. I feel safe in saying milk
from my dairy has always scored
high enough to pass the most rigid
system of inspection. I have not at
any time sold, any milk but pure
milk, from a herd of healthy cows.
If one of my cows are accidentally
hurt, I immediately separate her
from the rest, and none of her milk
is offered for sale until I am sure it
is perfectly safe for food.
"I care more for my patrons' wel
fare, my moral standing, than to
sell filthy milk for the limited com
pensation I would derive from it.
