FEBRUARY , 1916 We presume that Representative Keating belongs to tha eugenic flan : " ' , ' Well, at any rate, we rather for the Washington and Berlin folks to keep on talking over the situation than to exchange any blows. Our idea of a real hero is the Britisher, who being aboard the Appam at the time it was captured by a German aea raider, had the temerity to take a picture of the raider. It la with regret that we learn that our friend Home of the Rocky Mount Telegram la Buffering with "second childhood" in the shape of. mumps. Our beet wishes for an early restoration to a state of again relishing acids! , - '. i , a- Coincident! jr Rh ths reports of Villa's being sur rounded comas the won! that he has swooped down on a peaceful village and after ransacking it, left a death mes sage for all the "gringoes," who may have the temerity to continue their abode in Mexico. ,i , t " Several of Klnston's neighboring towns .report active campaign in progress against the vice evil. While these campaigns are in progress it will be well for the Kin iton police to keep a tharp lookout for newcomers, who may be put to flight by tha activities in the other locali ties against their illicit buainess. , "; " 1 e - The Ford Peace Tribunal held its first meeting in Stockholm Monday, said a press dispatch. We were un der the Impression that all the peace delegate had re turned to their native heaths; but perhaps the guests of the Detroit manufacturer are endeavoring to discharge their obligations by apparently clinging to the "ahking hip. , ', A SUGGESTION WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION I V Senator Dillingham's amendment to the proposed Na tional prohibition resolution, which would prevent the In terstate ahipment of liquor, and which would only re quire a majority vote f the Congresi instead of a Ten endum vote of the States, is one worth considering. Na tional prohibition might come as quickly by the individ ual vote of the States and State regulation, but if whis ky is positively defied the privilege of interstate com merce a blow will have been struck the liquor interests from which they will never recover. Too, H is entirely possible that with absolute protec tion for dry territory, the State fights will be won as quickly as could the favorable vote on the proposed con stitutional amendment. The curtailment of the sales and confinement of operations within the State of manufac ture will most assuredly deal a death blow to the busi ness. The continued march of the anti-liquor crusaders, taking State by State, will eliminate the "States' Rights" objection to National prohibition, which is held by many, and will relieve the campaign of much of its bitterness and greatly reduce the number of opponents, who In principle want liquor banishment, but contend for State action instead of National. 1 THE PLUMBING AND SANITARY INSPECTOR. The Free Press is very glad that Council has seen fit to appoint a plumbing inspector, and that bis duties will also involve the inspection of premises in the capacity of a sanitary inspector. It is to be hoped that the man chosen for the dual service is well qualified, and it le claimed that he has had successful experience elsewhere, and further, that he will be vested with proper authority to make his work effective and conducive to the benefit of the city. Unquestionably, Kinston has been in sore need of a sanitary inspector. Even its main thoroughfare, one of the prettiest sbreets in the State, is kept in a State of unsightliness because of the careless and unrestricted throwing of paper and other refuse where it may be blown all over the street. The Free Press hopes that the Council will turn Its attention to the employment of a mat and milk inspector next, and that the man chosen will be an expert capable of directing the work. WHAT OTHERS SAY It-it a little unfair for the Volunteer (State to carry off all of the honors for beauty at tha Southern charity ball staged annually in tha National Capital. The young ' ladies selected as the two most beautiful were Miss Sims. daughter of Representative Sims and Miss Cowan, step- daughter of Senator Shields of Tennessee. But then per haps thete were no Tar Heel girls entered. The Attorney General of the State of -Ohio in oppos lng tha presentation of the dramatisation of Thomas Dixon's Leopard Spots, known 16 movie patrons as "The Birth of a Nation," ia quoted as saying that it was an insult to the North-and a distortion of history. While tr aee no particular need for stirring up sectional feel mg by presenting the film where it Is objectionable, the Attorney General might be informed that there is a goes! deal mors truth in the story depicted by it than any Northern historian has yet reflected. . t i "i .i i. Raleigh News and Observer: "W call upon Editor Braxton to be careful. , Our Saturday copy of the Kinston Free Press had a couple of blank pages in it, and we are afraid we missed something!" No, sir, you didnt miss a thing, for those pages were Intended to be blank. It was on this wise: The paper mills having run short of the medium length rolls, we found it necessary to complete our Saturday "run" with either a shorter or wkler. length than required for the makeup. Wo chose the latter. Liberal! Don't you think so, BrittonT YES. GET A MOVE ON YE! Washington Daily News: "Now that the eclipse and the ground hog have both passed, we suppose well have to scout around for new sensations." , THE TARIFF NOT TO BLAME. Charlotte Observer: "The American Cotton Industry as seen by the Industrial Chemist." a contribution to The Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, by Dr. Frederick Dannerth, has been sent out In pamphlet form by the Textile Trade Laboratory of Newark. It deals rather clearly with the tariff and the cotton industries. Admitting that our American Interests have been hit hard by the war, Doctor Dannerth says it has not been not so much because of low tariff and the much discussed 'dumping' practice, but rather because we have been cut off from the conservative, painstaking, endowed, In vestigations of European chemists in the fields of or ganic chemistry. A protective tariff frequently makes industrial development work unnecessary, because it eliminates the competition caused by foreign inventive skill. It places an Import .tax on goods skillfully pro duced by foreign experts. The Payne tariff bill at the earnest solicitation of American dyestuff manufacturers provided for a duty of 30 per cent, on dyes and 'inter mediates" were admitted free. Dr. Dannerth says it might be well for us to adopt the European idea of mak ing our products as good as any and better than most, Instead of incessantly figuring out the possible monetary profits to be made. His sensible conclusion is that today opportunity 'is again rapping at our door, and our cot ton manufacturers will soon have to decide whether it is better to plan organized development work now or to let our competitors abroad keep their strangle-hold on the industry. The development of the chemical processes in our American cotton industry will yield us greater dividends and more lasting dividends than any ammuni tion factory can hope to earn. The laurels to be gained In the pursuit of peaceful arts would seem to be fax more enduring," ENDORSING OUR Ml'RMURINGS New Bcra Sun-Journal: "Tht, Kin ston Free Presa declares that it is unfortunate that a few incorrigible American soldiers invaded Mexico and came near getting their country In trouble. The Free Press is right. We are indeed sorry to learn that the United States army has in it such men and we believe that a good dose of discipline administered in such cases wfll do a world of jrotxl and will prevent such acts in the future." OUR "PROSPERITY EDITION." Charlotte Observer: "The Kinrton Free Press has issued a prosperity edition in which it gives its readers a pretty full story of the history, re sources and possibilities of Kinston and Lenoir county. The paper is well illustrated and gives the outside pub lic a good appreciation of the busi ness activities of Kinston." FOR RHEUMATISM. As soon as an attack of Rheuma tism begins apply Sloan's Liniment. Don't waste time and suffer unneces sary agony. A few drops of Sloan's Liniment on the affected parts is all you need. The pain goes at once.

Fortunately I heard of Sloan's Liniment, and after using it three or four days, am up and well. I am employed at the biggest depart ment store in S.
