MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1916 The warning note credited to Msximlllian Harden, the German publicist, in which he "predict" that unlets peace is soon arranged, Germany will perforce disregard all neutral righto, could hardly fce classified with the prophe cies; it more properly belongs to the category of history. Germany has been disregarding the rights of neutrals and all others ever since the outset of the conflict. Our congratulations and best wishes are extended to the esteemed Columbia State on the occasion of the twenty-flfth anniversary of its establishment. The State has grown to be one of the South's most influential and creditable Journals. The contributions of Paragraphei Gonzales and associates, make of the State one of the most welcome exchanges that come to The Free Press. Long may the State live and prosper and serve its cli entele with the high class of service that has character, ized its work in the past. care for (he safety and rights of others. The idea of having the dummy truffle officer carry 'this warning is said to be that of Street Commissioner Webb, and It is a good one. No doubt many accidents will be averted by the more observing and thoughtful who will take time to read the sign; nevertheless there will still be some who will recklessly drive past the corner regardless of the fact that they are endangering the lives and limbs of hundreds of pedestrians, and they may even drive over the sign. It would not be amiss for the officers to keep a lookout for 'those who fail to observe the sign and ad minister as much additional "caution" as may be neces sary to safeguard the corner for those who have occasion to pass that way. It is reported that the Federation of Indiana Club wo men ha sent a long letter of appeal to Governor Craig in behalf of Mrs. Ida Bell Warren. It is reported that no other reason for clemency is cited except that the de fendant is a woman. Of course, Governor Craig cannot, with proper regard for the power of his office, consider any sentiment and interfere in any way with the mandate of the court unless it be shown that there were extenu ating circumstances in the commission of the crime, which have not been brought out. and which the defend ant did not ave the benefit of at her trial. It is indeed a ghastly thinjr to contemplate the execution of a woman in North Carolina, but The Free Press can see no reason for executive clemency simply because the victim is a woman. So long as the barbarous custom of taking life in such fashion is practiced on criminals guilty of mur der, all offenders must pay the same price.

Ferrell. as Stalling & Ferrell, and also as the Grand The atre has this day been by mutual consent dissolved, the suid E. V.

All accounts and obligations due the said business may be paid as heretofore, to the new firm compos ed of H. F. Stallings and Plato Col lins. This 9th day of February, 1916. II. F. STALLINGS I E. V. FERRELL j 2-10 tf ! The program of the Municipal Association of the Caro lines, which is to meet in Kinston in May, as printed in The Free Press Saturday, contains the names of some notable persons; aside from the distinguished municipal 'executives who will be present, Hon. Richard H. Ed monds, editor of the Manufacturers' Record of Balti more, and Hon. Claude Kitchin, Democratic floor leader, art scheduled for addresses. Truly Kinston will be hon ored by the presence of these representative citizens and public officials and everything must be done to show to them that Kinston U really glad they are hore. Although it was to be expected, it is nevertheless gratifying to have assurances from Messrs. Daughtridge and Blckett that their campaign for the office of Gover nor will be conducted on a high phtne, devoid of mud- slinging and personal bitterness. Mr. Daughtridge's campaign manager sounds a splendid note when he pro daima that it is his Intention to conduct a most energetic campaign, but that he regards the welfare and harmony of the party as paramount to the interests of any indi vldual aspirant for political preferment. Unquestion ably the welfare of the whole people is primary to the gratification of any one man or set of men and well it is that those who recognize that fact be elevated and entrusted with the responsibility of leadership. HOW'S THIS, ANYWAY? Colombia State: "Those Progressives are not bull headed. If the G. O. P. refuses to nominate Roosevelt, they are willing to compromise on T. R." A "MURMUR" 4FROM THE DEEP? Ayden Dispatch: "Warbles the esteemed Kinston Free Press: 'It is announced in connection with the suspension of the Ayden Dispatch that Managing Editor Utley is to pursue a course of atudy at a foreign college. It is to ibe hoped the genial young scribe will not risk a trip on an armed merchantman.' No, we do not think of trying the armed merchantman at the present time, but should we, the captain of the crew will be notified of a fellow Braxton in Kinston, who it is said, is fine in warfare on the water, as well as with the pen. It is not at all surprising to learn from the Washing ton dispatches thst Mr. C. C. Daniels of Wilson, a brother of the Soeretary of the Navy and employed by the Gov- ernment as special counsel in the Indian land cases in Minnesota, has declined to "play second fiddle" to another appointee of the Attorney General. Mr. Daniels has pros routed hit work vigorously, and has from all reports "stopped upon a great many toes" and "horned a good many faUings away from the trough" of defrauding the Nation's wards out of their rightful property. Very nat urally he haa encountered much opposition, and there has been much pressure brought o bear on the "powers that be" in Washington to relieve him. Certainly tt was not to be expected that Mr. Daniels would accept any half way removal or compromise. a We are very glad to aee the constant reminder, "Safety First" displayed at the intersection of the busy thor oughfares, Gordon and Queen streets, whore the traffic is directed to keep to the right and remember to have a THE GOVERNOR'S RESPONSIBILITY. Greensboro Daily News: "There are few people on earth in whose ultimate fate the Daily News is less in terested than Ida Bell Warren. As long as she is not set free to use the hellish power she seems to possess for the ruin of other fools, we can imagine nothing of less consequence than what becomes of her. "But we have a very lively interest in Bhe gentleman who occupies the State's residence on Blount street, Ra leigh. By a grim quirk of fate the only man on earth whom Ida Bell Warren has power to harm now is the Governor of North Carolina. She has already kept him in more or less acute misery for some weeks, and appar cntly, the worst is yet to come. We can imagine no more exauisite aeonv than .to have every sentimentalist in these United States loosed upon us; and that is the Gov ernor's doom. Of course, every person who Is for com mutation of tho Warren woman's sentence ia not neces sanily a sentimentalist; but every sentimentalist is for commutation, and will proceed to slop all over the Gov ernor to prove it. "Is it fair, is it right, for the State of North Curolina to allow this to be inflicted on its Chief Executive? He should be relieved of the pardoning power altogether; but we do not believe that even a board of pardons ought to be compelled to undergo such a strain as this. If there had been any attendant circumstances which the court could not take into consideration, but whidi never theless modified the turpitude of the crime, it would be a different matter. But there seems to be no doubt that the Warren woman committed a particularly atrocious murder. The sole basis of the plea for executive clem ency is her sex. If the State of North Carolina believes that it is wrong to execute a woman that belief should bo written into the laws. This is not a case where the written law, by Its universality, works injustice. It is not particularly the Warren woman, it is any woman, whom the advocates of commutation would have spared. The. Governor ought not to be called upon to make good the derelictions of the Legislature." NOTICE OF SALfc.
