tween our borders and tha force of General Pershing.
For days the auto-trucks and mule trains have teen over
taxed in their endeavor to keep the American boys In
food and supplies, and the problem has daily grown more
serious and disturbing to the War Department. The use
of the railroad will very naturally greatly expedite the
handling of troops and supplies,' ami should enable the
United States' forces to reach the Villa stamping grounds
in much better physical condition.
Aside from the standpoint of expediency the privilege
accorded the United States by the de facto Govern
ment is indicative of the good faith of the recognized
Mexican authorities to co-operate with the United States
in bringing to justice the outlaws, who have been prey
ing upon the rights and property of both American and
Mexicans. The concession has a two-fold advantage and
is a most encouraging development.
POPULARITY CONTEST.
The Free Press yesterday launched 'the greatest popu
larity contest that has ever been undertaken in this part
of the State. Between fifteen hundred and two thous-
and dollars' worth of useful , prises are to bu
awarded contestants at the end of a great seven weeks'
advertising and subscription-getting campaign in which
young men and young women from all over Eastern Car
olina will participate.
The Free Press believes in "practicing what it
preacher"; it preaches advertising day in and day out
to its 1,-rxxl business friends, and in this campaign it is
demonstrating that it is not afraid of its own medicine.
The full particulars of the contest were published in
Wednesday's issue and are repeated today. Further in
formation and all necessary blanks and supplies can be
had by applying at the "Contest Department," which has
boen established in "the Whi taker Building on North Queen
street; near the new postoffice building. The management
of The Free Press invites all its friends to enter the
contest, ond assures those entering that the contest will
bs cond.wted fairly in every particular, and that no fa
vorites will -be played.
There's no telling by the experts what the American
navy needs to bring it up to the desired efficiency. Every
witness, who has testified before" the congressional com
mittees has had a different idea of the needs.

Greensboro Record: "The old subject of climate is up
again, it now being Kinston that fondly imagines it has
the climate. Those fellows should get out of such a
delusion, and, by the way, the editors' meet in Greensboro
would be a good thing to convince a few climatologists
that thf y really haven't any climate worth speaking of!

important tJ)ftig that confronts the city authorities' of,
the Twin Cily now ii the selection of a competent man
to take charge of the health department. Fortunate to
have a health department The most important thing
that confronts the Kinston authorities is that they may
realise that a health department is needed and that count
less cases of sickness are suffered here because no pre
ventable measures have been adopted. Truly, the whole
question is most important.
The terrible triple wreck on the lines of the New York
Central in Ohio Wednesday, In which a toll of approxi
mately thirty lives was taken, is attributed to the failure
of two employes; one the towerman, who failed to do
his duty, It is claimed, and the other the engineer of one
of the trains, who did not observe the block signal. The
death toll was taken largely, it is reported, m one coach,
which ii alleged to have been of wooden constructions.
If it is proven that the death trap was a wooden coach
sandwiched between ateel cars, the officials of the road
should, he held accountable and not the employes. Rail
road officials have had ample experience in the telescop
ing of wooden shells by heavier equipment, and it h
nothing ehort of criminal for such death traps to be sent
out '

Hickory Daily Record: "The Kinston Free Press, which
acknowledges that it doesn't agree with the Governor in
commuting Mrs. Ida Ball Warren's death sentence, agrees
that the Governor would have erred etill more in letting
her escape death and sending the man to the electric
chair."

Winston-Salem Journal: "The one most important
matter confronting the Board of Aldermen right now is
the selection of tha right man to put in charge of a well-
equippe'l health department, who will devote his whole
time to the work of fighting disease in this city. Of
course, it is going to cost something to establish such a

INTERURBAN JITNEYS TROUBLE RAILROAD.
Greensboro News: "Someone has suggested that the
only way that the Southern will ever be able to eliminate
the motor-car service 'between Winston-Salem and Greens
boro, which seems to be giving it so much concern, is, by
electrifying its own line between the two cities, and insti
tuting an hourly car service.
"It is n interesting idea. A properly constructed elec
tric lina oughtwot to Interfere with the operation of steam
trains, if the continuance of such trains ehould be deemed
advisabler and the power is at hand. Nowhere else along
its line does the Southern tap such a supply of hydro
electric power as it strikes in North Carolina. But what
is more important, the people are here. In the half-
dozen towns within a radius of 30 miles of the Greensboro
courthouse there are 100,000 people; as perfect roads
are extended tho jitney is going to become a more and
more swious competitor of the railroad. The Southern
