by affording carts for hauling off the garbage and re
fuse. The tax of twenty-five to fifty cents a loaj novr
paid, is not an incentive to clean premises, and, In fast,
it very naturally encouraire the use of the back lots for
the storage of tin cans, which afford breeding places for
mosquitoes through which malaria is conveyed.
The Free Preas is glad that Kinston is to enjoy even
this "half loaf .towards a clean-up, and it is still hope
ful that the city authorities will conclude that the res
ponsibility is upon Xhem and that a regular systematic
cleaning and a "weekly hauling-off of garbage from the
various sections of town is essential to the better health
of the community.
THURSDAY' EVENING, APRIL 13. 1916
We are impressed with the number of Kinston boys and
girls whose names appear upon the honor roll published
- elsewhere in today's paper. , Unquestionably this is a
most healthy indication of splendid work being done by
our Kinston schools.: ; -

The Free Press is glad that Lenoir county has put for
wttid a candidate ior Stat Senator in the person of Col.
W. D. Pollock, whos candidacy was launched by the
Lenoir Bar Association Tuesday night. Lenoir did not
furnish a representative In tf upper branch of the State
Assembly last Hertn. - I'a interests were well "taken care
'of by Senators Ward and Thompson. We should be very
jrla:l to entrust out interests to them again if it were not
jiowihle for us to send one of our own fellow citizens. Col.
Pollock has rondered faithful service to the party. lie is
an able speaker and will represent this district with
. m-ilit. We bespeak for him the support of the peo
ple of Greene, Cravtn, Carteret. Jones and Onslow, as

MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION PROGRAM.
The program for the Municipal Association's annual
convention which will be held in Kinaton May 4th and
5th, as published in Wednesday's Free Press, provides for
the discussion of some very interesting and essential mat
ters relating: to municipal government not only so to the
members of the association, but to the citizens of Kin
ston as well.
Commission government will be discussed by Hon. John
R. Hornady, one of the Commissioners of Birmingham.
There has been some agitation in Kinston for a change of
the method of city government It is realized by many
that the old aldermanic system is obsolete end incapable
of producing the best results. Mr. Hornady has given a
great deal of study to commission form of government
A few years ago, when there was agitation for doing
away with the aldermanic system in Birmingham, Mr.
Hornady, who was then managing editor of one of the
leading papers, The Birmingham News, waa sent to Dal
las, Dee Moines and a number of other places where com
mission government, city manager and other plans were
being successfully tried. With the impressions thus gath
ered at first-hand, Mr. Hornady wrote some very inter
esting articles espousing the cause of commislson govern
ment, and the change to that-form for the City of Bir
mingham was probably due more largely to" the educa
tional campaign thus conducted than to any other one
factor. Mr. Homady's address here will bo illuminat
ing and interesting, because he not only knows the theory
but has had pant in the practical operation of this mod
em method of handling municipal business.
Other matters of importance will be discussed. Health,
BIG EXTRA VOTES BACKED
BY THE HONOR ROLL
(Continued from Pag One)
coupon of 15,000 votes will 1 given.
This vote offer, together with the
Honor Roll, make this week one of
the important weeks of the whole
contest. This is a sort of pivotal
week when the friends of ell the can
didates will be watching .them in or
der to judge whom to support during
the last weeks of the struggle. By
your effort this week make them
hrow their support your way. You
must do your part this week to make
it the biggest week of all. This week
will hear rumors and then some more
rumors. The wiae ones will attempt
to give you advice which, if you heed,
will be sure to have a bearing on your
campaign that will not be to your
credit when the winners are announc
ed. Many are trying to compare this
jampaigfj with others that have Kone
before. To such advice there is a
very few words to say don't do it.
There is just one way to win in the
Great Golden Festival, and that is to
do your best each day as the days go
by. Do hot put off your hardest wdrk
until the last few weeks, or the last
few days, for if you do, you are
bound to lose more than you will
gain. The people who really want to
win are working every doy. and
when you make up your mind to go to
work the last few days you will find
that the territory has been covered,
and that the subscriptions that you
were depending upon have been giv
en to someone else.
Plan to make each day day of
accomplishment. Get some votes and
subscriptions from somewhere, some
how, each day.
Not Too Late to Enter.
It is not by any means too late to
enter the contest.. In fact, it is just
starting. The Honor Roll gives you
an opportunity to place your name at
the front of the list at once, and the

, The Free Press is glad to encourage the response of
: every citisen of Kinston to Mayor Sutton's proclar.iation
to obaei-ve the two weeks, beginning April 17 and ending
the 29th as "clean-up" weeks, We ro always glad to
- endorse every effort to produce bettor sanitary condU
- tion in Kinston and consequently more healthful place
4o live in.
v Although we are in entire sympathy wlththe city offi
cials in their endeavor to have everything spick and span
for the members of the Municipal Association who come
here for tho annual meeting the first week in May. and
we are going to lend every effort possible to the entertain
ment of the visiting, gentlemen, we do not base the ne
cessity for the clean-up campaign primarily on the pros
pect of entertaining visitors. We are interested first in
having Kinston cleaned vp for the benefit of those who
live here, many of whom have suffered from preventable
diseases In the past because adequate sanitary measures
were not taken, and The Free Press believes, as it has
often proclaimed, that the responsibility for cleaning up
the town and keeping it clean rests upon the city authori
ties. It is our opinion, too, before expressed, that an an
nual or semi-annual clean-up campaign is not sufficient,
These special spasmodic efforts are all right as auxiliary
to regulr systematic daily and weekly cleaning through
out out the year, and we believe the city authorities ought
to encourage the cltiaens to keep their premises clean

MILK AND TYPHOID. i:
.Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch: "The Health Department of
the United States Government has sent to the papers a
public warning that should be heeded in every commun
ity. It says: "-; "-VvV"
"Seventy-six out of tho eighty-seven cases of typhoid
fever occurring in a recent outbreak have been traced by
the United States Public Health Service (to infected milk.
Had the first cases been reported to a trained health offi
cer, the outbreak could have been stamped out promptly.
When will we learn that disease- prevention is sure and
cheap."
Norfolk is to be congratulated on having a Health De
partment whose attention Is directed toward the ques
tion of pure milk and pure foods, and it should have
