MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 24. 1916 If Carranza doesn't get that hump out of hi back he Is apt to 'get .it perforated by some of General Persh ing's marksmen. - , f I If it becomes necessary to apply the treatment of "benevolent assimilation" to the Mexican "greasers." the flavor of garlic would certainly not be very pleasant. It begin to look like 4he Department of Justice made a ten-strike when it captured Von Igel, alleged conspira tor in the neutrality violations against this country. The approval of the attitude of the United States with ', reference to the German submarine policy,, by the South American countries is indeed pleasing. The United States ; t least wants the moral cupport of all the neutral coun- tries for its stand against the piratical policy of the bel- iigerents. The Greenville Reflector tells us in its reflections of twenty years ago of a wedding which had to be post- poned because the bridegroom was serving on a capital : jury which hung up int its deliberation until after the date set for the marriage. W would hate to have our necks "swinging in the balance if the mind of such a juror, ' . The second hearing by, the Solicitor and Recorder into the lynching, of the negrro taken from the Lenoij jail by a Greene county mob th first week in April, unfortun ately developed no information apparently, which will lend to the apprehension of the guilty people. There Is no particular reason to ba discouraged, however, and The Free Press hopes that the authorities will pursue fur ther investigation just as relentlessly as if the two hear ings h4d not already been passed without results. The responsibility should b fixed and the statute of limita tion should not be operative In the case at all. , v "' 1 , W didn't hear any loud applause of the attempt on the part at Medlll McCormick, temporary Chairman of the Illinois State Republican convention, to make fun of Pcesldent Wilson's foreign policy, Mr. McCormick is quoted as telling his hearers' that the Americans could "almost hear a anigger across the Rio Grande when the feeble admonitions of the President were received." Mr, McCormick qualified for a place in the list of petty poli ticians who or grabbing at every braw to keep from sinking. His utterances are un-American and beneath th dignity of any man honored with a temporary or permanent chairmanship or other position of responsibil ity in any grjat party. SOME DAY WE'LL KNOW BETTER. A properly qualified health officer is badly needed in Kinston, and every day that the city authorities let go by without paying some attention to this important mat ter adds to their negative responsibility. The clean-up campaign now going on for the express purpose of get ting the town in suitable shape to entertain the Munici pal Association is merely a step in the right direction. Tt does not .touch the vital question of proper sanitation nnd nothing will accomplish that end except a well quipped health and sanitation department vested with proper authority and free from petty politics. The con servation of health of th(a community and the education of the boys and girls should be divorced from the influ ences of petty politics arid ward heelers. Someday the people of Kinston will realize this fact and use in their majesty and power and take from those who have been given trust, but who have failed to measure up to their responsibilities in these vital matters and provide for them in a way commensurate with their importance. A SUGGESTION WORTH CONSIDERING. The Norfolk & Western Railroad, like other railroads of the South, is lending it efforts in endeavoring to stop the trend of migration from the South and East to the Middle West A recent bulletin sent out, from the In dustrial Department of the Norfolk & Western calls at tention to the fact that fifty thousand of the best type of Southern farmer have, within the past decade, left the South to locate in the newer States of the West and Northwest, with their families, and although this ternd is not so great perhaps now as it was a few years ago, it is still noticeable to a material degree. On suggestion of the N. & W. is that the Southern people, practically all of whom have one or more rela tives cr acquaintances who have migrated into other States, furnhh the names, of such relatives or acquaint ances to the Commissioner of Agriculture of their res pective States and. the, agricultural and industrial agents of the railways in their particular sections, as well as the. Boards of Trade of nearby town and cities. This list is to be used in distributing attractive literature by these various agencies calling attention to the opportunities of the old home land and if carried out very generally would result in a great homecoming. The suggestion is well worth considering. " ) . t The News, and Observer calls attention to the platform of the Colonel, which it states to be in brief, "Anything to beat Wilson." The Colonel doesn't seem to be the only fellow standing on such a platform either. Others of the old-time pie-eaters are manifesting anxiety at the possibility of being, "stood off" while Mr. Wilson serves the American people for another four year. WHAT OTHERS SAY UMPHI GETTING CHESTY, , Nw-Bern Journal: "Kinston is planning to sell $325, 000 worth of bonds, the money from the sale of which will be used in improving the. streets there. Kinston getting jn a class with New Bern when it comes down to a question of paved streets, and if we can indue the citi zens of Lenoir county to fix up th section of the Central Highway between the Craven county line and their coun ty seat, w will hand them few more bouquets." SHOULD MAKE THEM STATES OF THE WORLD. Birmingham Ledger: "Several times since Diaz : the strong left Mexico The Ledger has advised that the most reasonable thing for th United State to do, if it does anything in Mexico, is to enforce peace in the States that border us and recognize them as independent The land should be sold to real settlers and Mexicans and Ameri cans be invited on those terms. . , "In Chihuahua and Sonora there would soon be a rush of men who could take care' of themselves. Our' army lould prevent any guerilla raids and shoot the robbers, leaving the settlers to deal with the thieves, and murder ors as they appear. Those two States are1 rich of soil and with sufficient water. They have a decent climate end have mountains and forests. They are thinly settled and there would be no great conflict between the natives and the settlers.- ." Vv "Compulsory peace would be the greatest hardship on the Mexicans, and they wouldets used to that. Industry need not b enforced, as it would not be right to compel a thing so repulsive to the men. , "With even two States filled with decent people there would be a moral effect on the other border States. They would behav and stay in their own borders rather than be reorganised by Americans. ' "The ether Mexican States can either form a republic or become independent Yucatan could easily be a self- supporting industrial State if permitted. ,. One by one, with peac enforced, tha States could suppress the mill tary satraps and upstarts and the people be allowed an opportunity to become civilized and contented. Industry Is not possible to the people now inhabiting the coun try, but they can live as theypleas so long as they do not rob or kill their neighbors. The advice is still good." A. C L.
