THURSDAY EVENMNG, MAY 11. 1916 Speaking of contortions to which the American lan guage is subjected, a contemporary talks about the "dark horse" in a motor race. The Raleigh News and Observer "gets up" to remark as follows: "Perhaps the need of two police chiefs in Kinston is to keep an eye on the night lynching parties as well as the day visitors to the 'Kum! Kum'! City We await the explanation of that dear Kinston Free Press with the groatest interest." We have already had our say, thank you, but we offer no explanation for the "numerousness' of our chiefs. As a matter of fact, we re considering offering a prize for the best solution of the question. Friend Britton, shall we send you en try blanks? The call for the border state's soldiery to mobilize along the Mexican frontier indicates that the Washing ton authorities are coming to the conclusion that Villa is not the only one of the 'Mexican "would-be" leaders who will have to be pacified before American life and property can have any assurance of safety. This opin ion has been held by the average American all the time although it has bees- hoped that the President and his advisors had some information, which the public did not have, which led them to believe that Oarranza would "tote fair." The liquorites. as is their want, are trying now to fi ml a loophole in the Virginia prohibition laws recently en acted and -becoming effective November 1st., wheraby citizens of ithe Old Dominion can, at will, prior to No vember 1st, stock their cellars with quantities of liquor. We learn from the Richmond papers that the liquoritas have been advised by aome of the ablest attorneys that (here is nothing in the laws to prohibit citizens from thus stocking their cellars provided tby- can show a clean bill of health as to their purpose of selling the stuff. In other wcrds, it must be shown that the liquor is for per sonal use. Dome of the opponents of the law are snick ering up their sleeves over what ifiey term a defeat. Ev try good citizen of Virginia will recognize this Ta.:l th .t the people of the State have gone on record and have outlawed the Iniquitous of liquor traffic and even if there arc technical flaws in the letter of the statute the spirit of the !aw is to prohibit and good cftftfens will be govern ed accordingly. that the railroads, having won their point with refer ence to the site, will enter into' the erection of a struc ture commensurate with-the growing importance of Kin ston more heartily than if they were simply complying with the mandates of the Corporation Commission. Representatives of the railroads, interviewed after the conference, declined to commit themselves but The Free Press bos been informed on good authority that the railroads will not -undertake to put any fur'her obstacles in the way of actually beginning work or play for any more time now that a site has been agreed upon which is considered practicable by the engineering forces of the roads, and this assurance was given the Chamber of Commerce at the conference held Wednesday afternoon. We take it, therefore, that he Chamber of Commrce and railroals will lend every effort to starting work as quick ly as possible. The formal order of the Corporation Commission will probably be forthcoming as soon as that body is apprised of the agreement arrived at Wednesday. The Free Press has never regarded the Gordon Street site as ideal but has deemed it unwise to agitate any re opening of the question unless it could be handled, as it has bean, in conference and we believe after carefully eonsldsring every phase of the matter the people of Kin ston will be pleased and satisfied withthe action that was taken Wednesday. HERE IS A LIST OF THE CONTESTANTS WHAT OTHERS SAY GOOD PROSPECTS NOW FOR DEPOT. It begins now to look as though Kinston will have ale quale depot facilities within a reasonable and satis factory time limit. The conference of railroad officials and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce held here Wednesday seems to have eliminated all objections and obstacles and we are led to conclude from assurances given by the railroad officials before the final conference that the ac tual work of construction only awaits the formal ratifi cation t,t the agreement by the Corporation Commission, the preparation of tho necessary plans for construction And th preparation of the site. The conference idea was a good one. The Free Press has held to the opin ion all the while that much more satisfactory resul's Could be obtained if the representatives of the railroads and the people could get their heads together over the problem confronting the railroads in the erection of the depot. Arbitration is always a more satisfactory mo thod of disposing of controversies than is the use of might or force, which may be vested in one or the other party aUch controversies. It stands to reason now KITCHFN FALLS IN LINE WHY. Winston-Salem Journal: "An interesting develop ment ,'n Washington is the action of Majority Leader Claude Kitchin in falling in line with the Administration in its efforts to put through a shipping bill, by which the commercial interests of this country will be materially strengthened. At the same time Mr. Kitchin denies that he defeated the ship pur- hnse bill which the administration fought so hard t0 put through at the last session of Congress. Mr. Kitchin admits that he was opposed to and voted against the ship purchase bill when it was first presented, but says it was because he was opposed to certain provisions in the bill, and not because he opposed the general principle of rendering government aid to shipping at a time like this. We, aro glad that the bill has been changed so that Mr. Kitchin nnd the o'her Democrats who opposed, it before can vots for it when it comes up this time. Itwill be re- mombared that the first bill set no limit to the govern ment ownership of vessels. The bill as now ready for tho House sets the limit at five years. For this reason Mr. Kitchin says he will vote for the measure. But we urs also perhaps justified in saying that the opposition that has developed recently to Mr. Kitchin's renomina- ion in his own district possibly had something to do with his change of front, by which he abandons the forces that are fighting Wilson and steps into the ranks of the forces hut are upholding Wilson's program. EDITOR OWEN MISREPRESENTED. Wilmington Star: "The Star yesterday commented upon a Raleigh story in the Greensboro News to the ef fect thai. Editor Thos. E. Owen, of the Clinton News Dispatch, had forsaken the Republican faith and would support Woodrow Wilson for President. The Star, con sidering the matter of sufficient importance to warrant the pains of going to Ihe bottom of it, secured a state ment from Mr. Owen Monday night as to the correctness of tha Raleigh story sent to the Greensboro paper by Mr. W. T. Host, its regular correspondent at the capital. The Raleigh report surprised Mr. Owen and he denied that he had either changed his politics or that he would support Wilson or any other Democrat. He declares that ho will continue to vote the Republican ticket, as his faith is grounded upon the principles of protection. When we saw all that report about the Clinton edi tor's change of political heart, we could hardly believe it, In spite of the fact that "while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." Edito- Owen did not deny that he has a grouch against the Butkrs on acounl of his treatment at the Goldsboro district convention, but that is a personal matUr th;it does not affect his party affiliations. Doubtless he thinks more of a protective tariff as a matter of principle than j he docs of his personal disappointment o"er the chance h.1 loft to '.e re Republican nominee for Congress in the riilrd distr.ct. Mr. Owen's fr.ends say that he would have gotten n'.ir.' votes tian M&j. Geo. E.

Work, who was born in Denmark, and who has been in dairy work from hi youth up, expresses his great enthusiasm for working with cows aa follows: "I am ao enthusiastic over dairy ing that I sometimes feel like para phrasing a hymn to read: "I wntf to be a dairyttKAi And with the dairy stand. Straw hat upon my forehead And a milk pail in my hand." "The dairy business is one thing in which I feel that I can advise one' going into unqualifiedly. I wouldn't speak so of any other. Fruit farms and beef cattle are good businesses, but they are al ways subject to fluctuation, to ex cesses and shortnesses,' and ypuoft en see men who have gone broke in these 'great ' occupations.
