XL, witnout cost to subscriber..; FRIDAY EVENING," MAY ?6. 191 We welcome to the exchange list the revised and re juvenated "Ay den Despatch," which we learn from the opening editorial, is now published under tha ownership of Mr. W. E. Hooks and the editorship of Mr. Herbert B. Utley, who has been connected with the paper for acme time. Success to the new, enterprise. Tha Freewill Baptist, published at Ayden, calls upon . She members of its sect to adopt the motto, 'Nil Deperan dum." No doubt, the "s" was omitted by a typographi cal error, and the motto intended was "Nil Desperan ' dum," which being interpreted, means "Despair of Npth- fog," and it is line moltto not only for the good folks of the Freewill Baptist circles, but for others as well, who may be engaged in lofty and commendable pursuits. Until the news came from Roma that the Italian au : thorkties feared it would become necessary for a declara . tion of war to go forth against the Kaiser's government, because of certain affronts anticipated, the fact that the Italians and Germans were not actually fighting against each other, but were wlmply not on speaking terms, had been lost to mind. After ell, it does not appear that the status of the case will be affected one way or the other .by tha declaration. - There is not going to fee a great' deal of regret if Washington. CouHt Von Bernstorff has apparently just missed being given his walking . papers by the merest margin on several occasions, and although he has not ' been implicated in tha conspiracies of his attaches there has been more or less of a feeling abroad that he had some hand in t; the plots. Be that as it may. the with drawal of Mr. Von Bemstorff and the aenfling of Mr. Von Buelow will probably not be a source of regret to tha administration. cordervWooten yesterday that the recorder's court bill was Indefinite, and that -those conducting the court were therefore at a disadvantage. This point has been made in defense repeatedly before. The question naturally arises in the mind of the laity why so much Is read into the bill to make up for the alleged shortcomings which are hot characteristic of other courts. The unusual con struction and procedure of the recorder's court has besn the 'cause for considerable comment and will, no. doubt, be the basis of a fight for its abolishment when the next legislature is in session. NOTHING NEW IN THIS 'DICOVERY." The New York Herald has "discovered" that President Wilson is taking no part in the fight in the Second Congressional District. There Is really nothing new in that discovery for those people, who have kept up with Mr. Wilson's administration and have closely observed his attitude with reference to local fights within the party, have never given credence to the reports emanating from Washington, and thought to have been sent out at direc tion of Mr. Bryan purporting to make it appear that Mr. Wilson had given any interview or made any statement which would indicate his attitude in the KitchiniMitchell fight. ' Very naturally, Mr. Wilson and his close advisers are watching the fifcht in the Second District with more or less interest. There are several good reasons that can be assigned for more than the ordinary interest on the part of the chief executive in this congressional fight. Chief among them perhaps is the issue. Mr. Mitchell's campaign was launched on the ground that the Second District approved the policies of Mr. Wilson and should be represented in Congress by a man who was in sym pathy with those policies and who would give cordial wpport to them, and Mr. Mitchell has charged that Mr. Kitchin was not manifesting the sympathy which, as representative of the Second District, he should. There fore, to a certain degree the policies of the administra tion are on trial in the Second District. It cannot be said hat the results of the primary will Indicate accurately the sentiment of the people for the personality of Mr. Kitchin and the prestige gained by his long tenure of ifflce will undoubtedly cut more or less figure. Then be cause Mr. Kitchin occupies high place in Congress, the administration's interest will naturally be keener in the results of the fight than in the case of the ordinary con- . gressman. The people of the Second District must decide the question of their representation fpr themselves, even if Mr. Wilson should follow the example of some of his pre- lecessors and meddle in local affairs. This he happily has not done, nor is there any liability of his doing so. fhe people of the Second District must determine whether Mr. Wilson's policies are to be upheld, and if the return )f Mr. Kitchin to Congress will insure success to the idministration policies better than the sending of Mr. Mitchell. ,..!! plein democmy.T Fora tiimiitlookyTo the Voters of the Seventh SenaK ed like the special interests, men who torial District: 7;: would make the government the ben-( I announce myself candidate to efactor of a few instead of the er- represent the Seventh Senatorial Dis vant of all, had won a victory, that trict in the next General Assembly hev had succeeded in their efforts of North Carolina, session of 1917. to keep this champjm of the people - Subject to the Democratic primaries. off oi tne supreme iouri. wnerc ins services are most heeded, vorable report of a" the But a fa-committee LEVI J.

The ruling of Judge 'Bond with reference to the with drawals of appeals to the superior court made by de fendant convicted in the recorder's, court upon the re- consideration and modification of penalties by the re corder, although directly involving only nine cases, will Indirectly, perhaps, affect a great number. That cer tainly would have been the case if Judge Bond's ruling covered the operations of the recorder's court since its inception, for there have been many cases where jai sentences were imposed which were changed to fines which the defendants could pay and secure their liberty. The (Free Press would hot criticize the action of Recorder Wooten in showing mercy to any particular defendant. No doubt in the list of cases, in which decisions have been changed, there are a number worthy and the disposition of them was the best for all concerted That may be the 'situation with all of the cases. Whether it is or not we are not now discussing. It has Seen noticeable in the past that the recorder rendered decisions, and upon re flection, modified them, and Judge Bond's ruling yester day Is to the effect that the recorder was not empowered to make any change whatsoever in his own decisions after they had once been made, and entered upon the records. Jn othar words, it means that lihe recorder must either reserve his decisions or that when once given, they shall stand unless altered by a higher court. The point was made by both Solicitor Shaw and Re- WHAT OTHERS SAY CERTAINLY ISNT UP TO HIM. Everything; "Red Buck writes the papers that politi clans in Washington think Hughes should quit the Su preme bench or else make ft statement that he would not accept the nomination. That is queer philosophy. Hughes has never said he was running. He isn't a candidate. He is attending to his own business and the business of the public with neatness and dispatch. "If the Republicans want to nominate him and do so, then, of course, he will either accept or refuse. But until he is nominated there is no reason for him to say he isn't a candidate. He has never said he was and he has never said he wasn't. It would be a pretty how-do-you-do to force a man to throw up a job just because a few admir ers wanted to use his name. Hughes has remained mum. He has been dignified. He isn't using any money; he isn't burning any red fire. He is simply a plain, blunt man holding down the job to which he was appointed. "It will be time enough to refuse to accept an office sfter it is tendered him. And not before." PROGRESS AND JUSTICE WIN.
