SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE i, 1916 The pioud "Mistress of the Seas" has been licked at , her own game. At least, that is what Berlin says about it. When a fellow gets up at four in the morning in order to vote, those for whom he casts his ballot should most assuredly tie appreciative. Weill Monday will be a great day for explanations. The boys will be 'telling all about how it happened that they were left at the stake. It is to be hoped that the munition factories of this country are not supplying that "co-operative" expedition of -Carranza's with the bullets to shoot our boys with. Mr. Nevvlands says he doesn't rejrard Justice Bran deis of the proper judicial temperament, and for that reason ho was willing to hold a lone hand on the Dem ocratic side of the Senate when the confirmation of the appointee was voted upon. Mr. Willard T. Kyzer. the new chief of the Agricul tural Department of the Norfolk Southern Railroad, gives evidenco of possessing the right qualifications, lie paid his initial visit to this section this week, as chronicled in Friday's Freo. Press, and "discovered" that this is the mostf favored section on earth. 'that the affairs of Kinston, to all appearances, had been satisfactorily looked after during the past year, but that such was so, not because of the system, but be cause Kinston was fortunate in having elected men who could and were willing to give time to intelligently at tend to the affairs coming under their supervision. This foes not, very naturally apply to every member of the board. There are some who have not shown much apti tude as executives. I.'ut that is not 'the point of this article or has it been in the comments that have gone before. The Free Press believes that the theory of the alderiiranic system is in herently wrong. It is an attempt at "getting something for nothing" and usually the results of such attempts are not worth the price. Kinston needs an adequately paid executive not a politician who" -has no hing else to do but give atten tion to the business of the municipality, and who under stands that he holds his position not because of any political prestige, but solely because of his fitness and capability. Us should know that his posntion is not de pendent upon the personal whims of anybody or any wire pulling. The Free Press is "agin" the aldermanic system, and it thinks the citizens of Kinston should bestir themsel ves to see to it that a change is made whereby the city may be assured of proper service for the money that dt pays to executives. That it has not had under the pres- nt system. WHAT OTHERS SAY Urttil llthe reports are in and the truth is known, it will bo hard to tell just which class of equipment prov ed, the most valuable in tho conflict betwocn the British arid German fleets last Wednesday. The first reports in dicate that toll was taken from the dreadnaughts. tho battle cruisers and the smaller craft. Again the real big news from the battlefronts is flash ed to the world first in the afternoon papers. The an nouncement of the first great sea buttle, tho event which has been looked for since the first gun was fired 'way back in the summer of 1914, which took place Wednes day, was given to the public first in these parts in The Free Press. Moral: Get "today's news today" in The Free Press. President Wilson placed the responsibility for service very heavily upon those 178 graduates of the Naval Academy when he told 'them that "the history of tho world might be changed by what they did not do, or did wrongly." And when you come to analyze the situation, tho President, as usual, is right. One act of indiscre tion or bad judgment at a crucial 'time by one of Uncle Sam's naval officers might plunge this country into a war which would niter the geography of the world. SYSTEM AM) NOT INCUMBENTS. One of the good friends of The Free Press among the aldermen interpreted the ndvoeac-y of this paper for a change in tho system of city government ns a re flee- men who are running around talking through their hats CARRANZA JUSTIFIES US. Richmond News Leader: "General Carranza has list ed himself unwittingly as the largest contributor to the Democratic campaign fund. In excusing himself, he jus tifies the United States. In demanding the withdrawal of our 'troope from Mexico he gives excellent reasons why W is demand should not be granted. In attempting to prove his own good faith in the recent border con ferenceo, he demonstrated that of the administration. The disclosures of his latest note will reassure all those Am ericans who have neiievea tnrougnout we negouuuuiis with Mexico that Mr. Wilson was acting with a due re yard for the rights of a sis'ter republic while maintaining the honor of the United States. "Mr. Wilson has not thought it wise to make public he proceedings of the conference between Generals Scott, Funston and Obregon. General Carranza has done so. The result is the interesting revelation that this govern ment summed up its position as follows: The United States troops would be withdrawn from Mexico precisely in proportion as the troops of the Constitutionalist gov ernment 'took their places in pursuit of Villa. The with drawal was to begin at the first signs of activity on the part of Carranza and was to continue steadily, provided, in the meantime, no further raids occurred. "This was a position credi'table to the United States and fair to Mexico. As virtual anarchy prompted the dispatch of troops to Mexico, so the restoration of civil government would dictate their withdrawal. The time was to be fixed, not by the calendar, but by the change from lawlessness to order. None save the jingo could have demanded more; none save the coward would have been satisfied with less. The Boqirillas raid, which caus ed Colonel Langhorne to enter Mexico in a manner that calls forth new protests from Carranza, was itself evi dence that the time had not come for a complete with drawal. "Carranza's note answers itself. When he is able to corral and destroy 'the Villista bandits, United States troops will cross the boundary again, the embargo on arms will be raised and Mexico will be given all aid in economic recovery. Until that time, this government will not expose itself to further insult by leaving the border unprotected. "The best way for Carranza to prevent the invasion of Mexico is for him to prevent the invasion of the United States." wer roum "wmrLB'' today, tomorrow and ovry day, with i WHISTLE " Political Announcements FOR THE SENATE.
