We still hold to the opinion that the Colonel spells
harmony after this fashion: "apreewithme" (or there'll
be war).
Mr. Mitchell thinks he won his point even if he did
not get many votes. And there are others who agree
with him.
News item: Senator Borah calls emphatic attention to
hi candidacy for the presidential nomination by with
drawing from the race.
The feelings of the fellow, who uttered the sentiment,
"Never mind the weather so the wind don't blow," were
appreciated by some Kinstonians Tuesday niht when
their domiciles were rocked by a near-gale.
That dapper youth who insisted upon being given the
privilege of introducing his own resolution in Congress,
when he failed to find the congressman from his district,
is evidently a firm believer in the "rights of the people."
Richmond is now threatening to unearth a new can-
daJ in its official life. This time the "incentive" far let
ting certain paving contracts in the past is to be investi
gated. Why not make the investigation comprehensive
enough to include 11 the officials and their work, which
have not already come under the searchlight?
Funny how sometimes a fellow thinks when he can
not make the points in favor of his side of the question
ntk-k in the cranium of his opposing disputant that he
can carve them into his person. We learn from the .es
teemed Greenville Reflector that polities became so warm
in a certain quarter last Saturday afternoon that one of
the arguers called on his knife for assistance.
'Congratulations to our esteemed contemporary, the
Winston-Salem Journal and iU able editor. Santford
Martin, on the installation of a full leased wire tele
graphic service. The Journal is one of the best edited
papers in the State; is clean and courageous, and with
the enlarged news service its patrons will not luck any
of the requisites which go to the making of a creditable
and valuable newspaper.
"The Morning New Herman" is the latest addition to
the "Fourth Estate" in these parts. New Bern's new
morning daily made its initial appearance Sunday morn
ing. It is published by the Hill Printing Company and
James B. Dawson is the managing editor. The introduc
tory statement of the publishers reads in pnrt as fol
lows: "We felt that a city the siise of Now Hern and
the territory adjacent needed a morning paper. Not an
absolute necessity, mind you, but the people having beon
accustomed to one for a long period of years, naturally
missed it. and today we present to you The Morning New
Bernian." Success to the venture is our best wish.
KINSTON'S RESPONSIBILITY.
The good people of Kinston are eminently right in ask
ing their city authorities to close the public pool rooms,
which at best, contribute nothing to the uplift of society.
And we believe the council was likewise correct in yield-
ing to the petitions of the citizens. Kinston will be beU
' ter when these gathering and loitering places are closed
! and no longer operated to menace the morals of the young
men of the community.
But Kinston has a responsibility which must not be
! overlooked in this connection. When the pool rooms are
closed, those who have found refuge in them, will seek
i ohcr places to congregate, and they will find places
where the influences arc even more detrimental, unless
the good people of Kinston provide wholesome gatherin
places to take the place of the questionable ones which
they must insist upon being closed up.
Among the things that have been enumerated in the
past as essential to Kinston by The Free Press has been
a Y. M. C. A. and also a Y. W. C. A. The need for the
latter may not be so real now because the large majority
uf the young women here are at home. As Kinston
grows and more young women come here to engage in
the various pursuits for a livelihood, which may be of
fered, the responsibility for providing for their recrea
tion amid pleasant and wholesome environment will in
crease. As the boarding house colony grows the obliga
tion of the community will be enlarged.
The responsibility for caring for the young men is
already weighing heavily. Tho, good people of Kinston
should be giving thought to this matter and laying plans
to provide an atmosphere where the influences will be
ennobling and uplifting, and at the same time the requi
site social environs afforded.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
SIX OR HALF-DOZEN WHICH?
Durham Herald: "If the Republicans have to nomin
ate a man acceptable to the Colonel they might as well
give it to him and be done with it."
CONSISTENCY OF HARTNESS.
Winston-Salem Journal: "Mr. J. A. Hartness, candi
date for the Democratic nomination for Secretary
of State, was both consistent and wise when he declined
to enter a second primary as soon as enough returns were
in to show ithat his opponent, Mr. Grim'es, had a plurality
of the votes cast in the first primary. It will be remem
bered that it was Mr. Hartness who first suggested that
the candidate polling the largest number of votes be de
clared the party nominee. There is not enough at stake
in the selection of a candidate for Secretary of State to
justify the expense of a second primary."

LET INVESTIGATION BE REAL.
Raleigh Times: "The Times prints today a communi
cation from J. C. Hubbard of Clinton, which apart from
the self-evident feeling that runs through it, makes what
we consider a good point concerning the investigation into
the management of the Central Hospital for the Insane.
"Mr. Hubbard's complaint is that he has been asked to
testify in an investigation which he did not instigate and
in which the State is the party chiefly concerned, with
out effort to indicate authority to compel his attendance
or offer to pay his expenses. The logic of his position
is, that if the State really wishes to ascertain the truth
concerning charges which have been laid against the
institution, it goes about it in a poor way when it takes
no better method than this to secure evidence. It will
be easily understood that wtinesses in such an investiga
tion are not likely to be what are called 'willing'; and
that the truth as to the charges is more apt to be dis
covered from testimony that is the reverse of eager.
"The institution having been attacked, it is the right
of the people of the State to have every possible bit of
light thrown upon its conduct and methods. Presumably
the State has means by which it can enforce attendance
of witnesses, and if it has no such power, it is well that
the Legislature be now put on notice as to the statutory
oversight. It will not do in such an inquiry to have
the institution assume the character of defendant or the
State that of counsel or prosecutor concerning it. What
is needed is information from every available source.
Whatever decision arrived at will necessarily be worth
less if founded on evidence open to objection of ex-parte
character.
