A TYPE OF THE OLD SCHOOL.
The death of Judge R. B. Peebles of the Superior
Court, which occurred this week in a Norfolk hospital,
removes one of the oldest, if not the oldest, jurist in act
ive service on the bench in the State. Judge Peebles
had passed his three score and ten, and was approaching
the four score mark, when death came. He was typically
of the old school, absolutely unreconstructed, and came
in for more or less criticism on that account.
He was a Confederate veteran, attaining the rank of
captain. Judge Peebles was well known here and highly
regarded. He conducted the spring terms of Superior
Court here in 1915.
The ranks of the school to which -the aged jurist be
longed are rapidly growing thinner.
Says Britton in the Raleigh Netfs and Observer1:
"The other towns will hav to look out or Kin
ston will swipe all the limelight, for the Kinston
Free Press is to the' front"w!tli the declaration
that a citizen of its town 'knows the noted Persh
ing well.' Ship ahoy!"

Yes, friend, and there are other reasons for such care
on the part of our neighbors.
A stop should be put to the blowing of locomotive
whistles in the city limits to the annoyance of residents
of the vicinity of the jracks. Recently there has devel
oped a habit among some of the shifters to f blow road
crossing signals at the street intersections along West
Peyton and Atlantic avenues. This may ibe due to
thoughtlessness of the enginemen, and perhaps a friend
ly suggestion will suffice. The law should be invoked if
the friendly auggestion fails, however.
ONE FAVORABLE ASPECT.
The prompt release of United States' soldiers taken
prisoners at Carrizal in response o the peremptory de
mand of President Wilson has one favorable aspect. It
shows that General Carranza is not as belligerently in
clined as his attitude recently had given the impression,
While the return of the prisoners and the property taken
from U. S. troop does not settle the Mexican tangle, as
was said in this column Thursday, the tension has been
greatly lessened and the occasion for sending a Telief ex
pedition has been removed.
Carranza's proposal to arbitrate, when considered along
with his order for the release of the soldiers, gives evi
dence that ho is not going to precipitate war without re
gard for the consequences. It is true1 that his attitude
even now, is far from satisfying, and the danger of a
conflict is .by no means removed until his position is clear
ly defined. At the same time the situation is more hope
ful by virtue of the developments in the Carrizal case
than has it been complicated thereby.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
President Wilson's definition of democracy, as given
In his speech 'before the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World in Philadelphia Thursday, "Can you imagine,
my fellow countrymen, a more inspiring thing than to
belong to a free nation and make your way among men,
every one of whom has the right and the opportunity to
aay whsjt he thinks, struck and hit hard that coterie,
wham h described """as those who have the opinion that
it is not afe for the United States to escape from their
control." ..' Incidentally, there is food for thought for the
people of this nation, who exercise those splendid oppor
tunities. ' There is a responsibility carried by the oppor
tunity of freedom of speech and action, which must not
bo overlooked or underestimated. It behooves every man
to so employ those God-given opportunities as to bring
right and justice to their fellow men and nations.
CONGRATULATING GOVERNOR CRAIG.
Wilmington Dispatch) "Even though Governor Craig
may not believe in women suffrage he got nearer the
principle and provided some evidence of its capability
when he named Miss Mary F. Jone as his private sflecre
tary, to fill a position that only man had held for many
years. We congratulate the Governor."
SIR ROGER CASEMENT.
England may put Sir Roger Casement to death on the
charge of high treason, but never -will she be able to
obliterate the sentiment expressed in his statement utter
ed just fcefore sentence of death jwas. pronounced upon
him. Ills appeal for the freedom of his country, for its
independence and his emphasis of the fact that he had
not landed upon English, but Irish soil, that he had not
incited Englishmen to turn traitors to their country, but
Irishmen; to fight for theirs, will ring in the hearts of
his fellow countrymen for generations and will inspire
them to continue their fight for freedom. Sir Roger com
plained that he had not been tried by a jury of his peers,
for the jury was composed of Englishmen, he explained
to the jury that he meant no criticism of it, and his ex
pression of thanks for $,he verdictwaa, almost gruesome.
Not one note of re-gret .was sounded in) this closing state
ment; every word breathed the sentiment of a martyr to
a cause, and England may as well expect to combat that
sentiment as it well in the hearts of the Irish or yield
to their desire for independence.
FOR LAW AND ORDER.
Raleigh News and Observer: "The action of the State
of North Carolina, the expedition with which the case
was heard by the court and the verdict rendered by the
jury in the case of Will Black, the negro rapist who on
Tuesday at Snow Hill was sentenced to death in the elec
tric chair, is a notice to all who would take part in or
condone a lynching that there is no need for this in North
Carolina. The action of Governor Craig in sending an
ample military force to Snow Hill to prevent any disor
der was fully justified in view of the reports of threats
of lynching which had reached him. The fact that there
was not the slightest semblance of disorder at Snow Hill
shows that ability to suppress any attempt at riot or
lynching is all that Is needed. And the fact has been
emphasized that the vast part of the people of Greene
county stand for law and order.
"The lynching of the father of Will Black at Kinston
shortly after the infamous crime of the young negro
was a most deplorable circumstance, for every lynching
is a breeder of a contempt for the orderly processes oi
the law. The determined handling of the situation in the
trial of the negro rapist, the fact that within an hour
and forty minutes he had been tried, convicted, and sen
tenced, will add to the respect for the courts, and prove
a matter from which there will come a larger obedience
to the laws of the State.
"The people of North Carolina are law abiding, and
the outbreaks of lynching have been few. The swift ac
tion in the case of Will Edack should result in the recog
nition by all our people that they can in all confidence
await the process of the courts, and not attempt to wreak
private vengeance, for such a course is a challenge to
civilization, a hurt to the State."
State Board of Health to Inspect
Hotels. A
A system of hotel inspection to go
into operation August 1st is now be
ing prepared by the State Board of
Health. The service will be optional
but will be offered1 to all the hotels i
of the State. According to the plan
now being devised by the Board, a
representative of the executive staff
of the State Board of Health will vis
it each hotel and will offer to inspect
and grade the hotel in accordance
with the adopted sanitary rules and
regulations. The results of each of
fer, whether accepted or rejected,
and the grade of each hotel inspect
ed will be published monthly in the
Health Bulletin. Furthermore, the
hotel inspected will be furnished an
official certificate, suitable for fram
ing and posting, giving its, grade as
excellent, good, fair, passable or bad.
The grade of excellent will be given
to all hotels scoring over 00; the
grade of good to all between 85 and
90; the grade of fair to all between
80 and 85; the grade of passable to
all between 75 and 80 and the grade
of bad to all hotels scoring under 75.
Every hotel manager in due time
will receive a pamphlet that is now
being printed giving the sanitary
rules and regulations to be observed,
also a score card showing the scope
of inspection and a certificate of in
spection. According to the score
card the following points will be
scored: Office and lobby, wash room,
dining room, kitchen and pantry,
halls and stairs, bed rooms, fire pro
tection, water supply, sewerage, sur
roundings, milk supply, and servants.
In all these cleanliness, ventilation,
light, screens, flies and vermin will
especially be considered.
