MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 191ft "
A head line reads: "How a German" boy is reared."
Well, judging from the events of the past two years, we
would say that he is reared to fight.
Two days and the boys of the quill of Tarhelta will
aee for themselves the place made famous by "Bull Dur
ham" and whose praises have been sung from ocean to
ocean because of its "Duke's Mixture."
A contemporary in criticising a public lecture says
that. the speech was a wonderful effort, but that it was
"deficient In logic, forgetful of history and rather care
less of fact" Evidently just an average sort of speech.
.
Have the city authorities taken the trouble to ascer
, tain how many caaes of typhoid fever there are in Kin
gton t the present time? If the truth were known there
is a sufficient number to at least cause some steps to be
taken to ascortain the source and remove the danger of
contamination. f
GERMANY'S PROWESS.
There is no need to discount the ability of the German
to put over the unexpected. That "necessity is the mother
of Invention" has been to strikingly and numerously ex
emplified by the resourcefulness of these people that the
world ceases to marvel when their ingenuity conquers the
seemingly impossible.
' A few months ago handful of 'lenUtfought into one
of the Virginia ports a valuable, ocean liner laden with
. a rich cargo, which had been apprehended on the high
seas by a commerce raider, its crew spTpassengers made
prisoners and detoured several thousand miles to be in
temed on this side of the ocean. Tat accomplishment
electrified the world, and even the enemies of Germany
had to applaud. ,, '.. iS W ri
Now, when they are hemmed in on all sides because of
the effectual blockade the superior fleets, of their enemies
have been able to make, and their food supply Is endang
ered, wo find them tunnelling under the sea with a mer
chant submersible and successfully making the transit
from a home port to our shores with a valuable and much
desired cargo of dyestuffs. Today the "Deutschland," the
first merchant submarine, will be appropriately welcomed
at the port of Baltimore, and once more the German col
ors will mount to the topmost rung of achievement. The
world has always loved the fellow who wouldn't give up,
and hats must be taken off to German prowess and forti
tude. ? '
NEED FOR A LITTLE CAUTION.
Sympathy is a good thing when rightly bestowed. The
man who is down needs It, and it is well that there are
people whose hearts are touched and who respond in the
time of such need. There must be a care, however, lest
expression of our sympathy lead us to do things that
are not wisest and best.
There is need for some caution along this line in our
community at present. The Free Press would be false
to its obligations as a moulder of public sentiment and
as a beacon to warn against the unseen rocks', which pro
ject invisible to the average eye, if it did not utter a
word of caution to the good people of this community,
who have interested themselves in the investigation into
an unlawful act committed in our m'dst.
The Free Press believes that because of his lack of
knowledge of local conditions and being unfamiliar with
the sentiment and temperament of the people of this
community, Judge Bond gave utterance to expressions,
which had boat been unsaid, and which perhaps defeated
rather than promoted his objects? but we give him credit
for a pure purpose and a desire to do only his duty in
upholding the.; law. The ball, exfeted from the defend
ant Stocks, was considered excessive, but Judge Bond,
we believe, was actuated solely by a desire to do what
he considered to be his duty dn the matter.
The Free Press would urge upon the people of this
community the good people of Lenoir and Greene coun
ties, which happily, we believe to be largely in the ma
jority to be careful lest the taking of sides sharply in
this important matter cause them to overlook the vital
point, a proper respect for law and order, and thereby
lend encouragement to those, few though they may be,
who are easily inflamed and who would do violence with
out proper regard for its far-reaching effects and con
sequences.
The Free Press does not want to be construed as criti
cising either the Court or those, who have seen fit to take
issue and manifest their displeasure at the conduct of the
investigation. It does want to sound a note of caution
that people weigh carefully their speech as well as their
action, lest they unthoughtedly give occasion for other
outbursts of violence which will dishonor and debase a
people and community, whose. Ideals and standards are
high and ennobling, and place them in a false light be
fore the world. Let us "avoid the very appearance of
evil."
WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE LATCHSTRING.
Durham Sun: "It is the people of Durham who will be
hosts to the North Carolina Press Association, which
meets here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next
week and it is through the people of Durham that the
newspaper publishers will reach their final estimate of
our growing city.
"Think with what different eyes Some of the editors,
who were among the delegates who attended a similar
convention here twenty-six years ago, will view the Dur
ham of todayl
"Think of the changes, the tremendous development,
the marvelous improvement that have taken place since
that time!
The Durham the editors will visit during the week is a
city on the make, but it is a city alive, prosperous, and
throbbing with the power and ability to do.
"The factories, and mills and all the other evidences of
our industrial greatness will prove splendid spectacles
to the men from all parts of the State, but only because
they typify Durham's spirit of enterprise and bustle.
"This is an occasion when every part of the city should
put on its best bib and tucker and incidentally keep it on
after the editors have come and gone.
"It should be-borne in mind that practically all of the
sessions of the convention are open to the public and
especially the two big addresses by leading newspaper
men of the world, War Correspondent William G. Shep
herd, and General Manager Melville E. Stone, of the As
sociated Press.
There will be reception committees and entertainment
committees and committees on this and that, but we all
will appoint ourselves the people of the community a
committee of the whola to show the Tarheel journalists a
bully good time and make them glad they deserted the
cool breezes by the sea to spend a few days in the City
of Progress."

NEVER TAXED
This vast reserve power
6hows in marvelous per
formance. It shows in
hill climbing shows on
hard roads shows in
quick acceleration.
Think of adding 80 per
cent to a motor's effi
ciency. Can you realize
how much that means?
It means a motor which is
never taxed At half loag it
does what full load did in
former like-size motors
This is all due to ending'
motor vibration Wo save
the power which was lost in
friction.
