Entered at the postofflce at Kinston. North Carolina, a
second-class matter nnder act of Congress, March 8, 1879
The Free Press has before gone to record In counsel
ling those, who have differences, to resort to arbitration,
particularly so with reference to the dispute now existing
between the large railroad systems of the country and
their operating employes. The employes have for some
reason, declined to consider arbitration, and are now
conducting a referendum in their ranks to determine
whether or no a strike, which will tie up every trunk sys
tem in America, shull be called.
The Free Press knows nothing about the contentions.
It does know that the public-at-large will be very mate
rially affected regardless of what may be the outcomt.
There is a waga increase among the issues and if this is
granted, the public, of course, will have to pay the bill.
It may be a just demand, and The Free Press is not ad
vocating that it should not be granted. On the other
hand, if a strike is precipitated and three hundred and
fifty thousand men become Idle and the railroads of this
country are tied up, the public, which they serve, will Buf
fer irreparably.
These differences should be adjusted by arbitration, for
they cannot be satisfactorily settled in any other way.
Subscribers are requested to notify, by Telephone
75, The Free Press of any (rregularity of delivery or
Inattention whauoever on the part of the carriers.
After Six P. M. subscribers are requested to call West
ern Union and report failure to get the paper. A copy
will be sent promptly, if complaint is made before Nine
P. M without cost to subscriber.
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15. 1916
. Indeed, "it is an ill wind that blows nobody good,"1 and
It might be well to remember the truism here expressed,
when inclined to complain about the excessively hot wea
ther, that the growing crops have entered no protest.
Brothers Clark, Shiftman arid Britton had some diffl
culty In preserving their identity, or at least in avoiding
being mistaken for one another. They each and all ftp
peared somewhat "indignant" at the confusion, but there
was no apparent cause, from the viewpoint of the on
looker, for a well-founded grievance.
Not only is the excessive cost of living, now touching
ao intimately the people of every walk in life, attributed
' largely to the war, which has produced a scarcity of ma
terials and an increased demand, but even the man-eating
sharks, which have appeared on the Atlantic coast, are
said to have been forced to prey upon human beings be
cause' of the great decrease in ocean travel due to the
war and the consequent decrease in the waste from kit
chen form the great ocean liners. Surely the war gods
must soma day account for a multitudes of sins.

NIP DEADLY GERMS IN BUD.
Fortunate for the country that the health authorities
of New York Cit and of the United States Public Health
Service irealiijd ao promptly the necessity for strenuous
efforts to allay the spread of infantile paralysis, laying
aiege by the scores to children of the Metropolis. The
reports coming from New York are somewhat more en-
couraging, Indicating that the malady is yielding a little
to the battle of science, but unquestionably had there
teen delay in employing preventive measures, the epi
demlo would have affected a very much larger area than
has been stricken,
The health authorities have set a splendid example in
this case. The time to prevent serious contagion is
when the symptoms of a scourge, which may develop at
any time into an epidemic, first appear, "Nipped in the
bud" deadly germs can be more readily controlled than
when they are given carte blanche until they are fully
developed and have sent out their tentacles of death and
suffering an every direction. "A stitch in time saves
nine." .
INDIFFERENCES SHOULD BE ARBITRATED.
Arbitration is the best solution of differences, which
may arise between labor and capital, between neighbor
and neighbor, or dn whatsoever walk in life and which,
unless adjusted, may cause sharp differences and rup
tures. The side which feels that its contentions are right
has no occasion for fear. Arbitration may sometimes be
faulty in its vordict, but in the vast majority of cases a
court of arbitration can be depended upon to render jus
tice to all parties concerned. The element of right enters
into the arbitration of difficulties and the false basis of
settling disputes by might is eliminated.
DURHAM'S HOSPITALITY.
It makes no difference where the Press Association of
North Carolina elects to hold its annual sessions, there
can never bo more attention given to tho entertainment
and the comfort of those who attend than was the case
at Durham. There was simply one continual round of
pleasure and entertainment sandwiched for every spare
moment from the business program. The visits to the
factories were most instructive and interesting.
The Rotary Club conducted the members of the press
nd other visitors through the Dull Durham and the
Ligpott & Myers factories and the Watts Hospital on
Wednesday, and on Thursday the Golden Belt Manufac
turing Company and the Durable Durham Hosiery Mills
were visited. Tho output of theso factories was simply
amazing to the average member of the press. When
told that tho tobacco factories were capable of producing
hundreds of thousands of their products daily and the
fiolilen Belt Manufacturing Company turned out more
than a million sacks, in which iBull Durham and Duke's
Mixture are put up in, and of the large capacity of the
hosiery mills, they had information which the majority
of them had not possessed before. A noteworthy feature
of the visits was tho splendid class of employes, parti
cularly the young women, who were immaculately attired
in white and who, in the majority of cases, lacked the
sallow, anemic expressions of mill-hands. Souvenirs were
given by the various places visited, and Durham and her
people havo gained favor with the fellows of the press,
and the memories of the cordial hospitality extended
them will linger long in their memories.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
TYPHOID FEVER.
Norfolk Ledger Dispatch: "At this season there
are always many cases of typhoid fever in the country.
This year is no exception to the rule. In some places the
number is above the normal, but there has been no epi
demic. Norfolk is having more cases than usual just
now. A large percentage of them were contracted else.
where and brought to this city.
"According to the health authorities, there ds no ex
cuse for anyone having typhoid fever, since it is a disease
absolutely preventable by proper care. Despite this, the
various communities continue to have it and will keep on
having it until gradual education, through the newspa
pers and otherwise, reaches all the people.
"The vehicle through which typhoid is most often trans
mitted is milk or water. It is the part of wisdom to be
sure that your milk ds pure. It is also well to boil the
drinking water. Some people do this all the year around
just to be on the safe side. It is also imperative to keep
the fties out of the house and to break up their breed.
ing places, as far as possible.
"The people of Norfolk should aid the health authori
ties here in their work. There are more cases of fever
here than we should have. It indicates lack of care some
where. The people of Norfolk should aid the health au
thorities hero in their work. There are more cases of
fever here than we should have. It indicates lack of care
somewhere. Let everybody observe the precautions, iter
ated by Health Commissioner Schenck, and the commun
ity will soon be entirely free of contagion. Of course,
we cannot prevent fever being brought here from else
where. This will continue until educational work is complete."
