SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1916 President Wilson's appointments continue to strike like lightning that is, where they are not expected. Luck to Captain Koenig when he takes his undersea merchantman back across the ocean and luck to all the istcr ships of the craft contributed by German genius to ocean transportation facilities! The proposed country club for Kinston will be a decided ' asset for those who take membership, and who have auto mobile facilities for reaching the club grounds. It is to be regretted that a suitable site could not have been found more accessible to the fellow without an auto mobile. It was good news which The Free Press was able to give its readers Saturday afternoon to the effect that the . marines and crew believed to have been lost in the wreck of the collier Hector off the South Carolina coast had been saved. The reports of large loss of life at a distance have become so general within the past year or two that the public ceases to be startled and horri fied fcy tho terrible reports, but it is nevertheless tru that there is gratification when such .reports are found to have been In error. - , i A TRIBUTE WORTH WHILE. When William J. Shepherd, ioted war roporter for the United Proas, answered that the abolition of alcohol as a beverage from Russia had been responsible for the re markable development In the. efficiency of the Russian . army now as compared with rits former rocord, in (res ponse to a question from ono of his auditors at the Press Club convention, a few nights ago, he paid splendid trl bute to prohibition, and The Free Press believes .that his newer was correct It means much that the men who are placed in the try ing positions to which soldiers are subject, should be in possession of their highest mental factulties, and that their physical bodies be in the very best condition possi ble. There was, in days gone by, a false idea that alcohol was stumulant. That idea no longer prevails in the best medical circles. Alcohol is classed as a poison in stead of atimulant and Russia, in spite of what other shortcomings it may be criticised for, has given the United States and other nations of the world a most splendid example. Russia declared prohibition in order and by one fell swoop the nation became dry. That, perhaps, could not be done in this country because of the false application of the doctrine of personal liberty, Russia stands out as a forceful contradiction of the theory that great hardships will bo worked upon those who are accustomed to alcohol and who are suddenly deprived of its uso. There hove been no stories of such terrible hardships suffered by the Russians who were perhaps as dissipated a people as is to be found on the top side of the earth. HOW DOCTORS VIEW rTUATIflV The Free Press was very glad to give space Saturday to the various views of the practicing physicians in this community, of the health conditions and particularly with reference to typhoid fever. None of the physicians re port the situation as at all alarming. One of them stated that the num!er of canes was not unusual for this time of the year. Others, that there was no cause for alarm, and that u irood many cases which wore at first thought to lie typhoid had been found, when the blood test wu? applied, to lave boon something else. The Free Pross feels reassured at the statement of the doctors, for it has confidence in their ability and qualifi cations for advice upon such matters. However, The Free Press is inclined to disagree with the doctors in that tho situation la not such as to cause some anxiety. The presence of any typhoid fovcr whatsoever in tnc community should be a cause for concern. The fact that there are no more cases here than usual at this time of the year, if such really is the case, s not at all satisfying. There i no evidence of progress being made by employing modern methods of prevention and elimination, if we are simply going along year j after year making about the oame average. The thing that every community should strive to reach is not sim ply to stand still and continue year after year to suffer from diseases, which are pronounced by physicians to be preventable. We are living in an age when there is no such thinir sis standing still. There must be motion either forward or backward, and even if tho average cases of typhoid fever now in Kincton are no more than suffered heretofore there is certainly r.otliing to brag about. Kinston needs a health officer whole-time health of ficera man who is competent to take charge of sani tary and hygienic conditions, a man who is empowered to enforce the proper, observance of health laws, and Km ston needs an adequate inspection system for the milk, meat and all food supplies offered for sale here. There can be no assurance of safety until these requisites ere provided. If our health conditions are now satisfactory and out people are enjoying average blessings in that regard, it is a matter of shere good luck and is not to be attrib uted to the fact that those precautions, which should be taken in every municipality and community, have been employed. The Free Press has contended before and still con tends that tiicre is no reason to wait until the horse is stolen to lock the stable door in this matter of health conservation.

' Progressive Farmer: "A great English statesman once said: "There is nothing so conservative as progress." In other words, the trea that doesn't grow dies; the stream thait doesn't flow dries up; the man who doesn't go for ward falls behind. 'Let well enough alone, says the moss- back or standpatter, not realizing that 'well enough nev er remains 'well enough' if it is wholly let alone. The individual, the county, or the state that is not progress ing is falling ehind. "President Woodrow Wilson in an address beforo the Washington City Press Club, May 15, expressed this idea in languago that should become proverbial. Citing the expressions of 'Alice in Wonderland,' who with the queen, ran very hard to find themselves where they started, end learned that they had to run twice as fast to get any where else,' he added: "That is also true, gentlemen, of the world and of af fairs. You have got to run fast merely to stay where I you are, and in order to get anywhere you have got to run twice as fast as that. That is what people do not realize. That is the mischief of those hopeless dams against the stream known as reactionaries and standpatters and other words of obloquy. That is what is the matter with them: they are not even staying where they are. They are sinking further and further back, in what will some time comfortably close over their heads as the black waters of oblivion. I sometimes imagine that I see their heads going down, and I am not inclined even to throw them a life-preserver. The sootier they disappear, the better We need their places for people who are awake." Orleans, also stakes (Connection for tsheville,. Chattanooga!
