MR. G1FFORO PINCHOT VAPORIZES.
Not all the Progressive but most of them will eup
port President Wilson for a second term; that is. If they
are truly progressive, they will. They have no other al
ternative. , , 1 . ; ,
Mr. Clifford Pinchot is a more or ldse prominent exam
pie cf those Who are neither Democrat or Republicans,
who finds in the Administration of President Wilson many
shortcomings to criticize and who seems confident that the
country's continued prosperity and welfare depend upon
the election of Mr. Hughes.' . ' ' ,
Mr. Pinchot has set forth his position in a rather
lengthy circular letter which he is sending to the press
of the country with the privilege of printing.
The Free Press doesn't care to give apace to Mr, Pin
chot's article. His criticisms are not warranted by fact.
Mr. Pinchot avers that being neither a Democrat nor Re.
publican, but a Progressive, he has to either vote for Mr
Wilson or Mr. Hughes. . He professes to have thought
well of President Wilson, in the outset of his adminlstra
tion, but charges that his change of view is because he
has learned that "President Wilson has a greater power
than any other man in public life to say one thing but
to do another, and get away with it."' Mr. Pinchot al
leges that the facts Justifying this charge are common

the Lusitama incident as one of the Instances, but in crit

It 1 to be regretted that Mr. Pinchot. finds that he can
not support Mr. Wilrron. In fact, the loss of one vote
may causa the President some concern, but Mr. Pinchot's
article, patterned, as it seems to be, after the weak and
empty vaporings of his choice for the Presidency, fails
to say anything about the currency bill, the form loan act
and other achievements of the Wilson administration
which are recognized as examples of the most construct
ive legislation of tho past several generations. Mr. Pin
chot undertakes to detract from President Wileon credit
duo him for maintenance of peace and for the country's
prosperity, lie falls to reckon with the righteous fact
that tho public praises the bridge tha carries it over.

WINTER SLEEPING CAR
SERVICE TO WESTERN
CAROLINA IS ASSURED
' According to announcement by the
Southern Railway, ithe Winston-Salem
sleeping car service now in ef
fect will be cut down but not abolish
ed after ' today. ' Ssrvice is to be
maintained between Goldsboro ' and
W'nston-Salem. This is a matter of
considerable interest to the local trav
clling public, since an all-night sleep
er service to points west in North Ca
rolina will be furnished during win
ter as well as summer. Heretofore
the car has been operated only as far
as Raleigh, arriving shortly after
midnight, during the winter, and the
Free Press and various individuals
have requently agitaited the matter of
improved service.
Cars will leave WlnstonnSalem at
3:60 p. jm. and Goldsboro at 10:35 p.
