Virginia naa- put tne stamp or emciai disapproval . on M public drinking cup. A statute enacted by the last Legislature requiring that all drinking utensils, nsed for the public generally, must either be of the paper "one time usable variety" or when the ordinary rlasses are used, must ba sterilised between each use, has just be come effective. A most righteous act One that should be enforced to the letter. . The "slop tanks," found in the average cold drink emporium into which tha glasses are casually dipped and tha spoons and. other utensils have an occasional bath, should be outlawed In North Carolina, as well as everywhere else. , V ' In commenting on this matter The Greensboro News very pointedly remarks that it la not a question for local or community public aentiment to govern, but one for statewide legislation. Tha machinery for the operation of such legislation la properly entrusted to the State Health Department By so doing the always present dan ger of lack of enforcement because of local favoritism is avoided.'""'.: r ". - , The public drinking cup menace to health is a relic of that aye when medical science had made little progress in the matter of prevention of disease, and when its at tention was riven more largely to curative measures. Its relegation is a matter of Imperative need, that whole, sale communication of disease conveying germs be stop. ped. ; ' ' .Ana men tne uquontea of Missoula, Montana, can't put up that threadbare cry that "public aentiment la for liquor." f ", , If the Bremen doesn't hurry and put In an appearance . Captain Koenig and the Deutcchland may be reported for a return engagement. ; tne "tuiibioodsT at the Chicago dog show fall to make the affair a "howling success, the Introduction of a few cure will insure auch. ' Speaking of high cost of living: Beef Je quoted at $4.00 a pound in Vienna, 'and the great staple diet, rice, is go ing at 2. Very glad we are not Viennesse. .Berlin is now preparing the German public for the first "strategic retreat" that the Teutona have been forced to make, we believe, since the outset of hostilities. . .. AH bugs, Insects, etc., held under suspicion by scien tists aa possiblo carriers of the dreaded infantile paraly sis have been exonerated, aay reports, from New York, except the Tat flea. Although the medical men have not succeeded in making out a case against the little pest, it i said .that pretty 'good ground for" his detention on the charge is had. His conviction wilf mean a nation-wide crusade for his extermination, Ind whether or n his guilt Is established his riddance will not be objectionable. To aome inquirer, who asked Judge Bond if he did not think the man in the Pullman! car case "had gotton off light," the Judge replied. "Sir, have you ever served a year oii he roads?" To be aure, v road sentence of any longth is not to be considered lightly, but when weighed in the balance with the crime, a year for a dastardly of fense, such as this fellow was charged with, and five years for a highwayman, who threatens to .take human life un less his demand for money is complied with, ia certainly not to be considered as severe punishment LENOIR MUST DO ITS PART. . ' , v The call goes forth again to Y Hosts of Democracy to the .Old NortK State for funds wherewith ;to defray tha expenses incident to the re-election of Messrs. Wilson and Marshall As we have before exclaimed, the Demo cratic National Committee has no Perkins nor Wall Street attachment caring for its psy roll 'The fnecess.ary" must be forthcoming in email amounts from the great rank and file of the party. That very fact more than any oth er aingle one, insures campaign of honesty, unfettered by "obligations", to the money powers that be. The Free 'Prees ; will be glad to receive contributions from loyal Democrats of this section and transmit them to the pro per headquarters to go bio the fund. Lenoir must do its part In insuring four years more of wise, intelligent able leadership. ... . . . :-V-V BREAKING VP BLACKMAILERS. j The crusade of the U. S. Department of Justice against an alleged gang of blackmailers, who are said to harv operated in all the large cities, and fleeced men of means, through attractive women accomplices, out of large sums of money, is but another evidence that the Government igents are alert and "on the job" to all sorts of trickery ind rascality by which smooth scoundrel dupe the public. Hinton G. Clabaugh, agent of the Department of Jus tice, who is working on the cases against the gang, has been instrumental in bringing more than one set of out laws to justice. Clahaugh first came into prominence several years ago when in the wholesale grocery busi ness he "went up against" the alleged trust, the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association. His activities in light ing that combine brought him to the attention of the Government and he was employed. : t' ',. It is reported that the names of tha wealthy victims of 'he blackmailing schemes will be made public only as a last resort. 'That may be best. These fellows were "but human and yielded to temptation, which few can' with stand. 'But nevertheless they are not entirely blameless, nd if they escape .without 'being exposed, they should consider theiriselves most fortunate. The time for new resolutions to be rocde and kept by the "innocent" vie ims of the "frames" is at hand.'. At least those, who are wise among them, will so conclude. whAt others say AS SOME VIEW THE MATTER. V New Bern Sun-Journal: '"Not a day goes by but one! hears something in regard to the high cost of living. Sel dom does one read of the cost of high living, yet that is the problem which is confronting us today and the man who really wants to cut down the cost of living can do so. "A writer In the Saturday Evening Post tells of a cer tain ahop in New York where the prices are thirty per cent higher than at the other places and, regardless of the fact that only two doors away the same article can be secured at a much lower cost the shop with the high price gets the majority of the business. ' ' f " "Stowed away In the majority of. us is that touch of human vanity whioh urges us to have the best, to let the public know that we are not in a clasn with the cheaper fellows and to put forth every effort to gratify our de sires along this line, no matter who pays for it. In these days when the price of som; foods and other commodities is high, we should stow away our pride and vanity and let the 'other fellow trade at the costly shop! up the road. This can be done with little effort and if universally adopted there would be no such thing as the high cost of living nor the cost of high living."
