MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1916
A Wilmington policeman charged with conduct unbe
coming an officer was tried and exonerated behind closed
doors. Not even the newspaper representatives were ad
mitted. The "closed door" policy in handling the aftair3
of the public is one that should not foe tolerated longer in
ny community. The policeman may have been innocent
of any wrong-doing, and we hope he was, but the public
don't know whether his exoneration was a white-washing
procedure or not and the public shojld know.
Readers of newspapers throughout he State will note
with pleasure that the prominent Durham citizen, who
has twice been on trial on the charge of violating the
code of honor with womaiCJind who has twice proven
convincingly that ht was entirely innocent of the whoh
matter, has coma out of the unfortunate and unpleasant
affair unscathed. The charge was brought by a youn?
married woman first in criminal proceedings and more
lately in the shape of a suit for damages. The case on
its face appears to be one for the investigation of the
Government along with the Chicago and other blackmail
ers. Alienists testified that the prosecutrix was afflicted
with unsound mind. If such be the case she should be,
confined in a suitable place for those so afflicted. For
there is no assurance that other men of money and char
acter may not be the Innocent victims of her "madness,"
encouraged by the unscrupulous! ess of "systers," who
would stop at nothing where there is the slimmest hope
of obtaining a fee.

HUGHES, THE SOUTH'S DECRIER.
Republican campaigners art traversing North Caro
lina and other southern states, disparaging the records
of the Democratic party in the affairs of the states as
well as the nation. They cite figures to "prove" their
charges that EXTRAVAGANCE rules supreme; thr.t the
public money is being wasted 'to a degree that is squan
der; that mismanagement under the Democratic regime,
if left uncorrected by turning out the Democrats and put
ting in Republicans, will bring disaster; in fact, they
would argue now that DISASTER knocks at the door;
that the unprecedented prosperity, which now smiles upon
na, is but temporary, etc. Their very arguments are
effrontery to an intelligent and thinking people. There
may have been some extravagance, soma miumani'e
ment, for unquestionably men unfit for public office have
been elected and entrusted with responsibility, which they
were not equal to, from time immemorial. The people,
as a rule, are wise enough to let "well enough alone,"
when that "well" means an ever-increasing prosperity an !
nappiness. The "temporary" argument is ridiculous.
There would be about as much senss and reason in a
horsetrader stopping an intelligent farmer cn the high
way, who is driving a good horse, and say to him that
the horse's good qualities are but temporary, that he will
halk at the next upgrade, and for that reason the farmer
should make quick to dispose of the animal. The pur
pose of the trader would be quickly diseernable but no1
nrre so than is the empty play for place being made by
the Republican spellbinders.
The question for the good people of the South to ask
thehtselves is. What has the Republican party ever don.1
for the South? For the first time since before the War Be
tween the States the South now enjoys a fair share of jrov
crnmental offices and the benefits of their national gov-
eminent. And because the Wilson administration has 1
i-J.it. Upoi: what scales will such a
man he weighed that should balance
differently? Will not the unknown
h entitled to the same treatment ?
There is but one answer: it is for self-aggrandizimiEnt. i,.,,, j3 plead as evidence of his
No half intelligent person will believe that a revival of
sectionalism, that an array of bitter sectional feeling can
poasibly tend to good. If for no other reason, the people
of the country would be justified in turning Mr. Hughes
down because of his attempt to destroy the wholesome- ( Clearly it begins to look as if it wi',I

Mr. Hughes, the South's deerier, asks for the suppirt I
of southern voters, and if he (rets it in sufficient quantity 0
to be elected, he would probably' begin at onee. as hav?
his predecessors, to deal out patronage in a way th i-

THE MEAT OF THE MATTER.
"It will be intolerable if at any time any group of
men by any process should be suffered to cut society off
from the necessary supplies which sustain life." This
extract from President Wilson's remarks to the business
men. who gathered at the summer capital Saturday, in
reference to the recent catastrophe, which threatened
this country, is the meat of the matter. The Free Presi
has time and again, since the controversy between the
railroad managers and some of their employes became
a matter of public concern because of the disastrous con
ditions, the threatened breach promised, taken the posi
tion that the Congress of the United States must, if pos
sible, and we believe it entirely so, remove the danger
of nine-tenths of the people of this country, or any con
siderable proportion of the population, being brought to
suffer unnecessarily because of the sharp differences and
disagreements of the other one-tenth. The Free Press
would not urge nor tolerate without protest class legis
lation. It would not advocate the enactment of nny
statutes which vould deprive any individual or collection
of individuals their rights, but it would so circumscribs
the exercise of unwarranted arrogance of power, whathe
it be .by capital or labor, as to protect the great mass of
the people the innocent bystander, if you please.
Mr. Wilson touched the key-note in the words which
are quoted above. The interests and welfare of the whole
people must be governed by the"whole people and not by
the whims and desires of a. few.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
A QUESTION OF CAPACITY. -
Wilmington Dispatch: "Ex-Judge Cooke, of Asheville,
has escaped the odium, and more or less fine in conse
quence, of being a 'blind tiger,' but has gained for him
self a reputation for thirst that would make the well
known containing qualities of John L, Sullivan, in his
palmy days, look like a gill cup. The former member of
the judiciary has established a capacity near unto that of
some ultra huge mammal. According to newspaper re
ports, he was caught with the goods, to the amount of
nine gallons of whisky, ensconced in a trunk. The ex
Judge was arrested and haled to court. The fact that he
had in his possession more than the one gallon stipulated
by law was prima facie evidence of his guilt. In oth?r
words, the burden of proof shifted, and the Judge has
to extricate himself fram the meshes. This the jurist
found not at all difficult. He simply set forth that he
had brought in the stuff for his own use, per. anal con
sumption, and the case was dismissed. There was no
physical gauge as to capacity, no evidence, we suppose,
that the Judge objected to paying express rates, or with
great foresight, was buying when the market was down,
probably obtaining bargains on the Virginia market, soon
to go dry and, in anticipation of such, cut rates prevail
in the Old Dominion. In fact, the Judge did not have to
produce witnesses to testify as to his reputation for thirst.
He simply averred that it was forhis own use. and as
the court recognized in him a man of veracity it dismissed
