. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1916
Mr. Hughes is atlll talking "false politics" and the in
dependent voters and those who think for themselves and
1 honestly want a continuance of good times are flocking
to die Wilson colors.

The U-53 seems to be playing a game of hide-and-seek
nd the British ships, leaving American ports, have as
turned the very natural attitude of the small boy in
the game, of peeping out to see if the coaet is clear be

: Remember the purchase of a season ticket for the Ly-
yNura. The first of the five attractions to be given nex
Friday evening, will mean not only getting value receiv

for tie institution of a much-needed playground for the

: Because of the Adamson eight-hour law and other man
ifestations' of fair dealing with the peopls of this country
the laboring men have indicated their intention to sup
port Woodrow Wilson for President, and in spite of that

and who , realize that America is today enjoying peace
and prosperity because pf the able leadership of Wood
row Wilson, are announcing their intention of supporting
and voting for him. '
APPEAL FOB ALBANIA.
Elsewhere in this issue of The Free Press win be found
an appeal from the Balkan Relief Committee in behalf of
starving Albania. The secretary of the committee, Mr
William Willard Howard of New York, hat just gotten
back from his third trip to Albania, and he reports that
the entire population of that little country, three hun
dred thousand of whom are Christiana, will actually
starve to death unless America sends relief. Mr. How
ard quotes the price of living necessities, which in them
selves give evidence that there must be the irreatest need
for immediate assistance. For instance, corn in Albania
is quoted at $50 a bushel, flour at $80 a sack, and maca
roni at $5 a pound. The majority of the population
women and children .Mr. Howard declares, is subsisting
on the carcasses of dead animals. The work of relief
is going on under the direction of Mr. Howard's commit
tee and it is planned to carry a shipload of provisions
at an early date.
If there are those in this community who would con
tribute to the relief of these people such "contributions
should be sent to the Rev. Frederick Lynch, 70 Fifth Ave
nue, New York. Contributions from the price of a loaf
of bread up- are acceptable.
The Free Prees believes It expresses the sentiment of
the people of this community in congratulating the local
member of the United Daughter of the Confederacy in
their succeWin securing the 1917 convention of the
North Carolina divisinf. Kinston Is Always glad to have
at its guests representatives of the good people of the
. various sections of the State in their annual gatherings,
and particularly gratifying is it when so distinguished a
, body as the United strghters of confederacy elect
to hold their annual meeting here.

"HITTING THE NAIL ON HEAD."
Honorable N. A. Sinclair, Democratic elector-at-larg?
from North Carolina, in his address before the voter of
Buncombe county, in Asheville last week, hit the nail on
the head when he declared that the Republican party was
born of sectionalism, and that it had always hated th
South. The Republican party has always represented
special interests and sections and its leaders, who have
occupied the White House, have never undertaken to re
fleet the sentiment of the South in matters which pertain
not only to the South, but to the Nation in general. Ap
pointments have been made throughout the South by Re
publican Presidents which not only failed to reflect th
wishes and sentiments of the majority of the people o
the localities, but in many instances were exceedingly dis
tasteful and obnoxious; and they were made not when
there was lack of acceptable material in the party ranks
but often with every earmark of intentional affront to the
feelings of the Southern people. Not until the Demo
cratlc Administration came into power and began to deal
out with an even and just hand regardless of section or
locality did the American people, so far as their govern
ment is concerned, truly appreciate what it means to be
a united people enjoying, without partisanship or favor
the full benefits of the government.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE OLD AND NEW PRISON REGIME.
Birmingham News: "Ths resignation of 'Tom Brown
from the superintendency of Sing Sing prison because
of lack of co-operation from the State prison authorities
inspires the question:
"Is the world ready to tempr justice with mercy in
its treatment of offenders against society's laws? Is so
ciety in the large prepared to believe that social salva
tion should be made free, even to those who have once
offended, and, for that offending, have been once shackled
or worn stripes or been shut out from the light of day?
"Forget the sentimontal side of the matter, if you
please. Just consider that here or there is a man who
has once worn the badge of crime: what shall we do with
him? Once he is removed from society, shall he be in
terdicted from a return to that society?
"Osborne's immediate reason for resigning is that 54
out of 84 'lifer' trusties employed at responsible tasks
outside their cells must heroafter be closely confined. Ac
cording to a ruling of James M. Carter, superintendent of
State prisons, the new order clearly means to decide that
when a man is once sent there for life, there shall be no
more upward looking and the light; he must forget the
man's stride, save only that species of it which involves
the lockstep; that good behavior, diligence, the little daily
acts that separate the striving prisoner from the brute
in the making, if there be such in the world, shall count
for naught after the key turns in the cell,
"Doubtless there will be a fight made by Osborne's
friends before his resignation is accepted, but the man
'a
himself probably will quit the struirgle altogether. His
efforts to get a full and fair trial for his honor system
and the Mutual Welcome league have met with repeated
rebuffs by men in high places old world men, men of
