Padoch, Kentucky, added to the list of victims done
to death in Judge Lynch's tribunal Monday when two ne
crroea were twang up and their bodies burned. One of
the victims of the mob'a wrath was thought to have been
guilty of a heinous crime and the other was guilty of
condoning the offense, and sympathising with the brute
The first, had hi guilt been provon in any court of law,
would have Buffered the death penalty and, the second,
looae-tongued and Irresponsible, as many of his race are,
would have no doubt been adequately punished for his in
discretion. The mob, however, didn't see It that way,
but, as usual, took matters Into its own hands and brought
ita State and community into disrepute and unenviable
publicity, The good people of Paducah were not respon
eible, howbelt they will have to suffer most. It was the
earns old story, an irresponsible set of follows in ths mad

KINSTON IN THE LIMELIGIIT.
. Several days ago when Col. S. Leard, General Pas
onger Agent of the Norfolk Southern, and good friend of
Kimrlon, was here to jnake final arrangements for han
dling the crowds expected next week for th second an
nual exhibit of the Kinton-Falr,.ha commented on the
marked improyementa that were constantly taking place
hereabouts and complimented verjr h'fthly the Kinston
pirit. He had already been tq nsveral other fairs, large
and, small, this year and remarked, that none of them
would exceed Kington's undertaking. Said he, "You know,
1 havent Btopped talking about your first fair last year.
It was a revelation to everybody whet attended it, and the
KJnslon spirit which, pushed forward and accomplished
ao successfully the big undertaking was truly remarkable
and, commendable." Col. Leard added that this year's
fair was bound to be big success, Suid he. "Your pres
tige was established last year."
Few Klnstonlans have really atdppod to analyze and
appreciate what a splendid impression was created by
the success of last year's fair and what an opportunity
; is given this year for still fuVther good work and none
can appreciate as do the outsiders what the culmination
of the community spirit has meant in the way of beneficial
fibliclty for this section.
Let every cithon hereabouts lend his unstinted co-operation
to make of the four days next week all that it la
possible to make of them. L?t the good people who
come from Kinaton's trade 'territory retu-ti to their homes
with the song on their lips. "(Jreat is Kinston" and The
Ftvs Press will continue to help them t ?ll its story.
MR. K1TCML"S ADDRESS. ' v
.' That Congressman Claude Kitchin Jnade a good speech
when he addressed the Kinston voters in the Courthouse
Tuesday goes without saying. As one of the Republican
leaders, present, remarked to a friend before the speak
ing began: "lie always makes a good speech.'and I came
because I like to hear a good speech whether I agree with
the speaker or not",
Evenr Democrat nresent agreed with what Mr. Kit-
chin had to say Tuesday because his speech was but a re
port of Democracy's service to the State and Nation and
none, who heard him and who are fairly familiar with
the records of the past four years in National politics
and the past aixteen years in State affairs, could fail to
endorse the splendid "records that have been made by De
mocracy, unless they be those cf the opposing party whoa?
minds were perforce closed by partisan politics and bias
Mr. Kitchin sounded two notes which The Free Pres
has repeatedly emphasized since the campaign opened.
First, that there was no issue between the Democratic
and Republican parties and that Mr. Hujrhes, in spit
of his remarkable ability as speaker and leader, har"
failed to find an issue on which his party could stand and
become enthused. The second was his emphasis of th
good fortune of this country in having Woodrow Wilsor
in the White House to maintain peace when the balancr
of the world was war mad.
Mr. Kitchin correctly, we believe, attributed the pres
crvation of peace in America, in spite of the many and
grievous provocations to "fly off the handle" and seel-
summary vengeance for trespassing on the right3 of thi
country, to the able leadership and wisdom of the Chris-
Man man, who sits in the White House. Unquestionably
here have been times when men of less poise and far
sightedness would have precipitated war and would hav
probably had the endorsement of the people for so doing
Yes! the endorsement of those same people who now
looking back, can't help but see the wisdom that has beer
Mr. Wilson's in guiding the destinies of this Nation, am'
K.
of preserving from the cruel cannon'a mouth every moth
er's son among us.
The maintenance of peace is the great issue in th.
present campaign and it rises far above any partisan po-
itical lines. It is an issue of ths people without regard
o political affiliations. The American people are mak-
ng the preservation of peace their issue, and they an
allying to the colors of Woodrow Wilson asthe great
apostle and exponent of peace. They are pinning their
faith to him because he has demonstrated that he is able
o withstand petty provocations and maintain peace and
prosperity, and more will be added to his ranks as this
good doctrine of pence on earth and good will to mer
is translated to the rank and file of the voters in term?
f Woodrow Wilson's conception of leadership.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
NOTHING AUTHORITATIVE GIVEN OUT.
Richmond Virginian: "Pending formal announcement
from the authorities of , the Johns Hopkins Hospital, an
nterested public will do well to avoid hasty conclusions
front those 'it-is-understood' reports spread broadcast by
one of the press bureaux. When the hospital ha3 its Te
sults verified and established, it will promptly and con
servatively state them to the country: meantim?, its path
ologists can only be cmbarrassjd bv the hasty publica
tion of half-Vuths.
As far as we have been able to gather, the results at
he Hopkins havo thus far carried the investigators only
to a new field of inquiry. Following its usual rule, the
ospital has had autopsies performed on as many as pos-
ible of the victims of infantile paralysis. In every in
stance marked disturbance of the lower intestine has been
oted, along with the now-familiar lesions elsewhere.
These findings naturally suggest infection by mouth in
omewhat the same manneV as with typhoid fever. But
hether the mouth-infection is due to food, drink, care
less habits or insect carriers is yet to bo determined. Nor
should too much importance be attached to the report that
the disease has been produced in a rabbit at Johns Hop-
ins. Rabbits have been shown by Frost and others to
be susceptible to tbo disease under certain conditions, but
they have shown such erratic symptoms and such vary-
ng susceptibility that few have been willing to venture
conclusions from the experiments with rabbits. Until it
is known, therefore, how the rabbit was infected, and
whether Frost's methods we're
ment will be suspended."
