WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1916 The pre-elertion verdict of thinking people throughout the country is: "Woodrow Wilson's defeat would be a national and an international calamity." You can hardly censure a fox too severely who forgets that ha ia tame and returns for the time being to the habits of his ancestors and feasts on choice fowls. The exhibition of foxes in the poultry department is some what inoongruotrf, and is putting irresistible temptation in the way of an otherwise well-behaved animal . ' Fault finding and continual knocking, even if there is sufficient ground to warrant such, doesn't find favor with the public. Mr, Hughes has done nothing, but And fault, and he has been growing in disfavor evjr since be made his first utterance of vituperation. And tha lack of foundation for his criticisms has added force to the popular antagonism. The "Big Sticker" is out in the wild and woolly West, telling the boys out there that Wilson, Baker and Dan iels are all misfit and "indefensible excuses." But the ' Westerners who don't agree with tha Colonel and who wiH back thtir opinions by casting tlSsir votes for Wood- j row ;;WilJMn will nnnrAiiMi An vnlumn nnA IntAtvuIfi, an I " ' ' .-.-...w.v. ......,.v, avalanche. GOVERNOR CRAIG COMMUTES SENTENCE. Tha commutation of the sentence of Wiggins and Mor ritt, convicted of murder in Graham county and sentenced to the electric chair by Governor Locke Craig, should have the endorsement of the right-thinking people of North Carolina. In spite of the fact that the3e men Were convicted of the crime, they have steadfastly main tained their innocence even in the very shadow of tha electric chair, and reputable citizens who have intereatel themselves in behalf of the men are convinced of their innocence. There it doubt of their guilt, and it is a good rule that gives the defendant benefit of the doubt, and especially so when depriving him of that benefit takes his life. Life imprisonment is hard, but it affords an opportunity to rectify in part, at least, an injustice, if later developments show that these men were not guilty. The Governor did right to save them from the electric chair. 'UNDER WHICH FLAG?' ARE MONEYED GROUPS BEHIND CHAS. HUGHES THE RAILROAD LIBRARY. The establishment of a library by Mr. Marsden J. Perry, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nor folk Southern Railroad, for the use and benefit of the employes is, as the news story carried about it in The Free Press Wednesday stated, not only an innovation in railroad circles, but is a plan that should work not only to the interests of the employes but to the interest of the company. "Knowledge Is Power," and the availa bility of a comprehensive library will unquestionably !: appreciated by many of the road's employes who will lr able to acquire knowledge through its use. The library starts with 1300 volumes, embracing a wirl- range and, in fact, practically ejvery branch that would be found in any good library. Arts, Biography, Classi cal, Fiction, History, Literature, Poetry and Drama, Ref erence, Romance, Science, Theology and Philosophy, am! Travel and Topography are all taken care of in the selec tion of the books. WHAT OTHERS SAY It is to be regretted that some miscreant is plying his trade as "bootlegger" at the Fair grounds. At host, from the number of drunks on the grounds Wednesday, there was evidence of a "slghtln! t!ger" being in tho vicinity. The Free Press understands that Secretary Canady and the Fair officials had their sleuths bending every energy to the apprehension of the supposed out law, and it is to be hoped that the "beast" will be run to earth and made to face the bar of justice. The limit of the law for each selling offense, that can bo proven, would be worthy meat for the scalawag. Tha Kinston Fair established a splendid precedent las! year for good order, only one arrest being made during tha entire Fair, and the officers and management of the Fair are determined that the reputation of the first year , shall be maintained. So far, this year, splendid order j has prevailed and aside from the three or four drunks, then is nothing to merit criticism at all. The Fair man agement is determined that those, who are responsibl1 ' for tha drunks shall understand, if they are detected in their nefarious trade, that they can't ply th:ir work at tha Kinston Fair. It's a place for decent, law-abiding folksy where women and children and all other may j assured a pleasant time, devoid of drunken and oth:r distasteful spectacles. THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 26. 191H "HERE'S TO RICHMOND." Raleigh News and1 Observer: "The people of Ral?if" are deeply appreciative of the support which i s hointf iriv en by Richmond to it in the fight that this city is makinp to secure, the location of one of the Farm Loan banks The spirit manifested by Richmond is altogether admir able. "The support given Raleigh by Richmond in the hear ing before the Federal Farm Loan F.'oard yesterday wac not perfunctory. It was not a support that had back of it merely the fact that Raleigh had supported Richmond in its winning fight to secure the location of one of the Federal Reserve banks. It was support of the enthusias tic kind which was given, the strong words of the visit ors from Richmond without doubt having an effect upor the Federal Farm Loan Board. "The banks of Richmond, the official life of Richmond the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, each had represen tatives in the delegation which came to aid Raleigh ii. its fight. And as members of the delegation spoke fo Raleigh they gave succinct reasons why this city shoul:' be the choice of the board. The arguments which wei" presented were based upon the facts of the situation. "Raleigh is glad that Richmond has done so fins thing in its behalf, in the face of the fact that a Vir ginia city is also asking for the location of tho bank. With the plea of Richmond added to the strong showing mud. in behalf of North Carolina and Raleigh, it would seerr that when the announcement of the selection of the dis tricts is made that Virginia and North Carolina will be in the same district, and that Raleigh will be made the location of the bank for the district. But whether or not this is so Raleigh will never forget the splendid sup port given it by Richmond. Here's hoping that both will be gratified when the award is made." j By GEORGE CREEL. "Under which flag?" might well be I asked of the motley crew behind Can didate Hughes. I R:vsevelt, Bacon, J. P. Morgan land all the Morgan millions, are now fighting President Wilson because he has not turned the government of the United States over to the British For eign office. They are enraged that he did not protest against the German occupation of Belgium, and that he lid not follow up the Lusitania disa3 ier by breaking off diplomatic rela tions with Berlin and then seizing all t h 3 German ship.? interned in our ports. They are for Hughes because ihey have reason to believe that he will throw the strength of America to .he Allies. The German-American Alliance, as sisted by Jeremiah O'Leary, is fight ing President Wilson because he has not turned the government of the United StatM over to thi German Foreign Office. Tney are enraged because he made Germany stop the laughter of neutrals and non-comba-:,iir,i, and because h. has refused to break off diplomatic relations with London, as a result of mail seizures. They are for Hughes because they have reason to believe that he will rirow the strength of America to the K t'ser. Neither of these two great groups is giving a thought lo the United S tries. It is of Europe that they ira thinking and working, and when hoy east their votes it will be either for King or Kaiser. What can be thought of a candi date willing to receive such support and able to retain it? Two groups tating each other, and working for wo absolutely different ends, and yet in the same political camp. If he United States were not at stake, t could almost be wished that Mr. Hughes would win in order that the country might be edified by the dog fight that would follow.
