THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 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 is tame and returns for the time being to the habits of his ancestors and feasts on choice fowls. The Kxhlbltkm of foxes in the poultry department is some what incongruous, and iis 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 diefavor ever since he made his first utterance of vituperation. And the 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 alt misfits and "indefensible excuses." But the Westerners who don't agree with the Colonel and who wiH tack, their opinions fey casting their votes for Wood- row Wilson will approach in volume and intensity an avalanche. , . It is to be regretted that seme miscreant Is plying his trade ts "bootlegger" at the Fair grounds. At least, from the number of drunks on the grounds Wednesday, there was evidence of a "sightless tiger" being in the vicinity. The Ftfee Press understands that Secretary Canady and the Fair officials had their sleuths bonding 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 ho proven, would be worthy meat for the scalawag. The Kinalcn Fair established a splendid precedent last year for good order, only on arrest being made during the 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 has prevailed and aside from the three or four drunks, there is nothing to merit criticism at all. Th Fair man : agement is determined that those who are .responsible for the drunks shall understand, if they are detected in their nefarious trade, that they can't ply th;ir work at the Kinston Fair. It'a a place for decent, law-abiding folks, where women and children and all others may io assured a pleasant time, devoid of drunken and other distasteful spectacles. GOVERNOR CRAIG COMMUTES SENTENCE. 1 UNDER WHICH FLAG?' Tat commutation oi tne sentence oi mggms aim jicr rltt, convicted of murder in Graham county and sentenced to the. alectric chair by Governor Locke Craig, should have the endorsement of the right-thinking people of North Carolina. In spite of the fact that these men were convicted of the crime, they have steadfastly main tained their innocence even in the very shadow of th3 electric chair, and reputable citizens who have interested ARE MONEYED GROUPS BEHIND CMS. HUGHES By GEORGE CREEL. themselves in behalf of the men are convinced of their . Jidate Hughes. innocence. There is 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, liut 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?" might well be asked of the motley crew behind Can- 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 br appreciated by many of the road's employes who will be able to acquire knowledge through its use. The library starts with 1300 volumes, embracing a wid: range and, in fact, practically every 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, and Travel and Topography are all taken care of in the selec tion of the ibooks. WHAT OTHERS SAY "HERE'S TO RICHMOND." Raleigh News and Observer: "The people of Raleirr are deeply appreciative of the support which is being giv cn by Richmond to it in the fight that this city is making 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 B'jard yesterday va not perfunctory. It was not a support that had back of k 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 or!! from Richmond Without doubt having an effect upo.. 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 ir Its fight. And as members of the delegation spoke fo Raleigh they gave succinct reasons why this city shoulJ ibe the choice of the board. The arguments which wer presented were based upon the facts of the situation. "Raleigh is glad that Richmond has done so fine ; thing in its behalf, in the face of the fact that a Vir ginia city is also asking for the location of the bunk. Wit! the plea of Richmond added to the strong showing madi in behalf of North Carolina and Raleigh, it would seen that when the announcement of the selection of the dis tricts is made that Virginia and North Carolina will bt , in the same district, and that Raleigh will be mado 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." Roosevelt, 'Bacon, J. P. Morgan and 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 disas ter by breaking off diplomatic rela tions with Berlin and then seizing all h2 German ships interned in our ports. They are for Hughes because ;hey have reason to believe that he will throw the strength of America to 'he Allies. The Gorman-American Alliance, as sisted by Jeremiah O'Leary, is fight ing President Wilson because he has io' tinned the government of the United Statej over to th.- German Foreign Office. They are enraged because he made Germany stop the .laughter of neutrals and non-comba-ants, 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 iielieve that he will ft row the strength of America to the Kaiser. Noither of these two jrreat groups is giving a thought to the United Str.tes. It is of Eurone that they ire thinking and working, and when ihey cast their votes it will be either for King or Kaiser. What can be thought of a ca:idi late willing to receive such support and able to 'retain it? Two groups "tating each other, and working for two absolutely different ends, and vet in the same political camp. If the United States were not at stake, it could almost bL- wished that Mr. Hughes would win in order that the -ountry might be edified by the dog light that would follow.
