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?'

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

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.

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.
