MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1916
We apprehend that the survivors of the tug which wai
sunk In collision with the submarine Deuischland wouli
almost be willing to acclaim that the expert, who ex
amlned the merchantman "Tiave been wrong In reportlnj
that It was unarmed.
,We notice a well-known health officer advises the peo
pie of his district to awat the fly now and prevent typhoh
fever next summer. The doctor's advice is applicabl
hereabouU and If heeded would unquestionably add mucl
. to 'the pleasure, comfort and safety of living in Kinston
pur city authorities would do wull to have teamsters
who haul gravel through thestreots, to chink the crack
and thus relieve others who have occasion to use th-
.streets of the nuisance and incovenience of riding ove
, lot of rough gravel scattered from one side of th
r thoroughfare to the other.

boys to know that they are not only attracting atton

DEMOCRACY'S OBLIGATION.
Attention has been directed before in these columjis t
he deficit Incurred by the National Democratic Com
nittee in the re-election of President Wilson and ic
'resident Marshall., $300,000 more than was .subscribe
vas expended. This money must be paid. It is an )'.
nation upon Democracy which cannot be Ignored. c
etaiy Mac-Rae of the North Carolina committee suRKcMt
that:
; "In all probability it was this last $.!0O,0OO
spent: by the National Committe.' which assured
f Mr. Wilson's re-election."
i The Republican campaign was provided, as it has al
ays been, with ample fund. There was no lack o
Jnoney and the Democratic committee had to take cars o
',he doubtful precincts and naturally money had to b
sed for travelling and other necessary expenses fo
Shosc who were called upon to uphold the standard
democracy. In Ohio, for instance, where the Democrat
on such a signal victory, Mr. Hughes' committee ad
nHtedly spent over $300,000.
In appealing for the help of the Democrats of Nortl
Carolina, Socretary MacRaie says:
"Will you not make this matter of Democratic
credit the baHls of a request for a public subscrlp
t tlon, (1) from all Democrats who wanted to
' give tr the original fund, but for any reason
( failed to do so; (2) from those who gave to the
original fund, but who would be glad to give
more liberally; and (3) from those who were
liberal in the first instance, but who feel suf
ficient joy over th vlftory to give more, in order
to make a clear record, as well as a glorious
one, for the Democratic party."
The Free Press will be glad tft receive and transmi
iny contributions which may be made by the Democrat
f this section or such contributions may be made to th
ocal finance committee composed of Messrs. N. J. Rous1
G. Dawsoii and Dr. J. M. Parrott. Let Lenoil dt it
parti
Stories coming from Mexico indicate that the Villa!
outlaws are again carryinituttLiituiir crusades of murder
and pillage and that their dastardly work is being per- j
petrated with as much jjaj-ociousjesa as ever. The re- J
nawtd activities of Villa indicate very clearly the wis-'
dam of President Wilson and the army heads in insist
ing upon keeping General Pershing's expedition on Mex- j
lean eoll. There Is little doubt but that conditions would
have been as bad now us "before American troopn enter- j
ed Mexico had there been a withdrawal when Carranzu
insisted upon it.
OENGEROUS CROSSING.
The Free Press has heard more or less complaint abou'
he grade crossing o( tbXTtl'anticCoast Line andth(
oad leading from Kinston to Grifton and known as thi
irifton road. Some accidents have occurred at thi;
-rosslng. Not long ago a wagon was struck and we an
nformed that there have been several near accidents re
ently. One reputable citizen reports that it was onh
y whipping up his horse that he was able to clear th
rack before an oncoming train, which had been com
detely hidden from view by a string of box cars parked
n the siding and abutting the crossing. The cltlzer
laims that no signal was sounded by the approaching
rain.
None of the crossings in Kinston are bcinj protected
is they should be. Some of them are provided with
nates but they are operated irregularly and, as has be
fore been pointed out, are perhaps more of a menace than
they are of a safeguard, because it Is natural to suppose
that seeing the gates passers will depend upon them
for protection and not take precautions, which they would
otherwise do if they felt that the full responsibility was
uponhem. It would be well for the railroad officials to
takef'he Initiative and provide for the safety of the pub
lic at the Grifton crossing, and it would not be amiss for
an Investigation to be made and proper safeguards in
sured at all the grade crossings In the city. There Is no
need to wait for some terrible accident to arouse the com
munity. There have been enough of those in other loenli
tles. Why not profit by the experience of others?
