DECEMBER 15, 1916 6am Gompers et al are launching a movement to hint the President's salary increased. Mr. Wilson will no doubt appreciate the injunction, "casting bread upon the waters." the offender to some consideration, but the "blind tigc,' that despicable, scheming, contriving, conniving law breaker, should not, we believe, even on first offense, be permitted to pay a fine which, by t!ie continuance of hi? illegal business, he can recover in short order, but shouiJ le jriven a work sentence for each and every effense of which he stands convicted. As a matter of Tact, The Free Press advocated the i cnanging or tne law now giving i me court me option of a fine or work sentence with reference to the enfe. . ment of the anti-liquer laws, so t'.iat it will be mandatory upon the tribunal to impose a work sentence. When the booze-peddlers, who move about in Hheep's clothing, when in reality within they are raveninjr wolves, unuerstr.nl that upon detection and conviction they face a work sen tence with no alternative of a fine, tome at 'east will h:ive a care before embarking in the business. 'Let's have res pect for the law created by its enforcement instead of the building up of a license system through fines.

The time in very short. A large committee is not needed. Thoae who would serve in this worthy cause should let it be known at once. The second thought of the Allies, as is generally th ease with,, mature deliberation, seems to be saner witr. respect to the attitude to be assumed towards the peace proposal of their enemies than were the foundations fot the first expressions.

WE STILL HOPE FOR A SQUARE DEAL. 'Not being learned in the law. we do not know wha effect the decision of the Supreme Court will have on th Britt-Weaver controversy. Of course, it is general!; known that the final decision regarding a seat in th House of Representatives is for the House itself to ren dtr, but it is to be Hoped that the State's Supreme Cour can clarify and Irive to whoever goes to Washington a the representative of the Tenth, credentials which vi stand the test of the House.

The question, "what has become of the wYiole-time health officer, the anti-fly crusade, etc."? has been rut to The Free Press on several occasions recently. The an swer has been that these righteous matters are n:t dead but resting. Paul's injunction to the Galatians: "Let us not be weary in welldoing, fur in due season we shall reap if we faint not," consolation in the effort to arouse the public conscience ot adequate machinery for so doing. It is true that there s a text that has given us a great deal ot omfori and consolation in the effort to urou,e .he public conscience to the necessity of safe ;uarding it- health through the creation of ade pjato machinery for so doing . It is true that thore las been little evidence of interest or co-operation on the Dart of those who should assist in a fight for the institu ion of necessary health measures. This is due perhaps argely to the fact that those, who have the intelligence and the information to appreciate the matter, have fai!ed to take into account that Kinston is no longer in the vil age stage and thit precautionary measures, necessary city life, a.e requisite to Kinston's safety now. Kin ton is growing. Her population has perhaps increased upward of two thousand within trie past twelve months, ut still Kinston has taken no steps whatsoever to throw round its people those safeguards, which they are en titled to.
