" ' - ' ' ' , '' ' So long aa oap boxes, old chairs and other discarded household article can be converted into crude specimen!! of sleds the "small fry" is not worrying about the post ponement of the warmer wave which Is expected some of these days to break the grip of old Jack Frost in these .parts. , - - .. , ; ' . . ' . The report tbu the shoe trust is to be investigated by the federal Trade Commission is consoling in spite of the fact' that tha average citizen la not awar that any of the Federal Trad Commission's investigations have ever reduced the price on any riving necessity. , Sometime ago it was reported that the Food Admini stration would issue a schedule of price to govern sell era and consumers but so far only sugar has been spe cifically priced and other living necessities are scheduled to be sold under the broad and uncertain stipulation "at , reasonable profit." The Free Press believes that the Food (Administration would do well to prepare a market list indicating the maximum price on practically all liv ing necessities. Tha Free Press was very glad to be able to give as surance in its news columns Thursday from the super intendent of tha light and water department that titer was little-danger of the water mains in Kins ton freez ing. We had been o informed before and we know that it is the general impression that the freezing of the rosins is hardly probable, but the present protracted spell of weather is so unusual that it is not safe to judge by past records what will be the outcome. Whether tho water mains are kept open and ready for service or not, The Free Press feels that the people should exercise every care possible to avoid Are. ARMISTICE OF POLITICAL PARTIES. ' In a letter to tho press and other leaders of thought and moulders of public sentiment in the country Thomas J. Howells of Pittsburgh suggcats that an armistice among the various political parties b. declared for the congressional elections slated for this year. Mr. Howells' suggestion has food for thought II points out that party lines have been largely disregarded by Congress In its practical, unanimous support of President Wilson in matters pertaining to the war and that with few ex ceptions representatives of all parties voted with the President for declaration of war on the Teutonic pow er and have championed and endorsed his suggestions and proclamations subsequent to those declarations. 'Mr. Howells urges the return of those men who havo supported the President without the necessity of going through bitter contests and he takes the position that the defeat of anJconsiderable number of the Admini stration supporters, whether they be Democrats, Repub licans or what not, will give heart to the fallacious idea ilready entertained in Berlin and Vienna that the Ameri can people are not in accord with their leaders; whereas on the other hand if these representatives are endorsed and returned no such idea can find support ' . Not only do those suggestions and reasons of Mr. Howells' appeal to The Free Press, but the broader and stronger national unity, so essential at this time makes the idea of bitter factional fight repellent to the higher ideals of citizenship. The Free Press ibelieves that thoe men who have patriotically disregarded party lines and stood by the Administration, should be return ed to Congress and that without the necessity of leav. ?ng their places in the congressional halls to wage in tensive campaigns.. On the other hand those men who have been lukewarm land who have been openly in oppo sition to the wall of the great majority of the people and to the policy of the Administration (regardless of their party affiliations should be retired to private Kfe. This is a time when patriotism should be exalted above ev erything else and when treason, sedition and their very appearance should be denounced. ; v . FOOD ADMINISTRATION PREPARING TO PUT SCREWS ON UNSCRUPULOUS DEALERS Rumblings of Impatience Being Heard Around Headquarters. Selfish and Unpatriotic Consumers Will be Dealt With JUso-HPine $5000 Two Years Imprisonment Penalty for Hoarding Administrator Henry A. Page Tightening the Reins. ENCOURAGING INDICATIONS. What is actually in the Teuton's miind now with ref erence to ipeaco is a matter of considerable speculation throughout the world. The actual condition of the re sources of Germany are not known. Whether the food auppiiea are as meagre as recent reports indicate is a question that cannot - be definitely answered, and the average person as well as officials, whose duty it is to analyze the reports and keep in touch, are hopeful that the numerous reports are dependable. Whether they k-r overdrawn or not The Free Press believes that "where there is so much smoke there must be some fire" and that accordingly the. reports- indicating a weaken-1 ing ; on the pant of Germany have' some . foundation worthy of confidence at least. Germany, however, is. putting up a bold front and re gardless of the actual condition of her internal affairs the. Allies must prepare and fight as if the bold front was truly representative of actual copwitiohs. ' Many an almost conquered antagonist ha finally prevailed because of ability to hok! on and put up a bold front The work' of the 'Allies -will not be complete until Ger many Is rendered incapable of even maintaining the out ward appearance of strength and resources. The termi nation of hostilities prior to that event would simply mean affording time for second wind. Americans should take heart at the encouraging reports but their encouragement should manifest iself in re newed and continued determination to accomplish the end for which this country and its Allies strive. Raleigh. Notwithstanding its oft repeated and prove assertions that lis attitude toward all dealers In food stuffs Is first of all friendly, and that it fs desirous of co-operating with all handlers of foodstuffs, rumblings of impatience at petty profiteering are beginning to be heard around the quarters of the Food Administrates in this city. That Food Administrator Henry A. Pag has at heart the Interests of the producers and handlers of foodstuffs ha been demonstrated by his action m straightening out the wheat situa tion In the state and by his attitude toward all wholesalers end retailers In their respective conferences here; but Mr. Page Is not famous either (or his patience, in the face of injury, nor for his forbearance when laws are . be ing violated and people , oppressed through the greed or grasping or utf patriotlc dealers. Offenders to be Put of Business. Where wanton vlolationa f ' the law and policy of the Food Adminis tration are found, it is anticiapted that the offending dealers will be pun ished by the simple procedure ot put ting them out of business. Where profiteers are shrewd enough to stay barely within the bounds they will be put in a class of suspects and watched. In order to give the consumer bet ter protection and to secure from the consumer more effective co-operation, the food Administration contemplates lettering to the papers throughout the utatei occasional $rice lists showing Ithe average cost of staple food com modities to the dealers and the price (at which dealers should be able to buy. The publication of these prices I should be of inestimable value to the i people of the State. : What's In Store for Hoarders. As a result of reports that have reached it from two counties in ths State the Food Administration has in structed all County Food Administra tors to investigate and report prompt ly any evidences of hoarding of food stuffs. Reports that have been inves tigated so far were found to have orig inated as the result of the practice of some farmers in the two counties men tioned of purchasing most of their food supplies in large ouanlties after marketing their crops? Even this w practice, where it has been the cus tom for""yeara. cannot be tolerated under present conditions. Consumers of food commodities as well as dealers are subject to the provisions of the Food Control Law, section 6 of Which" provides thst any necessity shall b deemed to be hoarded when held, contracted or ar ranged for, by any person in excess of his reasonable requirements for a reasonable time. The penalty for violation of this provision is a fine of $6,000 or two years' imprisonment, or both, and in addition, the commod ity hoarded is subject to confiscation, targe Purchases Inexcusable. State Food Administrator Henry A. Page points out that there is abso lutely no excuse for purchasing food stuffs in large quantities, because (1) prices have been stabilized and are no more apt to advance than they are to decline, and (2) the Food Ad ministration's first concern is to sup ply our own people with foodstuffs and it will not permit the exportation of such an amount of any commodity as will endnager the supply necessary for home consumption. .The great Injury thst would be worked by this practice is clearly pointed out as follows: (1) It would add to the burden of the railroads, which are already strained to the breaking point. 2) It would tend to advance prices and thereby work an injusitce to all consumers of foodstuffs. (3) It would deprive our own sol diers, the soldiers of our Allies, the civilian population of our Allies and the hundreds of thousands of STARV INO WOMEN AND CHILDREN In Europe, of foodstuffs which are need ed not only to help win the war, but to save innocent people from actual and certain starvation. In the face of these facts Food Ad ministrator Page does not hesitate to vigorously denounce any person who has any inclination toward hoarding as selfish and unpatriotic to an extent that is approaching the traitorous. Mr. Page does not believe there will be any hoarding in North Carolina, but if there are those who are selfish and unpatriotic and foolish enough to attempt It they will be dealt with promptly and vigorously. , i fMRForjcSwmFmfc As1li.n1l ' Tttm ili 1 -sT'irn-'f J w IXATNS LEATK KINSTOX , , East BonaC 11:S1 p. m.
