Governor Cox renewed his assaults on the Republi can campaign fund in his first New ..York speech at the Hotel Commodore luncheon. He was given a rousing re ception as he marched from the Dem ocratic club to the Commodore at the head of a mile-long parade. ' The candidate waved his hand in re sponse to greetings. , - "If it were; not that documents pre tented came, from the very inside of Republican headquarters, then ,v the country might look with some doubt on the whole thing for the simple reason that it is difficult to believe political generals can be so bald and brazen or foolish," said Cox. "And yet the very thing exposed was simply a repetition of the follies of years," he declared. New Haven, Conn. (On the Move With Cox), Aug. 28.

(By the United Press.) J Rio De Janeiro, Aug. 28 To any one who was in America last fall when the nation welcomed King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians, the preparations being made by Brazil to outdo her sister republic in a recep tion to tnese same royalties next -fall might be breath-taking. While no iron-clad program has yet been ar ranged, about the nnlv nuosHnri still to be answered is whether or not the royal couple can stand the strain. The Belgian rulers are not expect ed to arrive here until September but already scarcely a day goes by with out some new preparation for their visit being announced under glaring headlines in the press. . The Latin love of pomp and display is figuring largely in the plans. The army and navy are being worked ov ertime in an effort to whip them in to shape to pass the review of the soldier-king, and officers and men alike, ordinarily snappy enough for any army, are fairly on their toes two months in advance of the advent of the monarchs. A comparison between the propos ed Brazilian reception of the King and Queen and that accorded them in the United States is nothing if not startling. It is like comparing a prayer to a grand hurrah, ' Brazil knows how to make carnival and Rio has seen many gay nights and days. But it is doubtful if any fes tivity gone before will ever again be able to bat in the same league with this reception for the Belgian rulers. Wot if the committee on arrange ments, headed by the minister of for eign affairs, can help it. This is Enough Joe Almost Deserves Pardoning Af ter Seven Reprieves.

SECOND EDITION 6 ORGANIZATIONS IN 12 Declaration of Principles of Industrial Relations, Adopted by Nation, Gets Hearty Support in This State (By the United Press) vvasmngton, Aug. 28. six com mercial aitd industrial organizations in North Carolina have gone on record m support of a declaration of 12 prin ciples of industrial relations design ea to establish a basis on which em ployers and employees may work out employment problems. The vote was taken on the report of a committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, sub- mitted to a country-wide referendum of business associations. The prin- cipiles recieved the overwhelming api proval of the organizations voting in every state in the union. The organizations ' voting were Hardware Association of Carol in as Charlotte; , Chamber of Commerce, I ayettcville; Chamber of Commerce, Greensboro; Chamber of Commerce, Hickory; Heating and Piping Con tractors, North Charlotte; Wilkes Commercial Club, North Wilkesboro. Summarized, the 12 principles are as follows: The Principles. 1. Every person has the right to engage in any lawful, occupation and to enter individually or collectively in- to any lawful contract of employment, either as employer or employee. 2. The right to open-shop opera tion, that is, the right of employer and employee to determine the con ditions of employment relations with each other, is an essential part of the individual right of contract possessed by each of the parties. Organization Lawful. 3. All men possess the equal right to associate voluntarily for the ac complishment of lawful purposes by lawful means but such association con fers no authority over, and must not deny any right of, those who do not desire to act or deal with them. 4. Associations or combinations of employers or employees, or both, must be legally responsible for their con duct and that of their agents. 5. The restriction of productive effort or of output by either employer or employee for the purpose of ere- ating an artificial scarcity of the pro duct or of labor is an injury to so ciety. 6. The wage of labor must come out of the product of industry and must be earned and measured by its contribution thereto. It is the duty of management to cooperate with the worker to secure continuous employ mcnt. 7. The number of hours in the work day or week in which the maxi mum output, , consistent with the health and well-being of the individ ual, can be maintained in a given in dustry should lie ascertained by care ful study and never should be ex ceeded, except "in case of emergency, and one day of rest should be provid ed. .. Reduction in working hours be low such economic limit, in order to secure greater leisure for the individ ual, should be made only with under standing and acceptance of the fact that it involves a commensurate loss in the earning power of the workers, a limitation of output and an increase in the cost of the product. Adequate means satisfactory both to the employer and his era- pldyees, and voluntarily agreed to by them, should be provided lor discuss ion and adjustment of employment relations. 9. When the employer and his em ployees do not deal individually, but by mutual consent through represen tatives, representatives should not be chosen or controlled by or represent any outside group or interest. Fullest Consideration. 10. The greatest measure of re ward and well-being for both employ er! and employee and the full social value of their service must be sought in the successful conduct and full de velopment of the particular industri al establishment in which they are as sociated. 11. While the right of govern ment employees, to secure just treat ment must be amply safeguarded, the community welfare demands that no combination to prevent or impair the operation of government or of any government function shall be permit ted. 12. c The power of regulation and protection exercised by the State ov er the corporation should properly extend to the employees in so far as may be necessary to assure unimpair ed operation of public-utility service.

Increases DO Mil, Corporation Commission Still Intends to Fight Its Reopening FOUR WOMEN NOTARIES Aopointed by Bickett One at Goldsboro After Years Mrs. Knight Gets Office Wake Can't Ge Teachers (By MAX ABERNETHY) Raleigh, Aug. 28. The order of the State Corporation Commission yesterday putting into effect new in tra-state freight rates with a 25 per cent, increase on freight, 20 per cent, on excess baggage and 20 per cent, for milk, does not indicate that the commission intends to recede from its former position of opposing the reopening of the case in which the discrimination in favor of the Virginia cities was removed. Members ol the commission, as has been previously stated, intend to fight the reopening of the old Vir ginia case and will assist the North Carolina iraltic Association in an effort to prevail upon the Interstate Commerce Commission' to ignore the petition of the railroads. The order issued yesterday by the commission permitting the railroads operating in the State to put into effect the new schedule of intrastate rates is pro- portionate with those allowed by the f ederal Government for interstate traffic. Had the commission refused to issue the order it wauld have been clearly a discrimination against the interstate rates, and the Federal Government very likely would have adjusted the intrastate rates in North Carolina as was done in Illinois, Right Procedure. "The proper procedure seems to us to be," the commission's order reads, "to give authority for the eq ual increase in intrastate rates and charges and to look with continued confidence to the Interstate Com merce Commission to provide such rates for interstate transportation as will remove existing discrimination in these rates." Under the provisions of the order the increases follow: All freight transportation rates and charges, 25 per cent.; excess baggage rates, 24 per cent.; milk and cream rates car ried on passenger trains, 20 per. cent. The surcharge upon passengers in sleeping or parlor cars will be 60 per cent, of the charge for space in such cars, which is to be collected in connection with the charge for space and to accrue to the carriers. Women Notaries. The first entrance of women into politics in one way, that of holding office, since the ratification of the suffrage amendment, was carried out yesterday - with the appointment by Governor Bickett of four women no taries public. Mrs. Nolan Knight of Asheville was given the.first ap pointment by the governor. The oth er women notaries are-Miss Mattie Fliggs of Raleigh, Miss Julia Alex andcr of Charlotte and Miss Ruth Middleton of Goldsboro. Mrs. dvnights appointment was made by Governor Locke Craig in January, 1915, but the case was con tested and the Supreme Court held that the Asheville woman was inelig. ible under the North Carolina Con stitution. When prospects for the ratification of the suffrage amend ment appeared certain Mrs. Knight again made application, Governor Bickett making the appointment as soon as Secretary Colby had pro claimed women voters under the new amendment " i Bank Resources. Total increase in bank deposits in North Carolina, based on the call ofJune 30, was $131,786,087.96, a statement from the banking depart ment of the Corporation Commission says. Total bank resources, State banks, amount to $196,488,831.88; national banks, $133,936,000, a total of $330,424,8318.

The biggest thing that has happen ed to the local boys' band on its tour of the Atlantic Coast occurred Friday afternoon, when the youngsters play ed for the Athletics and Indians' game at Philadelphia by invitation of Connie Mack and as that celebrity's guest. Mack, according to a message to The Free Press from James G. Me hegan, the conductor, shook hands with each of the juvenile windjammers and presented each with balls that had been swatted over the fence by American League home run special ists, including Babe Ruth. Ten thou sand fans heard the youngsters' se lections and they were made much of by the Philadelphians, The band was installed at the Younsr Men's Christian Association building near the city hall and Broad Street station, in 'the1 heart of the business district. This afforded Rich ard Hardy, "L. L. D.," who explains that he has no degree but uses "Long legged Dick" for an alias, a vacation. Dick Hardy is the band's colored cook. He has a deep bass voice, deep ebony complexion and deep mystery about him in frying a chicken. All in all he has been a feature of the ex cursion. Uover, Del.,-and JNew xork are expected to be the last places on the band's revised itinerary. Expected Hourly Collapse of MacSweeney Near, Be lieved at London. (By the United Press) London, Aug. 28.

World Peace (By the United Press) Marion, Ohio, Aug. 28. Hope of world peace lies in "putting teeth in The Hague tribunal" and not the Lea gue of Nations, "which undoubtedly has passed beyond the possibility of restoration," Senator Harding de clared in a speech to an Indiana dele gation today. The Republican candidate came out flatly for scrapping the league, which he said has proven utterly impotent, and declared for incorporation of any of its merits in a court of internation al Justice, animated by the considera tions of right and justice instead of might and self-interest. This court, he believes, might well be supplemented by the vote of a world association for conferences. Britten Renews Charges. Chicago, Aug. 28.

The su preme court of Brazil is about to sound the.S. O. S, for more justices.

COX IS DEVOTED TO IDEALS IN KEEPING WITH BEST THOUGHT Entitled to Support of In 1 a - - r i m dependent voters, in 'Judgment of Senator Hitchcock Progressive in Spirit (By the United Prees) Washington, Aug. 28. Senator Gil bert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska was asked by a number of prominent Denv ocrats of Utah to set forth, briefly, over his signature, why he is for Gov. ernor Cox for President. In reply, henator Hitchcock set forth the fol lowing cogent reasons: "We may assume that all faithful Democrats will vote for Cox and will give Cox support for President of the United States not only because he is the unanimous selection of the Dem ocratic convention, but because his public career has shown him to be not only a devoted supporter but a brilliant leader of the party. "As a member of the House of Rep resentatives and later as three times governor of Ohio, Cox has shown him self to be a man of forte, energy, re source and indomitable character. He is a Democrat from the soles of his feet to the top of his head; a Demo crat in his evcry-day life, and a Dem ocrat in his strong Convictions, To Non-Partisans. "But Cox is entitled to have the support of many voters who do not perhaps classify themselves as Dem ocrats. He is entitled to have the support of men who believe in pro gressive ideas of government, because his whole public life has shown that he is devoted to those policies, while his opponent, -Senator Warding, is very wen recognized as not only a conserv ative, but a reactionary. It was be cause of the splendid record Governor Cox made in his first term as gover nor that he was twice thereafter elect ed governor. The record of progress ive laws passed for the benefit of the people of Ohio under his admin istration is almost without a parallel. ."Again, Governor Cox is entitled to the support not only of independent voters, but , of Republican voters as well' who want to see the t peace treaty ratified and the League of Na tions established.- His election means the ratification of the treaty and America's entrance into the League of Nations. The election of Senator Harding means that the peace treaty will not be ratified and that the United States will not enter the League of Nations. We need not in quire what reservations will be at tached to the treaty.. It is sufficient to know that such reservations will be attached as will carry out the will of the American people ' and win enough votes in the Senate to make ratification possible and that these reservations will not destroy the vi tality of the league covenant. Appeals to Independents. "There is another reason why the election of Cox should appeal to the independent voter. It is because- if elected President of the United States he will be President and exercise the powers of President given him by the Constitution find by acts of Congress. On the other hand, Senator Harding has frankly said that if elected President- the powers of government are to be under the control of the Repub lican party, which means, of course, the bosses in the Republican party who have no responsibility. There are in the United States many hun dreds of thousands of independent voters who can hardly be classified as members of any party, and they can hardly be willing to turn the Government of the United States over to an oligarchy controlled and direct ed largely by a few party bosses. The American voters when they elect a man to office desire to hold him per sonally responsible for the exercise of its powers and duties and not to have him abdicate those powers to party leaders or party caucuses. "The American people have not yet quite forgotten the time when a cer- tian former President of the United States was described as 'a large body entirely Burrounded by a group of men who knew exactly what they wanted." REMARKABLE RECORD OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION. (By the United Press) Washineton. Aue. 28. The sTovem-Cer ment under the present administration is spending more , money for good road construction in cooperation with the various states than it cost to build the Panama Canal. The result of this work has been to initiate and complete road improvements and con- struction that aggregate in length more than nine times the distance from San Francisco to New York. In 1915, the federal and state govern ments expended in all for roads and bridges $267,000,000. This year they are spending together $633,000,000. Many of the roads now being built are of the permanent kinds, such as bituminous concrete, Portland-cement concrete and vitrified brick. Roads of this type, when completed, will add 7,600 miles to national permanent highways. PRICE TWO CENTS JOSEPH KINSEY IS SUPER'D'T EMERITUS UNDER SPECIAL LAW Veteran Schoolmaster to Retire as Active Head . of Schools on Salary LONG LIFE OF "SERVICE Has Sent Thousands on thtei Journey to Success- Unique Honor for Aging Sajre ' Thousands of people in a number of states will approve the passage of a bill at the recent special session of the General Assembly authorizing the Lenoir County Board of Education to elect Joseph Kinscy to the office of "superintendent emeritus of public in struction of the County' of Lenoir." That in future will be his official ti tle. The law is unique. Professor Kinsey is probably the only person in the United States to have been hon ored in this way. Section 1 of the law provides that "Whereas, Joseph Kinsey of La Grange, Lenoir County, has rendered signal service to the State of North Carolina, both in times of peace and in war,.notabiy in war by volunteer ing, while a student at college, for service in the Confederate army, and after conspicuous bravery suffering imprisonment for many months on Johnson's Island in Lake Erie, and in the World War, furnishing a son who served continuously in France with the Ninth Engineers; and notably in peace by devoting his entire life since the Civil War to the cause of educa tion, having taught and given the in spiration for their life work to many af the distinguished citizens of the SfntA. onH in lata vriferv havincr ftf ceptably filled the position of super intendent of public instruction of the County of Lenoir;, and whereas after a long life of most conspicuous, public service in the educational life of the State, he continues to fill the posi tion of superintendent of public in struction of the County of Lenoir, a task now grown too large and bur densome for his adyancing years: Now, therefore be it enacted , that the Board of Education of the Coun ty of Lenoir be, and the said board is hereby authorized, if and when in their judgment it is desirable to elect hist juccessor,, to retain his valuable ser vices to the county and to the 'cause of education of the State, by electing Joseph Kinscy, superintendent emer itus of public instruction of the Coun ty of Xnoir, at such salary as in the judgment and discretion of the board ia r1nrnA ...uifliaMt an1 4tiaf " Sections 2 and 3 provide "TJiat all taws and clauses of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed" and "That this be enforced from ana af ter its ratification." . , . ..'..'. s , Professor J oseph. , Kinsey, .; having grown old in the service of. mankind, would request no greater honor. iHe will see his 80th milestone in the next few years. He is remarkably active, a quick thinker, walker and talker. Among those who took their inspira tion from the veteran schoolmaster is) Furnifoid M. Simmons, United States senator, who has several .times re ferred to the fact in public. Superin tendent Emeritus Kinsey will draw a salary of $100 a month. In his de clining years he finds himself well provided for though not in affluence, He has given little thought to earn ing money because he has been too busy setting countless others on the road to success. The nominal salary will make his way easier, of course. Chairman N. J. Rouse in announcing the beloved septuagenarian's "pro motion" declared Professor Kinsey would continue to be of service to the county because he would not be ablJ to "turn loose" entirely. No one imagines that Professor Kinsey will ever be able to stop work. Broad-! minded, generous, affectionate toward all, polite and religious, Joseph Kin sey is probably first of all men in the esteem of Lenoir countians. , FEEDER AND" STOCKER CATTLk WILL BE SOLD NEXT MONTH.
