Whoso loveth Instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutluh. Proverbs 12:1. That was indeed a live bunch of Kinstoniana that mi grated to Norfolk for the Rotary convention and they will do much to advertise Kins ton. It's a good thing for a city to have citizens who give time to those organiza tions, whkh meet periodically and bring together folks from different sections. Such representation not only helps to keep Kinston on the mental map of those from other sections, but the exchange of Ideas and good fellow ship is conducive to progress and helps to drive 'away the stateness. in to scorn are far more interested in the welfare of those who are arrayed against them through the ppeals to prejudice than are those who make the appeals. Intelligent people of every section and loyal citizens of Kinston should tunK deaf ear to all such attempt and decline to listen to such speeches, which have no possi bility of good imthem. A UNITED COMMUNITY NEEDED. The Free Press w as impressed with a comment made a few days ao by a good citizen, a comparatively new comer, who is deeply interested in the progress of the community. He said, "Kinston is too small for sectional ism to creep in." The people here of every section of the town should feet as one and join hands for the mutual uplift and growth. It is unfortunate that some sectional prejudice exists In Kinston. It's a condition, The Tree Press belie ve-s, that has come about through the agitation of certain so-called political leaders and aspirants. It is unquestionably true that in the past 10 or 12 years from time to time such leaders have undertaken to array one section of the city against another. ; Practically every municipal campaign ha developed to a more or leas degree such demagoguery, It's a lamentable state of, affairs to contemplate, for the interests of Kinston ere one. Its material progress and prosperity affect everybody In it mora or less directly and it is wrong in the extreme for such agitation to be made. ' It is well enough to keep in mind that those who have fanned the flames of sectional prejudice, have had an "axe to grind;" generally the advancement of their own political ambitions; certainly, some selfish purpose has been the impelling motive and no aincere concern for the welfare or knefit of the people who have been most sus ceptible to their doctrines. In fact, the very class who are frequently denounced by such agitators and held up PRESIDENT HARDING'S MESSAGE. The League of Nations, with or without reservations, is dead; that is, if any definite construction can be put up on that portion of President Harding's initial message to Congress which deals with international questions. ' 7 The President's message ie approved by the Republicans in both branches of Congress; at least, they give ex pression to such sentiments. Mild reservationists and irreconcilibles alike join in applauding the message. The Democrats, with possibly one exception, express disap pointment and profess not to knew exactly what the Pres ident is hitting at. As The Free Press sees it, Mr. Hard ing's idea is to reject flatly the League of Nations section of the Versailles treaty, which imposes obligations and grave responsibility upon signatory powers. lie would retain, if possible, the other sections of the Versailles treaty and preserve to the United States all the benefits accruing from the treaty and then he would -approve a separate peace with the Central Powers.; It may be pos sible to carry out the President's wishes, but just how Congress is going to proceed to do so, is certainly not I clear. The President's international policy is now as, Vague and uncertain as it has been 'since his nominations The country rather expected, The Free Press believes, him to outline a definite, constructive policy, including a specific substitute for the League of Nations. But it was not forthcoming.- And just what definite hope or plan for the proposed association of nations, which has been repeatedly referred to by President Harding In his public utterances, is being entertained, is uncertain and as much of an un known quantity now as it was in the beginning. The balance of the President's message seems to have Keen but a reiteration of time-honored Republican policies, including protective tariff. KEEP MOVING A WISE POLICY. . In apito of depressed conditions .prevailing in business and industrial circles generally in North Carolina, its com munities ire progressively going ahead with public im provement. In fact, North Carolina has a splendid repu tation in o'ther sections of the country for progress in such work. The editor of The Free Press, when visiting some old friimds in Alabama a few eeks ago, was grati fied to hear some of them who were' in the pipe manufac turing Business speax so nigniy oi JNortn Carolina as a market. "You certainly believe in public improvements," ne of them said. There are tiroes when curtailment is in order, but con ditions rarely ever warrant a complete cessation of build- ' i ing and extension operations; for when such happens, there is unquestionably stagnation, Kinston, right now, Is suffering from inadequate school facilities because the war interfered with the normal building program and con- dilions since hate not been inviting for a resumption, Likewise other constructive enterprises are way behind and it will be art exceedingly difficult "matter to catch up everything when building begins in earnest again. u s a wise policy, ine f ree rieas believes, lor a com munity to see to it ttat its public improvements keep etep with the needs.
