WHY NOT NOW I If has occurred to Tilt' Intelligen cer that this might bc un opportune lime tu broach the subject of com munity playgrounds for the city of Anderson, iuusmuch au the public generally, mid particularly the chil dren, have learned probubly more about the matter during tin- pust week than they ever knew before, this being due to the fact that un expert in HUCII work who accompanies the Chautauqua has been doing work of this nature among the children of the city. It would seem to be further desir able tn iuuugurute the work soon af ter the closing of the city school*. UM the lawns about those buildings would afford excellent Bites for the setting up of necessary playground paraphernalia and places where In struction to classes could be given by leaders in the work. It is believed flint no difficulty would he experienced In getting per mission of the authorities to use the public school lawns and the collage campus for this work, us the schools will be closed for the summer vaca tion and the grounds will lie Idle for several months. No one who has noted the work done by the expert here in connec tion with the chautauqua and observ ed the spirit with which the children entered Into lt can question the good that would secure from the course of instruction and amusement for the children of the city being continued. The idea of the school grounds and the college campus being utilized in connection with this work strikes The Intelligencer as excellent, for tho reason that these location:; ure so well distributed over the city. The Dig difficulty of locations for play grounds ls already solved in an ar rangement of this kind. THE PLODDFK. Have you ever noticed how few "smart" people amount to anything? The "Blick" individuals you meet they do not seem to get anywhere. The fakers are the "smartest" people on earth, but you have never known one to get very far on the road to success. Take the "smart" girl. She seem? to know everything on earth. She dresses a little ouder thau other girls. She always manages to wear something that Is "chic." She has the boys hanging around her In groups. She talks in terms that the plainer girl cannot understand; but later on in llrj she will be found putting up a terrine fight against time while the girl who was not nearly so smart IB occupying u position of dignity and joy at the head of a sensible home. And OB fo. the smart boy-the one who "getB by" in a manner the other boys cannot understand, and who may for the time being be envied by the other hoys because of his foppish manners-he doesn't become the head of a prosperous business. It 1B the plodder that seems to get there In the end-the boy who doesn't "catch on" quite BO rapidly as the smart boy. Probably not 1 per cent o? the suc cessful men In the world today gave any evidence of having great ability when they were kids." The prodigies do not make good. The "exceptional" youngster in school seldom conquers after he has entered real life; but the plain fellow of common sense, slow to learn, slow to become en thused, slow to make companions sud slow to give them upv-the fellow who sticka to a Job until it is finished, that ls the fellow who in after life rules and regulates the affairs of this little green mil. MODERN COI HAGE. Has the alleviation ot pain and more comfortable living ot the pres ent age made people soft, aa so many assert? Small rains are not borne as eaelly as formerly. A previous generation thought little of having' teeth out. without an anesthetic. The atory ls told ot an old timer, who having s sore foot thst bothered him. went out to tho barn one day and chopped one toe off with a hatchet. Nowadays moat people take gas and ether to have teeth out. and dread the commonplace experience of having teeth filled. The superb courage shown in the European war suggests that when It comes to a pinch, human nature ls much as lt was In the heroic days ot chivalry. The soldiers march on, Hue after line, to organised death. The bravery ot American soldier boys un der tbs murderous Are ot snipers st Vera Crus told the same story. There la today a growing sensitiveness to pain and alarm nt danger. Bot also In a refined'and fear of ridicule. Per haps life does not look good to tbs soldier, if he mast ga'.n lt only by wearing the pale badge of cowardice. (New York World.) President Wilson's note to the German government cannot fail to sat isfy the highest expectations ol the American people. li 1? cain). It ls restrained. It is courteous, but wltb a cold, cut ting courtesy that gives added emphasis to every word. There ?'ai be no mistake whatever as to the intentions and purposes of the American government. There can be no question of its determination not to '"omit any word or act necessary to the performance of Its sucred duty of main taining the rights of the United States and of Its citizens, and ol safe guarding their free exercise and enjoyment." Grounding his thesis lu the Kalaba case, the t ushing case, the Oul fllght ? ase and the Lusitania massacre, thc president. In re-emphasizing the doctrine nf "strict accountability," drives straight to the heart of the whole Issue of submarine warfare against merchantmen. All the tis sue nf sophistry built up hy German diplomacy and German publicists is swept aside. The American government plants itself firmly on the prin ciple that where the submarine cannot accomplish Its ob.Vet without lawlessly luvolving the lives of non-combatuntu or the safety of neutral ships, lt IB the submarine that must yield to international law. not inter national law? that must yield to the submurine. For the specille outrages against the United States of which the presi dent complains, he properly asks that the German government will not only disavow the act? in question, but mat lt wlil "make so far as repara tion ls possible for Injuries which are without measure." and that lt will "tuke immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the principles of warfare" for which Germany lu the past hus contended. Beyond all t:.i> , however, is the plain determi nation of the president to re-establlsl. international law on the high seas, and this without compromise. This is the motif that runs through every paragraph of his note. This Is the principle, the thought and the purpose that animate it. Every thing the president has to say about the submarine policy of the Ger mun government, which Is responsible for the acts for which the United States holds lt to a "strict accountability." comes back to this matter of the "practical Impossibility of employing submarines In the destruction of neutral commerce without disregarding those rules of fairness, reason, justice and humanity which al modern opinion regards as Imperative." "Expressions of regret and offers of reparation In cases of the destruction of neutral ships sunk by mistake, while they i .ay sutisfy International obliga.'ons. if no loss of life results, cannot justify or excuse a practice the neutral and necessary effects of which are to subject ueutral nations and neutral persons to new and Immeasurable, risks." What the president demands from Germany ls not only JuBt and prompt ac-Hon. but "enlightened action." and enlightened action means the restoration of International law on the high seas. * We have been grievously wronger by Germany. By whatever malign Inlluencc that great empire Is now controlled, every consideration of selfrespect and every regard that we must cherish for a people hereto fore friendly have commanded us to think and speak before acting. In the sober restraint of tho president and In the measured words with which he has stated the American case, we cannot fail to find assurance as tn the rectitude of our own position and hope of an awakened con-< science in a nation that ought not to be our foo. There Is not another government more skilled in the art of making war or avoiding war than that of Germany. It knows how to pick a quarrel; how to put the offense upon Its adversary; how to Improve oc casions; how to Justify aggression; how to assume the role that belongs only to Innocence. It knows also how to abandon a false or dangerous contention; how to yield quickly If not gracefully. A nation that can go halfway in correcting a wrong may be expected to go all the way. If Germany is able without special pressure to admit the error of Its policy toward neutral ships, it is not unreasonable to sup pose that on due reflection, stimulated by vigorous and truthful represen tations Buch as appear in the American note, it may also recognize the fact that lt has no right to destroy the lives of neutrals and non-combat ants even when ?bey are found on enemy ships. Somebody in Oermany has undertaken to devote that nation to out lawry. Whoevf he may be, he has overplayed his part, and to some extent has has been checked already. At least one crime that was bousted of Is now under review. If a policy boldly proclaimed one day ls on the next repudiated there may easily be hope of further progress. While the government at Berlin is formulating its answer to the Ameri can note, lt will be under the scrutiny of civilization as never before, and we believe that it appreciates the fact. By the strength - of his case and the moderation of his tone, the presi dent has made it as easy for Germany to do right as to do wrong. If he is to fall In his effort, it will be in good conscience and In a gocO cause. On this IsBue the president, sustained by the unanimous vo> a of the greatest and most powerful of neutral nations, can say, in the words of Martin Luther: "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me." 4> + + 4 * * * * + ? 4 + + + .> * WIT AND HUMOR. + * ? ? * *?. *?* Ignores the Colonel. It looks to us us if Col.
