As a result of this cam paign they hope to have 10.000 mem bers in their savings club. Quite a number of applications have already been received for membership on tho . opening day. Thc idea of Inducing every salaried man and every child td save a part of the money that pasncH through their hii"<ts is a good one. There ls enough money wasted In Anderson county, which if It were put In the local banks, would be BUfllciont to supply thc needs of the county without tho necoBSlty of ever borrowing from northern institutions. In this connection it might bo well to call attention to the fact that HtatlEtlcs show that while thc Incomes of thc citizens of tlio United .States arc larger than the Incomes of tho citizens of any nation, yet it stands ir.th. per capita, as o savings nation. Switzerland iieads the Hst, there be ing fiOo out of every 1,000 inhabi tants who have savings accounts, while In thc United States only 10? j out of every 1,000 have savings ac counts. The financial strength of tho United States doo3 not consist of a few wealthy Individuals, hut: of the smt.il f-avings of the rank and tile of the population. Any plan or system that will old the Citizens to save Is worthy of commendation. WHY FORD FAILS The reason why. tho Ford peace ex pedition -to Europe lu almost certain to fall ls that poaco at this timo would bo a false peace. It would bo a thing of patches, a mero armed truce de ciding nothing and providing a mero period of recuperation nftor which tho nations would bo at each others' throats again. . i '. What Henry Ford and so mmy Other weillntending pacifists fall tc understand is that tho war is not an nimloss Kilkenny riot, nor an in ternational battlo-royal for a material prize; but that Europe is fighting for principles. And thero can bo no durable and satisfying peace until , tho issue is determined ons way or I thc other, by dint of blood nnd treas uro, so decisively that it will not have to como to arbitrament again. The issue ls as clear in Europe as ours was in our Civil war. Then wo seftfod jfor jgood the question whether slavery should continue to exist in j America. Europe, we trustf if . lot ?alone, will, settle for good the qucB I Uon whether nations may still go forth and take what they want from 1 their nelirhbori? ! hv forf.*?. or ' i?beihe? I - " "* ---s j there shall be no conquest except by peaceful methods, tn honest compet? tlon? ' ' It has bpen said that this is a war of autocracy against democracy. And so. it (s, in . a, way. That ls to say. there is moro autocracy on ono side, 1 and moro democracy on tho other. I Dut the big. dominant question Is .??inply this-whether a nation, any moro than un Individual, may arm to. the teoth and go out and "shoot up" a civilized community and take and keep whatever real estate and person alty it happens tc want., . i And if tho war ls allowed to run Ito courso, Europe will pi ahably I emerge ablo to llvo an orderly, clvl ' Hr.cd existence hereafter, without any outlawry or gun-toting. DROPPING A PUNCTUATION MARK Tho action of Milwaukee newspa pers in dropping tho hyphen in "Qer man-Amorican," and printing .it "Ger man American," la a otep in1 the right direction, and aa such will win the 'approval ot all good citizens*regard less of their, racial antecedents. But in itself, such a typograpical chango means little, It would bo un fortunate it a thing oo-superficial and accidental as a 'punctuation mar'.!: were mistake for the real issuo. It matters little whether any com-, , binntton of racial names IS printed .with the hyphen or without it, so i long os tho'combination persists, In , ?nest languages no such punctuation nYafk ls used, but when two proper nanice br adjectives are- joined Ui?y jare" run together as> one .word. Itv. really , all the, same rbeth?r the dual title? is made that way", or viitb tho : hyphen, or by .using th?. two' terms as separate words. American practice, tends moro and more, anyhow, to omit j the .hyphens lb word-cofablnntlons. ; The essential thing Is the dual idea ? represented by the worda themselves. Abd , opinion ls swinging more andi more *o the view that l ie dual y. bf," Jleglauce ot which the hyphen ls mare? .Air': ? casual symbol must psss alt?* j ?ether.; from our national \\io. j lt cannot do so, of course, until it passes from our citizens' hearts. That | lu a slow and painful process, lt may lie many years before the how Idea] iii fully accepted. America has .no long tolerated and oven encouraged tho hyphen that it ls no wonder citizens of alien birth have found il hard to grasp the new situa tion and shift, all at once, from their equivocal position. Our politicians our orators have heretofore fostered alien race pride. They appealed frankly to the "German-American vote," the "Italian-American , vote,"? the '"SwcdiBh-Amorlcan vote," cte The same citizens who have so I long flattered und courted as groups ure nov/ told that their groups must dissolve. And so tiley must, if tho | new und perilous, lines of cleavage in our citizenship are to be closed up and national unity re-established. Our hyphenated citizens, then, oil all classes, are not to be condemned for a certain indignant surprise that the thing that they formerly found a mnrk of honor ls now suddenly be-1 come unathema. Hut they should rec ognize, nevertheless, that the issue is! clearly drawn, that for tho sake of a higher Americanism the hyphen tnust| be thrown Into the national melting pot, nnd must disappear not only j from the written symbols of national Kilty but from the hearts of all our citizens. And our newer Americans are recognizing it, and acquiescing moro and more willingly as they come to understand that thc fate of I tho notion Is involved-und therefore tho- fate of their own children. Even thc citizen of strongest allen tics or prejudices doesn't like to think of hlB Bon or grandson being, born into a hyphenated fatherland. FIFTY CENTS A DAY "I agreo with President Wilson In many of his recommendations for tho national defense," says cx-Presldcnt Taft, "but ? dp not see how ws can ralBc the 80,000 men that he wants. A soldier gets but $15 a month, and with men earning that much a week and moro, you BOO how hard lt will bo to get that 80,000 without con scription." That's a problem that most of the advocating an army increase ' don't seem to glvo any thought to. Our| present army, small as it 13, has had no ond of trouble in trying to recruit enough men to make up Ita full com plement. It ?6 invariably smaller in J reality than on paper, and so is tho navy. Even thc added interest in military matters aroused hy tho pres cnt war has not sufficed to fill up tho gaps. ?, ' How viii lt be, then, when congress passes bill? calling for an incroase of tens of thousands in tho regular army and navy, not to mention thc hundreds of thousands expected io volunteer as a citizen reserve? Patriotism may work a change hero as it has. in England,, and swell the enlistments. But will it take as great abd. lmraln.)nt peril to bring out our volunteers as it has taken In Eng land? Theodoro Roosevelt bbllovos that conscription ls the onlyway. If we're to *.:ave a much larger army, wo may come, sooner or later, .to a choice be tween higher pay and some form ot conscription-tho Swiss system, for example, which makes all citizens submit to training at regular inter vals, but doesn't take up much of their time. .Weather Forecast-Fair (Sunday, in east portion; Monday fair.
