CONSERVATION FIIWT Congressmen Interested in conser vation are making au urgent effort to Blido their measures in ahead of tho national defense program. They are not necessarily indifferent to tho need of armament, but are actuated by the conviction that, when the de fense debate Ia once launched, con servation will have no show. There ls nothing particularly new In the measures, with the exception of tho rural credits bill now being whipped Into shape. Tho homeetoad and water power bills and the lcaBlng bill for coal, oil and gas lands, are substantially thu same as thoso pre sented In 1913. The water power act ls almost identical with tho ono that passed the' house last spring. These measures, and others allied with them, are part of the program outlined repeatedly by Secretary Lane, and aro of vital Interest to the w?st. The whole country will prob ably support. the effort to 'J-'vs the?j through congress as speedily as pos sible. , They do not conflict with the pre paredness program In any respect ex cept that thoy will distract a little intceet from lt until they are out of thc.way. They do not require a money outlay large enough to intcrfero se riously with adequate armament. And as Secretary Lane baa pointed out, .they really harmonize wltb a broad system of. defense, bbcauso they will help to develop and render available tho natural resources which, niter the people themselves, aro the nn tl?b's. greatest bulwark. ' THE PEACE.TRIP AN!? THE PRESS i Tho .bent thing we've seen? emanat ing from tho Ford peace expedition Is tho "confession ot faith" drawn up at^Christianla by tho American news paper correspondents who went along. Hero's on extract from ll1. "Wo'ro cynical, perhaps. We've Boori enough to make, us so. Wo've boon through enough of many-angled life to ingrain that attitudo through our personalities. Some of us doubt less entered upon this expedition tainted with the spirit of Jesi, look ing upon it aa a foolish exploit of an ultra-rich idealist, : .. "With thc passing of each league of sea, feeling 1ms -diminished. Wp rea llae that .this is a serious undertak ing, from which good must, inevitably corite, oven if the highest hopea of Its projectors moy not bo f?lfilled. . ''Does,thtsitnako clear our attitude' Wo hope so. Wo are not here as avowed penco advocates, poach work ors, ldcallata, Or theorists. , We're simply, men and women workers on pur inls. .... "Wo wiah Henry Ford and his a?so clutea ali success. Wo con best cou Uib?to, toward that perhaps by-"fol lowing the religion of^ a lamented modorn philosopher; .'Do your work as well as you cart and be kind."*, ? That represents pretty well tho at titudo of tho whole! American- press.. ENTERPRISE A middle-western;.boy, whoso fam ily moved to Ne,-?York, found his environment intolerably circumscrib ed.- : There was no placo to piayt Wprso than that, the youngsters in his neighborhood didn't seom to know how to play.. Ho decided tc do some missionary.,workv< Near tho apartment honse wh?rr .he lived there waa a vacant lot tbatlivas obviously Intended for baseball, ul though it happened'to bo badly llt tv??-d with-;?*pn'es.- The'- -"ire-vr" .boy. tried to porcuodo tho other lads tc clean np the lot, hut they were not interested. -They couldn't see the ad vantage of going to alt that trouble just to b* iles, they ii?d eleriii^ cri ' u?) the whole yard. Then ;?3te aohemer came'in, laid out a tllamond arid prgtfh?ed a bali gamo, r - ? Thia, is s true story. It ia also a parable. That ; westeru. bpy reprpseats thp yoting men. who ;gb,to N?w York from ali sections' of the country, and mike good-and hy pouring rresh blood into the old metropolis keep it ft that'll't?. / ' j , \'. ^Tbe"'tfplit^ cruise''-apejtii^Sprhriyp been written by *ho editor, of tho Oldens Tega (th* i:Sigtt'pt- tb??T^Wy.fia ?hri?tl.inla, ? ihm: . ?I ?'- ^i'M -!A?^>tho . knowledge to Ford's greatest SBset ht a likable per sonality. Ho doesn't lack culture, but a world-wide education." Tho Verdens Gang (thc Way ot thc World) put the same idea moro blunt ly: "Ford ls helpless as a child in at tempting an expedition of this sort, on account of his lack of knowledge of the conditions in Europe." Nobody herc or ubroad has serious ly questioned Mr. Ford'o good inten tions. But it hno hceu obvious from the first that lie was not cut out to lead a peace movement in a world war of such vastness and complexity. Even If tho moment had been auspic ious for peace-and it wasn't-the Detroit manufacturer was hardly thc mau to "put lt over." "I am a' mechanic who happens to have made money," Mr. Ford once ?hld modestly in a newspaper Inter view. A mechanic of warm heart, liberal hand and high ideals, but still a mechanic. And if ever a situation culled for a great diplomat, familiar with ail the history of Europe, the personalities of its rulers, tho preju dice? of its peoples and the prece dents o? its diplomacy, this situation does. It's a Job for a ' superstates man. A LINE o' DOPE Weather Forocast-^-Haln Wednes day, colder by night; Thursday fair and colder. ? -o i.Mr. Jae. N. Pearman, clerk of court, han received a very clever picture of President WHBO? from his brother in-law, Mr. B. T. Bagwell of Gre?n vllio. Tho likeness of tire president is woven in a piece of cloth, which was made during tho* big textile meet ing in Greenville last fall. Tho pic ture is a good ono, and shows very cloverly what the looms can do . these days. . News was received In tho city yes terday of the death of Mr. Lamar Cllnkecale?,. which occurred at his home one milo this side Of Abbeville at 7 o'clock. He waa the son of tho late Louis OllnkBcales and was about GO years of age. '? Ho has a number of relatives living in this city. Many peoplo in Anderson will bo Interested ih the 'news ! of the death of John Goldsmith, who committed suicide tn a sanitorium in \ North Carolina on last.Friday.' Goldsmith, it will be remembered, iUved in Anderson during the spring and . early summer and was , pianist at tho Bijou theatre. In addition to this work; he was tho proprietor of a pressing club over the theatre. Ho wac a young man about 27 yearB old and made many friends while s-. resi dent here. The cause torilla rash act is unknown. Many Anderson people will go to Seneca tonight to attend a dance which In to bo given there. Mr. Sloan Driscoll will furnish the music, be ing assisted by Messrs. Chas, V/ebb, Bobbie Webb, O. B. Bogga and one or two others. This Bame orchestra furnished the rouBlc for the dance at Rose Hill on Monday night, and it is said to havo beep exceliint Much iuteroBt ia being ehown In in? masquerade bail - which 18 to hu given in the .dining/ room ot tho Hotel .CHiquoia: on: Thursday ovening.

Gnco upon a time, .the dantes at the Hotel Ch i quoi a w?fo looked, forward to by people ail . over Anfersen coun ty.
