It han occurred to The Intelligen cer that ttii? might be an opportune tlin*' lr> broach tho subject of com munity playgroundH for th?' city ?>r Anderson, Inasmuch as the public generally, and particularly the chil dren, have learned probably mon' about th?? matter during the past week than they ever knew before, this being ?lu?' lo the foci that an expert tn Buch work who accompanies th?1 chautauqua III? beni doing work of this nature among the children of the city. It would seem to be further desir able to Inaugurate tho work soon af ler the " losing of the city schools, ar, tlw lawns about these building!! would afford excellent siten for the netting up of necessary playground paraphernalia and places where In struction to d?nnen could be given by leaders In the work. lt la believed that no difficulty w ..Jd be experienced In getting per mission of the authorities t<( une the public school InwiiH and the college camplin for thin work, an the schools will be cloned for the Hummer vaca tion and the grounds will Ho Idle for Beveral mon tim. No one who han noted the work done by the expert hero In connec tion with tito chautauqua and observ ed the spirit with which tho children entered Into il can question tho good that would accure from the courue of instruction and amusement for the children of tho city being continued. The Idea of the school groundu and tho college camplin being utilized In connection with thin work strikes The Intelligencer as excellent, for the reason that these locations are HO well ?list ri ! mt'"l over the city. The big difficulty or locations for play grounds is already solved In an ar rangement of this kind. THE PLODDER. Have you ever noticed how few j "Bmarf* people amount to anything? The "slick" Individuals you meet they do not soem to get anywhere. Thc- fakera aro the "Bmartcst" people on earth, but you have never known one to get very far on the road to success. Take the "Bmart" girl. She seems to know everything on earth. She drc88CB a little louder thnn other girls. She always manages to wear something that ls ..chic." She has the boys hanging around her in groups. She talki, in terms that tho plainer girl cannot understand; but later on in lifo Bhe will be found putting up a lei rifle fight against time while tho girl who waa not nearly no smart Is I ?, spying a position of dignity and Joy at the head of n sennlhlo home. And an for the smart boy-the one who "gets by" In a manner the other boys cannot understand, and who may for tho time being be- envied by the other boya because of bis foppish manners-he doesn't become the bead of a prosperous business. It ls the plodder that seems to get there in the end-the boy who doesn't "catch on" quite BO rapidly aa thc smart boy. Probably not 1 por cent or 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 "oxceptional" youngster in school seldom conquers after ho has entered real life; but the plain fellow of common sense, slow to learn, slow to become en thused, slow to make companions and slow to give them up?-the fellow who sticks io a job until it ls finished, that ls the fellow who In after life rules and regulates tho affairs of this little green ball. MODERN COURAGE. Mas the alleviation of pain and more comfortable living of the pres ent age made people soft, as so many assort? Small pains are not home H& easily as formerly. A previous generation thought little of having teeth out, without an anesthetic. The story is told of an old timer, who having a sore toot that bothered him. went ont to the barn one day and chopped ono toe off wltli a hatchet. Nowadays most people take gas and e ber to have teeth out. and dread the commonplace experience ot having teeth filled. The superb covrage shown In the European war suggests that when lt comes to a pinch, human nature is much as lt waa in the heroic days of chivalry. The soldiers march on, line after line, to organised death. The bravery of American soldier boya un der tba murderous fire of snipers at Vera Grus told the same ?tory. There ls today a growing sensitiveness to pain and alarm at danger. But also tn a reined and fear ot ridicule. Per haps 11%? does not look good to the soldier, if he mutt gain it only by wearing the pale badge of cowardice. (New York World.) President Wilson's note to the Herman government cannot fail to Bat ir fy thc highest expectations ol the American people. lt in calm, lt ls restrained, lt is courtcoua, but with a cold, cut ting courtesy thal gives added emphasis to every word. There can he no mistake whatever as to ?lie Intentions and purposes of thc American government. There can !??. no question ot its determination not lo "omit any word or act necessary to the performance of its sacred duty of main taining the rights ol Hie United ?stales and of its citizens, und ol safe guarding their free exercise and enjoyment." Grounding his thesis lu the Kataba case, the rushing case, the Gul fllght case and til?' Lusitania massacre, the president, in re emphasizing the doctrine of "strict accountability." drives straight to the heart of tin- whole issue of submarine warfare against merchantmen, AU the tis sue of sophistry built up by German diplomacy and German publicists ls swept aside. The American government plants itself firmly on the prin ciple that where the submarine cannot accomplish its object without lawlessly involving the Uro? of non-combatants or the safely of neutral ships, lt ls the submarine thai must yield to international law, not inter national law that must yield lo the submarine. For the specific outrages against the United States ot which tho presi dent complains, he properly asks that the German government will not only disavow the ads in question, but that it will "make so far as repara tion is possible for Injuries which are without measure," and that ? will "take Immediate steps to prevent thc recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the principles of warfare" for which Germany in the pas? has contended. Beyond all this, however, is the plain determi nation or the president to re-establish international law on the high sias, and this without compromise. This In the motif that runs through every paragraph of his note. This IM lite principle, the thought and Ihr purpose that animale it. livery thing the president lias to say about the submarine policy of the Ger man government, which ls responsible for the acts for which thc United States holds it to a "strict accountability," comes back to this matter of the "practical impossibility or employing submarines In the destruction ot neutral commerce without disregarding those rules ot rainless, reason. Justice and humanity which al modern opinion regards as imperative." "Expressions or regret and offers or reparation in cases or the destruction ot neutral ships sunk by mistake, while they may satisfy international obligatio!.s. ir no loss of lire results, cannot justify or excuse a practice the neutral nnd necessary effects of which are to subject neutral nations and neutral persons to new and immeasurable risks." Wliai tile president demands from Germany is not only just and prompt action, but "enlightened action," and enlightened action means tho restoration of international law on the high sena. We have been grievously wronger by Germany. By whi'nver malign influence that great empire IB now controlled, every consideration ot Holfrospoct and every regard that wc must cherish tor a people hereto fore friendly have commanded us to think and speak bet?re acting. In the sober restraint or thc president and in the measured words with which he has stated the American case, we cannot tall to find assurance an to tho rectitude or our own position and hope ot an awakened con science in a nation that ought not to be our foe. There ls not another government more skilled in the art of making war or avoiding war than that ot Germany. It knows how to pick a quarrel; how to put thc offense upon Its adversary; how to improve oc casions; how to justiry aggression; how to assume the role that be'ongs only to Innocence. It knows also how to abandon a false ur 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 ot its policy toward neutral ships, lt IB 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 tho lives of neutrals and non-combat ants even when they are round on onemy shlpB. Somebody in Germany has undertaken to devote that nation to out lawry. Whoever he may bc. he has overplayed his part, and to some extent has has been checked already. At least one crime that was boasted or IB 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, it will bc under the scrutiny ot civilization as never bet?re, and we believe that lt appreciates the tact. By tho strength of hla case and the moderation of his tone, the presi dent han made it aa eaBy for Germany to do right as to do wrong. If he IB to fail In hlB effort, lt will bc In good conscience and In a good cause. On this issue the president, sustained by tho unanimous voice of tho greatest and moBt powerful of neutral nations, can say. in tht wordB of Martin Luther: "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise.

If Dr. Bernhard Dernburg 'is in this eountry in uny sort of official capacity, his early departure should he a matter of a brief formality. If he is here merely as an alien without special standing, he should realize by this time that he han long overstay ed his welcome and take his leave without further delay. By his own statement Dr. Dern burg's visit to the United States is made unofficially, but at times he raise;-, doubts as to his exact relation ship to thc kaiser's government. Am bassador Bernstorff should make clear precisely what ls Dr. Dcrnburg's sta tus. Who and what is he? What cre dentials docs he hold? If none, why ls he here? In whosn employ is ho? Is Dr. Dernburg in thc United States to say and do things that the Ger man ambassador at Washington dare not father? He has systematically carried on a press campaign in hostili ty to American sentiment. In speech itnd writing he has reflected offen sively upon the views and conduct of Americans and their government, and taken little nains to conceal his. ef forts to incite feeling against the ad ministration Ambassador Bernstorff would have been sent home if he had presumed to do only a small part of what Dr. Dernburg has done.
