When "enemies of society" return so read ily to the defense pf society, it must be admitted either that they were not really bad after ali, or that war baa a powerful reformative tenuenoy In each eases. ^ A STA'I'K'S "Kl HST CITIZEN." li lu something in-w in iii?* annaln of fame uii' ii Hu entomologist IH singled out ;i? tin- most dtstlngulffhcd ell (zen of a greul > omiiionwealth.

Tho commit tee was composed of typical Nebras kans, who arc a hard-headed, practi cal people, and who know that in that stat?- agriculture is more important than anything else, and that til? man who does tho most for the crops IH the suite's greuiest benefactor, So the ' bug hunter" won against tho writers, orator^ and ofllco holders. ' Political lame" said nmember nf th" committee, "is a bubble. We wanted a man of true and lasting distinction, based on creative achievement." It would be Impossible to estimate the millions of dollars that Prof. Pruner has saved Nebraska and other Statin and other countries. When Hie voracious chinch bug waa de stroying tho crops like an Egyptian plague, the professor searched through the Insect creation until he found a pnraslte that preyed upon the i hinch, and by Introducing lt into tho Heida bo saved the eropa that yeav and taught every body how to save thom thereafter. When the wheat crop of Argentina was being eaten up by locusts in 1888, the government sent for Pruner, anil he went there and.riaved the crop, and fought tho locusts BO effectively thnt they have never bothered tho country HIIICO. These are merely two examples of what Prof. Brtiner baa been doing for many yours. He ls credited with tho no less valuable work of training a whole generation of Nebraska youth 4n tho goBpel of modern scientific farming, and :alBlng up hundreds of men to ca-ry on his work. Public opinion nearly everywhere is likely to support such a choice. Just nfl public opinion In almost unanimous In pronouncing Thomas A. Edison tho first citizen of the United States. It ls tho creative, productive work that counts most-the work that adda to the sum ot wealth, that makes thc ne cessities and comforts of life moro easily obtainable, that lessens the amount of effort required to obtain re sults, and leaves people with more leisure and energy for the real en joyments of lire. With an efflolent prosperous people, everything in tho way of "higher development" follows as a matter of course. "ANTI-ENLISTMENT." An eastern organization calling It self tho "Anti-enlistment League" is pledging young men never, under any circumstances, to join the array or navy. It is naturally arousing a storm of criticism, which .doesn't all, by any moanB, conic from jingoes or mili tarists. It seems strange that any Ameri can, 'mowing American history and supposedly animated by American tra ditiona, could delibcistely take eitich a pledge. We are a peaceful nation, but wo bavo never been so obsessed with the Idea of peace that we were willing to swear that we would never fight under any provocation whatao ever. If such a doctrine had prevailed In 1776, there would have been no Decla ration of Independence, and no United ,Statea of America. If It had prevailed In 1812, we should have submitted tamely to Groat Britain's aggressions and bcon permanently deprived of the freedom of the sea. If It had prevailed in 1861, slavery would have continued, or the Union would have been dis* rupted-phrobably both. If our young men had been so pacific at the time ot our Spanish war, tho Cubans might still be subject to foreign butchers and tyranny. There arc two kinds ot war-ag gressive and defensive. No great na tion has over repudiated the latter. Even China does not object on princi ple to defending herself. The doc trine of turning the other cheek may work for Individuals. In a civilized so ciety, but the behavior of nations io wsrd each other ls still so barbarous that no country pledged to tame sub mission could preservo its indepen dence. ? If we ever go to war again, lt will be In honest aelf-dofense. We shall then need soldiers, not peace oraP ins. Any man who disqualifies himself now from doing his duty In ewen a time of need is doing a shameful and un patriotic thing. What we need la men willing and eager to ?.allst-and just as easer to preserve peace after en ltstmt . . BROWN SWEET* FOB BK?WN BROTH ERM.

Chocolate is the best and must harmless "pick-up" known to a stimu lant-loving world. Somehow that car go of randy gives ono u new respect for the Filipino as well as a sort of brotherly feeling-or should one say bisterly?-for the little browfi lovers of America's favorite little brown sweet?.

"Have Women Com? to Stay?" is the caption placed by a New York editorial writer over a discussion of the entrance of women into Russian munition factories and their unex pected efficiency there.

It ls suggsted that if Germany per sists 4n refusing to make amends for murdering the Americans on the Lus itania, and deliberately drlevs us to extreme measures, there ls a simple and easy way of forcing reparation.

I A LINE I o', DOPE i_._JA . Mr. J. P. Timms, formerly of this county but now residing near Hard mont, Ga., was a business visitor in the city yesterday. He came over for the purpose of purchasing a gasoline engine and a wood saw from the Anderson Machine and Foundry com pany, intendtn gto use this equipment in the sawing of wood for market.

He has already Bold a quantity of poaches or other varieties, and some of them are as fine as any any ever seen about here. Rut it ls his Elberta peaches ,that tickle the ey,> and, incidentally, the palate, of the lover of good '"ult like this. There ?re n number of other fine peach growers In Anderson, and all of them have fine crops this year. o Aoting Private A. R. Jaynes of the city police force has a house full of company this week, Mr. abd Mrs. J. W. Jenkins and Miss Etta and Mr. i Dewitt Jenkins, all of Atlanta, being his guests.

"My house Is located out there on a hill." he told a reporter for The Intelli gencer yesterday, "and If there is a br?ese stirring anywhere I am sur to get lt.

Graves Knight, of Gran Itevllle, who ls a trustee of the Ander son College, Mrs. Knight, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Owlngs and their two daughters and sons, of laurens, were visitors In the- city yesterday.

Mr. Knight, being a trustee of the Insti tution, was of course, also Intercalen In looking over the college property. The party motored through the coun try from Laurens. All are well and favorably known ia Anderson, and during their stay here were greeted by a number ot their friends and ac quaintances. -o ' Pour thousand bushels sounds like a whole lots of anything that la rueas ii red according lo tills -standard, but wheu lt cornea to oat? raised on a farm not a thousand miles from here it ls reully a whole lot. Getting down to the bono of tb? matter, a visitor In the city yesterday from Hi:ardmunt. Ga., stated that Sam Orr, an Auder? son boy w'ho ls farming near lleard mont, will harvest something like 4, OO't bushels of oats ibis year. Tho visitor stated faa' Mr. Orr has al ready harvested lils wheat, ami bad a vast un at: ?it y of it, which waa as fine as any he had ever seen. Incidental ly, he stated that Mr Orr had one or tho finest farms to be seen in that part of the country and all of lila crops are looking bully. The I II ion Gospel Missionary Work era is the name of band of strangers who are holding services about thc streets Just now. One ?if the bann yesterday handed The Intelligencer a statement reading us follows: Kev. George H. Messenger, our district superintendent of the I nion Gospel of Missionary Workers, has opened an office at No. Ill South McDuftle street. We will hold gospel meetings in all parts of the city.
