'~'r 1 * WITHHOLDING JUDGMENT. r \ ? \ In all probability President Wil- i ^ son has had more critical matters to deal with fhu? any of our presidents v with the possibfe exception of Wash- j t ington and Lincoln. In the many c Tuattnrs thni bni'li fnHnoil Iinnn . him during ins administration, one > j, ? of the most serious and far-reaching, ^ ip the relation of this country to tliei great powers now engaged in thojj world-wide war. He counsels ab- ? i IJ solute neutralit> on the part of our f people. In a, recent speech before T the annual conference of the Marylund Methodist Protestant Church, c in session at Washington, he coun- >_ soled the withholding of judgment e upon the course of the nations now s engaged in war. On this subject he t said in part: ^ "It would be impossible for men j to go through what men are going ' through on the battlefields of Europe and struggle if it were not that ' they saw, or thought they saw, the ? broadening of light where the morn- ? ing should come up, and believed that they were standing each on his side of the contest for some eternal principle of right. "Then all about them, all about us. there sits the silent waiting tribunal which is going to utter ultimate judgment, upon this struggle, tho great, tribunal of the opinion of the world, and I fancy I see I hope thr t I see, I prr.y that :t may be that I do trulv see. great spiritual forces ly'ng waiting for th4 outcome of this thing to ass rt them elver, and assorting themselves even now, to enlighten o'T judgment '. id steady our spirts. No r.inn is wise enough to | nronounco Judgment, but we can nil ; hold our spirits in readiness to no-' ccpt the truth when it dawns on us I 1- 1,1 ,-V ?1 in oilfpomcl run is ruvcmcu . , ,au of this titnnic sirrrplo.

The trees, the flowers, j blue skies and gentle winds proclaim that spring has come at last. After a winter of unusually trying weather, we may now enjoy a glad, bright springtime of warmth and sunshine. Following a financial de- 1 pression as unprecedented as the adverse weather conditions which accompanied it. have come an awakening in business and fair weather. The change makes us all feel better, it inspires us to renew our efforts in civic work, to plant flowers, trees md gardens. Because spring anil better times are here, we begin to plan new clothes, we think of new furnishings we need in our homes, from the parlor to the kitchen, we ?ive thought to good things to eat. noping thereby to tempt the appetite which may fail if not rightly considered. Knowing these and other needs hat are constantly arising ami i lamor just now to be filled, our ; nercliauts have, with one accord ! uttered this week upon a spring | atnpaign for business, known ae I Merchants' Trade Week, offering at ! noderate prices the very best goous ' ou ever saw. There are, in all our j itores, bargains which will tempt >oth old and young. No matter vliat you need, the Lancaster nierhants can furnish it at prices lower han yon can find elsewhere. They lave known their trade for many ears, they have studied your taste mcl they remember the quality and he price of ie various niticles y? u oive heretofore pmchased f;rm hem. .-'trr-ngers i.-eouentlv remn< k lpon the large arid varied asoor-. nent of < t o(!?* earned by Lan -a-. or nerchants. ""any purchasers tome rout larger places to buy in Lan aster, for they get better values tero than elsewhere. These are j idiuc of the business reasons whv ou could come to Lancaster and 1 my of Lancaster merchants. We vant to uige, furthermore, that yoa ' onie NOW to make > r purcha -s. ii.ere are many reasons why this is' tn advantageous time to buy. The! oads are much lietl r and it L com- J larativelv easy to come to town. 1 riien a drive through the beautiful ' ountry surrounding Lancaster 01ors a pleasant outing. In addition o the bargains offered by the merhants, an amusement company will urnisli a variety in entertainment, teroplane tlights. band concerts and ire works are a few of the free atracttons and there are a number of ther shows in which many will be nterested. But a yet more compelling reason rhy you should trade at home is his: The merchants have felt the fleets of depressed business condiions during the past winter more icavily than have any other people, ""hey it is who have extended aconunodations to our people. They t is who have carried the heaviest urden. Upon tlx* principle then hat one good turn deserves another ve believe that the people from very part of Lancaster county will nme to town this week and trade vith our merchants. We wish that very reader of The News would conider himself a committee to solicit rade and bring somebody else to ..ancestor. Let everybody boost the Merchants' Trade Week and coine to Lancaster to take part to. site gala reek festivities. IT'S NOT WHAT WE Our Friends Mrs. W. F. JAM KM.

Lancaster's foremost citizen, from ; a business point of view, is Col. Leroy Springs, a man of keen business insight who is bound to succeed in whatever he undertakes. He is president of a number of large hiinitiPRs concerns throughout th? state .those located In Lancaster be-1 ing the Bank of Lancaster, the Lancaster Cotton Mills, the Lancaster & ! Chester Hallway and the Lancaster | Mercantile Company. Col. Springs j is recognized as a captain of Indus-! try second to none in the South, j From year to year his business in-' terests have increased steadily and j although he has surrounded himself with able lieutenants, no detail of j his business is too trifling to claim his attention. His power of concentration on the subject in hand is -t j large contributing factor in the success he has attained. The mills and ' a other concerns he has created have| 1 swelled the population of this vicini- ' ty and many of the men associated with him in hanks, business houses and railway and mill interests are numbered among our most substantial citizens. The success of the gigantic Lancaster Cotton Mills % alone would proclaim him a seer, but this, though perhaps the largest is only one of the many enterprises which are the outgrowth of his genius. Col. Springs is just now at the zenith of his powers and is permitted to see the results of his labors and to look forward to years of con-j , tinned activity. Col. Springs has,: fcince it was organized last year, | < been president of the Chamber of Commerce, to which he has rendered j splendid service. ! editor's Note?We failed to re- ^ ooivo the cut of Col. Springs we had ordered, but this likeness of the < olonel will appear in our next Trade '.Edition, soon to be published. ? l.l 'IIIKIi KIJ.ISON. Luther Ellison, secretary <>r the , l.ancastcr Chamber of Commerce, ( who entered upon his duties here' less than eight mouths ago. has, during the intervening period, started 1 a good work in this town and coin.- j tv which already is beginning to bear fruit. Secretary Ellison's optimism has encouraged the organiza- J ; tlon he represents to undertake a J number of enterprises never before J attempted here, and that, too, in the face of unprecedented business de- ( presslon. His faith In us has been unbounded, his rapacity for team work unexcelled and his methods of accomplishing the end in view have been distinguished by wisdom and tact. Mr. Ellison has had many plans for the development of this section and having won the confidence of the people of bot^ town and county, he has secured a splendid i working co-operation in every progressive undertaking. Mr. Kllisoa is the right man in the right place. He " 'is active and energetic and never lets pass an opportunity to advance | the interests of Lancaster. tiood Fishermen. Messrs. A. H. Kobbtns, ?.
