* 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

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,

the world, and I fancy I see I hope

All nature is awakening from its
long sleep. 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.

COIi. LfiROT SPRINGS.
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. ?

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.
