V ' * WITHHOLDING JUDGMENT. r \ ( In all probability President Wil- j j son has had more critical matters to deal with ibnn any of our presidents , with tlie pogsibit? exception of Wash- , ? ington and Lincoln. In the many I matters that bav? been forced upon ^ him during nis administration, one j < of the most serious and far-reaching, ' Vac relation of this country to the L great powers now engaged in the; j world-wide war. He counsels ab- j solute neutrality on the part of our t people. In a recent speech before , the annual conference of the Mary- t land Methodist Protestant Church, ( in session at Washington, he counsoled the withholding of judgment f upon the course of the nations now engaged in war. On this subject he t said in part: ^ "It would be impossible for men to go through what men are going ' through on the battlefields of Eu- 1 rope and struggle if it were not that i 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, thero sits tho silent waiting tribunal which is going to utter ultimate judgment upon this struggle, the great tribunal of the opinion of the world, and I fancy I see I hope t!u t I see, I prr.y that it may be that "" ' *?

No man in v. tse enough to nronomco Judgment, but we ran all hold our r.p'rlts in readiness to no- ' rrpt. the truth when It dawns on us rnd is revealed to us in tho outcome of tills titanic slmr-gle. "You will see that it is or.ly in aurh general term that one ran speak In tho midst of a confused world, because, as I have already fe-- . said, 110 man has the key to this confusion.

Ko . / well \ ould it be for us all to remember these words?'"No man is wise enough to pronounce judgment"?even in the ordinary nffairs of life, much less in a matter the moving cause of which we know little about.

The trees, the flowers, 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 depression 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 and gardens. Because spring and 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 give thought to good things to eat, hoping thereby to tempt the a; petite which may fail if not rightly considered. Knowing these and other nee Is that are constantly arising and clamor just now to he tilled, our > merchants have, with one accord entered this week upon a spring campaign for business, known nc Merchants' Trade Week, offering at moderate prices the very best goods ! you t ver saw. There arc. in till our j stores, bargains which will tempt > l)oth old and young. No matter what you need, the Lancaster merchants can furnish it at prices lower :han yon can find elsewhere. They nave known their trade for manv 'ears, they have studied your taste ind they remember the quality and the price of re various aitiflcs y? u loive heretofore pmchased ftrni Litem. .-'trr-ngers l.-eouentlv rent a. k upon the large and varied aasor tnent of ??od4" canted by Lanoa-. or merchants. Man\ purchasers t< rn? from larger places to buy in Lancaster, for they get better values here than elsewhere. These are J some of the business reasons whv you could come to Lancaster and buy of Lancaster merchants. We want to urge, furthermore, that yo.i ' conn NOW to make > r put Ota >>s. i i.ere ore many r, .cms whx this ' m advantage nis timo to 1 nv. The ! roads arc much bolt r and it com- j uai'.iti\< ly easy to conic to town. > rhcn a drive through the beautiful 1 country surrounding Lancaster offers a pleasant outing. In addition !o the bargains offered by tlie merchants. an amusement company will furnish a variety in entertainment. Veroplane (lights, band concerts and ire works arc a few of the free atractfons and there are a number of jther shows in which many will be interested. But a yet more compelling reason why you should trade at home is his: The merchants have felt the iffects of depressed business cotuitions during the past winter more leavily than have any other people. They ft is who have extended ae ominodations to our people. They t is who have carried the heaviest lurden. Upon tlit principle then * hat one good turn deserves another ive believe that the people from ivery part of Lancaster county will ?me to town this week and trade ftith our merchants. We wish that ivery reader of The News would condder himself a committee to solicit rade and bring somebody else to Lancaster. Let everybody boost the Merchants' Trade Week and1 eome to Lancaster to take part in. the gala week festivities. IT'S NOT WHAT WE Our Friends MB, W. F.

Lancaster's foremost citizen, from u business point of view, is Co!. 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 business concerns throughout the state .those located in Lancaster being the Bank of Lancaster, the Lancaster Cotton Mills, the Lancaster & Chester Railway and the Lancaster Mercantile company. uoi. springs is recognized as a captain of industry second to none in the South. From year to year his business interests have increased steadily and although he has surrounded himself with able lieutenants, no detail of his business If too trifling to claim his attention. I lis power of concentration on the subject in hand is a large contributing factor in the success he has attained. The mills and other concerns he has created have swelled the population of this viciuity and many of the men associated with him in banks, 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 cont inniul nrHvltv f/^1 fsnrinira \\ n u Vsinee it was organized last year, been president of the Chamber of Commerce, to which he has rendered splendid service. 10diter's Note?Wo failed to receive the cut of Col.
