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

ly.ng waiting for the outcome of this
thing to arsrrt. thernr-elvep, and as- |
sorting themselves even now, to enlighten
o''r judgment and steady our
spirts. 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.
No man can see the outcome,
but. every man can keep his
o . n spir 1 prepared to contribute to
le net result when the outcome disph
; o tteli.
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. Let us all adopt the suggestion
of our great President and
take no part in the fight which docs
nut nnncprn iir t.pt us rather clve
our thoughts to weighty matters on
this side of the world which demand
our attention.

-I- MKIN HANTS' Tlt.VDE WEEK. -IAll
nature is awakening from its
long sleep. 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.

COL LKROY SPRINGS.
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

Commerce, to which he has rendered
splendid service.

less than eight months ago, lias, during
the intervening period, started
a good work in this town and county
which already is beginning to
hear fruit. Secretary Kllison's optimism
has encouraged the organization
he represents to undertake a
number of enterprises never before
attempted here, ami that, too, in the
face of unprecedented business de

presston. 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. fillison has had many
plans for the development of this
section and having won the confidence
of the people of both town and
county, lie lias secured a splendid
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.
