No, indeed, we have no idea of going
abroad for the present at least. f<

Where schools are too close to- w
gether for greater efficiency they tc
should be consolidated. o

The gallon a month law is evi- tl
dently making liquor scarce here- s
abouts, as the blind tigers are begin- Qi
ning to sell water for booze. w

One of the important things now ni
to be done is to get the roads lead- q
ing to Lancaster in first class con- p,
dition all the year round. (l
e1
We want to see every school dis- ^
trlct in Lancaster county go to the
limit in the matter of levying taxes
Jor school purposes.

Providence seems to have ordained 111
that Woodrow Wilson should preside I 31
over the destines of the nation in per- pl
haps the most critical time of its his- 3t
tory. w

Japan is not letting the grass grow ni
under her feet while the great Euro- B
pean powers are in their death grappie.
She is gradually tightening her <1
coils around China. it

T ? J
iv >ivis uecu ?um mat some towns G
need a few first class funerrls. Such w
is not the case if the progressive ele- gi
ment will just get together and make d<
things hum. w

No matter what advantage the w
United States might gain in going
into the European war, upon the one (j(
side or the other, President Wilson tj
can be depended upon not to take %v
the step unless he thinks it right to c(
do so.

Raphael Semmes, the commander
of the Confederate cruiser Alabama,
tc
which destroyed so many vessels of ^
the United States on the high seas,
al ways took pains to save the lives I
of all on board of the ill-fated vesseis,
even those of the enemy.

We hope that other farmers in the
county will follow the example set !~
by Mr. A. J. Gregory and build silos
on their farms. The United States lp(
government will furnish experts, free (j.
of charge, to superintend their con- (.j
. struction. - w

It fs true that something like t
nundred American citizens' lives ^
were sucriflcd by Germany, but how
many thousands upon thousands
more would be sacrified in case we '
went to war with Germany. It may
be well to "count the cost" before

t Lancaster Leads with the besi
sewerage system, water, lights, pav- !r
ed sidewalks and Main street paved
and brilliantly lighted all the way jV
and a live Chamber of Commerce to jH
go after more good things. What m
town can vie with Lancaster? sn
+ P[
Our live secretary of the Chamber ^
of Commerce, who has been advocatIng
the great white way and who has kl
b?en somewhat indisposed for sev- 1,1
eral days, came down street this Sf
morning wreathed in smiles. He w
was affected by the news of the great le
white way. bi
+ b
How people will take risks. An ^
hour after receiving the news of the l)(
torpedoing of the Lusitania, the n
captain of 'he Transylvania sailed o
for Europe, remarking that he would p
like to come close enough to a sub- t|
marine to "ram" it, and only twelve L
passengers cancelled their sailing a
engagements. c
J
That Lancaster is one of the most c
progressive towns in the state cannot
be questioned. Now, with ail r
modern improvements, such as wa- ^
ierworks, lights, sewerage, more ,
cement sidewalks *than any town of /
Its size In the South, a sheet asphalt- 1
cd Main street, to extend its entire *
length, and to be lighted at night by ^
a great white way, we can settle
down to thq iTUifness of making Lan- 1
raster, not ftftod town merely, but I
the very best town In the state. f {

The torpedoing and sinking of tho in m
tritish passenger vessel, Lusitania, not o
nd the destruction of more than one e*tra
iundred American lives, by a Gernan
submarine, Friday, has sent a 0f tl
nrm or norror tnrougnout tne Ke- can <

ourteen hundred other lives lost, but g
hese belonged to other nationalities,
'here were more lives lost when the Ne
11-fated Titanic went down, but this an a
appened by accident. Neve
This tragedy is appalling and there were
re many intemperate utterances by who
ersons and newspapers, chief among havii
hem being an ex-President of the merc
nite<l patrc
What is our present duty? Un- your
uestionably to keep our heads and In
o as the great silent man at Wash- j are a
lgton, our President, is doing, wait }?^
ir the coming in of all the facts be- venire
expressing our opinion. The : housi
olicy of President Wilson has al- i tickll
avs been, if consistent with honor, '
> keep this country out of war with 1 arrjv
tlier nations. He has time and I This
pain advised the people to observe | comf
le strictest neutrality. The United clt>'
tates has no treaty either offensive ,atr?

ar. She has protested against cer- rder
tin Infringements of her rights as a Jeutral
nation by both England and u,)
ermany. England established a [JJ"'1'
aper blockade, making vessels of stock
le United States liable to seizure, and
k-en when not loaded with contra- of 8t
and of war, and has gone ahead
dzlng such vessels, contrary to the lnto
lies of intenational law and over some
le protest of this country. Ger- talks
iany likewise has established the
w n y 1
ime kind of blockade and over the aer{e|
rotest of the United States, has de- you
royed British vessels, upon which with
ere American citizens. That the 110
Hi ft

ave been violated by both Great Hob
ritain and Germany is an establish- Thea
i fact. But the other and greater throu
uestion is, what is this country go- p^nt
1 n t pri
ig to do about it? If President
,'ilson should declare war against k0
ermany we believe it would meet idea
ith hearty response and would tp?y
uarantee his re-election to the presi_

ill not weigh a feathers-weight with isfact

is all in he will announce his 1 j j

ther thing to dedicate yourself to ,

elf in groups. America doer, not Eliza

'ders himself a* belonging to a nu- jor|e
tonal group is not yet an Ameri- Karol
an- son,
"America must have the conscious- y,eon
tess that on all sides it touches eltows
and touches hearts with all the fiahr
mtions of mankind. The example of R0gt
vmerica must be a special example.
