But he did the next best thing, by cavorting, ripping and foaming at the mouth, because President Wilson would not *!\_ i 111 mediately declare war on Ger many. * 1 ? Int If it is true, as reported, that Al- knr fred G. Vanderbilt, the multi-mil- mil Jionaire, just before ho plunged to ? his death on the Lusitania, turned to bel his valet and said, "Come and let us Ide nave the kiddies/' he must have had : is \ In mind that passage in the Bible, pec where the Savior said, "Inasmuch as doi ye have done it unto one of the least the hel ?f these my brethren ye have done it wo unto me." am Chesterfield and Anderson coun- ma 41am trAlorl ntrolnal ihn nrrtnnbiHon it W& ticn v u iou a^uiunv tww pi wj/woiuwu iw bond those counties for good roads. This does not mean, necessarily, that the people do not want good pr< roads, and at the proper time would >>o< ote a reasonable amount of bonds 'rc for that purpose, but as long as poll- v? tics saturates the state as It does, at pei this time, the people are going slow of about voting a bond issue for money doi to go into the hands of tricky polltl elans?and we think they are about right. ^ git 1 "i "7 p > f y S+ftC KIOKOjtQlOK MC<COCvC KK-; - M * PRESIDENT WILSON DE- * TERMINER. fc rietc<r4c*:i acta: President Wilson has determined at Germany will be held to a trict accountability," not only for e wanton destruction of the lives the men, women and children, all nericans, who went down with the isitania, but for her other acts of gresslon against the United States, asides due reparation for what has rnoilt' lumn fjntia Huf u trua rn nt OA the part of Germany against a petition of such offenses against manity and international law must given. The course decided upon the President met with the unanous approval of his cabinet, and a note to be sent to Germany will II for a clear cut definite answer, is to be hoped that a complete and tisfactorv answer will be forthrning. If Germany does not give the sataction demanded and the guaran>s required, the United States will ce action of a decided nature. We n't look for a declaration of war the President, for the end in view i i be attained by less drastic and >ody means. Other courses are en. There could be a severence of domatic relations. The United ?tes could give the allies the beneof its resources and credit. The itter will be put squarely up to rmany and unless that country is iroughly obscessed with the idea it she can ride rough-shod over the rid. she will take a sensible view the matter, confess her mistake, ike due reparation and guarantee i r conduct for the future. In our t issue we counselled moderation speech until the President had >ken, and now that he has, we feel re that a united country will back n up in the demand that Germany 'e satisfaction for what has been ne and a guarantee of the like not ppening again. * SPECIAL JUDttES. + 1-ricrrri-;:i:rrri:lxrricriT The Columbia Record says there ? too many special judges appointto hold the courts to which we' re hearty assent. It says, "We , ppose that the governor has inired into the law to see if any of & regular judges are disengaged." lis is not the duty of the governor, hough Biease, when governor, J ve it as his reason for not apinting certain attorneys to hold urt. It is the business of the su , erne court, if in session, or the lef justice if that court is not in ssion. to recommend men "learnin the law," to hold court where i regular judge is not available and j constitution says the governor HALL" appoint upon such recotn- j ndation. The Record says, "the life of a cir- | i juuKK is Jt uaru one and tnai ? salary Is small. True> but those cult judges who are not able to do > work or live upon the salary, >uld resign and give place to lers who can render the service, t as to office holders it has been d that "few die and none ever ign." We believe a good antidote i the trouble is a law disallowing r to a judge whose disability is not aporary. We have been informed t there is one circuit judge who i been incapacitated from work something like a year, and yet, presume, he has drawn the $3,000 < ary allowed to the position. luirthis week three judges, two regr and one special judge, have n presiding over the Richland rt.

J * '* uuiiuo in uui; uuiiui, auu quuies ine commandment, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt *" thou serve." because some one said, 5 * not in connection with Mothers' Day, ;' that mother was "the divinest being 5 ? that we could worship." If we remember correctly, among the last words of the Savior of man- j j kind, while hanping on the cross, ?? . were those addressed to the Apostle];* "whom Jesus loved," commending to ?! his care His own mother. We are J J glad to know that The Journal is the ?* only newspaper we have heard of o that objects to the observance of J J Mothers' Day. In derision it sug- j j gests the observance of a "Mother- b ? in-law" day. We are sure there can i"' be no possible objectiou to this idea. Tint WA Hnil ht oorlnnalv If TI?o T/\n?? -A nal will go down in history, so well ^ remembered and beloved, because of j the suggestion, as Miss Anna Jarvis, * the founder of Mothers' Day. It 's ?! true the Good Book says "The Lord J 5 thy God is a jealous God," but we ji feel sure that poor mortals here be- < i low need have no fear of incurring J J the Divine displeasure because of ?? their taking part on the second Sunday in every May in services in honor ?! of their mothers, whether living or dead. We regret that The Journal ? has sounded this one discordant ^ note. \ ^ \l HKATH SPUING NEWS. Srhoool to Close Friday. May 21, With Interesting Program. ??
