In continuing to issue statements explaining his position and trying to justify his resignation from Presi dent Wilson's cabinet, it appears to us that Mr. Bryan keenly feels that 'be is standing on untenable ground. | He protests too much. His act of, TAlinn llf Rhincr tlio r\ i ?.v, at the very climax of a national crisis , was nothing less than hoisting the' white ilag of surrender when the nation's honor was at stake. And. in the Interest of peace, in a desire to guard his own reputation, and from a proper sense of delicacy and common sense and justice to his chief, i he ought to keep silent. Mr. Bryan Is rocking the boat, too blind in his self-complacency to see what he is j ' doing! Mr. Bryan is an idealist. Since his first nomination for the presidency he has impressed his personality and his radical principles upon ) the nation in a manner emphatic enough to purify political standards and to force the enactment of much desirable remedial legislation. He. has been a hard fighter in the cause | of good government; his zeal has never for an instant seemed to grow cold even in the face of defeat and disappointment; his honesty of purpose and his sincerity of conviction have never been challenged by his severest critics But in sound political judgment?in the ability to understand and appreciate the duty of his government in its foreign problems especially?he has often proven sadly deficient, and he has shown this quality more decidedly and less to his credit in the negotiations with Germany over the Lusltania incident As an incident of war, the former secretary's statement is strong and | convincing. As a declaration of what he conceives to be the duty of the United States in its attitude towards Germany, it is weak, inconsistent ami utterly at variance with the established principles of international law. The second note to Germany is no stronger than the first.. It is but an iteration of the principles of law und of humanity that were so 'dearly set out in the first note. As ;a matter of tact, the policy of our i .government was first enunciated in unmistakable terms as far back as ' February, when President Wilson, in bis calm and level-headed way of do- i ' ing things, notified the German gov- I eminent of our purpose to hold it to < 'strict accountability" for wilful in- ' vaslons of tlie rights of American : < citizens. Why did Mr. Bryan not re- j sign then when his retirement would j not have been misconstrued or in-j ( creased the tension of a delicate sit- < uation? Mr. Bryan could not have; been so obtuse as to have failed to . -analyze the meaning of the Presi- j f dent's announced policy at that time. .. "Why did the secretary's foresight and t fairness faii him so completely when ^ -he could have stepped down and out ! without muddying the waters and r disturbing International relations? ij iT/r. Bryan's idealism probably will () ' ue to act as a ieu*?ning influ- , t encc- u. the progressive thought and li action dfiVhe day. but his resignation h and llie* rij;".n of errors attending it j a make it al! the more clear and convincing that he is not a safe man io high official position. As a private , c'tizen lie can command respect and serve his country well; as a public' nytJ Aaiu?. n jjie remote event that he ^over enters official life again?his judgment will be discounted in ad-;, and his mod faith Will lie nrn :faced by a question m.vk. Some day the nations will reach, . the goal of universal peace. Mr. 1 Bryan will have a conspicuous plac. in the sun when that happy day comes. Even now it will be like sowing good feed for Mr. Bryan to go on the lecture platform or on the stump and preach, in broad and '' proper terms the doctrine of peaceful persuasion, but, if he makes the ' unpardonable blunder of increasing ! the danger of war by taking sharp issue with the President in this grave ' crisis with a foreign power, he mav s find that the one hundred millions of. whom he proclaims himself a part.'1 will "show no mercy" to hint for his ' lack of loyalty and statesmanship. | It is strictly up to Mr. Bryan him- 1 self as to whether he will try to redeem his mistake, or justify, by indiscreet utterances, the long-time I' judgment of his enemies.

Fellowship Is unmistakably one ol the things most sorely needed on the ^ farm; and the lack of this fellowshtj | largely accounts for the greater at tractiveness of "public work" to sc many people. If farmers with ad joiniug farms would join togethei more in breaking land, planting crops, chopping cotton, cultivating corn, don't you believe we should all be the happier and find farming more profitable and satisfying? A little glimpse of the practical application of this idea was given by a Horry county, souui Carolina, correspondent some time ago, who wrote us. "Public works have taken the negro out of our rural regions, so the Jolly red-faced boys and girls exchange work in the strawberry and tobacco seasons and It all gets done!" The unfortunate fact seems to be that in recent years we are having less rather thau more fellowship, comradeship, co-operation in farm work. When the writer was at work on a Southern farm the neighbors all got together for log rollings iu the spring, wheat and oat threshing in summer, corn shuckings and liogkilllngs in fall, and "house raisings" in'winter whenever a neighbor wished to put up a new building, while we had neighborhood metings to help out sick neighbors as occasion required in between times to say nothing of quiltings for the women folk and purely social meetings. And even yet in all our graiUTgrowlng sections, threshing-time, for all the grime and dust and heat of it, is one of the joys of the whole year, simply because of the royal good fellowship xhihited when all the farmers and 'arm boys of p. neighborhood join together to help one another. Let's look into it. Brother Farmer, and see if wo cannot do tnore witn this Idea ot having neighbors join tonether in planting, plowing, hoeing, cultivating, harvesting and marketing our crops this year and ever after. It will not only pay in dollars and cents but it will pay even more notably in happiness, the joyous comradeship and spiritual exaltation that we never find except in "bearing one another's burdens" as the great Master of Life directed. Let's have more fellowship in farm work. The Jew in Warfare. Columbia Record. If the Jewish people could colonize somewhere in the world, what a nation it would be. The Jewish people lo not Incline to war, but they make the best of soldiers when they do ?nli8t. . ^ ^ in the English army today there ire 12,000 Jews, and the Jewish community in London is making very effort to increase the number. In the Russian arm/ are thousands ind thousands of Jews, and this is rue of Austria and Hungary. They re loyal to the respective homes of heir adoption, and the Jews make ;ood soldiers. There is living in this tale a man of the Jewish race who nade a gallant scout in Stonewall faeksoti's army, one of the bravest f the brave. Yet war was but au luident in his life. After it was over ie settled down to hard work and he ids a fortune and has reared a large ml happy family. In warfare, as in business.

They settle into habits f desultory reading largely of magaines and novels. The recent growth ot summer chools and home courses of unhersiv education, however, is encouraging i vast number of young people to ;eep at it. Columbia University in innouncing its summer schools for 1015, notes that last year 5.590 stulents took these extra courses. And hat Is only one institution among icores that are doing this work.

In other words, either law or an archy must prevail In South CaroI lina. To be sure, our system of laws it far from perfect and so it must re main until men be themselves per fected. The one course open, however, is to respect and obey the laws that we have and that, practically Mr. Bigby admits when he acknowledges that he can offer no remedy foi ? legal system that he holds to he in particulars, unsatisfactory. However, defects in our legal system are largely imaginary. Sixty years ago dueling was held to be a< ssential to the defence of a gentleman's honor as responding to "thy lie" with a blow is held to be now? but dueling was outlawed and abanloned. Interference with the right to sell whiskey would have been regarded intolerable tyranny in 1825 (just as the most of the Scotch ami Knglish people regard it now) but this generation looks on it with equanimity. When the "Fence" law was enacted in thi6 state about thirty-seven years ago forcible re| sistance to it was threatened here t and there but in a few weeks it was | accepted as a marked Improvement on preceding statutes about conflne. meut of live stock. In the matter of the crime against woman there is no sound reason to leave the punishment to individual avengers. Long ago it was the j hnundeu duty for a brother or son to avenge the murder of a brother or parent, but it proved an abominable j custom. The punishment was placed in the hands of the community, the s'ate. and no other plan is compatirde with the state's security. Three | out of four lynchlngs have nothing j to do with the crime against women. yet the toleration of it for that crime breeds it for others. Not long ago a negro was lynched in South | Carolina because his reputation was bad and he was found concealed un1 der a dwelling bouse in the absence \ of it3 master. W ten crimes against white women I are committed by negroes, the culprits do not escape through the courts. The statutes have been made extraordinarily drastic. The mere attempt to commit the crime is a capital offence. ft It is likely thar more than tbreefonrths of the men lynched in S?>uth Carolina in the last fifty years were guilty of a capital crime? Probably not half of them were so guilty. We recall various cases w tiere men w ere lynched for lominitting misdemeanors nnd ?nmo in n hlrli ?!.*.? accused of crimes against women and were probably innocent. Sending a man to his death without trial Is a pretty serious thing to do and there are men in this state who hare helped to do ;t and who, in their moments of reflection, are not sure that the guilty suffered. Even were it admitted that the commission of the crime against women should automatically suspend the laws, releasing the populace to turn itself into a howling mob to ol.if Ud ? '<!/) ?
