* 11KYAX, THE IDEALIST. *
I II I M l I I I 1 I I > ? >II++IIM
Anderson Intelligencer.
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.

, We Xeed More Fellow .ship In Farti
Work.
| Progressive Farmer.
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

the best of soldiers when they do

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

re loyal to the respective homes of

tale a man of the Jewish race who

The reasouing of Mr. F. C. Bigb:

! would be no way of excluding othei
! mental reservations as. for instance
i one of exercising a right to dlvorc*
1 a wife or to marry two or three.
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

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

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

was without fault. He was enforcing
the letter and spirit of the law.
I Cowardice and i>?rjnry were hts sole
alternative. The people, the state in
