TH>: TKKSKNT LAW. ?
?
Fountain li.n Tribune.
God does not change. Natural
laws do not chance. The law ol
compensation is a fixed statute, subject
to ameudment only by the God
who planned it.
And yet God's precepts, ordinances.
rules of conduct, do chance and
have changed to keep pace with
manktM's advauce toward spiritual
perfection.
When Christ said: "Moses, because
of the hardness of your hearts, suffered
you to do this." He implied
hat Moses was acting under God's
instructions.
The Son gave a new law?more
spiritual, more exacting than the
one given by the Father?and explained
the amendment by the implication
that men had become more
capable of appreciating and understanding
spiritual matters.
No casual or thorough student of
Christ's teachings can doubt that
after His coming the world stands
or falls by a statute almost directly
opposed to the one in force before
His birth.
Present day affairs cannot be
judged by a precedent found in the
old scriptures. The old laws were
laws of iron to match the hardness
of men's hearts. The new laws are
laws of love given by a man of sorrows.
1 have heard men accuse God of
being partner in the crime that now
makes the rivers of Europe to run
red with blood. Was Christ a failure?
Are we yet living under the
heartless justice that demands an
eye for an eye? Are our hearts as
hard as Moses found them?
I cannot believe it. I cannot believe
that Christ was sent as an experiment.
I cannot believe that 11?
was or is impotent.
And if He accomplished that for
which He came, then God has set
aside His cold law of just compensation.
and men are judged in mercy.
If He accomplished that for which
he came, love is now the supreme
law of the universe and hate has no
place except in the hearts of the
children of the father of liars. If
He accomplished that for which H?>
came, those who love Him love ooe
another, and those who hate one
other and yet claim to love Him are
liars.
Hear Him: "A new commandment
I give unto you, that ye love one an
other; as I have loved you, that ye
also love one another. By this shall
all men know that ye are my dis
ciples. if ye have love one to another."
Can that Christ who taught love
and humility and forgiveness be an
accomplice in the crime of Europe?
Can He who said "Forgive your enemies
and do good to them that despitefully
use you"?can He be helping
in the slaughter?
A house divided against itself cannot
stand. Christ, who is Clod, cannot
be a party to a work of evil.
God has no part in the war in Europe.
When men have wrought havoc,
have devastated the land of the
fruits of their labors, have slain half
their number and grown faint and
sick with the smell of blood?then
God will gather the scattered skein
of civilization and weave a new
pattern for other generations.
But He has no part in the murder.
Only hell's king and those who
serve him are enlisted in the war.
Some serve him because they are
nis bond servants; some serve him
ignorantly, blindly. But certain it
is that God's hands are clean.
God is love; war is hate. No man
can serve two masters.
Dreams.
It Is a common saying that out
dreams of that which one has beer
thinking most about. This is the ex
ception and not the rule. The drearr
may be of something that one thought
of at some time, but possibly not foi
years, that would not be recalled ir
waking hours, which had lain dormant
In the mind, to be prosaically re
hearsed through some operation o
physical functions, such as impedet
respiration, feverish conditions, som;

albly ended with a dessert of minc<
pie, stomachic distress, clogging of th<
circulation or some bodiiv pain.

liAW OR ANARCHY?
Columbia State.
Kvery decent man and woman ii
South Carolina Is agreed and resolvec
that the women of the State be pro
I tected in the most effecltlve way pos
r sible.
The only question then. Is what it
I the most efTeaUve way?
Is it private vengeance, by rela
tivss or friends of the injured wo
man? In that ease, what if th*
avenger Ik1 slain by the criminal? It
sometimes so happens.
Is it vengeance by the mob. th?
angry community, commonly called
iymunit;, ? iina nil' iuw vans uiur
dor? If so. why have the law?
Is it the law, which is to say the
State, which is to say all the people
acting together as one man in an
orderly, regular and certain manner
that includes means to ascertain the
truth? To answer, No. is to say that
the State is a failure and a farce
If the laws to prevent crime
against women are ineffective, inade
quate, weak and vain, will the people,
do the people, say that they will
amend and strengthen the laws? Or
do they prefer anarchy, no law, mob
murder?
Let the people answer If their
laws are vain and foolish, it is no
fault of New York or North Carolina.
For thirty-nine years the white people
have ruled South Carolina, and
made and administered the laws and
they have had all kinds of legislatures
and governors and all the white
people have ioted in the primar'es.
If the laws have failed, it is the failure
of the people.
ii we are prepared to confess failure
of our laws, it would be cimmo'i
sense to surrender our State sovereignty
and ask the Virginians,
where negroes are numerous and
Ivnchings almost unknown, to annex
South Carolina and govern it.
These things have nothing to do
with the case of the late Sheriff of
Fairfield. The people of South Carolina
gave him a certain and clear
duty to do and left him no option or
alternative They made him swear
to do it. Reing no coward or perjuror,
he did it. It cost him his
life.
What think the people of a company
of soldiers who force their captain
forward till he is in range of
the enemy's guns and then themselves
deaert him and run away.
For the people of South Carolina
to excuse the slaying of Sheriff Hood
is to do exactly that. It is to desert
the body of their officer, dead
under the fire of the enemy where
they sent him and

WALKING FOR HEALTH.
+
i HI ll'l IIIHIHIIIHHt
A famous New York physician was
called upon some months ago by a
patient who presented an appearances
of illness, but with whom he
could find nothing the matter. Questioning
disclosed the fact that he
had not taken regular physical exercise
for years. "That's your
trouble," remarked the wise physician.
"I'll write you a prescription.'
When he got outside the office the
patient opened the bit of paper and
read, "Get a pedometer and bring it
back to me in three weeks with the
indicator pointing to 100 miles."
When the patient returned at the
time mentioned the doctor, without
making an examination, told him he
need not come back an? m
looks demonstrated the efficacy of
the tre-(m?nt. But h'e was counseled
to persevere in keeping the
pedometer busy and thereby save
many a doctor's fee.
There are imaginative patients,
1 most of whose troubles may be trac(
ed to the "thermometer habit." They
I are constantly taking their tempera,

The Progressive Farmer.
In The Progressive Farmer for
j several months we have been discussing
the problem of "The Rur&l Community,"
and emphasizing the truth
__ i of Mr. George W. Russell's statement
j that heretofore we have virtually had
. no rural "communities." We have
had people living here and there in
, country districts; we have had collpptinna
of fn rm hnnono ? "
. w? tu UVUOCO, UUl ? V JlttVf
not had rural communities, the word
"community" signifying a body of
, people with common aims, aspira,
tions, hopes, working* together for
( the Improvement of one definite sec,
tion. We have village communities,
, town communities, city communities,
but broadly speaking, we have not (
had country communities.
And why not? That was the question
we have been trvftig to answer. ,
And the conclusion we reached was
that we have not had country com- ,
inanities, not because country people ,
are less earnest or ambitious than
town people, but because the country ^
has not had the facilities which the
town has had for organizing or ex- |
pressing tne community spirit. j
First, the country community lacks ,
definite boundaries: We have often ,
wondered, as we said then, how it t
would be in our cities if there wer?
two or three towns converging together
and no citizen knew to which
one his allegiance belonged or with
which city group he ought to work.
Second, the country neighborhood i
lacks organization: Mr. tleorge W. <
Russell, the Irish philosopher, gives ?
striking expression to this fact by
contrasting the facilities for "getting
things done" in a city like Dublin
with the lack of such facilities in a
country neighborhood. '
In his illustration Mr. Russell has
put his finger on the trouble with ,
many a country neighborhood. It
may contain cny number of aspiring. I
ambitious men and women, anxious
for progress and improvement, but
they lack machinery for getting results.
They start making sentiment
for some reform but it is hard to get
the sentiment organized. Every j
farm home lies in a sort of "twilight j
zone" of neutrality between one ?
neighborhood and another. Does the J
farmer's allegiance belong to his
neighbors to the north of him or to ^
the east, south or west? Where ( k
should the people meet to consider
any matter of common interest?in a ~
church to the right, in a school house j
to the left, or where? How far do
the neighborhood lines extend in this
direction or that?where begin and ''
where end? ^
Every town, county, state or nation
has (1 ) its definite boundaries and V
(2) its duly constituted governing
authorities to whom any plan for pro- ^
gress may be presented. The country
community has neither. And no great
man in all American history except ^
Thomas Jefferson has maintained (
that it should have either. Then s
even Jefferson's ambition was forgotten
and it is only in the last few ^
years that earnest men, notably in
North Carolina and Alabama, have m
again caught his vision, and begun
?w " "? n. iui me ui ^nin/iatiun %J i juiui k,
communities. Just in the last twelve
months some interesting experiments
have been inaugurated in Alabama,
which we hope to report on later,
while Sampson county, North Caro- f
Una, in the organization of "Community
League," has partly solved 1
the problem of organization, with
Jefferson's idea of incorporation soon '
to follow. |

LATEST "ON THE FORD."
Wall Street Journal.
There are a number of stories told
concerning Henry Ford ,of Detroit,
and the well known product turned
out in his shops, but a Wall Street
man who recently returned from Detroit
vouches for the truth of this
one, which he says Mr.Ford tells
on himself:
It seems that Ford, who believes
in using his own cars, was out in the
suburbs of Detroit one day and
stopped when he saw a driver of a
Ford car trying to start his car '
\vhirh h:id fnilo/1 fr/\m anmo '
The driver did not appear to be able
to locate the trouble, so Ford got out
from his car and tendered his Ber- 1
vices.
In a few minutes the stalled car ;
was ready to run again and the own- ;
er, after thanking his unknown ben- ;
efactor pulled a half dollar from his
pocket and tendered it saying, "Stop
at the first place and get yourself i
some cigars."
The money was declined with the 1
statement, "I have more money now
than I can find any use for, and 1
was only too glad to get your car
darted again."
The owner of the reinvenated car
looked at the Good Samaritan and
)lPIl 211 thp Pnr/1 nor o?*/l ool?l

more money than <ou knew what
