It is said that the difference betwoen
the optimist and the pessimist
is that the optimist sees the doughnut
while the pessimist sees the hole.
Ho that as it may it has strained the
most persistent optimism at times
during the past fourteen months to
see any doughnut around the hole.
The terrible and apparently causeless
war goes on with little prospect of
ending so far as we can discover and
the resurces of the world
"?v uciiifS
more and more taxed to meet the
drain of its incomprehensibly immense
economic loss
But there is now a silver lining
that appears about, the rim of the
cloud. Adversity no less than prosperity
has its lessons, and if we believe
the Scriptures of all times that
are past those lessons are the best
f learned that the old world teaches to
its restless children through adversity.
The lesson that the war has
been bringing home to people in this
country only in lesser degree than
to the people of the battle scarred
countries of Europe is that of
economy.
We read of the extravagance and
love of luxury that characterized the
latter years of fhe Roman Empire, of
lie pomp and lavishness of the
French, of Bonis XIV, but at no time
in the entire history of the world has
extravagance of the rich and the
poor been so without restraint as
within the fifteen years preceding the
opening of the historic August of
191 t. New devices of commercialism:
new methods of finance; great.

production of nil of the essential
commodities of modern life: quicken
ed modes of communication and
transportation, all. have contributed
to the development of an expansion
in credits and a multlplk-nt ion of
business that created wealth with
such amazing rapidity that the world
was swept wholly away from her
moorings.
The anchors of prudence and caution
were swept away with this increased
wealth, accumulated largely
in the hands of a comparatively few.
Moving 8w 1 f11 into the ordinary
currents this causes corresponding
thriftlcssness in the whole body of
our people. To us a slang expression,
"it came easy and went easy."
The extravagance of the rich and

die class and the poor. There is no
one living in this community today
who cannot run back over the past
fKtoen years and remember how different
were the wants of ihe family,
of the man, and his wife, and the
hoys and girls and by comparison
how the cost of high living has first
doubled and then trebled the yenrlv
expense.
There is an extravagance that it is
not impossible to commend. This
is the extravagance of the one who
will strain a point to have a better
home, better education for ids children,
better health conditions in his
town, the extravagance of the man
who gives his wife the conveniences
of modern life in the daily duties of
the home and to the children the
benefits of every advantage which
lies within his reach. But no palliation
can be found for the man who
is so weak, or so foolish, or so dishonest
as to cultivate in his dally Brand
that of his family extravagant
tastes which can he gratified only at
the hazard of overwhelming debt, of
habits unsuited to the duties of his
and their lives.
Them have been, in line, too many
automobiles, too many line dresses
and high-heel shoes, too many boys
and girls who have their heels and
their automobiles driving talents educated,
and their tnste for fine clothes
and soft drinks cultivated at the expense
of their ability to earn respectable
livings after they are turned
loose in the world.
Extravagance Is excusable in the
rich because it helps them to distribute
their surplus among those who
need it. It Is inexcusable* folly in the
poor because it leads only to dishonesty
and ruin.
, The war has taught us the valuable
lesson that economy is a Rem of great
value. We have learned thai wo can
get along on much loss than a year
ago seemed at all possible. Wo have
been riding In automobiles when wc
ought to have walked; we have cast
aside good clothes because of a senseless
change of style; we have bought
beyond our means to keep up appearances
with our prosperous neighbor
we have smoked too many Hahnna
cigars instead of a corn cob pipe, wc

of extruvagance, wo shall within
another year have pulled ourselves
out of the hole of debt and despondency
by our own boot-straps and be
well on the road to a real and lasting
prosperity.
The blessings, therefore, of adver-j

are by no means to be disparaged. |

I there is no ram why we eanr. >:

i so long as I am an olllcer of tiie lawjust
so long will 1 see that the laws
are enforced."
The above is quoted from a state ,
nient made by Sheriff Sim J. Miller
of Lexington, when told the result
of the recent prohibition election.
That sounds as if a real man were
speaking. With Manning or a man
like him in the governor's office and
a man like Miller in the sheriff's
oltice, lots of the fear for tho enforcement
of prohibition will vanish.
Man hood is at a premium in
South Carolina today, and real men
are needed in office?not merely
time serving politicians who unafraid
to do their duty lest a voter
become offended. The imvornnr
sheriffs, and magistrates, and mayors
of towns and cities, if they be
real men, red-blooded and wedded
to duty, can make South Carolina
#
"dry as a powder house."
The Slato lias twitted the prohibitionists
with being solely responsible
for the enforcement of this
law. While we do not grant the
correctness of the reasoning with
which The State fixes this responsibility.
The Press and Standard picks
up the gauntlet thus thrown down
and if The State and other liquor
advocates wish to take this stand,
the prohibitionists can elect prohibitionists
to the executive offices
of South Carolina from governor to
magistrate, including mayors and
wardens and give South Carolina a
real prohibition administration.
In truth, thinking further about
this matter, we suspect that is what
should lie done anyway, else the
election of Sentemher 11 were in
vain.
The Sumter Herald says:
"In the future officers should bo
selected who will follow the prin-i
ciples laid down by our present gov-1
ernor in the enforcement of the laws'
as they appear on the statute books
without fear and without prejudice."
And we say "amen" to this.

A young lady from Tennessee explains
that "Southern chivalry" is an
inheritance from Colonial days,
"when women were ver> scarce and
hence valuable." Sue adds that
"women are plentiful now." Presumably.
then, the South will ere
long he treating women in the same
cool, matter-of-fact way that is supposed
to prevail in the North.
As a matter of fact, the Tennessee
girl was probably more than half
right. Women are no exception to
the rule a good thing s .Cued in proportion
to its sfcarcrty. The American
people as a whole are still recognized
as the most chivalrous ot nations.
Some races, like the French,
may treat their women with more
elaborate courtesy; hut nowhere is
the sex so highly regarded and so i
much deferred to in essential matinwl
as in th?' I'nited States.
And this is surely not because of
any special virtue Inherent in American
men. It is because the American
