The Columbia State.
That Inherited nates and jealousies
are at bottom in me war is
clear. To these have been added the
commercial rivalries and racial antipathies
which are the outcome of national
Bullishness. As every man's
educaiton in life makes him debtor
to the past, these inevitable conflicts
represent a past destroying itself.
The life a man spends prodigally for
national ideals is a sacrifice of an
accumulated past which immolates
itself on the altars it has raised. At
the same time, the soldier lays down
his future. Perhaps his death extinguishes
his line. Then the advantage
of his sacrifice, considered from the
standpoint of family inheritance, reverts
to distant kinsmen. A glorious
death for one's country in such case
may mean that one's immediate llnei
will become extinct while tlio nation I
gains. Acts of heroism add to the
spirited capital of the race. The person
lives 011 in his country's ideals.
So imbedded do we become in the
past that it is necessary for new
forces to replace the old. The later
lives of most men are intellectually
but accretions to what is already
there laid down in outline in youth.
Hence irreconcilable differences arise
among men. Ilut the young happily
are not so burdened and the world
advances. The toll of lives now being
levied is a penalty of bearing old
ideas into new relationships brought
about by changes In the world. This
is figurative of course. The changes
are working themselves out among
the old ideas in much the same
fashion that the war is spreading
among nations. Never in a decade
could present Europe settle its problems
with absolutely the same men.
Not permanently. Only slowly is
an Alsace-Lorraine forgotten. Fortunately,
old Jealousies are hard to
transmit and former enemies as soldiers
may become friends as individuals.
At home the soldiers of peace are
laying down their lives in every whit
as worthy a manner. The merchant,
the professional man. the working
man, are using up a certain amount
of life daily. This labor is as noble
as that paid out in the trenches, j
Also, it is less spectacular and usually
more satisfying. The man who,
goes about his business and delivers j
a good day's work to his employers;
or to his clients is supporting as|
durable an ideal as that of the warrior
who dreams a bayonet into a
miner s ureasi. i o nioi oui one s
future in service to one's fellow man
is magnificent though unheralded.
The common man who does his duty
as he sees it In commercial life will
be found to be no skulker in time of
war.
If the past is to be destroyed daily,
only the best should be preserved and
its influences should be brought to
bear upon the young of the race. To
be born implies the need of development.
The body is soon strong and
the mind easily acquires its training
Charecter is built up slowly by reflexes
of personality upon environment.
If the worst of the old order j
is to pass away with the signing of
treaties and the lapsing of the validity
of the old slogans and formulas,
it must come about as a sloughing off.
In the new order man may then
look with creative vision. Future in
hand, ho must shape and mould himself
in conformity with ideals as yet
unimagined and press on toward a
goal as yet unrealized. Ho must
throw aside the obviously evil and
weak by faith.

Henderson (N. C.) Dispatch.
The town that wants to grow and
draw desirable population from the
outside world to swell its own numbers
must always make it a special
point to extend a hearty and unfeigned
welcome to new comers who give
evidence from the start of becoming
good citizens. Standinsr nlnof I'mm
them and giving them the cold
shoulder, or looking at them askance
as they pass to and fro, just because
they happen to be new comers in the
community is one of the very worst
forms of bad manners and has no
tendency to exemplify the spirit
which would induce outsiders of real
worth to come and make their
homes among us. The latter practice,
however, is generally confined
to that class of old timey villagers
who for some erroneous reason or
other have abrogated to themselves
the notion that they aro the only
real people in all the world. Many
a good man who because of his true
worth stood high in the estimation
of the community from which ho
came has on moving to another town
been persistently snobbed for years
by this class of citizens.
No well regulated new comer Is
going to make the slightest effort
to "butt in" on the Inner circles of
a community that Is new to him.
Quite to the contrary, he is naturally
going to be reserved and somewhat
retiring in this respect and rather
wait to be introduced into these circles.
But the towns which have
grown most rapidly and substantially
In population have not been the
ones that proceeded to construct an
insurmountable wall against the
new comer, but have rather extended
to him the glad hand of welcome
and have sought to make him feel
that he was worthy of at least ordinary
recognition in the everyday affairs
of the community. The stranger
of the correct poise will never be
swept off his feet by such recognition,
but it will only spur him on to
prove his worthiness beyond a doubt.
No well moaning and properly balanced
stranger lias any objection to
being tried and proved in the right
way. New comers of the right sort
li*.variably infuse new bleed and new
life into the community and make
1only the better by their anting.

THE LANCASTER NEWS
Splendid Lax
For El
litis Bern Prescribed by Well Known
Physician for Many Years.
The infirmities of age are especially
manifest in a tendency to constipation,
and call for treatment that
will afford relief in an easy, natural
manner. The rapid action of cathartic
remedies and purgatives that
shock the system should be avoided,
more especially as the relief they
offer is only temporary and is usually
more than offset by disturbances to
the vital organs caused by their viodent
action.
Nearly thirty years ago I)r. \Y. B.
v itmnfii, luouuceuo, in., prescribed
a compound of simple laxative herbs
that has since become the standard
household remedy in thousands of
nomes. It ads easily and gently,
yet wth positive effect, without griping
or other pain or discomfort. Mrs.
Rachel Allen, Galesburg, Kans., is
seventy-one years old, and after using
a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
l:epsin, wrote that it had done her a
world of good and that she intends
to keep it in the house always.
Druggists sell Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
"old liners" as simply so many sheep
to oe fleeced by someone.
On the subject of welcoming new
comers in the community The Salisbury
Evening Post gives U3 this
timely and valuable paragraph, which
we nvst heartily commend to the
considerate reader:
"A welcome for new citizens is
the proper thing. Every man and
woman and child coming to a town
ought to be g'vcn a cordial welcome
ir. some sem'-cfhcal ay. It is not
only the duty of the individual coming
in contact with the new comeis
to extend a welcome and make them
feel at home and among friends, but
in a more formal way they should
be made to know that the town bids
them w?>on,? and >I,?!es them *?e
fullest mttcj of t '(ess. Ho.v ?t,e
gets started in a new home r.a?
much to c.o with the future. It is
quite the proper thing to meet and
welcome new citizens into the community,
and having done this treat
them from day to day as though we
appreciate their coming and wi-,h
them well."
