TUESDAY, FEB. 1. 1916. Local rains and colder Tuesday in interior and Tuesday on the coast; Wednesday fair, colders. What did you do for Lancaster during January? Start February right by giving willing service to your town. + "Wilson wants millions for defence but not one penny for offence," says the Anderson Intelligencer. + When the boii-weevil comes, we neea not inquire now mucn cotton you have planted, for your face will tell the stroy. 4* ? Think of what the canning clubs are going to do for Lancaster county. Home demonstration is a very practical thing. 4 We may not feel capable of entering into the more difficult phases of community work, but i there are some things all of us can do. Find out your part and do it cheerfully. + In order that law and order may be enforced, it is necessary that offenders be brought to justice. This must come through due process of law, however, and not through the individual or the mob. + "And where is the old fashioned girl who used to knit socks for the Belgians?" asks The State. She is now engaged in the charitable work of soliciting contribu tions to the Jewish relief fund. * What a pity it is that nonessentials claim the attention of our legislators to the exclusion of the real needs of the state. Instead of compulsory school attendance we are given every other sort of legislation. + If you are not an active factor in the development of this section, why are you here? Are you merely existing because of what the workers have done for you 9 If so, wake up and do your part. Some frail mortals are content to exist but men with red blood in their veins prefer to live. Night schools, maintained at the cost of a little self-sacrifice on the part of the teachers, have proved a blessing here and wherever they have been tried. Is there not to be found in every community some one who will serve his fellows by leading them to the light? + The nomination of Mr. Louis D nf Rrwtnn Vnr Pmai dent Wilson for the vacancy ort the supreme court created by the death of Justice Lamar, was a distinct shock to the politicians in both parties. It is thought that confirmation of the appointment by the senate will be delayed for some time. if it is confirmed at all. Senator Tillman is pleased with the nomination and predicts that the senate will confirm it. Mr. Brandeis is a Jew. and a man of crreat lejarnl attainments, but the opposition to him is not because of his nationality, but appears to be on account of his attitude heretofore in the matter of the trusts and combines. This, of course is aprainst him. We believe that Mr. Brandeis will add strength to the United States supreme court, and hope that he will be confirmed. *' vft i C 1 !^TYr'iTtrvn-?K I 3OlCt *tO< !C<C SCItfrH FROM OTHER PAPERS. ->:-:-:-:tH-:-vx The Legislative Way.
