And In short, let It become the poltlcal religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and th*? poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon Its altars." FRIDAY, FEB. 11, Weather forecast for South Carolina: Fair Friday and Saturday; not much change in temperature. It is not too ' arly to agitate a cV m up v." 1* Does your school practice the fire drill? If not. find out why. "The 1 11 ^"jcrs must go." says Mayor Jones and he is hastening their departure. We need more good roads and it is also important to maintain those already built. + Justice Hughes says "I am entirely out of politics," which to settle it as far as the justice is concerned. + Let a hospital and a public library both be built in Lancaster. Rome want one and say the other can wait. Rut both can be had and should be had promptly. + Some people have nothing better to do than knock the administration, national annd state but Wilson and Manning are good enough for us. + Congressman Kitchin of North Carolina may not believe in preparedness but he "ill have need of it when he goes back to his district for reelection next summer. x Two quarts of whiskey or five dozen bottles of beer each month is what the state senate thinks is enough for anybody's personal use. So do we and we hope the house of representatives will agree with us and the senate. :?+ We congratulate the senate on passing the bill to reduce the quantity of liquor that may be ordered each month, from a gallon to two quarts.,A reduction to one quart would have been better but the half gallon reduction is not to be depised and it is a step in the right direction. Representative Ma.in of-'TV linois, the Republican floor leader of the lower House of Congress, is starting up like a patriot in support of President Wilson's preparedness plan. Tc a decent speech he said, "This if not the time for crimination 01 or recriminantion." It is not thr time to find fault with thai which has been. It is time roi all to join h mds for that which may cm- e." But where was Hon ( laude Kitchin.

I We congratulate the new city council on their determination Fac to do away with blind tigers in; o Lancaster. They are evidently dead in earnest and are going 1 I at the matter with gloves off, bui which is the only way to handle Ne blind tigers. This was demonst- bui rated during the administration mil of Ex-Mayor W. T. Gregory, who tw< by aggressive action succeeded i a in convincing more than any j previous or succeeding admini- a 1 stration. We believe that public wit sentiment in Lancaster is behind the mayor and aldermen mc we hope to see every tiger, both ed. white and black, put out of i lun business. A good start has been cor made. j * Jol WHERE DO YOU STAND? Cn In the direct, convincing man- Jol ner so characteistic of The | Wi State, that excellent journal puts , liai the question of lynching square- , Jof ly up to the Christian people of an< South Carolina. This editorial, i"The Challenge of the Church" het we herewith quote in full and J. : we ask that every reader of The Ro News give it a careful reading: Sal William A. Guerry, bishop of Jei the Episcopal diocese of South I * Carolina, speaking to a thou- we ! sand men assembled in the lay- G. men's missionary convention last sor | Monday night, declared that un- Tof less, the Christianity of South r,n< Carolina was strong enough to J?1 put down lynching within the 1 State it could not hope to he offective in the evangelizing of the (jrc world. There was no mistaking 'ar 1-i-s language. Tie was explicit. ' ,Te made it ] lain that murder l y th< mob was murd0** al horet t< Christianity though the proVocation were the "unmention hie crime." "I stand," ho said, v,? 'ror Christianity that stands for the enforcement of law." 'n11 The challenge is clear. It f', rings throughout South Caro- "j lina. For the "enforcement of ' LAW." for the punishment of crime though it be the "tinmen- I'1!* tionable crime." and for the ' 1 condemnation of the lyncher and ' u his excuser and apologist this '.,l1 preacher of Christ points to his :,c Master as authority. Dare any mar. in South Carolina defend lynching for anv 4 e, crime in the name of Jesus ? 4. i Christ? 'f' Where is he? atlJ Dare any man in South Caro- ] lina stand for a Chistianity that ! does not stand for the enforce- , . ment of' LAW? ! DeJ, Where is he? Christian men .of South Caro- p.V. lina cnn not serve two masters. ^ South Carolina can not be half Christian and half heathen. To . these assembled Christian citi- ? . zen? Bishop Guerry spoke for , no denomination or sect. For Lac Methodist, Presbyterian. Bap- >lV tist. Lutheran, Catholic and Ep- , . icopalian preacher, priest and 1 lr laymen he spoke in the name of ,' their common Lord and his re- * c?' llgion. Tn the church of Christ t, ] there c n be no division, no ^ ism. about this matter. All. till who speak openly in 1 j the name of the Christ spo\k ( for the upholding of the la<v OJ-' end against the mob. ' i The chnl'enge is plain. Shall ? '( South Carolina he Christian or ' pagan? The stand o! the , * church. of the b? therhood of " , Cli'.istifin l'V i vUh th tie-: ^je nominational differences cast ' . aside and fovgdtten, against lynching and lynchers, is proclaim ed by this Christian leader a'M .> among Christian men there is * none to say him nay. y Who condones the murder by . , ithe mob, who stands against en- - ? . >fercement of law, though he fx call himself "Christian" in fact . cries aloud to Baal and Baal is .. his god. , ; "And Elijah came UNTO ALL p,a , THE PEOPLE, and said. How long halt ye between two opin- i.,n j ;ons? If the Lord be God, follow') him; hut if Baal, then follow ? . him." It is quite clear that Governor Manning is bent more on pro- f, moting the welfare of South 3 Carolina than in rewarding he; \ i tends or punishing his enemies j He has made mistakes? Yes, he 2 ' made them and what official ' In* not? But nobody can quess h;s sincerity and high nur no e to scj ve the nt?te.
