Dno year jm.ov Six Months 75c "Let reverence for laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let It be taught in schools, 1.1 seminaries and colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let It be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed In legislative halls, and enforced in eouitj of Just'ce. 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." TUESDAY, FEB. 15, 1916 Weather forecast for South Carolina: Fair Tuesday and Wednesday. There is need of a thorough spring cleaning here and Lancastrians should get busy with it. + Lancaster has not forgotten the proposed creamery routes. We need them and should have them. ? This is a mighty good time to be planning your crop rotation l/il* tlio iron," r1 (Iiui/lov llio Knll weevil and plan wisely. + Let's make our '91() Field Day a memorable event. To this end everybody's help must be enlisted. + Although majority leader in the House of Representatives. Congressman Kitchin may be minority leader in his race for reelection. 4> What has become of the hosp ital proposition? The need is too urgent for unnecessary delay. Won't somebody report progress in this matter? .+ Now is a good time to enter upon that spring advertising campaign. It's not too early to tell the people what vou have to ' Bdll. + Let no other consideration overshadow Lancaster's need of !u public library. Every good citizen should be ready and willing \o help us secure it. Ignorance has been said to be the costliest th*n<r in a'l th^ world but ihe lawmakers of South Carolina will not see i* that way. If they did, they would supply the remedy, compulsory education. As it is poor South Caroline must struggle on under its heavy burden of illiteracv. * There is general approval <>' the city council's attitude towards the blind tigers. Because of the aggressive action which, resulted in the conviction of the first several cases tried, manv of those arrested wisely conclud? ' to plead guilty. Again we wish to commend most heartily the decision the new. council to make an end of this illegal traffic. + The election of R. Goodwin Rhett of Charleston to the pre sidency of the National Chamber of Commerce, is a distinct compliment to the ability of Mr. Rhett and an honor to his state. Mr. Rhett is a man of unusual attainments, peculiarly fitted for this position, which he will doubtless fill with credit to himself, his state and the association. + . Hon. W. F. Stevenson nppreciatess the value of advertising to further his candidacy for Congress and patronizes the newspapers liberally. He uses me columns or every paper in the fifth district cheerfully paying the rate each charges. "And I haven't found a hog among the publishers," he says. Other men in politics might with profd make such an investment and begin in time as Mr. Stevenson has done by telling the people early in the campaign* how hr stands on important questions. JUDGE ERNEST MOO The Lexington Dispat last week contains the fol editorial in praise of Ernest Moore' of Lar which will be appreciate his hontefolks: Judge Ernest Moore imp everyone as being a man highest and purest mot ever trying to get at the truth and justice, in ever that comes before him. B Judge Moore knows the la he knows how to tell it to so that ordinary menlaymen can understand, just and fair in all of h ings, even though you rm fer with him on certain ] yet there is that impi manner about him whicr cannot but admire and Lexington is glad to have Moore to preside over her for, with such a man 01 bench, miscarriages of ; will not often carrv. + A SAFE LEADER. Because he advocates structive measures, whetl not they are popular, b< he has seen fit to serve the rather than further his political ends. Governor ning has won the approv all fair-minded people. Th preciate his efforts to pr the welfare of South Cs and they are going to sta him. To those who put s ity before policy, honest; fore self-seeking and serv his people above political r ment the things he has for seem worth tOV. Manning is not the ernor of any class or set o but has dared to administi laws in the interest of the ] as a whole.
