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 j of all sexes and tongues and eolors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon Its altars." j TUESDAY, SEPT. 19, 1916 ? 1 Who will donate a site for a new modern up-to-date Library building? Don't all speak at once. o School days are good days, but we seldom realize it until they have (passed beyond our reach. o This world is populated with wise people, fools, and some others. And hut few know their class. o We wonder if our farmers realize the value of a split log drag, and that1 one costs only about three dollars. n i ? The average man never realizes the true worth of a good wife until ihe gets into it clear up to his neck. We heartily wish every family in this community owned an automobile. Then, perhaps, we might hope for good roads. o Between its mobilizing, and demobilizing. and remobilizing, there soon will be nothing left of Greece but the grease. o Confide in your wife. If you keep your business affairs from her in prosperity you can hardly expect her to understand your situation when adversity comes. o People who boosted prices on the strength of the strike are sailing right along under the happy delusion that the strike is in force. And we. as usual, are the goats. o Compulsory education has for its obje. t the education of the masses. It i- plain why some so-called statesmen oppose the measure. It means the r complete undoing. 0 Central Carranza wants the I'nited States to keep its army nut of Mexico. That's easy. All the Greasers have to do is to scrub their souls and then behave ihonnoi?M 0 A great deal has been said about (nev?onpers saving too much abou' people and things. The truth is. that there are too few of them which have backbone to say half enough. o We haven't a shadow of a doubt but that the agreement ultimately reached between the American and Mexican commissioners will go into history as just another "scrap of paper." o Mexican authorities insist that( Carranza has restored order and is enforcing law in that country. Of -course. And we expect soon to hear that Villa is teaching a Sunday school class. o With the tremendous amount of brains in evidence in this country it: is passing strange that we can not, marshal sufficient inventive genius to manufacture our own dye stuffsj and other commodities that are cut| off by the war in .Europe. We arej a great, people in some respects, but pigmies in others. o Some one mentioned the latest prize fight to us yesterday. But we didn't see it. didn t read about it. don't care to hear about It. It's just one continual fight in this office to i find a means and whereby we can I eat fhree meals a day and still keep < up with the leaps and bounds in the i price of print paper. ! ^^^^^%yrUp Oil the ' T No mutter what the high cost of the proposition, we still must continue tc^live or the price boosters will soon run out of victims. o ANYTHING TO IlKAT WiliSOX. At last tlie Republican party has pot an issue. It is the settlement of the strike. Following the vague hints of candidate Hughes, the GlobeDemocrat shrieks about the cowardice of President Wilson and Congress in passing the Adamson bill. It raves about "compulsion," the sacrifice of the "dignity and honor of the nation," the burial of the head of the American eagle in the sand, etc. Nothing could be more absurd than the Globe-Democrat's assump nun ui compulsion to <10 tnis tiling, regardless of right or wrong, except its amusing comparison of congressional action to avert a railroad strike with action to avert a strike of butchers or farmers. This is the finest sample of logic we have seen in a partisan newspaper. However, we have not the slightest doubt if the butchers combined to deprive the people of the United States of meat or the farmers com-| bined to deprive them of grain that Congress would act vigorously and effectively to keep the people from starving. If it didn't act we would like to hear the Globe-Democrat shriek. It would be an experience. If the President had not acted in this case; if the strike had taken place with an embargo on all traffic the shrieks from the partisan organs and anti-labor interests that are now howling about the cowardice of the President would have been deafening. In three days they would have wanted to mob the President and Congress for not taking action. When the embargo was declared the railroads, whose heads realized that they could not run their roads with the strike on; the business men and business organizations who bombarded the President with telegrams urging him to support the railroads, flooded the President and the Congress with telegrams urging them to avert or postpone the strike. If the strike bad occurred the flood of telegrams calling for governmental action would have been a Niagara in a week. Arbitration had failed, mediation had failed and the strike had been ordered before the President went to Congress with a program of legislation to avert it and settle all railroad labor controversies. He went with the plan he had decided was best just before the strike was ordered ?the plan he had ottered both parties to the controversy as just, which had bten accented hv the men ana -e jected by the railroads. After a strike like that with which the country was threatened has been averted it is easy to intimate that it would not have occurred or would not have amounted to much; it is easy when its disastrous consequences have been escaped to criticize the method of escape; to attack the men who took vigorous, swift action to save the public from the consequenees. Th s is the easiest thing in the world. Of course. President Wilson did an unpardonable thing from the standpoint of the Old Guard when he failed to humble himself before the railroad heads and do their ' bidding; when he failed to cat in the Wall street magnates and ask them to save the country at any price. He did an unpardonable thing when, re ognizing Congress as the supreme power in the country, he called upon it to take action to save the country without the aid of the big interests. In the Roosevelt panic of 1907, when stocks were crashing down, bankers were failing and money was locked up in strong boxes. President Roosevelt turned over the treasury hi i-firpom .uorgan and pave him a permit to violate the anti-trust laws in order to save the country. He defended his surrender of the government's power on the ground that it was necessaiV and he boasted of it as an act of a man of courage and resource. Republican organs defended his action. In the anthracite coal strike, after the country had suffered for five months and was in the throes of a coal famine, President Roosevelt Intervened and forced a settlement. That was courageous and proper? he was a Republican President. When President Wilson induces Congress to avert a strike threatened unparalleled national disaster by| passing a Just measure he is a J coward who betrays tH?*tS)untry?he is a Democrat. The partisan organs and voters who are criticizing President Wilson evidently hoped for a national calamity; they rsent its avoidance; out of calamity might come Republican tuccess. Anything to beat Wilson.? St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ft HE LANCASTER NEWStUE THE SYMPATHY OF FRIENDS. " To Woodrow Wilson, the man, in !this, his hour of sorrow, there goes out, with that of the nation, the sympathy of the people of his former home. To others he may be only President Wilson, but to Columbians ; he seems a neighbor and a friend, one whom they know and would honor. And it is to this man that their sympathies are extended today. To the president of the United States kings and emperors may ex I wild (omr uuuuuieucBi anioassaaors and envoys the token of sympathy, but only those who feel the bonds of one time neighborhood and old association can really share the sorrow that has come to Woodrow Wilson. The claims of Woodrow Wilson on l the esteem of his countrymen can be confined to no one section, but j they can be. and are. most strongly recognized and most freely acknowledged in the South, the land of his nativity, and especially in South Carolina, the State which had so much to do with the molding of his youthful character. And this is nowhere more to be noted than in Coi lumbia, whore sleep his father and mother: where lives the memory of those parents whose training has been reflected in the life of the son. So, when President Wilson is here tomorrow, on a mission of sorrowing tribute, to him will go out the sympathies of those who regard I themselves not only as constituents who honor tlie head of their republic with formal meed of admiration, but as friends who can feel with him in his loss of a loved one who so long made her home among them.?
