Don't all speak at once.

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.

The average man never realizes
the true worth of a good wife until

We heartily wish every family in
this community owned an automobile.
Then, perhaps, we might hope
for good roads.

Between its mobilizing, and demobilizing.
and remobilizing, there
soon will be nothing left of Greece

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.

Central Carranza wants the I'nited

That's easy. All the Greasers

and then behave ihonnoi?M

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. !

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.?

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.?
