AN APOLOOY. lt is not very often that we inflict upon our readers an apology for tho appearance of The Courier. Thld week, however, we feel that au apol ogy is due. This issue will not bo ui> to standard by any means. This is due, owing to illness, to the una voidable absence this week from tho otllce of Fred. A. II. Schroder, one of thc members of the firm, and tho one who has been the mainstay o'* the mochantes] department. Ile ts one of tile best linotype operators iii the State, and his absence is equiv alent lo striking from our Tone live? men. His work with the linotype fully equaled the work ol' llvo men si lting type tty lund, as under the old system of composition on news papers. Last Friday Mr. Schroder suffered a sudden attack while at work in his accustomed place in tho oiibe. Ho came to work "not feeling quite np to standard," as ho expressed it. hut rein-lined on duty in spite of Olli urging that tie go to his home und awatl developments resting and cur ing for himself. Uv noon he was scarcely able to slay at tho ?'tice, bul ho remained, hoping tho attack was a passing illness from indiges tion or oilier minor cause. About I o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Schroder announced that ho would be forced lo give up, and he left for home about ."? o'clock. Since that timi" he has been confined to his bed. Ile is suffering from p ll eu mo ll i a, though it is hoped that his con dition is not serious. Until his return to The Courier office we ask a full measure of inn sideral ion at the hands ot' our read ers. Alter eight years ol' almost "total abstinence" from tho linotype keyboard there is but small result from Hie manipulation of tho'keys. Hut wo are improving, and by next week we think we can promise a nearer approach to the usual stand ard of The. ('ourler. For the present, however, certain details in tho business management will of necessity have to 1)0 neglect?;?! or left untouched. Delays will In; unavoidable. We ask that our friends be pa lion t, TALKING PEACE. There is talk of pence on all sides now, and lt may bo that the talk will lead to peace af a time less distal.t than wo have been' hoping for. Bul garia's unconditional surrender has proven moro disconcerting to tho Central Howers than we had sup posed it would, being followed very closely by direct suggestions from both Austria and Turkey that they, too, are not only ready, but anxious to discuss peace. Germany herself ls the latest one to make a move In tho direction of peace, having within thc past few days signified Itel doslre to enter ne gotiations for a oossatlon of hostil ities, and suggesting a general armis tice Yet >ve scarcely think that (lor many oxpeetod that her suggestions would meet with favorable consid eration at tho hands of the Allies. She knows that the Oerman rulers aro discredited tho world ovor to day, anti that something more sub stantial than mere words must Un in ovldenco before moro than tho most casual interest will attach to her words. Tho written utter ances pf German statesmen to-day aro viowod much in the light of mere "scraps of paper," and their spoken wordB aro not received with over confidence even among the common poople of the Cern?an ICmplro. The latest Gorman move toward peate. lt is true, carries willi lt Hie accept ance of the peace base framed hy President Wilson himself, yet there is lacking the essential feature of the President's1 written declaration that we and the Allies are ready lo deal directly with tho people of Germany, hut not with tho masters who have ruled them with iron hand for all th eso years. Our opinion is worth no more than that of any Other man. but it is our firm belief that the Allies and the government of the United States will never consent to talk peace until tho head of the nation is a man of tho peoplo, chosen by the people lo represent them, and until such limo as the Hohenzollern family shall havo been shorn of all power in gov ernmental affnlrs. ' At any rato thore will be no let-up in tho prosecution of tho war until Germany comes unconditionally to tho terms laid down by Mr. Wilson and accepted by Hie Allies as their . own. Tho Allies havo treated willi tho Hohonzollorns for tho last timo. And we on our part must continue to bo prepared for every and any eventuality. Our mon must continue to train for service, and our money must flow steadily Info the nation's war chest. Let us not bo deluded by fair speech from tho Gorman rul ers as to peace proposals. Wo will stand ever ready to moot pcrma nont peace proposals when they are backed by that earnost desire that suggests to thc German people the wisdom of throwing themsel?es on tho mercy of the civilized nations that have been forced into war with ; her to preserve freedom to all the j peoples of the earth. AITF.R HI'M ?AV VIOLATORS. lt has boon most gratifying indeed ! to Tho Courier, to the municipal j authorlales of Walhalla and to elli Kens generally lo note the almost j total absence of automobiles on the ? streets during the past two Sun days, At the beginning of the per- j loti for refraining from the use of automobiles on the Sabbath for non essential trips and for pleasure driv ing the results locally were very doubtful. Numerous cars were . on tho streets, obviously for pleasure alone. Til? authorities, however, went to work in a manner commend ably quiet, and tho result has been most satisfactory. Last Sunday it was noted that there was an almost total absence of cars of any kind on the streets. How much better this voluntary compliance with a reasonable re quest than to have forced tho local authorities to take action. Over in (Ireenville, however, lt has proven very different. Tho citizens of that city finally became so exasperated at the flagrant disregard of the govern ment's request that a mass meeting was held and a body of citizens ap peared before the city council and secured the passage of an ordinance making the disregard of tho govern ment's request a misdemeanor, pun ishable j ii st as mtv other violation of law. Wo congratulate the citizens of Greenville and tho Greenville city gove mn* en I upon tho linn stand they have taken. This is no time for trilling with or ignoring governmen tal requests or demands. Our offi cials know what is needed for the vigorous prosecution of Hie war.and ? when a request is made il should be complied with readily and without; hes!I at ion. SIGN VOl lt NA.MK. This week we are again Torced to 11 throw into the waste basket several communications-some of them that we would like very much to print because tho writers tailed to sign their names. We do not want the name of the writer for publication. That is ab solutely Immaterial to us. Hut. as we have said many times, we must publish the matter. Of course, il it gives any one a degree of pleasure to write, with the full knowledge that what lias been jotted down will ho kept by us a profound secrot, good and well. lt doesn't lake us very long to throw tho sheets Into the waste basket. We make this suggestion, how ever: Save the money thus wasted on ordinary postage stamps and buy a Thrift Stamp now and then. PKFSIDIONT WILSON HLPLIF.S. On Tuesday after noon President Wilson replied to the Connan note regarding an armistice and peace conferences. His reply was brief, hut as is customary with Mr. Wil son, to tho point. There can be no talk oven about an armistice until the German armies are withdrawn from all invaded soil. He then wants to know whether the Chancel lor acts for the German people or for tho Kaiser and his war lords, who aro conducting the war. Also whe ther the (?orinan government accepts the fourteen terms stated by him last January outright, and not as a basis of negotiations looking to peace.
