Should Keep Out C Sacrifice of AI Confidential Address at Gri Out by Consent?Ashamei to be a Coward? Unitec Principle of Human Lit Washington, Feb. 27.?President t'vYil\ son told members and guests at a Gridi iron clul) dinner last night that America I ought to keep out of the European war A "at the sacrifice of everything except A this single tiling upon which her character and her history are founded?her sense of humanity and justice." The address was confidential, since the speeches at the dinners of the Gridiron club, composed of newspaper cor respondents, are not reported. It was inade public tonight, however, with the consent of the president and the club, because many of those who heard it urged that it should go to the country. The president spoke of the nation's affairs with unusual gravity. His hearers, including several hundrd members of congress, government officials, business men and correspondents, were brought to their feet cheering when he concluded with these words: "I would be just as much ashamed to be rash as I would to be a coward. Valor is self-respecting. Valor is circumspect. Valor strikes when it is right to SiriKe. \ aior IS wiuiuuiuing nscu from all small implications and entanglements and waits for the great opportunity when the sword will flash as if it carried the light of heaven upon its blade." In his address he said: SILENT UNLESS SOMETHING IS STATRED. "I have very little to say tonight except to express my warm appreciation of the invariable courtesy of this club and of the reception you have so gen erouslv accorded me. I find that I am seldom tempted to sy anything nowadays unless somebody starts something and tonight nobody has started anything. "Your talk. Mr. Toastmaster, lias been a great deal about candidacy for the presidency. It is not a new feeling on my part, but one which I entertain with a greater intensity .than formerly, that a man who seeks the presidency of the United States for anything that it will bring him is an audacious fool. The responsibilities of the ofFce ought to sober a. man even before he approaches it. One of the difficulties of the office seltlom appreciated, I dare say. is that it is verv difficult to think while so manv people are talking; particularly while so many people are talking in a way that obscures counsel and is entirely off the point. PRINCIPLE OF LIBERTY AND HUMANITY. "The Doint in national affairs, eren tlemen, never lies along the lines of expediency. It always tests in the field of principle. The United 'States was not founded upon any principle of expediency; it was founded upon a profound principle of human liberty and of humanity. and whenever it bases its policy upon any other foundations than those it builds on the sand and not upon solid rock. It seems to me that the most enlightening thing a man can do is suggested by somethHT which the vice president said tonight He complained that he found men who, when their attention was called to the signs of spring, clid not see the blue heaven, did not see the movement of tree clouds, did not think of the great spaces of the quiet continent, but thought only of some immediate and pressing piece of business. "It seems to me that if vou do not think of the things that lie beyond and away from and disconnected from this scene in which we attempt to think and conclude you will inevitably be led astray. I would a great deal rather k?ow what they are talking about around quiet firesides all over this country than what they are talking about in RE POUT OF SOLICITORS. INDICATE CHANGE OF SE\TIMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Columbia, Feb. 28.?That the sentiment of the people of the State has undergone a great change in favor of the ^ntorcement or law is clearly Shown by an examination of the reports of the solicitors, as contained in the report of the attorney general to the general assembly. During 1914. 2,59 r cases were reported. Of this number there was a total of 1.634 convictions, or 63 per cent. During 1915 a total of 3,210 cases were reported, with 2.121 convictions, or 66 per cent. The increase in cases brought to trial in 1915 over 1914 is 619, or 24 per cent. This increase in the number o? cases brought to trial is accounted for L )/* War At I Except Humanity diron Club Saturday Given i to be Rash as Much as i / States Founded Upon herty and of Humanity. > tl.c cloakrooms of congress. j WOULD HEAR THE COMMON' PEOPLE. | "I would a great deal rather know ' what the men on the trains and by the j wayside and in the shops and on thi i ; farms are thinking about and yearning ' for than hear any of the vociferou:* proclamations of policy which it is s<j easy to hear and so easy to read by j I picking up any scraps of printed paper, j i There is only one way to hear these j | things, and that is constantly to go j ; back to the fountains of American i j action. j "Senator Harding was saying just ! now that we ought to try when we are a hundred million strong to act in the I same simplicity of principle that our i forefathers acted in when we were 3>~ | 000,000 strong. I heard somebody say I that the present population of the United ! States is 103.000,000. If there are 3.-j ; 000,000 thinking the same thing that that I 3,000.000 thought, the 100,000.000 would [ be saved for an illustrous future. They were ready to stake everything for an idea, and that idea was not expediency, l but iustice. And the infinite difficulty | Y * of public affairs, gentlemen, is to square i the things you do by the not simple, hut complicated, standards of justice. Justice has nothing to do with any temporary standard whatever. It is roited and groundel in the fundamental instincts of humanity. SHOULD KEEP OUT OF WAR. "America ought to keep out of this | war. She ought to keep out of this war J at the sacrifice of everything except this single thing upon which her character and history are founded, her sense of humanity and justice. If she sacrifices that, she has ceased to be America : she has ceased to entertain and to love the traditions which have made us proud to be Americans, and when we go 1 about seeking safety at the expense of i humanity, then I for one will believe that I have been mistaken in what I have conceived to be the spirit of American history. , "You never can tell your direction except by long measurements. You cannot establish a line by two posts; you have got to have three at least to know whether they are straight with | anything, and the longer your line the more certain your measurement. There is only one way in which to determine how the future of the United States ic o-nincr tr> hp nroiertfrl and that is bv I t J - looking back and seeing which way the lines ran which led up to the present moment of power and of opportunity. '.AMERICAN ROLL OF HONOR. The American roll of honor, the president said, consists only of the names of men who have "squared their conduct by ideals of duty." "And I wish," he added, "that whenever an impulse to settle a thing some short ways tempts us we might close the door and take down some old stories of what American idealists and statesmen did in the past and not let any counsel in that does not sound in the auI thentic voice of American tradition. I Then we shall be certain what the lines [ of the future are because we shall know we are steering by the lines of the past. We shall know that no temporary convenience. no temporary expediency, will j lead us either to be rash or to be cow! ardly. I would be just as much I ashamed to be rash as I would to be ; a coward. Valor is self-respecting. Valor j is circumspect. Valor strikes only when [ it is right to strike. Valor withholds ; itself from all small implications and ! entanglements and waits for the great i ! opportunity when the sword will flash as j j if it carried the light of heaven upon , its blade.' ( by reason of the tact that the peace oftiI cers of the State have been encouraged 1 1*1 their work tor the enforcement ot the law. because of the fact that they were backed up in their work by public sentiment., which sentiment was expressed in the election of Governor Manning, who. during his campaign expressed his determination to enforce all laws. The governor has made it clear to the officers that he will back them up in the performance of their duties in enforcing the laws. That the governor has made good his ! promise to enforce the law. is clearlv ; shown in the reports from the solicitors. ' The increase in the number of cases ; brought to trial, and the convictions ; had. do not indicate more violations of ; law. but rather that the violators are \ certain of punishment under the pres, administration.

One of the latest additions to the list of leaders of thought and action who have come forward with their unquali- j lied endorsement of Tanlac is the name, of Hon. Frank V.

Dr. King's New DisKNOW WHAT FERTILIZERS ARE WORTH WHEN YOU BUY i Progressive Farmer. 'No man would buy pigs without knowing whether he was baying two or three, yet hundreds of men will buy fertilizers without knowing whether it conf 1 tains 2 or 3 per cent of nitrogen?two or three pounds of nitrogen in a bun* ( dred pounds of fertilizer. Or if they read the guarantee and see the per cent, j of nitrogen it contains, many do not | know what it means. They would not buy two pigs and pay $20 for them when they could buy three pigs of the same size and quality for considerably less than $30; but they will pay $20 for a fertilizer when they could buy one containing a half more plant foods for I much less than $30. Many are confused because they cannot understand why they should buy a ton of 2-8-2 fertilizer for instance, and only get 240 pounds of plant foods. They know that when they buy a pig that weighs 200 pounds they do not get 200 pounds of meat they can eat. L'hey cannot eat the bones, hair and many other parts which go to make up the 200 pounds of the pig when alive. We know we cannot get good lean pork to eat without taking the parts which cannot be eaten, because pigs do not grow that way. Likewise we cannot buy nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash without taking along with t-hes plant foods other materiale that are useless. The fault is no more in the fertilizer manufacturer than in the man who sells the live pig. It is simply that nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash do not exist in salable form in the pure state, and therefore cannot be bought without buying the useless materials mixed with them. When fillers are used it is not usually the fault of the manufacturer, but because the buyers demand a low grade, cheap product. That is, they are not willing to buy three pigs for $26, but insist on ^ying two pigs, instead, for $20.

Sit down at once and write your state agricultural college and the Office of Publications, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Then, as soon as the list is received, go over it and check off those publications dealing with your own particular form problems and send in your order for them at once.- ^ You can order direct yourself, if you prefer; but better satisfaction and more dispatch are sometimes obtained by ordering through a United States senator or a representative in Congres. ?The Progressive Farmer. HIGH SCHOOL SUSPENDS EXERCISES FOR TWO WEEKS On account of three cases of scarlet fever among the children of the high school the board of health on Thursday morning orderd that the school suspend for two weeks. And the board requests that the parents of the children who have been in the school keep the children at home so as to prevent the spread of the disease. We understand that the first case devloped about a week ago, but the board of health did not know of it until Thursday, though the health officer had the case quaran tined as soon as he knew of it. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. The parents should cooperate with the health officer and the board of health in this matter. Subscribe to The Herald and NeT/s,
