Cl'KIOUS
There are many very carious things j
in this world. And many curious
things are being done in this day of
rapid changc and quick transition.
The president of the United States has
taken three or four opposite positions
on the war situatiDn
I
since -a stae of war was declared
at his demand, but then consistency
is not one of his predominating
traits, and more than that, we pre
I
eume, one is not supposed to be consistent
in this day of such rapid transitions.
The most curious thing to our
mind is that while the head of the
#nBat Roman Catholic church is
Jwvn/linfr Ms PTlftreies to bring the WOrld I
_
to peace, and stop this awful slaugli-1
ter that is going on im the world to -1,
day, the ministers of the protestant ,
Christian churches are going about
over this State making speeches to
create a war sentiment among our
i
people, and "clerically" cussing about
! *
It. I>r. Lee Davis Lodge down ax
prosperity the other day in his im1
passioned war speech said he "be
HHlldamned" something, we do not
Just recall what or whom he was
mussing, but we suppose it must have
been the kaiser, and he said that a
4
clerical friend of his told him that
4
"was the clerical way in which to cuss. '
We believe that Dr. Lodge is a min- *
ister. We know that Dr. Crane who
spoke at Jolly Street is a minister.
And ordinarily a fine fellow.
And Dr. Cromer and Dr. Snyder j
' 0
are near ministers. Dr. Snyder Is'
i 3
now the president of a Christian col-1
1 ?
lese and" Dr. Crome use to be. And
they are making war speeches. {
And the governor of the State bor- ^
rowing $15,000 for the Council of j c
Defense to send men over the State
i
to create a war sentiment. That's ^
' <mrious to us. And the truth is we
^ did not aeed any such preaching io!
this county. Our people have not
foiled in their, duty as yet. We did
? ?r part and more than they asked
* ' r - <
*g to do when the sale of Liberty (
Bonds was on. We Hid our part and |
?ore when the call came for the Red
Cross. We did not want war and we
do not want it now. Nobody *3 1
t
clamoring for war hereabouts, nor
h
has any one been clamoring, except j
*? -? who are not;
'it be a iew " 1V1
going to do any fighting and who hare JJ
^ . no one that is rery near that will do
any. But our people have not failed
in their duty in any respect and wer
just kinder resent the idea that this :
war council or rather, council of de- 1
fease bad in mind when it was given ^

wrong, that if the council of defense 11

lias no other more important work to (

better be spent some other way and the!:

curious to us. t1

could If he would stop this war right!
now. It is an awful responsibility
that is his. And another curious
thing to ns is that after making that
great speech in which h% said he ^
wanted peace without victory and
without indemnity and without an-j
nexation he should now say that
peace was impossible without annexatio*
and without indemnity and that ^
?rerBaaijy misTiife'crtotttT* It *fe a lit- '
i
i
tie curious to us that we shouio do- j
I
sire or undertake to have anything to
do with slicing up that part of tliej
world among the nations. We know
such interference contrary to the
i
old doctrine on which this government
was founded and for which our for-!
bears fought.
Another curious thing to us is that
the editor of The State and the editor;
of The Record should be such terri-;
tie warriors, and should do so lictiel
real fighting, or make any effort to1
do any. j
Another curious thing to us is some!
nf thp illustrations that some of!
these war orators use in making their!
appeals for the creation of a war sen-j
timent.
Another curious thing to us is that
the Columbia Record has just discovered
why we are in this war. "For,
henceforth, we will be in the war to'
avenge the suffering of American soldiers
following the American flag
under orders from an lAmerican congress."
Pity we had to kill and wound
our boys to find out why we are in
this war. But then there are many
curious things in this curious age of
the world in which we live.

We heard a few of the remarks of
^ne of the speakers at the Lire Stock
isociation. at Prosperity. We understood
he iras talking about the boll j
weevil. It's the first we have heard
)f the old gentleman in some time.
1
Fhis speaker advises the farmers .
J
iirst to grow enough food and feed- ]
nn tha farm to do the farm and
iien grow all the cotton you can re- ,
jardless of^ the old man. That is j
;he most sensible remark we have i
*eard from any of the boll weevil oritors,
when the weevil was in the
imelight. But it is the advice The ^
lerald and News has been giving for <
;0 years. Except we sad grow all
our food and supplies and then grow ?
>11 the cotton you can regardles of i
he price. The farmer in this sec- *
ion who follows this plan will al- j
vays make some money. And the all j
:otton planter rarely does make any!
noney after his expenses are met.i 1
i
3ut this gentleman also said that the
fermers as a rule were not going to (
ike the advice of any one but were \
joing on planting cotton nntil the ]
joll weevil actually arrired and put
:otton out business and that is about j
correct (
We notice that #ur governor says i
that the time is not yet here for peace.
That we can not trust Germany and
that we must go on fighting. We suppose
he means that we must fight and
kill even if the terms were such as I
would be honorable to all the na-!
i
fions. The question we would like j
for him to answer will we hen any;
more able or in any better positiontoj
I
trust Germany after we have killed a
few more millions ot men.
