MODERATION IN THE NEED

The crowd on the deck of the
thronged* excursion ship rushes en
thusiastically to the rail to-watch the
vessel passing to starboard. The
ship lists again and the crowd
fights its way back from danger.
And so forth, to eternity. We are
forever rushing to starboard o'- lar
board for a better view' of the pas;
ing show and as constantly our ex
cesses are rocking the boat.
Before tne war,we were the most
extravagant people on the face of
the earth. We all crowded to the
rail'lo see the show-. Then came the
war and the ship began to list. The
crying need was to save—to save
every dollar, every pound of sugar,
every loaf of bread. Pulpit, plat
form and press combined to preach
the necessity. We saved. Had we

gree of persistence that marked our
warfare effort, the ship would have
listed again; many legitimate busi
ness' enterprises would have suffer

to list. As soon as we had peace all

wildly enthusiastic to see the more
entertaining sights. As a people foi
a year we have been spending with
an abandon never quite approximat
ed. It is no wonder that many s
warning voice is heard calling the
nation from danger.
. It is because of the inclination of
people to go to extremes that lead
era of public thought usually talk in
extremes. By radical counsel they
ehek to balance extreme actions and
tendencies and strike a happy mean.
So it happens that very little of the
advice given is applicable to every
tone.
Thus, while most people today need
to bo urged to save, there are some
rwho are now saving to the limit of
ability and beyond the limit dictated
by wisdom. They need to be urged
to spend wore. ,
A preacher might appear before
two congregations in the same day,
oue a deeply pious audience and the
other a worldly, thoughtless group.
} He might tell the first that the
er/oatest need Is for men to spend
less time with their Bibles and more
time with their v fellowmen. He
might tell the second that the great
est need is for men to spend more
time w-ith their Bibles and leas time
In teaming the ways of their fel
lows.
And in both cases he would be
hoVisis^ent.
The truth would probably be that
the need is for all men to attend
equally to the spiritual and the ma
terial. Yet ho might feel that such
(Pfeachraerl would fail to reach the
mark with either congregation.
It is worth while occasionally to
take stock of one’s self. It serves
he same purpose as applying the
brakes to an nutomobile when ap
proaching a curve. We will usually
find that we are running to ex
tremes.
The antofst never knows how fast
be is going until he is called upon to
stop suddenly.
Of course, It is not nearly so ex
citing to remain in the cabin as it is
to join in the rand rush to the rail—<
but it’s a lot safer.
Joseph C. Grew of Boston, who
lias been appointed United States
Minister to Denmark, is one of a not
too large number of his countrymen
who may be hektd upon as a diplo
matist by profession ana training.
For, after graduation from Harvard
University, in 1902, and a period o£
extensive travel in Europe and in
Asia, he entered the American con
sulate at Cairo as a clerk, and, after
two years’ service, was transferred
to the United States embassy in Mex
j-’O City, passing from there to Pe :
trOgrad, and frofli then on the Berlin
where, from 1908 to 1911, he had
secretarial duties. Then he waq sec
retary of the embassy in Vienna, in
1912 he returned to Berlin as first
secretly of embassy and was station
ed there when the war caused the
severance of diplomatic relations.
With the close of tbe war his abili-,
ties were given further official recog
nition in his appointment as secre
tary of the American Peace Mission.

the unwanted slacker that Bergdoll—•
irtipervious to sliaino as he has been
—begged for a solitary cell.
And yet Bergdoll is “wanted;”want
ed for just , one purpose,-and that is
to. complete his term in prison and
live thereafter a life of obloquy—a
breathing reminder of the hard but
just fate that America bequeaths to
traitors. The crime for which Berg
doll -was trier] is punishable by death.
But Bergdoll will live, and the longer
he lives the longer will be the lesson
an <ithe stronger the warning to those
cravens who in future would emulate
liis example. By such lessons are
nations cleansed and made heart-
whole.
And lest we focus too intently our
vision on Grover Cleveland Bergdoll
the reminder may be timely that he
stood not alone. There are, In fact,
by official government count, 172,911
others besides him who have been
filling their lungs with the free air’
tbry refused to help keep free, and
now that the hour of retribution ap
proaches, are invoking the protection
of the. fireside institutions their lack
of manhood sent others to d*?fend.
Those supplications, pathetic as
they are, must lie in vain. The Berg
doll finding is an Impressive begin
ning. But it is a beginning only.

Columbia, April 5.—Secretaries of
all Chambers of Commerce In South

the securing for South Carolina of the
proposed branch of tbe Richmond
