Dillon, S. t\. April I. It)IN. NO SKINS OK KAItl.Y I'K.tt i.. ? The news from tlie front for the past few days has been reassuring. The German advance has been checked, but the Teuton has yielded very little conquered territoryla many quarters the opinion is advanced that last week's battle was the beginning of the end?that Germany had staked her all on this great drive and lost?that it was the Gettysburg of the world-wide war. This may be true. Lee staked his all when he threw legions of soldiers against Meade's lines at Gettysburg and for a while the fortunes of the republic hung in the balance. If Pickett's charge had been successful the history of this great nation would hare been written along different laics. But although Lee was repulsed he was not beaten. With the remnant ol a ragged array ne ieu ouck iu?aiu Richmond and it was months ufterwards before lie surrendered. While history may be repealing itself in the German drive, still it ruust be borne in mind that a vast difference exists between the halfstarved and poorly equipped soldiers of the Confederacy and the well-fedj and splendidly equipped soldiers of: the German army. And then too itmust .be remembered that while the Confederacy went into . the fight without preparation the German empire went into battle with the greatest military organization the world has ever known If the Confederacy in its impoverished condition held the Union army at bay for twelve months following the defeat at Gettysburg how muih longer can the Get:;.at: army with its superior training and equipment hold the Allies at bay ' The indications are that we are .11 foi a long and .stubborn light. The German is a man of one idea r is a characteristic ol the face. t'lie idea that he is invimiole has twin drilled into him by t.-iliiary in t.- rs while on tli< other hand lie lias been lOll 1 a ft IkltlitiVo til '.if i!i.l'lllUII\ .. 1 t <C t couquer or vanish as a nation This means that he will ti^lit till th<- lust and il is not nnlikt ly tliat the whole German empire v ill iiav to be subdued before it aeknowl edges defeat. it is quite likely that the great counter-offensive movement will begin in a lew days and the Gentian army will be driven hack beyond its old lines The press dispatches will carry encouraging news of reconquered territory but this will not mean that victory .s any when .on; at hand That the Allies will triumpl in the end is not to he <louhle?l, hut it. will take months and probably years to win a victory that will meat a lasting peace. Notwithstanding tin' inouiamtu reports that will be rccimd fron lime to lime the people should no' relax In their efforts to aid tin armies at the front. It will take tin combined efforts of the man powei of the world to destroy this almost invincible military machine that hat been forty years in the making Wo have a strong suspicion tha candidates will get but scant notici this year. In normal times politic! is a diversion and a man nreon scionsly becomes interested in not ai.d late or another, hut at the 1 'h"? people arc SO deop]v <n ' grossed In the problems arising out ! of the great struggle across the : water that they have little time to | | devote to politics or politicians. Our jopinion is the state campaign will ; be a pretty tame affair. The news1 papers have done more than any other one agency to keep campaigns ! alive, but the demand for space for more important matters? matters in which the people are more vitally .interested - will crowd out the reports of the meetings and the can| didates themselves will not be able to arouse and hold the interest of 'the masses. Not only will this be jtrue of the state and county campaigns, but the stirring times in which we are living will have their effect on national politics, and if the (war lasts that long the next presijdential campaign will be a listless 1 and indifferent sort of affair. The ; energies and efforts of the nation are centered on winning the war and | the man who hopes to ride into offlee by the old methods of appealing |to prejudices and passions will find jthat "times have changed." 1 We wonder what our government ' will do with the employees arrested a few days ago charged with substituting lead for steel in the vital 1 parts of aeroplanes being constructed for war uses in Europe? It has been the rule heretofore to give these cold-blooded assassins from three to eighteen months in the penitentiary. Can we hope to stamp i out plotters and conspirators by giving them such light sentences when the penalty for lesser crimes in other countries is death? The man i who plots against the government at the present time is more to be dreaded than the midnight assassin who steals into another's home and commits murder and we know how | the laws of our country deal with the murderer. Why is it the law (protects one and punishes the other? I _. Mr. lilease's opening speech at Manning was made in such characteristic style that one is led to believe that Gov. Manning is his 'strongest opponent in the senatorial race. Is there -?i man with a "soul so t : dead" that he did not feel a thrill when he read in Monday's dispatches that 100,000 picked American troops ; were on their way to the battlefront ? "Every soldier will be a hero j when he returns," is what yo? hear 011 every hand, and so young man if you want to be among the heroes, don the khaki and light. Every man who profiteers is jus' as much a liability to the country as j. the gentlemen we hold in detention camps. At this distance it looks like the Dutch are putting up a bluff to please the Kaiser.

In this connection the following from The Columbia Itecord is tabulated to name one more appreciative <#t the place cotton has as ' sisno <1 in the essential life of the uaI tion.
