' ' 'Two Kinds of Citizens. -Patriotism manifest!# in -many arirl vnrinim wovo 1 , ?..y. . ?.V UX ? >-? UV11I& are willing to die for their country and a few are willing to live for their country, ? which is much harder. S^rne are eager ?o show theiV patriotism by holding a job af a fat salary and some are willing to vote the .party ticket straight?just because it is the party ticket. Patriotism, says Walter Williams, is often another name for pride. The small ways fn which patriotism may be shown seldom attract attention. A soldier attacks the enemy of his country and we call the soldier a patriot. But it is patriotic also to cut tdown the weeds on vour back lot. The soldier gives his life in a day, but the scientist who gives /his life in a generation is also patriotic. Two kinds of citixens are in .every town, patrots and traitors. There is no middle ground of neutrality. Everv man is in Ann or the other camp. The patriot does his full duty to the community, votes, expresses his opinion, tUk?> partin m.etlntrs for civic good, bears cheerfully his portion ,Of the community's work. The traitor lets the other fellow do the work and reaps benefit by the other fellow's patriotism. Treason consists of levying war against the republic?so says the foundatic^M|M^*givingaid and j comfort to^^BHtaaies. He gives aid and comrort to the public enemies who does not assist in making better the community in which he dwells. He is himself a public enemy. Ma&dlin Sympathy. There has been exhibited from time to time, in this country, and , that far too often, a maudlin and uncalled for sympathy for criminals oo certain class. If a man commits some common crime, i like larceny or burglary, but little notice is taken of the affair. Let a man, howeyer, commit a murder, in which a woman is in woman is in some way involved, jor any matter of a sensational nature be connected therewith, at once a wave of unreasoning sympathy sweeps over the land, i The newspapers are filled with it. The criminal is represented j w as the victim of moral insanity. I He is more sinned against than sinning. He is undeserving of ' punishment, he becomes a hero in his own estimation apdi a | martyr in the eyes of hiis'maud-1 lin sympathizers. ? ^Courts and juries are ' condemned because > fVlpv havo llim J ' j ..(.IV IV' ..? ?! ((Ulll/;, ft'U ; governors a?fe cursed if thfy will i not commute his sentence or pardon hi ?n entirely. t hg. sf rancid rot daily printed in the big city papers: about the vulgar rich, their sayings and doings; their comings and goings, wnat they eat and how they eat it; what they drink and how much of it; what they wear and how, when and where they wear it; minute write-ups, with pictorial illustrations of every dud worn by brainless, women, full description of every j .garment, including the em-1' broidered and hemstitched clothes' prepared beforehand for; the unborn brats?all their ful- j some nauseous stuff, drooled out, i daily in the big papers?by the column and by the whole page' ?a sort of flTOSS Dandprincr tr? ! riches?a servile worship of snobocracy; a putting of the forehead to the ground when the\ ] money moloch passes down the ! i street, does more to stir up the i .devil in a man than all else com- i ^ined. This sort of man worship 1 may go all right in countries j where one man is acknowledged i to be be better than another, but ] it will never go in this land of 11 the free and the home of the < brave, and the sooner the big' papers let up on this flouting of I money in the faces of decent peo- 11 pie, the quicker all sorts of , devilishness will cease to be a i menace to our government. j i . ' 1 Every newspaper wants to pub- j Ifsh the news* The better the j paper the more prosperous it 1 :wiil be. Local news items are s especially hard to run down, i How many times have you, dear |! reader, been approached by the ! 1 newspaper man for an item of < news and told him that you knew 1 nothing of interest. Probably t at the time your family were c away on a visit or some one from i out of town was visiting at your t home. Of coarse you didn't s mean to deceive the scribe, yet i "when you received your paper r you wonered why your familv s or friends were not mentioned. | r A good way to avoid all of this *1 4s to kindly inform us of the facts or drop a note in the postofnee to the paper. The one item may " pot amount to much, but 3everal,,! columns of such news is the life * oi a local paper. 11 t'< *.. i . ? ' r _ The Road Question. If there is any. question that is receiving the consideration of the people or York county to a large extent to less apparent purpose than the road question, we confess that we are unable to say what it is. . There is hardly a man in York! county of the class that is suf-; ?1.1.. _ <- -\l: * iiviijeiiuy intelligent to taxe a live- j ly interest in his own comfort or the public welfare, who is not i neartily ashamed of the present '> condition 01 the roads and still more ashamed to have to con-; fess, after so many years of talking, that there is no well defined plan under consideration for the j improvement of the situation. Of course, everybody knows that the present horrible condition of the roads is a fearful drain on the resources of the county. It is no longer necessary ! to tell people that the road tax now being collected from them involuntarily by existing dis-' graceful conditions, is the hcav- j iest tax they are paying and that i the only way to escape the burdens of this tax is to go down in their pockets after voluntary payments. It is pretty generally understood that the voluntary \ payment of a few mills on the dollar each year will in a short j time relieve us of the involuntary ! tax that we are now paying of a , few cents on the dollar. As we have seen the situation for a good many years, the only j way to get good roads is to pay : for them. The only way to get anything good is to pay for it. And the way to pay for good roads is by no means of county or township bods, Of course, there are numerous . people who will object to the bond proposition. If there were no objectors, the bonds could be issued at once and with little difficulty. But because of the oujectors, it is next to impossi-! ble to even get the matter before the people of the county. We would not be understood as discouraging any reasonable plan for the betterment of the roads. 1 We very well understand that if the people will only use the means : they can get much better roads than they have; but if it is a firstclass system they want, and that is the cheapest in the end, the thing is to issue bons in sufficient amount to do the work and do it right.?Yorkviile Enquirer. South Railing More Grain. For some years there was a, considerable deeline in the attention given by the south to the production of grain and foodstuffs, but with a strong tendency of recent years toward a greater diversity in agriculture, | the south is getting back, relatively, to the position which it held in 18G0 in the raising of grain and live stock. For many j ytars after the war the south almost abaliboneh as compared witrl wtniuUiOns prior to 1860, the raising of its own supplies, depending almost wholly on" cotton, tobacco and sugar as its i main crops. While giving increased attention to cotton production and greatly enlarging the averacre annual vial/1 if- ic of the same time giving renewed attention to cereals and to live stock. Between 1877 and 1896 the south raised an aggregate; of 0,213,504,225 bushels of corn, wheat and oats, while for ten years ending with 1906 the production of these cereals increased by 737,101,959 bushels, equal to j 11.8 per cent, the total being 6, 950, 906,084 bushels.? Manufacturers' Record. Some people think it a mystery ; that notwithstanding good advice their boys grow up to be wild and reckless young men. If these boys were taught from infancy 1 that home was the proper place for them after dark, rather than prowling around the streets, annoying well and sick people alike, much of this mystery might be explained, and young men with i better moral chiracter and more intelligent minds would be the result. No parent need expect pure morals in a boy that prowls the streets at night, even if he loes go to Sunday school. Last week a man stepped up to us and said he would pay us every cent he owed us it' he lived till Saturday night. We presume the man died. Another man said tie would pay us in a day or two is sure as we were born. Query:! Did the man lie or were we never aorn? Another said he would settle as sure as shooting.
