'Two Kinds of Citizens.

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 >

about the vulgar rich, their sayings
and doings; their comings

how they eat it; what they drink

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'

daily in the big papers?by the
column and by the whole page'
?a sort of flTOSS Dandprincr tr? !

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

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

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. We
presume that shooting is very
uncertain. Another man said he
loped to go to the devil if he

Elaven't seen him since; suppose
;hat he has gone, but trust he
lid not hope in vain. Quite a
lumber said they would see us
tomorrow. They must have been
itricken blind, or tomorrow has
lot come. One man told us six
nonths ago that ho would pay as
soon as he got some money. The
nan would not lie, o^ course, he
lasn't had a cent since?Ex.
