The Times is in full accord! with the interview given the press some days ago by Congressman Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, in opposition to the proposed enormous appropriations for enlargements of J the army and navy. Mr. Kitchin will be the Democratic floor! leader of the party in the Sixtyfourth Congress by virtue of holding the chairmansnip 01 me ways and means committee and his views undoubtedly will influence legislation to an appreciable degree. On this subject his head is level and he refuses to be swerved from his convictions by the clamor for a great army and a greater navy, coming mostly from the arms and munitions manufacturers and the battleship builders of the North who see and are eager to improve upon the opportunity to further enrich themselves at the expense of the American people. With a sane man in tho White* lloimt* who is ant to remain there until the European war is concluded, the chances are remote for this country becoming involved in the conflict. When thSi war shall have ended, the whole of Europe will be so burdened with debt and overcome by the frightful losses of life and the presence of millions of maimed and inefficient men, that no living human will ever again witness such a struggle. Wherein, therefore, the reason for the United States preparing for a war which will never materialize? Militarism such as the grafters, jingoes and fanatics would have for this country has been the curse of Germany and is certain in the end to be the undoing of the empire. The people of the United States are peace-loving and want no war with any country. Mr. Kitchin interprets their wishes when he speaks against the proposed army and navy increases. Saving Pennies Los ng Dollars. It is really strange th-> way some people will scrape and econ omize to save a penny in some ways and turn right around and waste dollars in other wnvs. They leave wagons and buggies and all sorts of machinery out in the weather from one year's end to another, apparently never giving a thought to the i'act that every day of inclement weather causes a distinct deterioration in value or usefulness or' the a? tide or vehicle in question. Take a walk around town an ! you will nee wheelbarrows, axes, garden tools, and many other things out in the weather^, all corroding with rust and wearing and wearing out from neglect. And every "" ' WHAT? time you see this, ysu see a man who is economizing in one way and throwing money to the birds in another. Keep the Town Clean. Did you see your friend toss a newspaper down on the street? T* -'i ll1 . _ il li, in ltsen, was a ntue ming and not of any great consequence. But when everybody, or a great many bodies, do the same it litters up public places and gives the town the appearance of backwardness and slothfulness and decay which operates as a detriment in the minds of all progressive people, especially when those people are from a distance. But instead of throwing down papers and kicking other rubbish into the street, suppose each citizen should make a practice of keeping the town clean, and bright, and attractive, wouldn't it be good for the eye to see? It's easy to do ?if we want to do it. REASON. By B. C. B. Without threats, without bluster, without abuse, without being swayed by the bellowings of the Anglo-American subsidized press, the President has persisted in practical proof of the statement he made four months ago to the effect that a nation may be too enlightened to resort to armed warfare. He has proved it. In every home in the country today there is inexpressible relief, that the clouds of evil portent have been dispelled. While the President deserves, i and will receive, from his own people the tribute of personal !i___ 1 *1 i c i ? ove arm manKiuiness ior ms ( signal service, there is a larger, grander tribute of gratitude due I .0 him from all mankind. ; Dealing with a series of incidents which waiting nations : might have considered sufficient ! causes of war, he has accomplished all that a war could accomplish and has done it without bloodshed. His service to all humanity consists in developing Reason as a weapon which is superior to brute force. Where others might have gained glory in war, he has won the liner distinction of 'a victory over war itself. Germany has honored herself as a great nation in recognizing, with the United States, the power of reason and as one of the two parties to the negotiations which have proved the unnecessity of war. The United States and Germany liuve together taken the most tremendous step toward peace lastiiur. universal peace that the woijd has ever known. Hail, Prince of Peace! We dofl* our hats to thee. BETHEL PRESBYTERY CLOSED THURSDAY (Continued from Phk?' One.) W. J. Roddey, of Rock Hill, told | of the practical experience of the mills in Rock Hill under his management where evangelistic i work was conducted in connection with the welfare work along other lines and his recommendations were well received. (The Rev. W. A. Hefner prei sonted the satisfactory experience he had had during the past two summers in conducting i divine services each Sabbath evening in the open air.

The diaconate seems to have received a full share of i this presbytery's attention. William Hamilton Johnson of J York was received as candidate i for the ministry under the care ! of this presbytery. At 11:30 the business of presbytery was suspended for an hour to hear an address by the R^v. A. D. P. Gilmour, his subject being "America Leading the Nations ?but Where?"
