"Pm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my Bighs;
I'm growing caroless In my dress;
I'm growing frugal of my gold;
I'm growing wise, I'm growing-yes

A PATRIOTIC I?! TY.
The Intelligencer acknowledges with
appreciation the many kind remarks
mad? yesterday aB to its stand on tin
great moral question now being tried
In this community. Of course this
newspaper could have remained silent,
and have said nothing to indicate the
position lt took, hut to have done this
would have been to compromise with
duty that was too plain to be shirk
ed, as we saw lt. Of course there are
those who will not agr<?<.?. with the po
sition we have taken. We expected
this. Wc are willing to grant those
who differ from ns the right to their
opinion, and we certainly expect as
fair treatment on their part.
It wa? gratifying to note thai those
who are wit li UH are seemingly in
the large majority in this community,
and If we can read the handwriting
on the wall, it will not be long till
the presence of a blind tiger in An
derson will be unknown. This is a
consummation devoutly to be wished.
We are sincere when we say that we
wish them all well. We would much
prefer that every man who ls guilty
of selling Intoxicating beverages
should voluntarily give up his avo
cation and return to the ranks of
those who work at a legitimate trade
'o make a living. It will be much
better for them and for the commun
ity to effect a silent cure of the evil.
But, If there Is no uppeal from the
standpoint of reason, then let the
strong arm of the law stop in and
'oreo an obedience, and let tho good
neople of the community assist in this
great work. Anderson must be a bet
tor place than anywhere else in
which to have your boy grow up, and
vou must help make lt BO. Mr. Cltl
.en. If lt requires that you give up
your secret vice, should you possess
me, will you not be patriotic enough
o do so?
THE BONDS IN THE FUTURE
Io any member of the Legislature
prepared to guarantee that ten or
fifteen millions or thirty-five millions
of dollars In South Carolina five per
"eut. bonds can be Bold now at their
face value?
Where ls the Representative or
Senator with such faith in the Issue
that he would contract now to buy
15,000 of the bonds in October, 1915,
at par? There are among he legis
lators some men of large means.
If the bond Issue should be nassed
and ratified by the people and tt
should result in adding ten millions
af dollars to the public debt, and
some voter inquires In 1916, "What
has the State to show for the trebled
State debt?" what will be the reply ot
the men who voted the bonds?
it the bond IBBUO should be voted
md should result In trebling the State
lebt, what would be the reply In 1916
to the question of a railroad conduc
tor asking, "What benefit did we con
luctors derive from the bonds?"

OTHER CRUSADERS
It appears that Anderson is not the
inly city Just now that ls in the throes
>f a crusade against the presence of
il ind tigers. Columbia business men
lave awakened to the danger of al
owlng the Illicit sale of liquor to con
inue, and recently a number of them
appeared before Mayor Griffith and
he members ot the City Council re
luestlng that steps be taken to put a
itop to the sale of liquor Illegally Ia
he city of Columbia.
Thia awakening of the public con
icience along these lines ls to be com
nended. Laws are placed upon the
itatute books for the purpose of cor
.octlng evils, or supposedly sa So
ong as any law Is not enforced lt does
lot correct what it was intended to
:orrect. Now. the enforcement of any
aw depends upon a healthy public
lentlment backing up the enforcement.
This public sentiment ls either extst
tnt in tho consciences of the people
LS an inherent principle, or lt must
>e aroused through some crusade. If
t exists there Inherently, the enforce
nent of law becomes easy on the part
>f those who are entrusted with the
luty of seeing that laws are carried
ut. Where lt has to be created through
tome agency, it is doubtful if the good
.ffeels are so lasting as In the former
:ase, but lt is desirable that it be there
io matter how it ls created.
Soiling liquor ia either a good thing
kr lt is not It lt is a good thing for
i community to have intoxicants sold,
hen there should be no objection to
t being sold In any quantity or In any
saner. If lt is not a good thing, then
t should he stopped at any cost. Es
pecially Is U?s true when the sale of
t ls forbidden hy law. Therefore no
?cuss can exist for its sal? In these
ommuntties which have had the op
portunity or* voting on the matter and
lave decided hy their vote to outlaw
he sale. Such community ta Anderson,
nd the hatti?, being fought here now
?tween thc two forces ls being watch
d with great Interest. Who shall win?
Viii It b? the forces of .right or the
orces ot wrong? We shall see.
FOR THF PIHLIC DF.FFNDER
If society needs a prosecuting attor
ney to see that punishment ia meted
out to its enemies, by that same token
it needs a Public Defender to protect
HA members who are accused of be
ing its enemies.
The Juvenile Court was a long step
in the right direction. It gave our
youth the square deal.
Now let's institute the Public De
fender and give the poor and needy
a chance for their white alley.
Every person, no matter how impe
cunious and down and out he may be,
is entitled to a fair trial.
He cannot net it without money, be
cause without money he cannot pro
cure a good lawyer. Without a good
lawyer to offset the prosecuting at
torney, who is always a good attorney,
he does not get an even break.

A TRil'MPH OF TRACTION
Before the beginning of war in Eu
rope there had been a great deal of
prophesy concerning the prominence
the automobile would assume as a fac
tor in the warfare, but it seems that
nobody foresaw that lo motor traction
would be due the greatest change in
the fundamentals of war that has ever
)ccurred. As far back as history goes
here have been forts and sieges. Pur
ifications have alwayB been relied
pon to withstand attack, and have
been changed in form as changes in
irmament have suggested the neces
sity of improvement. The blockhouse
>f pioneer days in America was im
.regnable to the attacks of savages
.rmed with aboriginal instruments o'
/ar or with firearms other than can
ion, which the Indians rarely succeed
d in acquiring. The walls which stll
urround some of the Asian and Euro
pean cities were In their day safe
igalnst all attacks save those of Bot
tlers who contrived to scale them. The
\igh, thin masonry walls of the "Red
Fort" of the Mughul Emperors of In
ila were impregnable to arms that
could be turned against them, al
though they would be no protection
igalnst light field pieces nowadays.
The modern fortifications, such as
those of Liege, Namur and Antwerp,
/ere regarded as impregnable upon
he supposition that there waa limit
above which the weight of cannon for
field use could not go. But the mili
tary engineers did not take into ac
: r.u;;t !Lu yuooiuiiiiieB ut motor trac
tion. It was for a long time stub
bornly believed that mule power would
always be the only practical form of
traction fer cannon across country.
Automobiles, lt was held, would mire
sf their own weight where there were
DO roads, and at first there were no
models built to cope with uneven sur
faces.
There are now "four-wheel drive"
trucks which can. climb over almost
my sort of obstruction and scramble
In and out of ditches with amazing
?daptabillty to difficulties formerly re
garded as Insurmountable. There are
giant trucks which can cross com
paratively boggy stretches drawing
ifter them siege guns larger than
were formerly regarded a* possible
nobile arms.
When it was announced that the
\nstrians would use a twelve-Inch
Seid gun lt was popularly believed
hat it could not be dci.o. Now the
Jarman Forty-two centimeter, or slx
'.een-and-a-half inch gun is being
tauted about by tractors and used with
rreslstible effectiveness 'against the
nost modern fortifications. A six ty

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION o
.p . . o
o WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-President Wilson today issued o
o a proclamation designating Thursday, November 26, as o
o Thanksgiving Pay. o
o The proclamation, which refers to the fact that the United o
o States is at peace while the rest of the world is at war, follows o
'? "By the President nf the United State-, of America: o
u A Proclamation. p
o "lt has lonvi been the honored custom of our people to o
o turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanks- o
o Riving to Almighty God for His Many blessings and mercies to o
o us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a close since o
o we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, p
o while a year cf discipline because of the mighty forces of war o
o and of change which have disturbed the v/orld, also a year of o
o special blessings for us. o
o "lt has been vouchsafed to us to remain at peace, with o
o honor, and in some part to succor the suffering and supply the o
o needs of those who are in want. We have been privileged o
^o by our own peace and self control in some degree to steady o
o the counsels and shape the hopes and purposes of a day of o
jo fear and distress. Our people have looked upon their own o
o life as a nation with a deeper comprenension, a fuller realiza- o
o tion of their responsibilities as well as of their blessings, and o
o a keener sense of the moral and practical significance of what o
o their part among the nations of the world may come to be. o
o "The hurtful effects of foreign war in their own industrial o ,
o commercial affnirs have made them feel the more fully and o
o see the more clearly their mutual inter-dependence upon one o
o another and has stirred them to a helpful co-operation, such o
j as they have seldom practiced before. They have been o
j quickened by a great moral stimulation. Their unmistak- o
j able ardor for peace, their earnest pity and disinterested sym- o
o pathy for those who are suffering, their readiness to help o
j and to think of the needs of others, has revealed them to o
.J themselves as well as to the world. o
o "Our crops will feed all who need food; the self-pos- o
o session of our peopkiaamidst the most serious anxieties and dif- o
o liculties and the steadiness and resourcefulness of our busi- o
o ness men will serve other nations as well as our own. o
o "The business of the country has been supplied with new o
o instrumentalities and the commerce of the world with new o
xj channels of trade and intercourse. The Panama Canal has o
o been opened to the commerce of the nations. The two con- o
o tinents of America have been bound in closer ties of friend- o
J ship. New instrumentalities of international trade have o
c been created which will be also new instrumentalities of o
o acquaintance, intercourse, and mutual service. Never be- o
o fore have the people of the United States been so situated for o
o their own advantage or the advantage of their neighbors, or o
o so equipped^to serve themselves and mankind. o
