NEIGHBORLINESS.
Did vou ever stop to think of the
great humanizing quality of neighborliness?
Contrast a community where
it thrives, where everybody are neighbors
with one where it is a negligible
quantitiy.
Consider how gregarious a creature
is man, and how his nature demands
intercourse with his fellows. Did you
ever stop to reckon up your per centage
of happiness and comfort?just
what it would amount to without your
neighbors? About nine-tenths of all
the enjoyment one gets out of life
comes either directly or indirectly
from our neighbors, our friends.
Without these we would be hermits,
or Robinson Crusoe's brought up to
date. Are you doing your part as a
neighbor? Do you realize that your
neighbor needs a neighbor just as bad
as you do? Are you doing your full

kindness, neighborliness that makes
life more worth while, or are you
like the sponge, absorbing until you
are full and never giving up until you
are squeezed.
HUNTING HORNETS
The Baltimore American, leading
Republican newspaper of Maryland,
says:
"If there is any one so short in
memory as to forget the immense
satisfaction that the nation experienced
un having the president it did
at the head of the nation during the
war era?a man with clarity of mind
and with inspiration of utterance,
and with soundness of judgment, and
with set and grim purpose to win
the war, irrespective of the formidability
of the foe, the exhaustion of
the Allies of the dull traditions of
old world warfare?that one should
be made ashamed in reading the war
instructions of Mr. Wilson to the Atlantic
fleet, given in person on the
flagship Pennsylvania, August 11,
^ 1917. There is called for a truce in
the political campaign, in which men
and positions are placed in the exaggerated
light of censure and abuse,
to pay tribute to the head of the
nation during the war without whom
the issue of that strife might have
been different. He was the American
president, and no particle of the glory
of the war epoch will be subtracted
from the luster of the Wilson patriotism
by anything that may be said
as to the Wilson partisanship during
the months of the peace treaty fight.
Even here an honest and admiring
tribute is paid by an inveterate op- i
ponent, Senator Borah"; who expresses i
his deep sense of respect for the firm j
stand of the president upon his con- j
victions as to the peace treaty.
"No expression of Mr. Wilson j
among the many things of vital preg- ;
nancy that he has uttered will last
longer than his vivid simile of the i
hornet's nest: 'We are hunting hor- j
nets all over the farm and letting the ;
nest alone. None of us know how to
go to the nest and crush it, and yet
I dispair of hunting for hornets all I
over the sea when 1 know wnere tne
nest is and know that the nest is
breeding hornets as fast as I can find
them. I am willing, for my part, and
I know that you are willing, because
I know the stuff you are made of?I
am willing to sacrifice half the navy
that Great Britain and we have to
crush that nest, if necessary*. If we
crush it, the war is won.'
Not less pregnant is the statement
that traditions must be cast to the
winds. A very strange word for the
old war-experienced and war-tradi?tions-ridden
Allies of the old world!
A very remarkable attitude in the
view of the great Baval power, Great
Britain! 'Every time we have sug
jested anything to the British admirality
the reply has come back that
virtually amounted to this, that it
had never been done that way, and I
felt like saying, Well, nothing was
ever done so systematically as nothing
is being done now. Therefore, 1
should like to see something unusual
happen.' Another of the wonderful
bits of forceful inspiration was the
adjuration, 'Please leave out of youi
vocabulary altogether the word 'prudence,'
'
And yet the United States has beer
condescended to by our British cousin;
when the testimony is that upon lane
and sea the war was won after this
country went into it, casting prudence
to the winds and smashing the
idols of European traditions. Ger
many lost the war because of doing
things the way they had been done
before and relying upon maundering;
of an old-school war boAd. The Al/
i n
lies were in process 01 losing tne wai
upon the same account. The -Vnitec
States entered into it with the splendid
ameteurishness of which Mr. Wilson
spoke, and beset with the on?
idea, to win at all hazards. The matter.
therefore, was speedily closed up
The North Sea barrage, a feat of tremendous
genius, was the great contribution
of this country upon the seas
in addition to the feat of getting 3,000,000
of men over the ocean thai
had been in the state of a farm overrun
with hornets. The rnagnificenl
dash and valor of the men of the nav>
and of the army of the United States
responded to the magnificent daring
and audacity of the one who was the
responsible head of the army anc
navy of the country.
It is a pleasure for all Americans
to pause in the midst of the campaign
fight that is of the genius oi
American party politics, to give salute
to the man who more than anj
other made the winning of the wai
possible?by breaking loose from the
old world traditions and giving tc
every man in America his chance tc
contribute ideas and service. The
picture would be tarnished by anj
discussion of the exceedingly painfui
and generally deplored and illbasec
strictures of Admiral Sims upon the
American navy, although gratitude
will be felt that the < ontroversy has
borne this fruit of testimony to the
actual state of mind of Mr. Wilsor
toward the principal ally and the
unity of all the common cause.
Senator Smith was in Columbia
Monday and filed his campaign pledge
and paid his assessment to Gen. Willie
Jones, treasurer of the state Demo
cratic executive committee. He statec
that he would be absent when the campaign
opens at Sumter, June 22, a*
he will be on the way to the national
convention at that time. However
he wishes to go before the people al
home whenever he can do so, and talk
over some situations in national affairs.
"I feel sure that the inquiring
people of the state know my record
and Vnftur that T havp endeavored tc
serve them in these trying years
through which we are passing," said
Senator Smith, "and it has been very
gratifying to me to receive so many
personal expressions of confidence
and esteem as have come to me, especially
of late."
