In the making of these ihirigs greater .physical Comfort r>Jm ^wSam BOWMAN" ~ r ter, Union, S. C. has been brought -to- mankind. The fjVrrrlen has been lifted from the backs of many, but the' question , " misi's in my mind have the slaves ii~ the Negro been really benlit ed by them? Mechanics having liberated'their places and they are left in the * streets and on the highways to QQ| ffaze upon, left standing in the . tracts of the marching civilization, left to starve by the -wayside. If ^ so their liberation is a mistake. Tho cPwinrr mnnltinn V? o <S ---- V.-f ? us better made garments; the Innhi Tiimishcs?us?better* cloth ? from which to make them', the application of stearp to transporta-'' tion has brought us a better and greater variety of foods?, and has nel-ped? m material things. The world has triumphed, ' but the riumph is discredited by the* last wax. that destroyed the greater part of the world's accumulated r-alue, and swallowed ten millions >f human lives. The property loss, and the loss in human lives cause us to pause and reflect. A civilization that destroys itself is not going forward. It is the way to death. . If man .is. to turn all wealth, indent ion and sk;ll of the advanced men? rrrrfTto fnTo engines of torlure and destruction, the whole thing I believe is a failure. Some people tell us that the war principles create new ideals and <et. us new standards. This we doubt. Certainly the new creations of war have not led to the :>1i Tit inn of war. for the clouds of war ate thick all over the world today. It is beginning to appear ^ that tin- war settled tiothing, imintivod nothing as some people predicted it would. Civilization came near, to per-n ,r;ntf r.1 ) fi period from 1014 A. D.vto 1919, A..J), and it is by no ineans assured that we have passed opt _1 from the shadow ox death. There are more hungry people in the world today than ever before in its history. There are more people clothed in fags than at any time syaco the world began. There aire more people crying for help now since the world began. The**"* ?'
