GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

Cleveland spoke in Chicago last
night On the topic of Good Citi-
zenship.' 1t was vivid and char
acteristic setting forth of the truth
that it is not lily the privilege,
but the duty of each citizen to be-
come a politician. He said:
ct is time that there should be
an END Of self-satisfied qualification,
or pretense Of virtue. in the phrase,
4 am not a politician, and it is
time to forbid the prostitution of
the word to sinister use. Every
citizen should be Eclitioian enough
to bring himself within the true
meaning of the term, as one who
concerns himself with the regula-
tion or government of a nation or
state for the preservation of its
safety, peace and prosperity This
is politics in its t >st sense, and this
is good citizenship"
There is nothing new in the
thought. But it is one which cam
not be too often enunciated.
The above is from an editorial
comment on Mr.. Cleveland g speech
by the Atlanta Journal. All Ameri-
eau citizens are or should be politi-
clans in the true and highest and
better meaning Of the term. In our
government every citizen should be
interested in securing the best pos
sible public service, and every one
has q voice in the selection of those
who are to conduct the affairs of
State. The term politician should
not be construed as it often is as
term of derision. Only by every
citizen who enjoys the privilege of
an elector exercising that privilege
for the highest and best interests of
the commonwealth can the best
form of government be secured.
The trouble is that too many hold
the franchise too lightly and do not
realize the Importance of the right
which they enjoy. In Our form of
government the government itself
cannot rise above the estimate
placed upon it by the average of
the citizens who exercise the right
of suffrage. 1t is serious matter
to cast a ballot. And yet how few
are they who SO consider it.

The Herald and News regrets

The Herald and News regrets
that the people of Newberry coun-
ty did not take sufficient interest
in the good roads matter to attend
the meeting on Wednesday to con-
slider the plan prepared by the
special committee appointed for
that purpose. The roads at present,
owing to the beautiful weather we
have had, are in very good con-
d:tion. When the real winter
weather comes and the roads cut
up then the people will begin to
kick about bad roads. The time
to do something is before they get
bad CT coulse the mass meeting
will not work roads but there must
be something wrong with our sys-
tenn, or if there is not then we need
to devise new plan. That was
the purpose for which the meeting
was called. To talk over the va
rious plans suggested and to see if
out Of multitude Of counsel some
thing practical could be evolved.
The fact that the supervisor has
made eight miles Of good perma-
nent road at cost Of $3.50 is suf-
ficient argument that with little
money and good management we
can get good roads at very small
outlay.
The committee, or those men,
bcrs Of it present, decided to call
another meeting for saleday in
November at the court house at II
o'clock. We hope every township
will be represented and the people
will endorse some plan SO that
something may be done.

Srapn systems. Auu ySl III oPi|S
Of this progress in external things
the great majority of the people
were ignorant, superstitious, and ut
terly immoral. Ill kinds of crime,
wickedness and vice abounded.
And the most surprising part of it
was, there was no public sentiment
to condemn this immortality. There
was, he said. all utter disregard for
the institution of marriage, for
truth and for chastity. The people
were id6latrous, bowling down to
gods of wood and stone, as their
fathers and foreiathers did. One
half of the wealth invested. in the
buildings in the land was in Buddhist
temples. Religion and morality
had been divorced. The most re-
ligious might be the most immoral,
and a mans immortality did not
affect has standing in the temple or
in the community. There were
many large cities in Kuyschu, and
in one of these, Saga, the principal
mission was located, with important
missions in two other large cities.
Among the things which DR..
Peery gave as constituting the open
door in Japan was the fact that
Japan was a land of religious liber-
ty; the fact that it was a land of ex-
cellent facilities for travelling and
living among the people, in direct
contrast to China, where the people
did not tolerate locomotives because
they were afraid their noise would
awake their dead ancestors; the
great thirst of the people for West
ern knowledge; the fact that in
recent years, with the advent Of
Western civilization the people had
drifted rapidly away from the old
faiths and were in search of a new
religion.
Not only, however, was there an
open door in Japan, said DR.. Peery,
but the work had its adversaries.
The authorities, he s.id, held that
religion and education were utterly
incompatible, and one who had
gone through the schools, and
there were many excellent schools
in Japan, and number of colleges
and two large universities, ,--came
out with an extreme prejudice
against religion in any form.
Another thing which initiated
against the work was the extreme
loyalty of the people to their coun-
try, their blind, fanatical patriot
ism, and their idea that Christi
anity was not friendly to Japan as
nation; their custom of worshipping
ancestors, the Christian religion
teaching that worship of any save
God is wrong; the fact that the
great masses were Budhists, and
that Buddhism actively opposed the
progress Of the work; the character
of many Of the representatives Of
Western civilization living ia Japan,
many of whom we're e-.~'' more i'm
moral than the people of the coun-
try.
In spite of all these things that
initiated against it, said DIR. Peery,
the work was growing and pro-
crossing. Truth and Right we're
on its side and Truth and Right
would prevail. AS sure as Cod s
word was true, Christianity would
ultimately prevail. The prejudice
in Saga against the work had been
largely overcome. Ten years in
Saga lad produced $50 converts,

WORK OF MISSIONS
IN FAR.0FF JAPAN
DIR. PBERY'S SCHOLARLY ADDRESS ON
81. WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Open Door in Japan and the Things
That Militate Against the Progress
Of the Work.

DR.. R. B. Peery, Lutheran mis-
sionary to Japan, delivered a schol-
arly address in the Lutheran Church
of the Redeemer Wednesday night
on the work in Japan Mr.. Peery,
who is one of the ablest men in the
Southern Lutheran Church, went
to labor in the missionary fields in
Japan about ten years ago. He
was placed in Saga. During the
time that he has labored there, as
was tittingly said by the Rev. Mr..
Seabrook on Wednesday night, his
name has become known, not only
i'll the Southern Church, but
throughout the entire country,
both Oh account of the great work
which he has done there, and on
account of his writings, which have
linked Japan close to the western
world.
DR.. Peery is at present in the
United States on vacation and at
the request Of the Lutheran Synod
Of the South is touring the South
ern churches, telling of the work
in Japan, the great opportunities
there and the pressing needs.
A large audience greeted DR..
Peery in the Lutheran church on
Wednesday night. Those present

ance. The address was scholarly,
clear-cut and forceful. DR.. Peery
is very Auent is bis use of the En-.
glish language and his diction is
beautiful. His voice scarce rose
above the conversational tone, but
he was eloquent, and the truth
borne Oh his words went straight
to the hearts of his hearers.
The exercises were opened with
a solo beautifully rendered by
Miss Susie Summer. Prayer was
offered by the Rev. J. J. Long, and
scripture was read by the pastor,
the Rev. w. L. Seabrook. The
old familiar hymn, "Fr n Green
lands Icy Mountains was rem
dered by select choir.
DR. Peery was introduced by
Rev. Mr.. Seabrook, who spoke OF
the close relations which had ex-
listed between him and DR.. Peery
for the past eight or ten years, and
the great pleasure that he felt in
introducing him on this occasion.
DR.. Peery began by saying that
eleven years ago he had been per-
mitted to stand in this church and
talk about the work which he con-
templated doing In Japan. After
these years Of practical experience
in that work he was able to come
back here and tell of what had been
accomplished and what was yet to
be accomplished.
DR.. Peery divided his address
into two parts; the open door in
Japan, the great opportunities there
for carrying on the work; and,
secondly, the. adversaries of the
work, the things that initiate
against it there.
The Lutheran mission, he said
was located on the most southern
Of the large group of islands,
Kuyschu, an island not as large as
South Carolina, but which has a
population of 1000, 900. He de-

ducts. He said it was very fertile,

Wit, HuM0R AND SATIRE.
Mental Gifts Rarely Possessed Tose.he,
by One Person.


Portland Oregonian: A real humorist
is man who without spasmodic effort
uses his gifts as mere condiments to
the expression of his happy thought;
but your quack humorist is one who
strings his jokes like beads, not ma
terially to Illustrate thought, but to
make his quips and quirlls constitute
the whole burden of his empty speech.
This effortless power of humor, Which
wraps some gifted men like an atmos-
phere, is very rare gift. 1t has been
possessed by none of our notable pub
lie men lin any large measure save Mr..
Reed and Abraham Lincoln. Great wit
and power of satire have been exhibited
in many of our leading statesmen but
fine humor has been denied to them.
Fine wit implies keen intellectual Wis
ion; fine humor implies more than this,
for human earnestness and sympathy
underlia humor, While fine wit does not
date from moral sensibility, but not sell
dom from intense cynicism of spirit.
The humorist belongs to the land of
sweetness and laughter and light III
literature, the land to which we may
fairly claim our own Hawthorne,
Lowell, Bert Harte and Holmes be-
longed, for they all had wit mingled
with wisdom, sense warmed and lighted
With feeling, moral sweetness and hu
name sensibility married to intellectual
light. Your true humoiist is the man
who makes the body and form and juice
OF all sound and lasting literature; he
is the fellow whose colors are always
fast; he is the philosopher of the per-
manent as separated from the transient
in human feeling and action. Your
mere satirist is different being. Your
humorist is an optimist; your satirist
is a pessimist. Your humorist is the
prODhet of the permanent while YOUR
