Our President.

Woodrow Wilson stands today as
the only man on earth exercising
power outside of his own country.
In more than a figuratiye sense he is
the temporary ruler of the world.
All hope of the restoration of peace,
sooner or later, must rest with him.
Meanwhile, the preservation of neu-
trality by America, the conciliation
of Mexico, the succor of all the ma
tions of the earth devolve upon this
country. This prestige must he
maintained and this power exercised
by the chief magistrate.
We believe that Woodrow Wilson
is equal to the emergency, but his
burdens are heavy and his personal
and public trials grievous to be borne.
He needs the help which every loyal
heart in America can render him to
a greater or lesser degree.
Call the expression of this help
prayers, or good wishes, or sympa-
thy, or what you will, it is a vital
force.
No true American in youth or age
ought to withhold this aid to the
president.-The Santa Cruz Surf.

Look Who's He c!

Uncle Joe Cannon may possibly
come back" now that he has obtain
ed a nomination in his congressional
district, but it is safe to say that
Cannonism will never be revived at
Washington. That passed away when
the autocratic speaker was stripped
of much OF his authority by a com
bination of democrats and independ-
ent republicans, and there has never
since been any disposition to go
back to the old ways. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Cannon's contemp-
tuous scorn of everything that is de
cent in politics had much to do
with his party's overthrow it is sur
prising to find a usually sensible
paper like the Boston Transcript,
referring to his triumphant return
to Washington, for so many years the
scene of his great labors for party
and for country" and saying that his
voice and guidance are needed in
republican councils. If they again
prevail it will be a bit of eXtraordi-
nary luck for the democrats. They
could ask for nothing better than
to have Cannon, Penrose, Payne,
Gallinger and similar reactionaries

MUTTON CHEAPEST MEAT.
Housewives Should Buy Mutton in
Quarters

Quarters.
Washington, Sept 25.-Food spec
ialists of the department of agricul-
ture who have been investigating the
subject find that there is a wide
variation in the prices asked for
lamb and mutton in different cities
and towns and even in different
butcher shops in the same locality.
In many places the prices asked by
the pound for these foods closely
approach the prices asked for beef
and pork. In other places, owing
is such a price difference between
mutton and beef as to make mutton
relatively cheap food. The spec
ialsts in the department of agri-
culture find that in nutritive value
and digestibility mutton is practi-
cally interchangeable with beef. The
waste is about the same percentage,
although mutton has a slight advan-
tage over beef in containing less
water.
In many markets where the pound
price Of mutton and lamb is high,
careful shoppers will find that they
can obtain this form of meat very
much lower by buying hind quarters
or half carcasses instead of buying
chops and roasts separately by the
pound. In this way the family fre-
quently will obtain chops at a price
per pound lower than that asked for
roast alone by the pound. Where a
half carcass is bought, in addition
to tie chops and roasts, the family
will have a fore quarter and meat
for stewing The sheep is very con
venient for purchase in this way
as it is small and can be kept in
an ordinary refrigerator. Frequent
ly families combine and buy whole
carcass and divide It, and in this
case gets still better prices and
obtain expensive cuts at a low
average per pound. The specialists
of the department advise women who
find the cost of other meats oppress-
i've to investigate these quantity-buy
ing methods and also to look into
the differences in prices charged for
lamb and mutton by different retail
ers in their neighborhoods,

London, Sept. 2j.-Peace seems far.
ther away than it did last week,
Public sentiment seems to be to the
effect that, as much as peace is to
be desired it should neither be
sought nor effected until the world
can have a permanent peace. All
of the various patriotic organizations
of both the warning and neutral
countries are making more vigorous
protests than ever against the bar.
barity of war. Lecturers on plat
forms in London during the past
week have, almost with concentrated
effort, decried the tragedy of invest
ing money in bullets that should be
spent in books, and the argument is
having its effect. When the bellig
erents begin to consider peace terms
this will be brought pertinently to-
ward the church during the past de,
cade. The French people holly re
sent such a suggestion, however, and
point to the fact that Germany is
as noted a country for her atheis,a
as ever France was. Be that as i,
may, it is certain that the war seems
to be bringing the government and
the church closer together. Hundreds
of nuns have been recalled from
Belgium while no one ever expects
to see a concordat in France again
it is quite possible that under the
new pope the war will induce a
better understanding between thC
government and the church.

OUTLOOK FOR
PROHIBlTION BRIGHT

Prohibitionists Of Abbeville:
Never before has the outlook for prohi-
bition been so promising. In every coun-
ty Of the State there are men at work cir
culating the petitions for the referendum.
Four counties have already called for ad-
dltional blanks, these being Laurens,
Darlington, Marlboro and Clarendon.
That prohibition can prohibit, and will
prohibit when we have faithful meE In Of
flee, is proved by the example Of Russia,
and the experience Of Kansas. This great
corrective measure was imposed upon the
people by the Czar, and the benefits have
been so apparent that We may expect it
TO continue in force permanently. Gin The
Outlook Of December Is, is Q fine study of
prohibi ition, which I very earnestly com:
mend TO yoHr e9nsiderationj
Our temperance forces are united in the
demand for prohibition: We favor the Pc
tition for a referendum because the Legis-
latnre will be much more :eady to grant q
referendum, thereby submitting the ques'
! tioH to the people, than to enact law out
right, without clearly expressed demand
: by the people; furthermore. a campaign
,, for prohibition will be not only educative
but will evoke compelling sentiment fol

ward the enforcement OF the law.
