MIR. BRYAN STILL AGIThTING.

49, ,-.-.-.-l-.--,-
We have about come to the con
clusion that Mr.. Bryan. in his peace
propaganda, is bent more upon
furthcring his own political ends than
he is in preserving peace for the
United States. In the last issue uf
The Commoner he makes an address
to its readers, in which he tries to
appeal to popular prejudice. Mr..
Bryan says, THE preparedness now
demanded will provoke war instead
Of preventing it. Peace among ma
tions, as among individuals. rests
upon friendship and good will not
upon force or fear
The object of making additional
preparation in the event of war
against the United States is not for
the purpose of using force or put
ting any other nation in fear, but to
place the country in such a position
that it will not be at the mercy of
any country that might attack us
The United States in times past has
found itself wholly unprepared for
war. We do not know what is ahead
of us, and it would be sheer folly
to act upon his IDEAS and depend
upon the friendliness of other coun-
tries to keep at peace with them.
Mr.. Bryan is carrying his peace-at-
any-price ideas entirely too far. All
he will accomplish viii be to en-
barrass the Democratic administra-
ton i'm its efforts to bring the army
and navy up to such standard as will
make il respected by other nations
Mr.. Bryan has talked and aeitated
enough. 1t is time for him to take
a back seat.

As "Thc Era" Saw II.

Lancaster was wise in holding her
second annual fair this year and she
was also wise in not postponing the
date for holding it, as the results
have shown. The weather last year
and the stress occasioned by the war,
discouraged many and caused several
counties to call off their fairs this
year. and they never made a greater
mistake. The very eXertion itself, to
have a fair, is worth all it costs, as
it is an effort to do something worth
while.
The exhibits at the Lancaster fair
were most creditable. They could
have been more numerous in the agri-
cultural department. We can think
of a dozen farmers within radius
of five miles of Lancaster who could
have added materially to the success
of the fair, who were not represented
there in any degree by the products
of their farm. 1t should not have
been the case. The incorrect infer
ence is, that only a very few farmers
in the county possess anything worth
displaying on such an occasion. Then,
too, it led almost to the overshadow-
ing of the fair by the carnival, which
was far too conspicuous by it's more
numerous and elaborate display Of
tents on the fair ground.
We do not know it to be the case,
but we venture the guess that too
few had to assume the responsibility
and perform the toll necessary to the
success Of such an important under
taking, which Is a gross injustice.
Such task requires a distribution
of the work among many in order to
make the best success of it. A great
many times people can do themselves
great injustice by their neglect or re-
fusal to contribute help in public
enterprise for the good of all
We do not want to be understood
as criticising adversely, but rather as
offering friendly suggestions in n
proper spirit. The Lancaster fair was
very creditable, and its promoters
deserve the highest commentator.
They did we'll to undertake it and
their efforts were attended with sue
cess, and we congratulate them.
They deserve the thanks of all who
attended. d.-Kershaw Era.

FOR IMPROVED STREETS.

Lancaster has more paved side
the state and We have reason TO be
proud OF this fact. We have Il great
white way on our Main street, four
blocks OF which are paved. All this
marks us as progressive people.
wise enough TO see the need of perma-
nent improvements. But another
step must be ,aken, a step without
which we cannot move forward. We
refer to the neglected streets. EX-
cept for the asphalt paving on Main
street. there is scarcely block on
any street in town which is kept in
good condition. Bordered on both
sides with good pavements, the inter
vening space attracts particular
notice because OF it's sad plight. In
dry weather many streets are deep
in ruts. while during and after rains,
they are ankle deep in mud Even
those streets in better condition are
not what they might be. We wish it
were possible to pave every street in
town. but since that is out of the
question. they can, at least be drag
ged and worked. And this most
needed improvement should be made
before the winter rains set in The
street crossings have too long been
neglected. They, at least, should be
put in proper condition before bad
weather comes. The experience of
last winter is sufficient for many
years and those who waded through
mud and slush deserve something
better now. The hollows in the streets
should be filled in and smoothed
over and the streets dragged after
every rain. Nobody wants to sit
still in growing town like Lancas-
ter. The wonderful progress we have
made should spur us on to finish the
task. No other work so needs the
attention of the town authorities.
whom we urge to undertake this
street improvement. Perhaps only
a few more weeks of good weather
remain in which to do regular work
on the streets. 1t is imperative,
therefore, that a prompt start be
made. We hope this plea will be
ieeded and that work will soon begin.
Let's do it now

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

7'V'v'v'
Read the following from The State
and see If you can explain why juries
discriminate between corporations
and individuals:
"A railroad company purchased a
dozen automatic pistols and conceals
them, in easy reach, under the seats
in coach, for the convenience and
protection of passengers against train
robbers. Two unarmed passengers
engage in quarrel and one of them
snatches one Of the railroad COM
pany's gums" concealed under the
seat and kills the other.
Where is the jury in South Caro-
Ina that would not give a verdict OF
S25,000 damages to the widow Of
the dead man against the railroad
comrany?
Where Is the jury that would not
send to ia'l the railroad president who
ordered the guns placed in the car?
IF a mere man conceals n gun
on his nerscn, " 8 a trivial offense.
WHY is life worth about one
hundred times so much when 1t is
aiken by a. corporation, though by
accident. in South Carolina, than a
life taken by man?
lis Il not true that a he'fer calf
lied by a railroad Is reckoned of
more valve in South Carolina than a
man shot down in a street brawI or
private quarrel?"

We hope our farmers will not rely
on the grain supply of this year to
che cotton acreage. There is going
TO be great demand next year for
foodstuffs and the man who plants
grain will be able to sell 1t for good
price, when cotton is perhaps bring
fns less tnan the cost of production.
Nobody knows when the European
war Will end but common sense
teaches us that as long as the war
continues the demand for grain will
Increase, while there will be less and
less demand for cotton.

The strong and aggressive note
sent by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing to Great Britain, insist
ing that the rights of the United
States as a neutral nation, shall not
be interfered with, is bound to bear
fruit, just as similar position with
Germany did. Both Germany and
Great Britain have taken positions,
which cannot be maintained if the
United States will take firm stand
and hold it.
