Cannot Be Retroactive.

The position which the State Depart
ment will assume. however. is that no
such British legislation as the trad

retroactive effect in this country. While
it might be permitted to apply to cor
porations organized since The begin
ming of the war, with purposes sup
posedly hostile to the allies. the de-

be extended TO cover corporations Or

country are under Instructions not to

No Mediterranean War Zone.

1t is assumed here, however. that the
settlement of the problem arising out
of the Mediterranean campaign was
far easier than the Lusitania problem
because the foreign Office was able to
take the stand that the campaign in
the Mediterranean was waged under
different conditions than in the war
zone proclaimed around the British
Isles. The Mediterranean was never
proclaimed war zone.
The foreign Office was BILE. therefore,

Target of Attacks.

So far as can be judged from the re-
ports of the committee proceedings APP
pearing in the press, virtually no crit
icsm is directed against the workings
of purely military censorship. The
deputies apparently are convinced that
the military authorities are the best
judges of what may and what may not
be published without danger to the
country. The attack is leveLed against
the political features of the censorship.
The censors' arbitrary measures and
their lack of understanding for the
problem of newspaper publishing ara
complained of. Even Goethe has fallen
under the bar of the censor. who has
stricken out quotations from the great
German poet.
\ representative of the center urged
the military authorities to be liberal
in readmitting foreign and German
correspondents to the front in the IN
terests of Germany herself. The great
victories of the Serbian campaign, for
example. had not been appreciated
abroad. particularly in America, he de-
clared. owing to the failure to permit
correspondents to follow the operations

British Point of View.

The British point of view is that
there can be no sound objection by the
United States to the execution of the
trading with the enemy" act. for the
reason that its provisions are applied
absolutely without discrimination as to
nationality: British corporations are
required to refrain from trading with
the enemy precisely as are American
corporations doing business in Eng
land. Such measures of defense are
generally adopted in war time. and IT
is declared by British officials that the
Supreme Court of the United States
upheld the legality of similar action
by the federal government during the
civil war in this country
The issue came sharply to the front IN
Canada recently because much of the
stock of the Canadian Pacific railroad was
owned by Germans. but il was held
that so long as this was not con-
trolling interest, that the board Of
directors was not actuated by German
influences and that the attitude of the
corporation generally was not anti
British in its dealings, there could be
no objection to it's continuing business
relations with England. 1t is under
stood that the same doctrine would be
extended to American corporations, so
that even though a copper company
might have minority of German
stockholders and of German directors
on its board. it still might be permit
ted to do business in England.

United States Unlikely to Submit to

Country.

Extension to the United States of the
provisions of the Britisf trading with
the enemy" act, as indicated in com
plants received from New York COM
panies, will call forth a decided protest
from the State Department. So far
only preliminary inquiries and state
ments have reached the State Depart
ment. whose principal sources of in
formation in regard to the British
plans in this respect are derived from
the press dispatches.
There is every indication, however;
that the department already views the
matter as one warranting close atten-
ton and study. with view to speedy
action in tine nature of a protest as
soon as the material facts are at hand

we tried very hard to get our people

Newberry, Saluda and Edgefeld. That

MORE ABOUT HOME PRODUCTS.
A reader of intelligence and obser-
vation agrees with The Index about
the Importance of using home pro-
ducts, but asks why it should be a
mark of patriotism to eat sorghum,
when it is possible to have as good
table syrup made here as in Georgia
or in the lower part of the State. One
cannot do it as a commercial venture
and find it profitable but there is no
reason why one cannot have ones
own table syrup. Good. Why not?
And as an ansewr, we note our Cal

We notice Gnat some of the papers
are saying that Mr.. McLaurin should
resign as Warehouse commissioner
because he deos not agree with the
administration and exercised his right
not to support Manning for governor,
and one paper goes so far as to sug-
gest that the legislature would be wise
to request his resignation. And yet
these same fellows are continually
saying that there is now no longer to
be factionalism and that all the peo-
pie must now get together.
We not recall that any of them
suggester that Ebbie Watson ana
Fitz MsMaster and several others,
who did not agree with Blease' some
four years ago and who exercised
their right to oppsoe his election, re-
sign because they did not agree with
the administration. And yet these
fellows are wiping out factionalism.
As a mater of fact McLorin was
the father of the warehouse plan and
but for his efforts there would have
not yet been any warehouse system.
We do not mean to intimate that he
is indispensable to it's continuance, but
because he exercises his right as q
free citizen to. vote as he pleases we
do not see why he is bringing politics
into the system any more than any
other Office holder who does the same
thing. If We poor human creatures
could just see that the shield had two
sides, and while it was red on one
side it might be white on the other
we would be in IA better position to
Judge one another. A good rule in
Judging human conduct is to try to
put yourself in the other fellows
place, and stand on the corner occa-
sionally and see yourself go by.

Tuesday, October 10, 101s.

There is good deal of talk about
a bolt and strange to say most Of
it, and, in fact all that we have seen,
comes from the Manning papers, and
Ghey are dong the talking for the 9TH
er fellow who has said nothing. AS
for us and The Herald and News We
are in no notion Of bolting and will
support the nominees.
In fact, we never were sQaealsr
or a bolter We always stick and
bake our medicine like a little man.
1t is true, as some one has said, that
it takes "a bigger man to be a man IN
defeat than in victory. WE know
some very tiny little small men who
have been elected to ofhcoe and some
OF them won again in the recent pri-
maries. 1t will always be so.
So far as we are concerned we
have had no idea Of boiling and nev-
er have thuogh we have sometimes
been convinced that defeat came from
unfair and wrong means on the part
of the opposition. But we firmly be-
lieve in the rule and dominion OF a
Just and righteous God who rules the
universe and THAT sooner or later the
right will prevail and justice will be
done and the one who wins by unfair
means will suffer more than we will,
If our cause and our means he just

shall be. The man who votes against

patriot and man should do, will suf-
fer more than we will, even though
he gains temporary victory and en-
compresses our defeat. Victory gained
by fraud and prejudice and double
dealing will prove a boomerang to the
man who gains it. This is as true
as that there is a God in heaven who
rules and directs the destiny Of men.
