There will be no peace from the
negotiations started by Germany at
this time. In his reply, President
Wilson puts at rest all fears that
any premature peace will be con-
Guided. Of course it is the earnest
wish of the American people to see
peace concluded, yet it is to be re-
membered that ten millions lives
have been given to crush Germany,
and it would be sheer folly now to
make peace simply in order to end
the war. One might ask oneself
what would Germany do if her ar
mics were marching voctoriously to
Paris or London or Washington?
Does anyone think for a moment that
she. would halt her armies and de-
clare an armistice or even talk peace?
Now is the supreme moment for the
crushing blow. Germany deserves
no quarter, and it is our sincere hope
that none will be given. The end is
in sight. let us buy bonds and go to
it, And the end will be reached
when allied armies march into Ger
many. The best answer America can
possibly give to Germany's so-called
peace offer is a six-billion dollar
liberty loan, oversubscribed.

Our subscribers are reminded that
The Herald is now cash in advance.
This is government instructions, and
The Herald does not intend to vio-
late any government regulations. On
October 5th about one hundred sub
scribers were taken off our lists be-
cause they had failed to renew their
subscriptions when their time had
expired. We disliked very much to
do this. Of course, nearly. all of
them have either already come back
into the fold or will do so, but it will
save a lot of trouble and confusion if
our subscribers will attend to this
small matter of renewing their sub
scriptions before the time expires.
We cannot agree to supply back is
sues, as we have signed an agree
ment with the government to cut our
consumption of news paper to the
lowest minimum, and we print just
enough copies to supply those on our
mailing lists. If you don't want to
miss ny-copies of the paper, be sure
to renew in advance before your
subscription expires.

A dispatch from France tells us
that a German mess sergeant, antici-

made sandwiches of it, which he serv-

We are rather surprised to note
the attitude assumed by some of our
good ladies because Senators Benet
and Smith deemed it their privilege
to vote against woman suffrage. A
number of articles have appeared in
some of the daily newspapers reflect
ing on the sincerity and honesty of
purpose of these gentlemen. We feel
that it is a senator's privilege to vote
against woman suffrage or any other
matter without having to be Will
fed for SO doing. The position taken
by Senator Benet is that he does not
consider that the people of South
Carolina desire woman suffrage, al
though we have an idea that personal
ly he favors it. That position is GER
tainly above reproach, and we have
no doubt that in taking this position,
Senator Benet has the approval of a
majority of the people of this State.
including the good ladies. We do not
know the grounds of Senator
Smiths vote against the suffrage
amendment, but presume he had
good reasons for the stand he took.
That there are arguments in favor
of woman suffrage no one doubts for
a moment, but at the same time we
do not think that suffrage ought to
be bridled on to a State without its
consent, and, without going into the
pros or cons of the matter, we feel
certain that the vast majority OF
South Carolinians know of many reas-
ons why woman suffrage would be
undesirable in this State. We shall
have to hear the voice of more wo.
men raised in its favor before we
disapprove of the vote of our sena,
tors.
