manufacturer. These men want no
offices and have no axes to grind.
Their prosperity is wrapt up in the
prosperity of the country. But let
them undertake to have a hand in
political matters, and undertake to
advise the people for their best in
terests and the politicians get busy.
For thirty years these men have
been misrepresented by the politi-
clans, and, as 8. consequence have
been misunderstood by the people
in the country. They r to be
trusted in all business matters.
When money is to be borrowed, or
help must be had to run the farm,
or when a purchase of a home is I'M
der consideration, they are always
called on to give advice and to fur
nish assistance, but when politics is
the subject before the house they
are designing men, trying to take
advantage of the public.
We hope that the people over the
country will begin to learn that,
while the great heads of big bust
ness are to be looked after by the
law just as ordinary mortals, never
theless, they have left in them as
much of patriotism as the most of
US, and they are willing, and best
of all able, to help the government
in the time of need, and to put
their shoulders to the wheel and
keep them there. And while we are
learning that, may the people know
that it is not always the politician
on the stump abusing other men
and undertaking to stir up preju-
dice against this or the other class
who is the real friend of the people.
Those men back at home who ask
nothing in politics, except a square
deal for themselves and the bust
ness in which they are engaged are
entitled at least to fair considera-
ton. And generally speaking a
man may safely listen to the ad-
vice of his friend in matters of
politics if he may listen to his ad-
vice in matters of business.

general moderation of whose views
all of us know, leaves us more than
a little surprised. Consumption and
Home Rule, disastrously linked to-
gether by the British Government,
cannot be achieved without present
bloodshed and lasting hate" That
Government must "set up immedi-
ately a responsible government in
Ireland" When the bill is passed,
to an Irish Executive of representa-
tive and responsible men should be
given "the task of setting up a Par
Lament as quickly as possible, pro-
noting voluntarily recruiting" "The
Ir.sh people, given their own instru
nent of g>verIre' would quickly
show the world their real attitude
in this war" After four gears,
their WI parochial concerns attend
ed to, "the Irish people" will so con-
descend to take notice of the
wrongs of civilization. Give us
Home Rule, and we will, or may,
enlist. What %sacrosanct dignity of
an Irishman of Ireland shelters him
from CONSUMPTION? Why is he so
much better and nor privileged
than "a common ordinary" Ameri-
can or Canadian? Sir Horace speaks
of the English Inability to under

THE REAL PATRIOTS.

The day of real action has come.
The politicians and Office seekers
have been for a long while industri-
ously telling US about the crimes
and misdeeds of the "malefactorS
of great wealth." and of "big bust
ness 'and of the Interests" and so
on. 1t begins to look now that some
of this talk was what is sometimes
known as "demagogical bosh," and
intended only for political con-
sumption. The people who have
been taught to distrust the great
captains of industry in this country
have lived to see the government
compelled to call on them to make
things move in time of war. Charles
NJ. Schwab, and Ryan, and the
Steel Corporation have now been
called on to do for the government
what others have failed to do, and
what only these big men, and cor
porations like the Steel Corpor-
alton, can do. And they will put
the job across.

things which happen at home. We

patch. :.
Ireland runs over with prosperity.
Her farmers, fattened by British
legislation, have been rushing about
in automobiles to Sim Fein meet
ings.. Some of them refused to sell
food to British and American sail
ors. There is money enough for lux
uries, for abundant races. Irsihmen
eat of the fat and drink of the
sweet, while England lives narrowly
and is partly rationed. The Sim
Feiners have long had time and
money enough to make all the trou-
BILE for England, to give all the help
to Germany that they can.
Now Nationalist and Sim Feiner
are united to oppose CONSUMPTION
and as a testimony to "the wrongs
of Ireland" Dublin is able to SUBJ
scribe largely to a fund whose OBJ
ject, however disguised, is aid to
Germany. Such must be the direct
result of the anti-conscription move
ment in Ireland, no matter what
wrongheaded loyalists r Joined
with Sim Fein rebels or revolution
lists, would-be founders of an Irish
Republic.
The world has heard somewhat
too much about "the wrongs of Ire
land" Long-continued and black
as they were, they are of the past.
Fer a generation the English demo-
cracy has sought to confer benefits
upon Ireland, to redress old injuries.
If the Irish of Ireland haven't had
bestowed upon them everything they
want in the way of self-government,
whose foult is it but their own? Is
England to blame for the quarrel of
Irishmen?
Has Ireland forgotten the foul i'm
medicable wrongs dcne by Germany
to civilization, the wrongs of Bel
GUM, Serbia, Armenia, the murder
of noncombatants on sea and land,
the German parodies of sacred Cath
olic ceremonies, the Staying of
priests, the proclamation and destruc-
ton of church and cathedral, the re-
introduction of slavery, robberies,
deportations, almost four years of
incredible cruelties and bestialities?
1t seems so. To their kinsmen here,
to their old friends in America, the
.abstention of so many Irishmen of
Ireland from the war, their dallying
with Germany, is unintelligible,
monstrous.

THE RED CROSS.

Almost one year ago we had a
campaign to secure funds for the
American Red Cross to enable it to
send help to the suffering soldiers
in France. One hundred millions
of dollars were freely given by the
American people, a %stupendous sum,
it seems to some of us, but small in
comparison with the great work
which these soldiers of humanity's
cross have done.
After a year the call comes to us
again. When we were asked for
assistance before not more than a
handful of American soldiers were
in France. What we did then was
for the gallant men of the overseas
Republic, and for the suffering wo-
men and children who were left at
home to endure all the hardships
brought to them by a cruel war.
Today the call comes to US to
help not only these same people but
to provide for the men from the
United States, from South Carolina,
from Abbeville County, and from
our own homes and firesides, that
help which soldiers need most of all
when stricken down by enemy bull
lets on the battlefield.
The money which is given by the
people of this county and by the
people of this city goes to employ
nurses, to secure doctors, to
erect hospitals, to furnish medicines
and all other things necessary to
make tolerable the condition of the
three thousand South Carolina men,
including many from this county
and this city, who today are per,
haps, on the high seas, going across
to battle for the freedom of man.
kind, and to offer their lives for
that freedom as much so as when
our forefather's offered theirs when
we first sought to be independent.
Will the people help? With a
mighty good will they should and
will come to the rescue of the
wounded boys in France. This war
is taking out of the hearts of peo-
pie of this country selfshness and
greed and the great desire to make
money which has possessed u peo-
pie too long. 1t is opening the
hearts of the people to the calls and
claims of humanity and Christianity
as nothing else can do.
Across the waters, the boys are
calling to you, to come over and
help them. Will you 60? Your
answer will be given to the COM
mittees which shall visit you in the
interest of the American Red Cross.
