LODGE VERSUS LODGE

In order to get up an issue upon
upon which the Republican party may
get back into power some of the
leaders are adopting queer tactics.
One of the big ideas is to oppose the
League of Peace, supposing that may
be popular and because it is advocat-
ed by President Wilson.
1t was to be expected that with a
presidential election approaching
some of the leading Republicans
would adopt the anti-peace league
plan as sure road to the White
House. But it is to be regretted that
some Democrats, in and out of Con-
gress, joined the Republicans in OPP
posing the Peace League and, of
course, opposing the President.
Democrats helping the Republicans
to make an issue are, to say the least
of it, in very poor business and might
be much better employed.
In this connection it is not little
amusinr to find that Senator Lodge,
with a presidential "bee in his bon
net" is in opposition to the Peace
League proposition, swallowing his
own words, as he at first advocated
The plan that the nations Of the world
| have maturcd.
In 1915 before Senator Lodge be.
gan to listen to the buzzing Of the
bee, he delivered an address in which
he used the following language:
in order to presesve peace and order

GOOD ROADS IN MT. CROGHAN

All eyes are on Mt. Croghan just
now. She is to be the first township
in the county to vote on the question
of good roads. Other townships have
voted increased tax levies that have
helped fill the holes in the existing
roads and made minor improvements,
but Mt. Croghan comes forward with
business proposition to put up $40,-
10000 in bonds, thereby securing an
equal amount from the Federal gov
ernment, the total amount of which
will provide $1,000 to the mile of
chartered roads in the township.
These roads are to be built under
the supervision of government road
expert. Public sentiment in that
township is said to be strong for the
proposition and we believe it will
be easily carried. Other townships
are sure to follow the lead Thus the
prospect for good roads in Chester
field county becomes brighter

OPPOSED TO CHAMP

Congressman A. F.. Lever, of South
Carolina, is opposed to Champ Clark
as Democratic leader of the next
House. In recent interview Mr..
Lever said:
1t is of utmost Importance to the
future success of the Democratic
party that the minority leadership in
the next congress shall be strong, ag.
gressive and in the fullest sympathy
not an enforced sympathy, with the
plans and purposes of the President
of the United States, who for six
years has been the elected spokesman
and leader of his party"
Public sentiment, as well as that OF
returning soldiers, favors a league
OF nations, said Mr.. Lever, adding
that mo man can be selected to lead
democrats in the next house who does
not in full measure believe in this
doctrine"
Champ is from Missouri and will
have to be shown, but there is little
doubt now but he will be shown
The people are with the President
are in no mood to sympathize with
disgruntlcd politicians who try to EN-.
barass him.

AMERICAS BOND

Four Liberty Loans have gone into
history, and the nation is now ready
20 make new record by oversub-
scribing the fifth.
Did the boys stop at Chateau
rhierry when told that they could
not go on?
"Go back?" they cried, "Why,
hell, we've just got here, and our or
ders are to 90 forwardW
That answer is history. You know
the rest of the story. That has al
ways been the answer Of the Ameri-
can people. 1t will always be the
answer of true patriots who refuse to
dim the splendor of the nations
achievements in war by an exhibition
Of avaricc in time of peace.
Our orders are to Ego forward"
There were many who made the su-
preme sacrifice in that advance. You
are not asked to do that. They offer
ed their young bodies. You are not
even asked to risk loss in cold cash.
Will you disgrace their memories or
diminish the glory Of their service by
pausing in the cheerful performance
Of an imperative duty?
Americas word of honor is al
stake. Are you going to dishonor
your bond because the guns have
ceased to fire? But for the splendid
fulfillment of their oaths of allegi.
ancc America would still be pouring
her men across the seas.
No failure is possible. The Anne.
rican people do not know how. The
boys finished the fight; now the bill is
being handed in. It's up to all of Us
to see that it's marked paid in full

ONLY RICH MEN CAN
AFFORD BAD ROADS

The following extracts are from an
editorial in The State of last Tues
day:
To dispute about whom good roads
would help and whom they would not
help is idle. 1t is certain that only
the rich can afford the use of the
automobile over the bad road and to
let the roads stay bad is to condemn
the poor man to be without ito be
without n means of transportation
that is revolutionizing travel in ev-
cry civilized country.
Meantime, the owners and users
of gasoline propelled vehicles are Of
fering to submit cheerfully to a class
tax, which would not fall upon other
people and from which other people
would derive an immense and con
tinuing benefit. They are aware that
they are losing millions upon millions
of dollars each year in the wear and
tear and maintenance of their vehic-
les that good roads would save and
SO, ungrudgingly, they ask the poor
privilege of giving freely a great
share in a benefit that their money
would create to other people. We
think that not in the history of tax
alton has any people been offered so
large and handsome a gift as the
owners of motor cars would like to
give to the non-owners, to the people
who walk, or drive horses, if they
be allowed to give it.

IN MEMORIAM
Grace Leona ADAM.

God moves in a mysterious way.
His wonders to perform. ."-Cowper.
1t is outside the realms of Christi
anity to interrogate the works of
God, yet we who are human are often
prone TO wonder why the one who is
the sunbeam Of the home should be
caught away by death just as the
morning dew is captured by the ris-
ing sun.
The subject Of this sketch was one
of the brightest rays in the home Of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. P. w. c..
Adams, of the Vaughndale COM
munity.
Though the lamp of her little life
shone only for eight years, yet dur
ing that short period she identified
herself as an unselfish, thoughtful
and sympathetic child, ever reflect
ing the feelings Of her little play
mates and most obediently regarding
the wishes of her parents and loved
ones. Grace was a child of rare i'm
tellectuaity. She Vas never physi-
cally strong and it seemed that her
physical weakness only developed
more quickly here mental under
standing.
During her last lines which lasted
for several weeks she seemed perfect
ly composed and bore her suffcrings
very, very patiently.
She was conscious that her death
was near at hand and often spoke Of
the event and when she would see the
shadows creep over the faces of her
loved ones she would cheerfully and
trustingly ask them not to weep for
her for she would soon be with Jesus
Among her final words were quite
an unusual request from a child of
her age: Pick up your cross" What
beautiful thoughts must have been
traversing the mind of the precious
dying child! Even at 80 early an
age it was evident that God had re-
Vealed to her the great truth that: !:
Life springs from death, and at the
end, the crown succeeds thy cross"
The parents can truly feel that
! there is strong tie that binds them
near to the merciful Father who has
seen best to take from them their ten
der little one.
zone less at home
The charmed circle broken; a
dear face
Missed day by rom it's &C.
customed place
But cleansed and saved and per-
fccted by grace
One more in heaven"

THE SAFETY OF THE COUNTRY
From The State, of Saturday, 22d:

From The State, of Saturday, 22d:
These paragraphs are taken from
the correspondence in The Chester
field Advertiser of the current week
from the town of Middendorf:
The fish fry and box supper given
at the home of Mr.. X. C. johnson on
last Friday was a success, both fnan-
cially and socially.
1.-The Baptist church will give box
supper on the second Saturday night
in April. They will also have ham
and chicken sandwiches, cake, pies,
homemade candy, coffee and ice
cream if the weather is warm enough
Come early and hear some good
music. Bring your friends with you"
We print them in the hope and
faith that they will cause the people
of Spartanburg, Boston, Charleston,
Washington, Greenville, Anderson,
New York and Columbia to feel some
better. The people of Middendorf
are in no wise dismayed. They have
pies, chicken and ham sandwiches,
fish, music and cake and, unlike the
people Of most other towns, they are
sensible enough not to have ice cream
unless the weather be warm.
In the thriving cities that are hun
cry for more population the disquiet
about the high cost Of living is no.
t!ccable, but good food is abundant
at the box suppers in Middendorf and
always is some to spare.
In many parts of the world fever
runs high and the capitalists and the
workers are delirious, Du. not so in
the thousands of little owns, healthy
and hearty, in Oregon, Maine, Texas
and Kentucky, like Middendorf, in
South Carolina, where everything
fourishes except the "Tndustrial
Workers of the World" and the
"Malefactors of Great Wealth."
But for towns like Midedndorf the
United States would not be safe fo.,
democracy.
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1919-03-27

The great nations must be SO united
as to be able to say to any single
country You must not go to war,
and they can only say that effectively
when the country desiring war knows
that the force which the united ma
tions place behind peace is irresist-
ible. In differences between
individuals the decision of the court
is final, because in the last resort the
entire force of the community is be-
hind the court decision. In differ
ences between nations which go be-
yond the limited range of arbitrable
questions, peace can only be main
tanned by putting behind it the unit
ed force of united nations determined
to uphold it and prevent war"
In this connection it is a little re-
markable that the opponents of the
league Of nations in this country have
strong ally in Europe in the press
of Germany. The league is charac-
terized by them as "an Anglo-Ameri-
can world domination" Another
German paper says, "The league is a
draft not of league of nations, but
4 league of arms against Germany"
Still another German editor terms
the "treaty a great disappointment;
merely AN instrument to maintain the
supremacy of England and Ame-
rica."
We wonder if Senator Lodge and
his Democratic supporters are proud
Of their allies.
