The Intelligencer acknowledges with appreciation the many kind remarks mad? yesterday aB to its stand on tin great moral question now being tried In this community. Of course this newspaper could have remained silent, and have said nothing to indicate the position lt took, hut to have done this would have been to compromise with duty that was too plain to be shirk ed, as we saw lt. Of course there are those who will not agr<?<.?. with the po sition we have taken. We expected this. Wc are willing to grant those who differ from ns the right to their opinion, and we certainly expect as fair treatment on their part. It wa? gratifying to note thai those who are wit li UH are seemingly in the large majority in this community, and If we can read the handwriting on the wall, it will not be long till the presence of a blind tiger in An derson will be unknown. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished. We are sincere when we say that we wish them all well. We would much prefer that every man who ls guilty of selling Intoxicating beverages should voluntarily give up his avo cation and return to the ranks of those who work at a legitimate trade 'o make a living. It will be much better for them and for the commun ity to effect a silent cure of the evil. But, If there Is no uppeal from the standpoint of reason, then let the strong arm of the law stop in and 'oreo an obedience, and let tho good neople of the community assist in this great work.

THE BONDS IN THE FUTURE Io any member of the Legislature prepared to guarantee that ten or fifteen millions or thirty-five millions of dollars In South Carolina five per "eut. bonds can be Bold now at their face value? Where ls the Representative or Senator with such faith in the Issue that he would contract now to buy 15,000 of the bonds in October, 1915, at par? There are among he legis lators some men of large means. If the bond Issue should be nassed and ratified by the people and tt should result in adding ten millions af dollars to the public debt, and some voter inquires In 1916, "What has the State to show for the trebled State debt?" what will be the reply ot the men who voted the bonds? it the bond IBBUO should be voted md should result In trebling the State lebt, what would be the reply In 1916 to the question of a railroad conduc tor asking, "What benefit did we con luctors derive from the bonds?"

OTHER CRUSADERS It appears that Anderson is not the inly city Just now that ls in the throes >f a crusade against the presence of il ind tigers. Columbia business men lave awakened to the danger of al owlng the Illicit sale of liquor to con inue, and recently a number of them appeared before Mayor Griffith and he members ot the City Council re luestlng that steps be taken to put a itop to the sale of liquor Illegally Ia he city of Columbia. Thia awakening of the public con icience along these lines ls to be com nended. Laws are placed upon the itatute books for the purpose of cor .octlng evils, or supposedly sa So ong as any law Is not enforced lt does lot correct what it was intended to :orrect. Now. the enforcement of any aw depends upon a healthy public lentlment backing up the enforcement. This public sentiment ls either extst tnt in tho consciences of the people LS an inherent principle, or lt must >e aroused through some crusade. If t exists there Inherently, the enforce nent of law becomes easy on the part >f those who are entrusted with the luty of seeing that laws are carried ut. Where lt has to be created through tome agency, it is doubtful if the good .ffeels are so lasting as In the former :ase, but lt is desirable that it be there io matter how it ls created. Soiling liquor ia either a good thing kr lt is not It lt is a good thing for i community to have intoxicants sold, hen there should be no objection to t being sold In any quantity or In any saner. If lt is not a good thing, then t should he stopped at any cost. Es pecially Is U?s true when the sale of t ls forbidden hy law. Therefore no ?cuss can exist for its sal? In these ommuntties which have had the op portunity or* voting on the matter and lave decided hy their vote to outlaw he sale. Such community ta Anderson, nd the hatti?, being fought here now ?tween thc two forces ls being watch d with great Interest. Who shall win? Viii It b? the forces of .right or the orces ot wrong? We shall see. FOR THF PIHLIC DF.FFNDER If society needs a prosecuting attor ney to see that punishment ia meted out to its enemies, by that same token it needs a Public Defender to protect HA members who are accused of be ing its enemies. The Juvenile Court was a long step in the right direction. It gave our youth the square deal. Now let's institute the Public De fender and give the poor and needy a chance for their white alley. Every person, no matter how impe cunious and down and out he may be, is entitled to a fair trial. He cannot net it without money, be cause without money he cannot pro cure a good lawyer. Without a good lawyer to offset the prosecuting at torney, who is always a good attorney, he does not get an even break. Hoost for the Public Defender. The Billboard. A TRil'MPH OF TRACTION Before the beginning of war in Eu rope there had been a great deal of prophesy concerning the prominence the automobile would assume as a fac tor in the warfare, but it seems that nobody foresaw that lo motor traction would be due the greatest change in the fundamentals of war that has ever )ccurred. As far back as history goes here have been forts and sieges. Pur ifications have alwayB been relied pon to withstand attack, and have been changed in form as changes in irmament have suggested the neces sity of improvement. The blockhouse >f pioneer days in America was im .regnable to the attacks of savages .rmed with aboriginal instruments o' /ar or with firearms other than can ion, which the Indians rarely succeed d in acquiring. The walls which stll urround some of the Asian and Euro pean cities were In their day safe igalnst all attacks save those of Bot tlers who contrived to scale them. The \igh, thin masonry walls of the "Red Fort" of the Mughul Emperors of In ila were impregnable to arms that could be turned against them, al though they would be no protection igalnst light field pieces nowadays. The modern fortifications, such as those of Liege, Namur and Antwerp, /ere regarded as impregnable upon he supposition that there waa limit above which the weight of cannon for field use could not go. But the mili tary engineers did not take into ac : r.u;;t !Lu yuooiuiiiiieB ut motor trac tion. It was for a long time stub bornly believed that mule power would always be the only practical form of traction fer cannon across country. Automobiles, lt was held, would mire sf their own weight where there were DO roads, and at first there were no models built to cope with uneven sur faces. There are now "four-wheel drive" trucks which can. climb over almost my sort of obstruction and scramble In and out of ditches with amazing ?daptabillty to difficulties formerly re garded as Insurmountable. There are giant trucks which can cross com paratively boggy stretches drawing ifter them siege guns larger than were formerly regarded a* possible nobile arms. When it was announced that the \nstrians would use a twelve-Inch Seid gun lt was popularly believed hat it could not be dci.o. Now the Jarman Forty-two centimeter, or slx '.een-and-a-half inch gun is being tauted about by tractors and used with rreslstible effectiveness 'against the nost modern fortifications. A six ty pent i me tor gun for use against for tresses ls now reported to be in the netting. The rumor ls more credible mw Utan the report ot Austria's welve-lnch field gun was when the vas began. It has been demonstrated hat the possibilities ot motor traction 1 ire such that it cannot be longer said 1 .hat any gun designed for field use :ai.noi be tra ns po rt cu. The German forty-two centimeter run weighs twenty-six tons, yet it ls noved with certainty and does exe cution wholly impossible where light >r guns are used. The clxty-centimet >r cannon MU weigh, perhaps, forty ona Of course, the Kropps can * make rans aa large aa they believe to be ?tactical.

"By the President nf the United State-, of America: o u A Proclamation. p o "lt has lonvi been the honored custom of our people to o o turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanks- o o Riving to Almighty God for His Many blessings and mercies to o o us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a close since o o we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, p o while a year cf discipline because of the mighty forces of war o o and of change which have disturbed the v/orld, also a year of o o special blessings for us. o o "lt has been vouchsafed to us to remain at peace, with o o honor, and in some part to succor the suffering and supply the o o needs of those who are in want. We have been privileged o ^o by our own peace and self control in some degree to steady o o the counsels and shape the hopes and purposes of a day of o jo fear and distress. Our people have looked upon their own o o life as a nation with a deeper comprenension, a fuller realiza- o o tion of their responsibilities as well as of their blessings, and o o a keener sense of the moral and practical significance of what o o their part among the nations of the world may come to be. o o "The hurtful effects of foreign war in their own industrial o , o commercial affnirs have made them feel the more fully and o o see the more clearly their mutual inter-dependence upon one o o another and has stirred them to a helpful co-operation, such o j as they have seldom practiced before. They have been o j quickened by a great moral stimulation. Their unmistak- o j able ardor for peace, their earnest pity and disinterested sym- o o pathy for those who are suffering, their readiness to help o j and to think of the needs of others, has revealed them to o .J themselves as well as to the world. o o "Our crops will feed all who need food; the self-pos- o o session of our peopkiaamidst the most serious anxieties and dif- o o liculties and the steadiness and resourcefulness of our busi- o o ness men will serve other nations as well as our own. o o "The business of the country has been supplied with new o o instrumentalities and the commerce of the world with new o xj channels of trade and intercourse.
