Bryan and the Veterans.

The Hon. William Jennings Bryan
was at Richmond last week when the
monument to President Davis was
unveiled. His course on that occasion
will win him more friends in the
South than he ever had before. There
were thousands of Confederate vet
Grams there, but there was to be no
politics in the gathering Of the men
who wore the grey and their de-
scendents, therefore Mr.. Bryan re-
fused to be lionized. We agree with
the Florence Times in his retiring
before the acclaim of the populace,
he won more friends than he would
have made by the best speech he
could have given them. Bryan has
shown himself to be what is always
admired in the south, especially, a
man of delicacy of feeling and senti-
ment.

Thursday in Charleston and thrown
under the fender of the car. which
passed over her child sbody, without
doing more than inficting few lit

ductors, and passengers on the car
shut their eyes with horror when the
little girl disappeared under the fea-
der, and were afraid to look back to
expecting to see mass of torn and
mangled flesh. To their lncredlole
eyes appeared the negro child, quiet
stretched out in the dirt, but showing
no signs of serious hurt, and later
she revived and yelled as Justify as
as did her mother, when she learned
of the accident.

Beginning of the Shave.

In the time of Alexander the Great
it was found that when troops came
in conflict the beard offered a good
handhold for the enemy. Alexander,
who was wise old geezer, readily
saw that if his own soldiers were
given a shave and haircut they
would have immense advantage over
the unbarbered enemy. The whole
army was made to shave and cut its
hair, and the result was that A(exan-
der licked everything in sight, and
sighed for more worlds to conquer.

Round to Come.

The United States may as well get
ready to fight it out with Japan.
Nothing but a war with this country.
will ever satisfy the egotistical Japa-
nese. They think because they.worst-
ed Russia, they can turn down any
nation on the globe. When the time
comes tie United States viii teach
them better, and it will take good
thrasfing to knock the conceit out
of them Graf Won Reventlow, an
officer of the German navy and a
writer Of authority on army and navy
topics, takes it for granted that a
great war is to be fought between
Japan and the United States. He is
not the only one in Europe who be-
lieves that war is inevitable between
the United States and Japan.
The Baron says the Philippine Is
lands will be the matter Of dispute.
In a book just published this writer
declares that the Philippines consti-
tute the great disturbing factor in
the world peace. These islands, he
says, will be the apple of discord in
the near future. He points out that
upon the completion OF the Panama
canal these islands will be Of inestim-
able value as trade center between
the American continent and the Far
East, and they will be harmful to the
commerce of both England and Jap
an.
The Baron goes on to say that
nothing is more probable than that
the rulers of Japan see in the United
States of America the great danger
of their future, though it is not like
ly that they covet the Philippines
for immediate occupation. These nat
urally exert their influence also, for
it is group of islands Of great nat
ural wealth. They produce what Ja-
pan needs and requires no such
lengthy development as Korea and
Manchuria. Great as the desire for
their conquest may be among the
mass Of the japanese people, the
government would be strong enough
to hold them in check until the psy-
chologic moment could be seized,
But should the question Of pride Of
race arise it would be a different
matter. Then populace, government
and mikado would beunited to strike
for supreme domination Of the Far
East, the fetch of the japanese.
He thinks that in any event the
East Asiatic market would be lost to
the United States and that this coun-
try would most certainly resolve
upon and carry forward war Of re-
venge. Money. shipyards and tech
nical knowledge" he says, would
enable the Americans shortly to
builda monster feet far outstrip-the
Japanese" Then, of course, Japan
would be made to feel the strong arm
of power. She would emerge from
a war with the United States broken
in fortune and humiliated before the
world. The indemnity she would
have to pay would baHErunt her for
generations. It woulu ,:.' Il r. on tie

United States.

JAPAN seems to be determined to
pick a row with the United States.
The United States will not be in a
hurry to go to war, but when she
gets fighting mad Japan will be lucky
if the end of it does not witness
her relegation to a fourth or fifth
rate power. We have the money
and the men, and what ships we
lack we can soon build.

WHAT IT MEANS
With the City Plant Out Of
Commission.

Now in this hottest season of
the year, with the plant shut
down, with no water and no light
it is necessary to exercise the ut.
most care to prevent fires, and to
back up the mayor and the coun-
Gil in the measures they take,
such as the appointment of extra
watchmen, etc., to patrol the city
at night to that end. There are
several very grave dangers con-
fronting the city, which will grow
daily.
ID The danger of fire,-al.
ways present in hot weather from
spontaneous combustion.
(2) The danger from typhoid.
We have already q number of
cases in the city, and if the sew
ers are not flushed shortly and
the people relieved from breath
ing the powdered manure and the
effluvia of cess-pools and rotted
garbage, the typhoid epidemic OF
1901 will not be a patching TO
what we will see this summer.
Much might have been done to
make this situation more tolerable
by backing up the mayor and the
Democrat in their efforts to get
the city cleaned up last spring.
Something might be done by get
ting water from the ice plant t.
keep the sewer system flushed
now. II the present condition
lasts, the people will be dying
like flies.
(3)The Ices through increase in
insurance rates. If there should
be a fire, and an insurance com.
psny be caught, there would cer-
tainly be an increase in rates
that would cost the citizens sever
al thousands of dollars before the
rate could be reduced to it's former
level.
These dangers are real. The
typhoid proposition was put up tc
us by one If the local physicians

is further incommoded by having

TO TULSA
President Joe Smith and Sec
retary E. B. Ties to see
Garfield
Cruosday,s DaIlyJ

AT a meeting of the executive
committee of the Commercial
club held at the Democrat office
last night, President Joe Smith
and Secretary Z. b. Teis were
sent to Tulsa to interview the
Secretary OF the Interior, who
will be there on the afternoon OF
the 14th. The purpose of the
trip is to ask Secretary Garfield
to have the preparation of the
regulations of Indian minors
lands hurried, 30 that the Com
mercial club may acquire title to
sight for a cotton seed oil mill
by purchase before December 1.
Messrs. Smith and Teis are in.
structed to see Mr.. Garfield if
they have to follow him all over
the Indian Territory, waylaying
him on the trains il necessary.
The difficulty with regard to
the mill site is that it must be
decided to Mr.. Wooten by Dec, /.
The law authorizing the sale OF
Indian minors lands was passed
March A, last, and the reply OF
the Indian office to the gapplica.
ton OF the Commercial Club
through Indian Agent Blackmon
was a slight smile and an intima.
ton that in the sweet bye and
bye regulations would be pre-.
pared under which the land could
be conveyed as the expiration oi
the clubs contract is dreadfully
definite while the Indian Office
regulations are not, it is thought
that Secretary Garfield may be
disposed to come to the rescue
with a polite suggestion for the
clerk in the Indian office who is
taking his most leisurely tims
about it.
Messrs. Smith and Teis leave
tonight and the period of theil
Ieturn is uncertain.
