Very Best of Reasons.

The Columbia State says: 'We
advocate an instructed delegation
because we believe the people OF
South Carolina wish w. j. Bryan
nominated. We believe that the
principles of Democracy demand re-
spect for the will OF the people. We
believe that the delegation to the
convention is not sent to select a
candidate for the people but that it
is sent to record the choice of the
people and the only way in which the
people can make known their will is
by instructing the delegation. If
delegations are left free to act as
each individual may choose, where
do the people get voice in the choice
of candidate? The News and Cou-
rier speaks of delegations being 'fet-
tered when it is instructed, as if its
members had the right to dictate TO
the people of their State who should
be nominated, and as if those peo-
pie had no rights in the premises.
That is absurd. The delegation is
simply the agent of the voters; it is
| left free when those voters have no
choice" That is good solid Demo-
cratic doctrine and will be so receiv-
ed by all except very small class
who believe that the people have not
sense enough to elect and instruct
delegates. As the State says the
delegates represent the people and
the people should instruct them
what to do.

can be elected who is opposed by Mr..
Bryan, and it would seem to be i'm
possible for Mr.. Bryan to support
Judge GRAY"
WEI Not Hurt Him.

Mr.. Bryan is catching the votes
now. Democratic conventions are
being held in various States, and
they are goingy his way. Indiana
and North Dakota both instructed
for him last week. On the other
hand, the bosses of the Democratic
party in New York claim to be sure
of defeating Bryan in the national
convention. "Fingy" Conners,
chairman of the State committee,
declared at Albany on Sunday that
We've got Bryan hornswoggled
for sure, and if fellows in a half doz-
en- other States with whom we are in
correspondence do as we'll as we've
done, we'll beat Bryan, nominate
johnson and sweep the country next
November" The Charleston Post
says ''by we Mr.. Corners means
Charley Murphy, the chief of Tam
many. and others of the gang, but
doubtless they are backed by men of
standing and influence, who are US
ing the instruments they have at
hand to accomplish something that
should be done for the benefit Of
the party and of the country. 1t is
not very inspiring to the honest and
high-minded opposition to Bryan ov-
er the country to see the campaign
for defeat of the Nebraskan in the
hands Of such people as 'Fingy' Con-
ners and Charley NJ ply. though,
and it is not going to hurt Mr.. Bry-
an very much to have their hostility
to him advertised"

surrenders to the Corporations. .
A dispatch from New York says

surenders to the Corporations.
A dispatch from New York says
President Roosevelt's message,
which was sent to Congress on We'd
nesday, was received in Wall Street
with great JOY. It was interpreted
as message of peace to the corpor-
ations and there were rumors that
some very large campaign contribu-
tions had already been made last
week, as a result of it.
Although the message was not
published until noon Wednesday it
was freely circulated in Wall Street
the day before every statement con-
tanned in it having been known to
the brokers and having been printed
in the Wall street news slip.
The legislation proposed by the
president and formulated by Repre-
sentative Hepburn was regarded as
epoch-making. 1t was considered
the most important thing since the
emancipation proclamation.
The stock market which was mild
ly excited Tuesday showed Wednes-
day morning the effect of heavy sell
ing of all kinds Of securities. The
public purchased freely, believing
there would be an almost immediate
boom, both in stocks and business.
Brokers warned in vain against IN
discriminate purchases.
The legislation introduced by Hep
burn and backed by Roosevelt in his
message, was originally proposed by
Seth Low, in behalf of the Civic
Federation. Mr.. Low, President
Roosevelt, J. Pierpont Morgan and
Samuel Gompers, have held numer-
Gus consultations, Whipping IL INTO
shape. The president believes he
will be able to force it through con-
gress, but believing that itrepresents
a surrender to the trusts and Wall
street, many congressman are re-
ported bitterly opposed toit, and it is
expected there will be strong fight,
especially in the house.
Wall street expects the senate to
oppose the features, which recognize
stocks, while the house is expected tc
oppose most strenuously the clauses
against the boycott.

Scheme to Beat Bryan.

Bankers of New York are said to
have joined the movement, started
in that city some weeks ago. to pre-,
vent the nomination of William Jen.
nings Bryan by the Denver conven-
ton. The Herald reports that con-
ferences have recently been held be-
tween leaders of the movement and
certain bankers with view to hav-
ing some of the latter 60 to Den
yer as delegates. The idea is to have
the New York delegation uninstruct-
ed, and then let the bankers do mis-
sionary work against Bryan in the
convention city on other uninstruct-
ed delegates. So this is the scheme
adopted to head off the nomination
of Bryan, but it will hardly work
now that it has been made public
by the press. This is tie rea-
son possibly that The News and Cou-
rier and other anti-Bryan newspap-
ers are working 80 strenuosly to have
an uninstructed delegation sent from
South Carolina to the Democratic
convention. They want the delega-
ton worked on by the bankers.

Cropping After Truth.

In his groupings after truth, the
biologist is forced to conclusions
that often seem strange. DR.. c. A.
Stevens, or Norway Lake, Me-,
whose Natural Salvation" has
passed through four editions since
1908, contends that matter itself is
life, and that Immortality is repre-
sented by the indistructibility Of
matter. This matter has been living
from it's lowest and most attenuated
estate as ether through its aggrea-
cations into corpuscles, atoms and
molecules, which have generated sin
gle cells or protozoans. developing
into metazaons and eliminating in
the still progressing groups of cells
of the human brain, The corpuscles
and some of the atoms alone seem to
be immortal groups Of the primitive
ones. The single cells and the high
er organizations, perish as indivld-
uals, and need to be reproduced,
though matter lives on in ever
charging forms. Immortal life ap-
pears from this observers study of
the cell to be a stage of development
yet to be reached. Three-fourths of
the human race fall victims directly
or indirectly to the action of noxious
unicellular life, climatic conditions
capable Of control---are destructive,
reproduction is normally exhaustive,
and "old age" results from unsuita-
BILE food and imperfect nutrition.
Ten years of concentrated research
by a thousand we'll equipped investi-
gators should give chemical foods
that would leave in the organism
neither ash nor detritus. Freed
from old age" cloging and prevent
ible disease, with a certain mental
discipline that may be acqueired,
the brain cells seem planned to go on
forever and the perfection of an
immortal race is in accord with past
evolution.

He Would Not Do.

sented to appear as an open aspirant
for the Z emocratic nomination, and

erful interests.
The Charleston Post says Gin some
respects Judge Gray would make an
ideal candidate. He is known as a
conservative Democrat and he is also
in the good graces of the labor ele-
ment, his determination of the an
thracite coal strike issue having Civ
en- great satisfaction to workingmen
generally. 1t is difficult to see, how.
ever. how Judge Gray could com
mand the following of the Bryan
element in the country. In 1896 he
was an open supporter of the Palmer
and Buckner ticket, nominated by
the gold Democrats. In 1928, as q
member of the Paris treaty commits
sion, he negotiated the purchase
from Spain of the Philippines, and,
as member of the United Sta'es
Senate, he voted for ratiicat.1a Of
that treaty, the verv foundation of
the policy Of imperialism upon which
the country embarked. In 1900 Mr..
Bryan made his campaign for the
Presidency in opposition to imperial
ism as the paramount issue al
though he had urged Democratic
Senator's generally---and in vain to
vote ss Judge Gray voted for ratifi-
cation Of the Paris treaty. vudge
Gray thus appears as the very anthi-
thesis Of Organism. Now, it is ex-
tremely unlikely that any Democrat

Good as He Is Pretty.

The Newberry Observer says:
"Jaybirds are lovely---and lively.
The prettiest pictures in Audubo1's
Birds of America are those of the
blue jay. Joel Chandler Harris de-
fense of the blue jaHin Uncle Remus'
Magazine is one of the finest things
we have seen lately. The jaybird is
pretty, but it must be confessed he
isn't good" If the Observer will
get and read a bulletin issued by
the United States on the jaybird it
will have a better opinion Of one of
our handsomest birds. According
to that bulletin the farmer has no
better friend than the jaybird, which
lives principally upon insects of all
kinds. The jaybird is national
bird. It is found in every State of
the Union and a part of Mexico.
