DON'T INSTRUCT DELEGATES

a glance at the editorial page of
the Orangcburg Times and Dem
ocrat shows an cntircruno Of BRIAN
editorials, ''%knocking'' the News
and Courier and other supporters
Of Bryan and boosting" the Ne
braskan. 1t says that Bryan is the
choice of an overwhelming MAORI
ty of the Orangeburg democrats
and yet takes up all the editorials
on this subject.
OF course it is none of our busi.
ness but we think that all this
'hubbub," and 'hurrah," about
Bryan is being carried too far. 1t
looks strange to us that if Orange
burg has gone for Bryan that the
Times and Democrat should
still take all their editorial space
in lauding him and presenting his
merits to the people.
AS a matter Of fact where there
is SO much smoke there is bound
to be some fire and we believe that
the Times and Democrat finds con
siderable opposition to the Ne
braskan or else it would hardly
waste SO much space on him. The
opposition must be feared.
AS we have said before we are
not opposed to w Bryan person
ally. He is a gcntlcmanly fellow
and onc of the greatest living
Americans. At the same time we
are opposed to an instructed dele.
CATION to the Denver convention.
The delegates should be left entire
iy free and not be hampcrcd and
bound by instructions.

Eel DEE CHAPTER
Pleasant Meeting al Home of Mrs.

An interesting program had been
arranged for this occasion and was
well carried out. Perhaps the most
entertaining feature was the read

of New York by Mrs. Ellcrbc.
After all business was transact

energy left for else. True in col
lege We are taught how to live
right, to treat our fellow man with
the spirit of brotherly love and to
do unto others as we would have
them do unto us. But when our
fellow man gets to doing us"
then we feel like doing" him.
And there is Il lot of this in the
world. We find lots of men diff
fcrcnt from what we supposed
them to be once we get to having
business relations with them. This
is one reason why college life pre-
scnts more roster view than real
life.
But if tho graduate will hold to
what has been taught through
college he will build Il firm and
sure foundation.

ic convention instructed for Bryan
but i've don't believe the people of
this county arc a unit in his favor.
True he would be acceptable, as
any democrat would, but we have
talked with some Of the leading
citizens and find that they are not
at all enthusiastic about him. One
of the leading citizens snid the
other day that he believed that
Bryan would be nominated and be
beaten. And this is what a lot Of
them think.
For our part VIC would like to
see the delegates to the conventions
chosen by a primary. That would
be a better way Of getting at the
feelings and wishes Of the people.
AS it stands one can't say what
their choice is. Only Il few attcn-
dcd the club meetings and still
fewer attended the convention.
We want to sec the primary plan
adopted and the delegation sent to
Denver uninstructcd.

GIVE HIM JUSTICE.

Senator Rayner made q splendid
speech in the senate on Tuesday in
the interest Of Colonel Stewart
and criticising the president for
banishing this officer to a deserted
army post.
From the facts it is gathered
that Stewart is persona non gra-
ia" to the president. He has tried
to get the officer to resign. Re-
peatedly he has promoted other
officers over his head. Stewart has
done splendid service and desires
to retire with the rank of Briga-
der General. This the president is
determined that he Shall not do and
on some trivial charge he washaul-
ed before a court composed, with
n exception, OF men who had
been appointed over his head. This
packed court decided that Stewart
was unfit for the army. Sccil 9
that he would not resign the prcsi-
dent "banished" him to a taraway
post, one that is almost abandoned.
lie (Col. Stewart said in Il letter
to Senator Rayncr that he had no
companionShip except a tcamstcr
and driver. That snow and slcct
came in the roof of the dwelling
where he was quartercd.
The present occupant of the
white house has done many high
handed things but this last is one
which even the Car of Russia
would hesitate beforcdoing. Furth-
CT the president has said in letters
Which he wrote to several senator's
that he was supreme and that Con
grcss had no right to question his
actions in this matter. In other
words he was above Congress.
This is fast getting to be a one
mar government anyhow. Roosc-
