GUILTY OF BAD JUDGMENT
WHY CAPT. WELBORN WAS
TRANSFERRED.
Friction With Authorities of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Me-
chanical College.

IN explanation of its action in relieving
Capt Ira c. Welborn 9th Infantry. from
duty at the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College the War Department
has published the following extracts from
the report of an investigation made by
Inspector General Darlington:
Capt. Welborn occupied two relations
with respect to the Mississippi Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College-tirst, profess
cor of military art and science; second,
commandant. In the first relation. prior
to the action of the board of trustees
January H. 1908. no complaint had been
urged against Capt. Welborn. In the sec
ond relation Capt. Welborn stood a
paid employee of the institution. the pay
being 500 per annum and a house on
the campus free of cost AS an enplOye
he was commandant and. under the direc
ton of the president of the institution,

dent body. In the performance of his

Broward's Popularity
Is Deserved.

The Miami Metropolis pays the fol-
lowing high compliment to Governor
Broward:
Zone of the few things good that
have been said of Governor Broward,
high man in the United States senate
rial contest in. the first primary, IS
that he is popular with the cracker
or country man. And this is true.
The cracker usually votes as his mind
dictates and he seldom makes a mis-
take. He is not a part or parcel OF
the political rogTery, rascality, fraud,
deception, etc, originating in and
praeticed in the cities where men
vote not as they want TO, but as
bosses and political ringsters and
grafters want them to do.
But is the esteem bestowed upon
Broward undeserved? Is the calibre
of the man, his character and his abil-
ity underestimate by them? Press
dispatches the past three years have
told us of visits made by the COVER
nor to other parts of the country and
of the public recognition given him
10y people equally as capable of iudg-
ing a man as any there are In Flor
ida.
IN the far west he was heralded
as one of the great men of the coun-
try. He was recognized as one or the
greatest among twenty-five governors
who made the memorable trip down
the Mississippi river with President
Roosevelt. He was invited by the
business men OF st. Louis and other
places TO deliver addresses before
their commercial clubs. He has been
snads prominent and conspicuous,
each and every time winning the high
est praise and commentator as one
of the leading men OF our nation.
'1n his office of governor he's made
good. He has lived up TO and com
