"Said a Plenty"

The correspondence between theof-
f1cers Of the Columbia Chamber Of
Commerce and Senator Tillman, with
regard to the Taft luncheon, has be-
come a subject Of considerable COM
ment throughout the State, and al
though the matter is not Of very con-
siderable importance probably, we
have no hesitation in saying that in
our opinion Senator Tillman has de-
cidedly the best Of it. If the Column
bia Chamber Of Commerce wants to
give a banquet and asks the guests II
sees proper to invite to pay the ex-
penses that Is the business of the Co.
iumbia Chamber of Commerce. The
principle involved is not a new one.
1t is common thing for young men
to get up dances or suppers and stipu-
late that each Of the participants pay
their pro rata share; but we have
never understood that there was any
thing binding on the man who did
not care to chip in. Senator Tillman
was treated just as the other guests
were treated. He was told IL he was
gong to accept, he must do so by Oct.
22nd. and send his $40. There was
nothing wrong about that. If he saw
proper not to accept, that was clear
ly his privilege. That privilege was
exercised. by quite a number of 9TH
ers no doubt, and it is hardly probable
that many of them considered it nee
essary to reply to the invitation un-
der the circumstances. The condi-
tions of the invitation seemed to
make reply unnecessary unless the
reply was accompanied with a check
for $40. We doubt very much if the
secretary of the Chamber Of Conn
merce communicated a second time
with many Of the other invited guests.
who failed to specify by October 22.
Had he let Senator Tillman alone. as
we think he should have done. the
mess would not have been raised. IT
was proper for the senator to ignore
the first communication if that was
his inclination; but he could not ie-
more the second for It clearly called
for reply, and what he said in replv
was plenty. 1t was not only a plen
ty; but it was right and proper. II is
argued by those who would condemn
senator Tillman that Governor Ansel.
Senator Smith and Chief Justice
Jones, all accepted and sent their
checks. We do not see that this has
any bearing on the situation what
ever. These had exactly the Same
right to accept and pay if they saw
proper that Senator Tillman had TO
ignore the invitation if he saw prop
er. If Senator Tillman had written
his letter Immediately on recent of
the original invitation, it would have
been in bad taste, in our Judgment.
out III response to the second commu-
nlcation his letter was in the best of
taste, and the Columbia Chamber Of
commerce got only what was prop
erly coming to it. We have seen the
intimation that the senator was only
invited out of respect to his official
position, and we have no doubt that
is true; but it seems to us that the
people who want to show respect to
an official position might very we'll
pay the expenses in connection with
the respect themselves, rather than
ask the fficial who holds the position
10 be respected, to pay-Yorkvine
