Prof. Schmidt urged the men ia

The Bulletin has followed the
trail Of Supervisor Aylett for some
weeks and found that he has been
going the rounds of the largest tax
payers OF that petition and excusing
himself for not voting for the con,
tract because "he had been offered a
bride of $1,000" So far as known,
he has not hurried to first present
the facts of this alleged offer to
the prosecuting officers of the city
or Territory. Judging from the con
versations reported he merely con-
sidered the "offer" ain item of his ex-
cuse, and possibly a factor in the
game of factional politics that is be-
ing played day after day in the Re
publican party.
Aylett for some reason or other
has paid more attention to the al.
legged offer OF the bride than to the
merits Of the bitulithic question. And

CONSTITUTION

Editor Evening Bulletin
In connection with the appointment
OF the Public Land Board by the Gov
ernor, II may be interesting to note
that the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has very recently decided
that rules a regulations promul-
gated by an executive officer, even
though authorized by act Of Con-
gross are laws resulting from an i'm
proper delegation by Congress of its
proper Legislative power, and hence
are unconstitutional"
There is provision in the bill
lately ' Congress TO amend
the Oiga L. reading as follows:
The Co aissioner is hereby au-
tho''-ol TO arform any and all acts,
pre- aIi' = forms of oaths, and, with
the approval Of the Governor and
said Board. make such rules and reg
ulations rs may be necessary and

the provisions of this section and the
land laws of Hawaii into full force
and effect"
or course, the Commissioner, Gov
ernor, and Board, Jointly or sever
ally can not legally and constitu-
tionally do any such thing and will
be held up in court as soon as they
attempt IT.
1t would take but little more to
obliterate all the recommendation
of the special session of the Legis-
lature so far as they relate to sec
ton 70 of the Organic Act Uand

made sorry job on the land law

DOES College EDUCATION PAY?

Speaker Cannon recently told a
young college man that he ought to
cheer up; he might live down his
college education. Speaker Cannon
Is no longer authority.
This is the time of year that the
young graduates are declaiming on
how the world should be run, and
the old folks are discussing whether
an advanced education is worth
while. And IL Is a very important
period in the life OF the young peo-
pie OF the land.
In the estimation OF this paper the
college education always pays,
Should the youth prove slow in his
studies and come through the course
mapped out with Indifferent aca-
demic honors, he would even then
have gained great deal In the per.
sonal college associations and eXpe-
rience In dealing with his fellows in
honorable sportsmanlike spirit, that
should be of lasting benefit to him in
Injecting the serious problems and
the daily struggles of life.
President Brown of the New York
Central Railroad Company not long
ago made the statement that the
young man just out Of college starts
with handicap as against the boy
who startled on his life career from

Advertiser
From just what experience Thurs
toms Advertiser speaks we are not
informed, but we hardly believe that
Thurston learned to quaff cocktails
ut a, banquet or drink beer when
on an outing, as a result of the edu-
eating influence of the saloon.
1t is hardly probable also that the
people of Hawaii will take this bald
declaration against the high license
saloon as anything more than the
wild claim of fanatic with a pollt-
ical axe to grind
The late Episcopal Bishop Henry
c. Potter, whose moral stamina is
seldom impeached, does not agree
with this local Prohibition view. He
has said:
1.-THE usual good sense of our peo-
pie will he forced into n state OF
bewilderment by the ceaseless agita-
lions of, the Prohibitionist party. II
the latter imagines that an entire
nation can be turned upside down

said: "While will not say that

Wheat is a heavy feeder on phos-

should be literally fertlized with
phosphoric acid and ammonia. At
least 800 or 400 pounds Of acid phos-
phate and 100 pounds of cotton seed
meal. or it's equivalent, should be
applied at the time of sowing; and
another application should be made
the first of March, a similar amount
being used. AT the time the latter
application is made, nitrate Of soda
at the rate Of 100 pounds per acre
should be applied. Most of the clay
lands of the Piedmont SETON of this
State contain a sufficient amount of
potash for wheat. When when plant

Manning, 5. c., entered Sumter
loads of pianos and sold them in
very short time to some of the most
prominent people in town. Mr.. Till
is the factory distributor for the we'll
known Hallet q Davis piano, of Bos-

wide fame. The steady demand for
these instruments has induced Mr..
Till to open permanent branch

to the public he says: I'm this age

can you afford to be without n

piano? Is there any reason why
you should not have one, why your

1t is a fact that the American
home is the criterion by which for
eign nations endeavor to set their
ideals, and the greatest factor in de-
veloping the home life of America
is music. and the most adaptable in
strument for that purpose has been

'The discussion going the round

almost unlimited amount Of money
that he had been spending, he would
be compelled to cancel the contract
