and you became my dol. Too young
to appreciate the principles you stood
for, turned to the personality be-
hind them, making you the hero to
whom all my boyish worship was ac-
corded My dirty little fists were al
ways ut your service, and woe to the
playmates who dared to question your
honesty or to doubt your ability. When
became old enough to take an in
terest in, without being able to un-
derstand, public questions, confident
ly turned to you for information.
In ceasing to be my idol, you became
my authority. At last, 1. too, became
a man, and began to work out my own
solutions Of public problems. With
the light of reason to guide me, ex-
amined anew your doctrines, and
rejoiced to find that my mans un-
derstanding approved my boyhood's
idol and pronounced it good.
Then came Bleaseism-that other
name for graft, greed, selfishness,
sordidness, and hatred. With q feel
ing akin to dismay, 1 saw that, be-
cause they did not know what it i'm
piled, the term had no terrors for
great masses Of honest people. They
failed with binding full OF pathos
to differentiate democracy from mob
ocracy. To them Bleaseism was
Tfllmanism, and, with a loyalty as
splendid as 1t was pathetic, they hailed
what they thought was a new chief
of old principles. With more courage,
perhaps, than wisdom, tried to show
them the difference between you and
your principles and Blease and his
ideas. They answered me with sneers
and scofiing. They proclaimed that
bold, bad man, as another Tillman,
and declared that you yourself, stood

say you did not err; for, under
heavens favor, your work means the
betterment OF all the people, indus
trially, socially, educationally morally
and spiritually. The power of the
masses has shown the classes by the
strongest of all methods, demonstra-
ton, that longer neglect of the great
body of the people means destruction.
We who claim to want better things
insult do. our duty in self-defense.
Sir, a brighter day is coming.
Schools will become the centre of
community life; the church will cease
to be thing apart, and become a
living force in the lives OF her mem
bers; correct sanitary methods will
substitute health for disease, and in
preserving the body will improve the
mind; and in all things reason shall
rule. and passion and prejudice shall
be banished from the realm.
Then "in a nobler, sweeter song''
we'll sing the glories Of a South Caro-
lima as fair and good and pure as
poetry has ever dreamed or philosophy
hoped for. Sir, there are thousands of
young Carolinians enlisted for the war
and we, the recruits, salute you, the
veteran. Your scars, now in the hour
of conflict, inspire us to renewed eff
forts in the fight for righteousness,
and in the afte. time, when victory

Twas then, senator, that doubts of
you came to me. Why does he not
speak? 1 thought, surely that master
mind sees whittier we are drifting
nay, not drifting, but rushing head
long; South Carolina has honored him
with all her richest gifts. Does he
not owe 1t to her to repay? 1 listened
longingly for your voice, but the days
passed and 1t came not. My doubts
grew stronger and 1 thought bitterly
"Just for handful of silver he left
us,
Just for ribbon to stick in his coat"
For all those doubts and question
ings, sir, l humbly ask your pardon.
You were wiser than 1. AS the right
time, and under the right circum-
stances you raised your powerful voice
In warning to your honest, well-mean-
ing, but wholly misguided fellow citi-
zens. AT the risk of defeat you spoke! {!
Twas splendid thing to do, and 1
congratulate you again most heartily.
notlce In your recent open letter
to Gov. Blease, that you doubt the
wisdom of having given self-govern-
ment to the masses. Under present
conditions your fear Is natural, but
In the larger view 1t Is unfounded. The
last campaign has demonstrated one
thing to every reasonable mans salts
faction: we who claim to be intelli-
gent must educate the hitherto neg
lected masses, or take the direful con-
sequences. The socalled better classes
are reaping what they sowed Hence,
In enfranchizing the masses, in show
ing them their power, you have at the
