the city building organization on

Think of the audacity, the pre-

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

The most remarkable conven-
ton in the history of the demo-
cratic party has passed into his
tory. It was a struggle among
the giants and the best man won
Next to William Jennings Bry.
a, Woodrow Wilson is the clean
est man in American politics
We can ask no greater privilege
while we live than to continue as
we began sixteen years ago to
vote for a clean man for the
highest gift the people can be
stow
When Woodrow Wilson turned
dow Tom Ryan's offer to finance
his preconvention campaign and
thereby aIienated Col. George
Harvey of Harper's Weekly and
set Col Watterson as crazy as a
March hare, his stock went be-
low par on Wall Street but 1t
reached 200 percent with the peo-
pie. Then it veg that we be-
came an a".ive partizan of Wood
row Wilson.
There has been a great deal of
abuse heaped on Bryan. This
has served a useful purpose. 1t
has acted as vent for perennial
crouch and it has done Bryan no
harm.
Bryan is so immeasurably Dig
ger than his enemies that they
cannot comprehend him. They
cannot understand why he is
clean. They cannot comprehend
his honesty. They cannot con-
ceive of such integrity. They
marvel at his righteousness.
They are lost in contemplation OF
the marvellous power:of the man.
There is nothing strange about
Bryan's power. 1t is the result
Of using properly the powers that
God gave him. 1t is easy to stand
off and see that Bryan blundered
here and went wrong there, but
it is another thing to prove it.
Bryan makes no mistakes. he
may err but no man makes &
mistake when he follows the
course of his conscience. Bryan
has said more than any man II
American politics and ne has
made fewer blunders.
No man is prepared or compe

course of action until he knows

say that there are few such men.
We are not one of them AMI we
don't believe you are.
We have watched the demo-
cratic party like a hawk for six
teen years. We nave sometimes
doubted if it was going to land
on the right side. We have
sometimes questioned whether it
deserved TO survive. In 1896 it
got right because the people took
it in hand. 1t stayed right until
1904 and the people got careless
and while they were not looking
the party machinery was stolen
by set of constituencies schem-
ers who nominated Parker and
took backward step.
They found out their mistake
and got right again. They were
wobbly in the legs at the conven-
ton just closed and it was a seri-
GUS question where they were
going to land, and they would
have landed wrong had it not
been for Bryan. He saved the
day.
A lot of maudlin sympathy is
wasted on New York by men
who know nothing whatever
about it. What has New York
done to the democracy except to
slaughter it? Name one thing
it has done to justify it in its de-
termination to dictate nomina-
tions and manipulate party ma
chinery? Every four years it's
delegates go to the national con-
vention with Charles F. Murphy
at their head to vote them like
puppets for the wrong thing
every tine. When the nominal
ton is made, whether they win
or lose, they go back home and
slaughter the ticket as remorse-
lessly as a bloody pirate scuttles
a ship or a sioux indian lifts a
scalp. There are no exceptions.
Charles F. Murphy is the head
of Tammany. the hell-hole Of
American politics. No decent
man ought to think of it without
shame. AS Bryan said, Tamma-
ny is not democratic asset, it is
g democratic liability, For three
national conventions Murphy has

After the republican party had
gone reactionary at Chicago and
the interests had nominated Taft
and kicked Teddy out of the back
door, big business hiked down to
Baltimore to spike all progressive
guns and get an eminently safe
and sane nomination. Murphy
was on hand to whisper into ev-

promised all the Kingdoms of the
earth to those who would fall
down and worship him. Tom

Well, they had their way.
They elected Parker over Brya 4

wei, liCy Ildu IIlCiT way.
They elected Parker over Bryal
and Parker sounded the keynote
but the note was discord. Read
it if you can and compare it with
the speech of Ollie James when
selected as permanent chairman
and you will see the difference
between typical argument by
a lawyer Tor criminal client and
a real democratic eXnortation.
Then Bryan had his inning.
He got buster than he ever got
before. With the fear of God in
his heart he defied the Ievil. He
did what was right whenever he
felt it was necessary and he did
it with more courage than ever
a martyr met death. He smote
the enemy hip and thigh and
the Lord was on his side, while
the American people looked on
and the railroads extended the
return limit of the delegate S
ticket.
Bryan knows the New York
democracy as few know it. 1t
has only one desire and that is
to cut the political pie. 1t has
only one motive in attending a
convention, and that is to get It's
hands on the throat of a candi
date. 1t is treacherous and I'M
worthy and wholly mercenary.
Some good men get on the dele
cation, but they are hog-tied. II
the New York delegation had
had its way the trail of the SER
pent would have been over the
Baltimore convention the same
as at Chicago. The American
people thank God for Bryan.
Those who curse him now, II
they have the love of God in
their hearts, will remain to
praise. He fought a good fight
and he kept his faith and that is
more than any of his enemies
have ever done.
Bryan has spent sixteen years
in building up the democratic
party after it had been wrecked
/ by the republican administration
of Grover Cleveland. He has
spent sixteen years trying to
make it different from the re-
publican party. He has spent
sixteen years in trying to max Z

aunt Vinie" has lived the life of
noble widow-hood since her gallant
husband fell in battle, the battle of
the Crater, at Petersburg, Va. She
was left with several children, and
had to struggle to keep the wolf from
the door; but she succeeded. She
never got rich, but brought up her
children, and lived a beautiful Chris
tian life.
Her children's names are as fol-
lows: Lille, Willie, John and Fannie.
Lille was Adam Aull'S first wife.
John, after growing up and marrying,
was accidentally killed by log cart
Her house is about a hundred years
old. and was built by Frederick Kin
ard, who sold it to Geo. Hipp, father
of Ed. Hipp, deceased. Mr.. Hipp sold
it to aunt Vinie," together with a
good deal of land, just after the Civil
war, for so or 70 dollars in gold. 1t is
adjoining her fathers old place, where
she was raised, and where the late
Jas. A. Riser was born, brought up,
and after spending his life there, bu-
ried near.
In addition to neighbors, the follow
ing guests were on hand to bring con-
gratulations: Mrs. Martha Buckley and
son of Hilton; Mrs. Jane Hill, Of Hill
ton. who was once Mrs. John Kibler;
DR.. Cal Kibler was there from Allan
IA. Several others could not get
there because the Southern railway
was disabled because of high water.
"Aunt Vinie" remembers some in
teresting things about the old times.
She says she was little girl at the
time of, and attended, the sale OF ola
Rev. Wallern. At that sale her sister
Betsy had a beau who took Betsy and
herself to a table and set them up to
persimmon beer and cake. The old
negro that served was "Old Aunt Mil
lie," free negro. That sale must
have been after Mrs. Wallern died, !
and not just after Rev, Wallern's
death. as he died before 1920. The
writer wanted to know who bought
the books, so that he could find Valu-
able history, and other information
he would like so we'll to have, in Or
der to preach a historic sermon at
st. Pauls; but she does not know
anything about MT. Wallern's books.
Let it be said here, if any reader
can put the writer on the track OF
historic information about st. Pauls,
which he does not have, he would be
glad to receive a card or letter on the
subject. He wants to know how the
church came by the land it owns,
when the congregation was organized,
where did Wallern come from, when
did he begin his work as pastor here,
what other churches did he serve, did
he serve as pastor till death, did he
leave any children or other relatives,
who followed him as pastor, and who
next, and next?

Of this criticism came before there was
any information as to what the pay
ments had been made for. 1t is fact
that Mr.. Green used in his report
quite a lot of matter that had been
prepared by Mr. Watson, and to this
extent Mr.. Green was being paid for
work that had already been done. AS
to what original initiatory work Mr..
Green may have done we do not
know: but somehow we have never
been very much impressed with ali
this talk that has been going on about
Green. He used to be regarded as a
bright, able, high-principled young
man and we are not inclined to think
that he has undergone any change of
character. AS to what the nature of
Mr.. Creighton's work might be we
have no definite information. If there
was no way to find out anything on
the subject, we might feel like quar-
reling a few; but since the governor
announces that anybody can see the
reports On file in his Office, it occurs
to us that we might withhold criticism
until somebody has taken look. we
are not unmindful of the fact that
other governors have found it desir-
able to have recourse to confidential
agents, and whether we like MI.
Blease or not we can not see why he
is not entitled to the same rights as
other governors-Yorkville Enquirer
The above from the Yorkville En-
ouirer is a very sensible and a con-
servative view to take. So far as our
information goes, Mr.. Green was look
ed upon as a very capable newspaper
man until he was appointed a colonel
on Governor Bleases staff. In fact,
we think the Columbia State and the
News and Courier both considered him
in all respects a frst-class newspaper
man. 1t is unfortunate that partisan
politics would lead metropolitan daily
nowspapers to such extremes as they
have gone in this matter.
We do not know Of the work which
has been and is being done by Mr..
Green and Mr.. Creighton, but as Gov
ernor Blease states, the reports are
on file in his Office and are open for
inspection to any citizen of the State.
And the legislature for a number OF
years has placed at the disposal of
the governor $4,000, to be used in his
discretion, in the enforcement Of the
law. This same sum has been used
for the same purpose and by other
governors, and frequently to accom-
plish results the names of those who
are employed are withheld from the
public. In other words, the fund has
been used in many cases in the me-
ployment of private detectives. We
do not recall any question being rails
ed before as to the expenditure of this
fund by other governors, and it is
raised now for partisan political pur-
poses. We do not know who were ap-
pointed to do this work for other gov
ernors, but it is pretty certain that
they employed their own friends, at
least, friends to their administration,
to do the work.
