they get nothing unless there is a
great public cutlery and the public
demand becomes so insistent and
determined that the bosses dare not
ignore it. This doesn't often happen,
because it is mighty hard work to get
public sentiment stirred up. And
when it is stirred up it interfeTes
with business - which of course is
very rude of the people. >,
By education, lawyers are best
fitted for citizenship But it seldom
pays a lawyer to be a good citizen.
He can make more money represent
ing clients who need special pTivi-
leges in THEIR business. Besides,
all young lawyrs are ambitious to sit
on the bench some day. They know
the chances are slim if they fight the
party machine. So they nurse their
ambition and play in with the bosses.
There are exceptions, of course, but
the rule goes just the same.

papers seldom ask for their opinions.
Chicago newspapers seldom if ever
interview John Fitzpatrick and Ed
Nockels on public affairs, although
these two represent several hundred
thousand men, women and children
in Chicago. The press prefers the
opinion of George Reynolds, Jim For
gan, julius ROsenwald, Sam insult,
Jim Pattens, Ogden Armor and other
big representatives of money and
business. The public sentiment re-
fiected in the loop press is stewed up
for the public in the banks and de-

comes from the homes. There is a
select list of preachers and reform
ers who are on the eligible list for
newspaper interviews, but they can

COCHRAN'S COMMENT
PoLITIcs A RUsINEss. = some

POLITICS A BUSINESS. - Some
men are bankers, some are brick
layers, some lawyers, some mer-
chants, some mechanics, some labor
ers and others politicians. And pol
itics is as much a trade, profession
or business as any of those men
toned. Party organizations are
made up of the professional pOliti-
clans, whose business is jobholding.
Business and professional men put
up the money to run the machine.
With many if them it is an invest
ment. They expect their moneys
worth in special privilege Of some
kind. And generally get it. AS a
general thing business men are the
most ignorant men in any big city
outside of their own particular bust
ness. They are used to buying and
selling. They expect to pay for what
they get and to get what they pay
for. If they contribute literally to
a party campaign fund they expect
favors in return. It may be help
from tax officials in lodging their
taxes, special police faVOrs, the spe-
ciaI privilege of violating state laws
and city ordinances, or grants of
franchise and privileges that may be
converted into hard cash. And they'd
rather do business with a party ma
chine boss than to deal directly with
the public.
Party machines have to have
money to keep going. That money
doesn't come from the people gener-
ally. It comes from street railway,
gas and electric companies, steam
railroads, big property owners, big
merchants and big manufacturers.
Some of it comes from saIoonkeep-
ers, brewers and liquor dealers. Party
bosses get the money. Part of it is
spent in primary and general cleo
tions-and the men elected to office
and those who get jobs under them

1t was a picnic day Tor the Sumter

IL was y picnic DAY 20r the Sumter
boys in fact. ~
| The Boston Candy Kitchen treat OF
a large box Of fruits and two big boxes
OF candy made the boys feel good, and
they sent their love to Harry" Metro
pole along with lots of love to the
Sumter ladies.
the Sumter boys also appreciated
the courtesy extended by Cush C..
Moore the Jitney bus line owner, who
sent his jitney along at practically cost
OF operation in honor of the Sumter
boys, saying he wanted to make no
pi oft on the trip.
The prettily decorated jitney bus at
tracted much attention in Columbia
and Camden where short stops were
made and along the road to the styx
all the way from Sumter. At Camp
Moore there were hundreds of SOL
diers looking at the Game Cock City"
feed wagon from home as 1t was call
ed.
The officers Of Company l. sent an
oficial message of thanks to the ladies
OF Sumter. Major Bradford and Capt.
Brown said they could not properly
express their gratitude in behalf of
themselves and their brother soldiers.
Capt. Warren of the commissary de-
partment admitted that the home
rations" prepared by Sumter ladies
had regulation rations beat a city
block with several store lengths to
spare, according to the verdict rend-
cred by the Sumter soldiers.
There was not man in the Second
regiment company hospital yesterday.
No Sumter man had reported sick
yesterday anyhow.
The Sumter visitors were shown
through the kitchen. tents, and COM
missary departments and close In
spection was made and a satisfactory
verdict rendered of cleanliness and
healthfulness.
One soldier remarked that there are
no mosquitoes. few flies. none In the
kitchen. and he said: "If we didn't
have to work. we would be happy, IL
We could get Sumter jitney bus full
Of home grub about once week. and
II more Of Sumter's beautiful girls
would just come to Camp Moore often
er and not have anything to say to the
soldiers Of other companies than the
IS. L. l." Of Sumter.
This soldier wants q rule adopted
stopping the Sumter girls and all Sum-
ter ladies from looking at. smiling at,
or talking to any other than Sumter
boys at Camp Moore, because as, he
said these Sumter, girls have very
little time here anyway, and they
should not waste time talking to any
body but Sumter boys anyhow when
they do get here"
So Gamecock City day proved pleas
ant all around without a mishap OF
any kind. The Ladies' Auxiliary to
the Game Cock Boys have every rea-
son TO feel proud and as happy as
they made the Game Cock boys by
their thoughtfulness and remem-
brances In such a substantial manner.
