THE PEOPLE CONSTITUTE
THE GOVERNMENT WITH Us

Charleston American.
1t was rather presumptious
meeting held in Columbia Tuesday by
the so-called Stae Council of Defense.
1t undertook to lecture those who
dare to differ with the policies of the
administration, and to denounce them
as disloyal to the government of the
United States. These enlightened
statesmen, consisting of such hig2-
brows as Mannings, seem to confuse
the administration" of government
with the government itself. No doubt
Governor Manning believes that he IS
the government, and not merely the
governor of South Carolina. Fortu-
nately he will become an ex-governor
next year, but the government Will
go on forever.
AS to Mr.. Coker and the other IN
dignant patriots who are about 10
start a campaign of education for war.
they too. while all estimable and
honorable men, are identified with the
national administration, but are not,
after all, the government OF the
United States.
Perhaps it might be we'll to give
these learned propagandists a few
primary lessons in what is govern
ment, to which citizens owe loyalty in
this land of blessed liberty. we owe
allegiance to our Institutions. not to
mere transient, accidental and easi-
" dispensable persons who run" the
government. Back of these lnstltu-
tions are the sovereign people, whose
power founded and whose right in
he language of the Declaration OF
independence it is to "alter or baol-
ish" them whenever in their srover-
eign judgment they deem it wise.

that we will have more matter than

of Greenville and IS home raised
and we hope that it will not be nee
essary to make any changes for some
time to come.

We sa wa near accident at one OF
tbe street crossings in Newbery the
other day. and it was where one OF

cars were attempting to cross street
before stopping. Fortunately neither
one was going at full speed, because
If either had been there would nave
been a crash. No use to stop after

We guess Mr.. Wallace is right
about calling on the poor people to
look after that road because If it
we're not for the poor people the
rich folk would soon starve to death
The poor after all are the backbone
of the country when it comes to
making a living for the country and
also when it comes to making ROADS
The rich people have neither the time
nor the money to fool with such
things as the roads and making a
living.

Tuesday, August Z, 1917.

We had been a little curious to
know just what the State Council OF
Defense proposed to do, or what was
the work before it, but We were just
little afraid to ask because perchance
our motive may have been misunder.
stood, but now comes the Columbia Re.
cord and admits that here are others
who do not exactly konw what the
duties and purposes of this organi
zation are, and that "the objects ant
purposes have not been clearly de-
sned, yet they will be in good tome.
The Record says that the meeting
called in Columbia the other day was
for "the purpose or having some kind
of formal understanding of the gen
eral plan Of work to be undertaken
by the State council through the coun-
ty organizations, for the purpose OF
arousing the people to a sense of their
responsibility on account Of the war. "
"It was quite incidental" says the
Record, that the meeting got off into
politics and did not have time to out
line the work to be done. Even Gov.
Manning who went to the meeting t.
outline a program of work" did not
do so 'for the lack of time and on &C
count of the unexpected turn that the
discussion took
Now that is too bad. We are surpri-
sed that the Record woul dadmit such
a state of facts. 1t seems to us that
we read in one or the other of the
accounts published of the meeting
that one of the purposes as stated by
Chairman Coker is to have meetings
over the State to arouse a war SEN
timent amoug our people. If that IS
found necessary there must have been
some mistake about "my people clam
oring for war" as We heard some
months ago.
1t is unfortunate that the discussions
took the turn they did, as the Record
says, but who made them take that
turn but the members of the council
VINO were present. And we would
like very much to know just what the
work of the council is to be. Ger
tainlv this is a time for all our people
to cooperate, and as we said before this
is no time to be abusing one another
or for factional politics, but if Mr..
Manning has not ou Heroded Blease IN
that line then we do not know what we
read, and he has gone so far as to take
it into the war appointments.
