ALUMNI ADDRESS. n
Hon. Arthur Kiblcr Makes a Timely n
Talk?Officers of the Association I
Elected. t,
1 uesday jiI II o'clock (he annual v
meeting of I Ik* Alumni Association c
of (In- college was held and tho ad- c
dross was delivered by I lie lion. Ar- c
lltur Kiblcr. of (ho class of 1884. I
Mr. Kiblcr is a nalivc of Newberry
county and is now engaged in (lie s
brokerage business, lie has at var a
ions times taken an active part in s
public a It airs, having been supcriu- It
(cudent ol education and member of |i
Hie Icgislat lire for several terms, lie l
was also at one lime member of' the *
board of trustees of Ihc Slate color- f
ed college nl Orangclnirg, and has e
always taken an active interest in n
cducat ional matters. o
IIis address I uesday morning was
well prepared and forcibly delivered w
and very miieli appreciated by the ei
large amlienee as well as bv the '
members ol the Alumni Association l<
"< said thai lie felt in speaking h
I o those who had finished I he course ''
in a lies I class literary college thai "
lie was addressing- m-n and women ol s'
intelligence and who are or should
lie leaders in I heir conuiiiinit v. Cer- vi
tainly the State and church have a ii
'1 ?'i' I" <'\pect much of those who w
had I lie beuelil of a cidlege b
training, lie traced the history of w
Ihe causes leading to the grea! u
French devolution of I7S!(. and bv o
i ompai ison with our own country !"
pointed out three dangers which w
threaten our republic. At the la-gin- ;i'
"I revolution Ihe l-'ri-ncli "
"' re not a nalioii of savages, run j
were lar advanced in tin- scale ofjv,
civ i!i/a I ion. Il i> true ih.it the grea' -,t
n,i,"s "ie p|e, fhe peasants in ii
Ii'1 country districts, were ignorant. m
hut sonic brilliant men lived in the ||
nation, wiiose writings had mucii to e>
do with arousing ihe masses against
unju>l oppression they had
borne mi long.
Altei 11a\ ?ng noted Ihe causes i|
which led to I hi I'Yeiich rcvolul ion. a
Mr. Kibh-r pointed out the danger* |,
wliieb threaten our own republic.
''ie first place we are a lawless |.people,
he said. The great men who , j,
framed the federal const it ut ion were jj,
actuated by the principle thai the '
best governed are Ihe least governed.
I liouias .It'llcrson h"iicvcd that
the people should have all of the | ^
liberty possible and that !he\ should '
be li<-ld together by th" weakest
bonds. He knew the historv of Ku-I t
lopean goveriliueuts and their op- I V
prcssion and he was anxious to set 1 ..
up a government where the pi"!-"
might have the opportunity to gov- ''
( I'll ; hem.-elv es.
lu speaking' ol lawlessness Mr. j t.,i
Kibier said he did not refer to the!.,.,
iiwliv i d 11 a I who would rob or tuur- i
der liis I'cllowinen, but Ihe hr less- ,,,,
aess ol whole comnumit ies. The u :
crouds of men who gather by the
hundreds lor the purpose of commit- i41.
ling an unlawful act. lie referred to pij
specilic cases ol mob law in our own
and other Stales where the people
umlertake to lake the law into their
awn bauds, lie said that our courts
are responsible for this slate of af- . .,
fairs. The frequent delay in the trial 0|.
of a criminal, the continuance by ,|,
the courts Irom time to time on
some technicality was so tVeipient
thai confidence was lost and a step
was made in the direction of an- n.
archy. If our people could feel that (|,
swi11 justice could be secured bv
process ol law a great many lawless
outbreaks could be avoided.
I be reason that the Kiiglish gov- ]jf
eminent nils so easily millions of ,i:1
scattered people is thai the citizen th
knows that the laws will be executed S|
and the criminal brought to justice. Tl
l'\\e may build our churches." so
said the speaker, "our universities :U1
ami our colleges; we may establish pr
asylums for the poor lint unfortun- a
atelv unless we obey the law of th" Su
land, let that law lu- right or wrong, tr
the other foundations of our re- at
public will tremble."
Another great danger which p?
threatens our government is that an in
enormous amount of wealth is accu- j 1>
nulla ting in the hands of a few men. J hi
Tt is not a crime to he rich but il is ol
n fact that the wealthiest men in i l<
our country are not the best eiti- vv
zens. At ibis time less than a dozen ! t<
men control the most vital legisla-1 w
fion by our tin I ional congress. Dur- a<
ing Ihe past two years a strong of-J c?
fort h as been made *>v the presi- j ii
dent to bring to justice some of the h
rich corporations of the country and
if remains to be seen whether these h
im-Ii law-breakers shall be made to v,
suffer for bribery lor fhelr lawless Ii
practices in which thev have been v
engaged. :i
Today this country is filled with s
abundance of everything necessary
for us as ti nation and yet in the i
face of all this abundance hundred.* 1
and thousands are out of employ
lout and they and tfieir families arc
11 want. This causes the working
Jen to he uneasy and revengeful,
ie is no longer kept in ignorance as
') the true state of affairs and the
ewspapers and magazines find their
-ay into almost every home in our
ountry. 1 hey are enlightening our
iti/.ens and while they do not (each
iti/.ens resistance to authority, vet
hey are emphasizing the fact that
lie rich man is getting more than his
Imre. J here is favoritism somewhere
nil the people know it. Every man
hould have his home and enough foi
is daily wants and when he is derived
of the opportunity to have
hese and sees one man in posses '?"
"f millions, gotten largely bv
[ivorilism on t ho part of the govrnmenl
he is ready lo join with the!
narchis! and hring about j, differon;:
rder of things.
Another very serious danger
hi?-h confronts us -o?7av is | in> for.
igM immigration into our countrv. I
ulius ( nesar was slain by a patriot,

in our own State and a State de- j

xs. We had belter be satisfied j
th the conditions i,ty wiiiidi wo are
w surrounded than to attempt toM
ing about a slate or all'airs which
i"hi bring trouble to living generi"u<
and generations to come.
I lie speaker said he did not wish
take a gloomy view of the future
l lie thought that unless we re-j
i'-e our steps and go back lo flu
iginal idea ot the governmeul
a I there must be some gieat change
'he not distant future.
If the rich man is suffered to in- '
''use his riches bv unjust, disputable
and oppressive means, and i*
e mob is permitted to rob, murder i
d destroy without fear of punisbMit
then there must be a stronger i
nt nil government Tor without Ibis *
e and property would be in more <
nger Iron year lo year. ITe
ought there was a tendency to a <
ronger governinent at Washington, j
ie lower houso of congress is ablulel\
controlled by one stuiiborn
id wicked man and his will is sit- 1
cine. If we submit unresistingly to
mild torin of dictatorship we will
ller when times , of unrest and
""hie are upon us and these times
e sure to come.
I resident I Irani, one of the most
>|?ulir men that ever lived, could
>1 gel ;ne republican convention in
>S0 to induce his party to nominate
in for a third term. The patriotism
this country was then loo strong
risk anything like that. The fear
Jis thai it might lead to a life
''ii. If President Koo-nvell toda\
ere to express his willingness to
cept a third term, the republican
invention which meets in Chicago
i a lew days would easi'v nominate
im.
Speaking lo the Alumni Mr. Kib r
said that tin* communities in
Inch ihe\ live expect them to be
?aders and they should denounce
t'ealfii gotten by dishonest means as
crime against the State and they
hould teach that mob law is a relic
>t bai iiarisin am! that the American
