cialists are organizing successive dem
onstrations in order to bring about a
change in the government, according
to dispatches.
CHANGES SUGGEST
ED IN GOVERNMENT
Secretary of War Believes Time
Has Come For Amendments
to Fundamental Law
-
j New York, Jan. 10.?Secretary of
War Baker today declared himself for
"some radical changes' in the admin
istration of the government, including
the seating of cabinet members either
in the senate or the house. He was
addressing a meeting of '?mothers,
wives and sisters" called by the New
York League for Political Education.
"I believe there should be some real
changes in the relations between the
executive and the legislative branches
of our government," Mr. Baker said.
*T believe members of the cabinet
should have seats in one or the other
house and should be present to defend
the policies of their departments. '
"They should have the right to an
swer questions asked of them. No
head of a department should have!
questions fired at him and then have
his department sacrificed on the floor J
of either house without the head of]
that department being present to put'!
in his defense.
"The writers of the constitution
tried to aim between the king of the!
olden, days and the mob. They pro-j
Tided for both. They made the pres- |
ident responsible for the government I
of the nation, but gave him little pow-|
cr. They conferred on congress great
powers, but no responsibiilty.
"T am not speaking now of Presi
dent Wilson's administration. The
same thinfr has happened in every i
administration, even in that of Presi
dent McKinley when the strong per
sonal friendship between the presi
dent and Senator Hanna, leader of the j
senate, made harmony as nearly pos- i
sible as it ever has been in our gov- j
ornment. In every administration.;
notably in that cf Mr. Roosevelt, there!
has been a clash between executive j
and legislative branches."
DEATHS.
Marion, Jan. 10.^?Marion was;
shocked on Wednesday morning when !
it was learned that Mrs. Wiliam C. j
Power had passed away at an early.
hour. Friends knew that she had been j
in her room at her boarding house
with a bad cold and asthma but little!
did they dream that the end was so j
near." The dectea&ed was in her Sothj
year and had been quite active up to
the present time. She was twice mar- j
ried, first to a Mr. McEachern and j
rhen to the late Rev. William C.'I
Power, who was a Methodist minister'
md had charges all over the State.
She was Miss Lou Evans and was born j
md reared in Marion. Besides nu- ?
nerous nieces and nephews the fol-1
lowing children survive: William C.
Power, John Montague Power, Walter i
Power and Mesdames Robert Teskeyl

Florence. Jan. 10.?Isaac Sulzbach- j
jr, one of the oldest and most promi-j
lent citizens of Florence, died in Phil

Drought to Florence Sunday morning.!
irriving on Atlantic Coast Line train I
!Co. 82, which is due here at 9.10 and
?rill be met at the station by a num-j
?er of the friends of the family, in- j
:luding the pallbearers. The funeral J
procession will proceed at once to the
Jewish cemetery, where the funeral
services will be held. Rabbi Hirsch of,
Sumter will conduct the services.
Mr. Sulzacher had been in falling j
health for some time. He had never;
fully recovered from the shock oc
casioned by the death of his wife, and!
since that time had been living most J
of the time in Philadelphia, where he;
had been under the constant watch!
find care of a celebrated physician. ;
His friends did not know of the se- j
riousness of his condition until yes-1
terday. when advices were received i
from Philadelphia that his recovery!
was improbable.
Mr. Sulzbacher came to Florence
over 36 years ago and entered the
jewelry business which has borne hisj
name continuously since 1884. Tie was
successful in establishing a business
that has become known throughout
the State for its solidarity ar*d in
tegrity. Several years ago he gave up
the active direction of the business, j
relinquishing it to his son, Isadorei
Sulzbacher, who had; always been as- ;
sociated with his father in business. ?
Mr.'Sulzbacher was about 76 years j
old. Tie married Miss Schwerin of!
Sumter. The family has occupied aj
high position in this community for
years. Mr. Sulzbacher was at all
times industrious in his business, but
no also took a most active and heart- 1
felt interest, in the affairs of his homo!
city and his counsel was frequently;
sought in matters of public moment.
TTo was always ready to do his part in j
any movement for the upbuilding of j
Florence commercially, educationally \
and morally. Mr. Sulzbacher had a]
great many warm friends in Florence.!
all of whom will liear of his death with I
the deepest regret. He leaves one son.

Philadelphia, having been called there!

his father's illness. i

jW. J. BRYAN AT
HIS OLD JOB
'Issues Explanation of His Ad
vocacy of Compromise
On Treaty
-
I Chicago. Jan. 10.?William Jen
nings Bryan told reporters today that
he and President Wilson '"agree in
purpose."
"We both want immediate ratifica
tion of the peace treaty and a speedy
establishment of the league of na
tions," he said. "It is simply a differ
ence of opinion over a method and
not a purpose.
"There is no reason why advocacy j
of a compromise should be interpret- >
ed as opposition to . the . president.
Mr. Wilson is an official and his rec
ommendations travel by their, own
weight.
"The constitution gives the presi
dent the right to make recommenda
tions to congress. It gives congress j
the right to disregard the recommen-'
dations just as it empowers congress j
to pass laws and the president, to ve- I
to them."
Mr. Bryan said , S6 senators favor '
ratification of the treaty hut differ
as to reservations. He auovcated a |
compromise so as to keep the treaty j
from becoming a campaign issue, ad- j
ding: j
'"If the Republicans insistj upon res- |
., ? . K-'
ervations that the Democrats can not
accept then the Democrats will be in
a.good position to,take it as an issue
before the people."
Chicago, Jan. 10.?Open discussion
in the United States senate? "where
concessions may be asked and given"
was advocated by W.'J. Bryan today
as a means of making a compromise
on the peace treaty. Mr. Bryan was
addressing the Iroquois club.
"If no compromise can be reached."
he said, "we must acquiesce for the
present with the Republican major
ity.' He proposed that in that case
enough Democratic votes bo with
drawn to permit the Republicans a
constitutional two-thirds vote by
which the treaty and the league of na-j
tions covenant would be ratified with I
reservations and allow "the people to;
pass judgment" at the polls.
Mr. Bryan very emphatically stated!
that there has been no "split" in the
Democratic party and that such a
inclusion should not be drawn from
t. adresses of himself and President
Wilson at the Jackson day banquet.
"The presidents letter read at
Washington." continued Mr. Bryan,
"contains words open to construction
that indicate to me that compromise
is possible. The president did well
it Paris. He did more than we could
expect any man to do."
Mr. Bryan said his plan of compro
mise or. the alternative of allowing
the Republican majority to record its
will was "just the simple old Ameri
can plan of majority rule' With rat-1
ification accomplished, he said, "then
we will have peace and the league of
nations and vre can go to work."
"The constitution gives the senate
the right f ratify upon its own
terms," minority and we must, ac
quiesce with the majority. It is
abhorrent that ratification must be de
layed for 4 months because this is a ,
government where no one man can tell i
another what he must. do.
"Who has the authority to say that I
the president will or will not accept
a reasonable comprrmise. My idea
simply is to suggest a way out. 11
have not left the beaten track and I j
only apply old rules to new'conditions.?
The boll weevil conference on the
15 th instant, under the auspices of the
liemson College extension department,
should be attended not only by every
farmer of Sumter county, but by ev
ery banker, merchant and other busi
ness man of this city and the other i
towns of the county. The results off
the boll weevil invasion may not be:
disastrous this year, as weather con- j
ditions may not be faovrable for the!
rapid multiplication and spread ofj
the pest throughout the county from !
the known centers of infestation, but:
i
this no man knows nor should any;
one count upon the weather helping
them to fight the weevil and make a'
full crop. A wet summer means rap- j
id spread of the weevil and little cot
ton per ac re. The experts who will j
speak at the conference will tell the
farmers how to combat these condi- |
tions and what cr?ps to plant on the I
acreage not given up to cotton. The ,
business men and bankers will be in- '
terested in hearing what the market
ing experts and live stock men will '
have to say about the necessary c*- :
operation between business men and
farmers if this county is to continue M
to prosper agriculturally under Ixdi^
weevil conditions.
The town that buids houses is the.
town that grows in population and
business. The business men of .Sum
ter, who depend upon the people gen
erally for patronage, will find that
house building will pay big profits in
directly, even though they do not re
ceive 12 per cent net on the invest
ment from the monthly rentals.
Barbecue and Hot Supper.
There will be a barbecue and hot.
supper at Dinkins 'Mill on the night
of January 16th to which everybody is
invited. Every viand that is calculat- ;
ed to tempt the appetites of hearty
eaters and epicures will be served. It
will be a real old-fashioned country^
barbecue and supper, with the modern^
trimmings and accessories. Be sure to 1
be there if you want to have a good
time. i
