He was a new deputy sheriff ano
had been sent out on his FIRST trip
through one Of the most unproductive
sections Of Warren county, Kentucky.
Among other papers given him was an
execution against a man who lived on
about the thinnest tract Of land with
most dilapidated outbuildings to be
found even In this almost barren sec
ton Of country.
When the new deputy came In from
his trip he asked one Of tie expert
enced men in the ofice how to make
his returns on the various papers He
was told to write briefly the facts, as
he found and understood them, on the
back Of each one.
On the execution referred to above
he wrote as follows:

The lads and asses wander when the dark down

The loving lingering echoes twllights litany

Prof. Emil Muensterberg, head of the
public charities of Berlin, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the celebration Of the
twenty-ffth anniversary of the New York
Charity Organization Society at Carnegie
Hall recently, along with Mayor Nc
Clellan, Gov. Hughes and others. Prof.
Muensterberg said that charity work had
to be undertaken now in "the twilight Of
widespread egotism and selfshness," but
that the work had changed from purely
philanthropic to social conception. He
finds that private charity does in this
country the work done by the government

100000 Christmas Trees a Year.
In discussing the effect on the forests
OF the country by the use of Christmas
trees, of which 1t is estimated that 4,000,-
OCO are used each year, Clifford Pinchot,
United States forester, says that the eff

struction caused by forest fires and waste

these trees would be grown on less than
l, 400 acres. He says that trees suitable
for Christmas trees do not grow In the
old forests, where reproduction is most
important, but In the open, and there is
No more reason for an outcry against
using land to grow Christmas trees than
to grow flowers. According to Mr.. Pin
chot, the center of the Christmas tree in
dustry lies in the big cities of the Fast
New York City and the New England
States consume 100000 trees or nearly
one-half of all the output. Maine, New
Hampshire, the Berkshire Hills, in Mas
sachusetts, and the Adirondacks and Cats
kills, In New York, are the sources OF
supply for New York. Boston and Phila.
delphia, and even For Baltimore and
Washington. The swamps Of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota furnish the
markets of Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis and Detroit, while the local demand
throughout the central West Is mainly
supplied by nursery-grown Norway
spruce.

The Socialist Stage Society Of New

that when the society is in good running

intends to produce its own plays, which
1t is claimed can be done for a very small

When the legislation that the States
attorneys thought necessary to render
the State absolutely safe was presented
to the State senate, Mr.. Blea erlDosed
it vigorously and by fili,ustur de-
feated, as he claimed, the most impor-
tant of measures.
JUDGE HIS FUTURE BY HIS PAST"
When tell you that the commission
has found that Fleischman company has
overcharged the State $115, 600 in round
numbers and Ulman SOS, 900 and the re-
$40, 900 and the attorneys fee paid out
of the fund about $50, 600 you will see
that it will cost the school fund $270, 600

der to the United States court? Judge
his future by the past and answer.
WHY DIDN'T BLEAsE?
Again, he speaks of large appropria-
tions. He has, as he says, been con
nected for 16 years, with one or two
short intervals, with the legislature,
and he claims that he is one of the
great men of the senate because they
elected him president pro TEN. If that
is so, why has he not, with his great
influence and vote, held down appro-
priations? If he couldn't do it while a
member with vote of the body that
makes them how will he do it when he
gets III the governors Office, when he is
not member and has no vote on APP
preparations?
He speaks Of vctoing the bills.
Doesn't he know that the legislature
can pass them over hcgovernor veto?
Didn't the governor veto bill as un-
constitutional last year and didn't the
legislature pass it over his veto, the
senate being largely led in doing so by
Mr.. Blease?
He talks about an increase of $780,.
600 in appropriations. In the period of
which he speaks the old soldiers pen
sions was increased 5000, 600 and he says
he wouldn't veto that, and $50, 600 has
been appropriated to county high
schools, and Jefferson and Chesterfield
have both got them and nobody heard
Of strenuous fight on that by Mr..
Blease. That accounts for large part
of the increase.
Mr. Bleasc makes these charges
against the legislature and holds the
governor responsible.

Editor the Chcraw Chronicle:

iLIllluI IUc bIlcEdW OIrOnlCle.
Referring to your questions about
Mr.. Blease, | will make the following
statement:
He was a member of the committee
To investigate the State dispensary.
Mr.. Lyon and Mr.. Christensen, who did
the heavy work and unearthcd lot of
rottCnncsS, found that to accom-
pIish anything they had to keep their
counsel from Mr.. Blease and that there
was stroag evidence that he was giving
tips to the "grafters." 1t came out
that one Samuel j. Lanahan had en-
ploycd a State senator to represent his
house and work on the matter of sales
for him in violation Of the law
When the witness, Mr. Lewis w. Par
kcr, was called on to give the name of
the senator, he declined to give it un-
less forced to do SO. Mr.. Blease led
the fight to keep him from being forced
to tell and by one vote the committee
refused to require Mr.. Parker to give
the name.
PROTECTING WRONGDOERS.
Mr.. Blcasc stated to Mr.. Parker be-
fore unimpeachable witnesses that he
knew all about the matter and knew
the senator referred to and appreciated
his action in refusing to give the name.
1t was afterwards stated by Mr.. Par
kcr, when required to do so by the pres
cnt dispcnsary commission, that Mr..
BlcaSc was the man. Mr.. Blease de-
nics that he was the man. He knew
who the man was and was on the com
mttcc to run down the law breakers
and corruptionists and in the face of
that, with knowledge of State officer
who had been violating the law he was
appointed to vindcate, he was active in
protecting the wrongdoers.
If elected governor, would he be less
active if some of the evldoers, whom
he was then protecting in violation of
his duty, were now convicted? Again,
when the appropriation was asked for,
to be used by Mr.. Lyon in prosecuting
the wrongdocrs, he opposed it vigor-
ously. Will he allow the convictions
that may follow such prosecution to
stand if he is governor?

pany found that the dispensary commits

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A couple of weeks ago the Cheraw
Chronicle asked several questions. 1t
wished to know whether, if elected gov
crnor Blease would pardon the graft
crs. 1t said that the association of
Bleasc with the graftcrs and his efforts
to help them block the efforts of the
State government to land them, made
that question important He was
asked, too, whether he would use all
means to prevent the United States
court getting possession of the dispen-
sary fund, and thereby blocking further
investigation of the frauds against the
State. AS to those questions w. F.
Stevenson makes the following enlight-
cning comment:
