Spotswood, Dec. 5--Much interest

Yes. there Is too much Of this par
doning business. We are not hitting
At Governor Blease, especially. We
have known other governors to grant
pardons under conditions that were as
indefensble as any that Governor
Blease has granted. There is such a
thing as a proper exercise Of executive
clemency; but there are few who are
clothed with the pardoning power who
do not abuse it. We fear that more par
dons are granted by way Of conces-
sion to the opportunities Of influential
interests than because Of considera-
tions of either justice or mercy. A
Judge in Yorkville recently said that
mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the
innocent. We do not endorse that
doctrine without reservation, for to do
so would suggest the idea that legal
punishment Is inflicted for purposes Of
revenge. It would mean that because
a man has been wronged he is entitled
to a play for even. This would not
be creditable to the real purpose OF
the law. But still there is something
in the proposition quoted. According
to our view the punishment Of law
breakers is not to be considered as be-
ing based upon the idea Of vindic-
tiveness against such law-breakers;
but as a protection to society at large
to prevent others from doing likewise.
And from this standpoint the exercise
of executive clemency is very serious
matter.

more profitable than fifty acres of cot
ton" His experiment Is we'll worth
watching at any rate.-Charlotte OBJ
server.
This is interesting and recalls the
fact that silk raising Is not altogether
a new experiment in this country. An
industrial missionary came to York
Vile about 1910 and persuaded the
people here that the development of
the silk industry promised great
things for the future Of this country.
Many people were interested and a
large number of scions of the silk
mulberry were ordered and set out.
Many Of the experimenters produced
cocoons in considerable numbers and
had pounds of silk for sale. But for
several reasons the industry did not
flourish. The main reason was that
there was not enough persistence.
However, it is a fact that the county
was pretty we'll stocked with silk null
berry trees, and specimens were still
to be seen up to a few years ago. But
we are merely citing these facts as a
matter of record. and not to discour-
age further experiments. 1t is quite
probable that the silk industry can be
developed here, and we would like to
see anytime along that line that can
be done.

Whether a falling or q virtue 1t Is
true of most men that they desire the
appreciative recognition Of their fell
lows. Some want official preferment,
some want social honors, some busi-
ness confidence, and others aspire to
leadership in other lines. 1t Is an un-
fortunate fact that many seekers after
the end suggested decide that the best
means to secure what they want Is
policy, scheming. false pretense. This
is a serious mistake. Men who have
followed this course have deceived
themselves into thinking that they had
reached the goal; but they have de-
ceived themselves only. The only way
is the honest, legitimate way, and how
ever great the competition in the 9TH
er ways, there is no monopoly on this
way. The field is open for all who de-
sire to secure the regard of their fell
lows by actually deserving that re-
gard. One Of the best ways open Is
through excellence in ones business.
No matter what that business is, the
thing is to discharge every duty hon
estly, earnestly and conscientiously
and when one finds that he has earn
ed the sincere regard of himself, he
need not fear as to the attitude OF
others.

Commissioner Watson, in an address
to the farmers of York county last
week, said that If he were a member Of
the legislature he would introduce a
bill to require each county to purchase
and own a thoroughbred bull of some
standard dairy type.
That would be fine, Of course. but
Commissioner Watson might go fur
ther. He might say that If he was
member of the legislature he would
introduce a bill to give each citizen
calf, or a cow, or horse and mule.
Might as we'll go the whole thing as
to go part of the way.-Anderson Mail.
We do not think the proposition Is
nearly as bad as it seems to appear
to the Mail. There could be pointed
out a dozen instances of more objec-
tionable paternalism. But so far as
we are concerned, we do not think
York requires anything Of the kind.
The people of this county are now suf-
ficiently advanced to do by private en-
terprise that for which Mr.. Watson
suggests legislation.

We like the referendum idea under
proper restrictions, but not as applied
to the recall Of judges. 1t is not an
uncommon thing for representatives
in legislative bodies to forget what
they are there for, who they stand for
and whence their real power lies 1t
is well to have a means whereby the
people may undo the bad work of such
men. or course there are corrupt
judges; but corrupt judges are the ex-
ception. The average man who is
able to attain the dignity of judge
thinks more of his reputation and his
honor than he does of considerations
of personal gain. He is generally
honest. and i'm most cases right. Some
times he. is right even when the peo-
pie think he is wrong. Few are the
people on this earth who do not some
times need to be corrected. and If we
had power over the correcting agen-
cies we would not stand for many cor
rections Criminal and Incompetent
judges may be impeached; but 1t Will
never do to undertake to recall judge
merely because he declares an opinion
contrary to the popular view at the
time. 1t would be just as we'll to have
no judges at all. OF course this Is not
in accordance with the common idea of
a large number of folks who think
that government by the people means
that the people have right to do what
they will. The right Of self-govern-
ment, government by the people,
means the right to do right-nothing
more and nothing less-and the idea
of a judge being recalled for doing
right is something horrible, especially
when it is so true that in short time
afterward, when the people get right
they will have occasion for such bitter
regrets. Bad, constituencies. criminal
Judges may be impeached under our
present system, and that is all that is
necessary.

I Last week Governor Blease went TO
picnic. In the News and Courier was
published a story to the effect that
the cotton mill operatives had asked
the management to be allowed to at
tend the picnic and when their request
was refused went anyway. Later an
official of the company wrote the News
and Courier stating that there was no
truth lin the published story; that the
operatives had not even asked for
holiday. The State intimated that the
News and Courier story had been given
to the Columbia correspondent OF that
paper by or at the instance Of Cover
nor Blease. The News and Courier
made a statement to the effect that
the story came through reliable
sources and that Governor Blease had
nothing to do with it. The Columbia
Record prints a statement to the ef-
feet that the News and Courier's orig
inal statement Is substantially correct.
When we saw the States reproduction
of the News and Courier story togeth-
er with the denial Of the mill officer
we were considerably Jared. 1t look
ed like the News and Courier had
either been imposed upon, or that 1t
was engaged in a deliberate perversion
of the facts. This we would hardly
believe, for during a more or less in
innate familiarity with this paper COW
ering a period Of thirty years. we have
never known 1t to swerve the path OF
moral rectitude. We have never seen
in 1t any evidence Of dishonesty, ma
levolence or injustice. We could not
believe either that man Of sufficient
inte .hgence and standing to hold an
important position in the management
of a large cotton mill would deliber-
ately sign his name to any kind Of
statement that is not in accord with
the facts The whole thing, therefore,
iarred u.s. We have not yet seen a
satisfactory statement Of the inward
ness of it all. From our experience in
such matters we would infer that
while there may have been an attempt
to take advantage OF appearances
somewhere, there has been no actual
guilt as to wilful Misrepresentation OF
the facts. 1t Is possible that some or
the operatives may have said things
that were taken as a warrant for the
published statement, and somebody
may have heard things that seemed to
indicate hostility on the part Of the
management. But we do not feel call
ed upon to explain or apologize. We
think that a broad, liberal and correct
statement Of the facts would probably
show that no one has been guilty OF
intentional deception.
