A LIMIT TO ENDURANCE.

We do not commend the governor
for some of the language he has used
in the campaign; and We equally
condemn others in the campaign for
the use of unsoftened language, with
great deal less provocation than the
governor has had. The Manning Times
says: THAT Governor Blease is the
victim of merciless prosecution there
is no doubt; the opponents of the man
are seeking his utter destruction; no
stone is left unturned to accomplish
their purposes. This being true, we
can readily understand how a man
even in his high position will be- ex-
into forgetting the proprie-
ties of public debate to give vent to his
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-07-19

of bad roads in this country is shown
to be of such enormous proportions as
to demand immediate reformation and
the exercise of the wisest and best
craftsmanship.
But great as is the loss to trans
portation, mercantile, industrial and
farming interests, incomparably great
er is the material loss to the women
and children and the social life, a
matter as important as civilization it
self. The truth of the declaration OF
Charles Sumner, so years ago, that
"the two greatest forces for the ad-
vancement of civilization are the
schoolmaster and good roads" is en-
phasized by the experience of the in
tervening years and points to the Wis
dom of a union of the educational,
commercial, transportation, and in
dustrial interests Of our country in
aggressive action for good roads"

TRACED + liNgS.'

Strong language does not add to the
force of an argument, and is not in ac-
cord with the proprieties. At the same
time, We can agree with the Manning
Times that the governor has had very,
very great provocation. As the Times
goes on to say: The opponents of the
governor have secured the earth, and
for what we know the regions below,
to implant into the minds of the people
a suspicion of corruption; they have
even used a legislative committee to
go out of its way and exceed it's au-
thority to aid them in their scavenger
work; they brought into play the rot
tenness of the city of Charleston-a
rottenness confessed TO have existed
there from the beginning of the dispen-
sary regime; they have done every
thing to make the people of the State
lose confidence in him. No man, since
the days of Tillman's activity in State
politics, has been so bounded; even
Tillman did not have TO 60 through
with what the present governor is ex-
periencing."
And, while we condemn the use of
intemperate language in public debate,
we recognize the governors provoca-
ton. After all, there is some lin
it to human endurance.

If Governor Blease is reelected it
will clearly demonstrate that there
are more crooks and imbeciles in
South Carolina than there are honest
men, .-Gaffney Ledger.
1t is not uncommon for the minority
to regard the majority as crooks and
imbeciles. The majority manages to
get along somehow, however, in a
Democratic government. And, as We
have tried to point out to both sides
in this campaign, Incorporate Ian
guage doesn't do anybody any good.
Editor DeCamp's assertion that in
case of Blease's election it will be
demonstrated that there are more
crooks and imbeciles in South Caro-
lima than honest men isn't going to
land the majority of the people of
South Carolina in the penitentiary
and the State Hospital for the Insane.
Just as matter of expediency, there
isn't room enough, and, besides, min
ority couldn't we'll handle a majority.
So what's the use of getting red-eyed
and tearing ones shirt? Editor De-
Camp is naturally of a sweet DISPOSE
ton and a sunny temperament. We
don't want to see him lose these fine
qualities of his. We want to see him
keep as cool as possible this hot
weather. The old State has not yet
taken journey to that notorious re-
sort where jay-birds are reputed to
spend their Fridays.

RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A COVER.

The following is from the Portland
Morning Oregonian:
"The Straightforward course for
Roosevelt and his followers to pursue,
if they do not wish to abide by the ac-
ton of the Republican convention, is
to go bodily out of the Republican
party and organize a third party. But
they are so devoted to their high moral
idea that they use it to cover course
of duplicity and double dealing which
is anything but moral and which can
result only in that chaos in which they
appear to delight"
There is in this brief paragraph an
arraignment of a condition which is
becoming too prevalent, and it might
be applied to certain conditions in
South Carolina just at this time.
There is no greater wrong than that
done under the banner of righteous
ness. There is no more prevent
ed moral idea than that used to
cover course which will not har-
monize with square dealing be-
tween man and man. There is
no greater danger to society, and none
more calculated to bring about con-
dition of social and moral chaos, than
the "high moral idea" with which a
man becomes so imbued that he be-
lieves he can do no wrong, that others
against whom he is at war, politically
or socially, must always be wrong, this
high moral idea warpiag the soul, re-
ducing it within narrow limits, and
leading it to perpetrate wrongs which
can never be righted, and to perpe-
trate them under the cloak of a high
and holy righteousness.

Says the Charleston correspondent

Says the Charleston spondent
of the Columbia State:
''The pastor of one of the largest Lu-
theran churches in Charleston claims
that his appeal to the governor for
leniency in behalf of the pardon on the
ground that the pardon would make a
new man of Rabens, was not without
its effect upon Gov. Blease in getting
the pardon
We presume this was DR.. W. A. G.
Mueller, who appears in the record of
the case as having been interested in
securing the pardon.
DR.. Mueller is a minister of the Lu-
theran church upon whom Newberry
college, at its recent commencement,
conferred the degree of doctor of di-
vinity.

Tillman's statement without being con-
vinced that South Cardinals senior
senator voted upon this matter as his
conscience dictated.

That single-term plank in the Dem
ocratic platform seems to be causing
a good deal of worry. There wasn't
any use to try to put everything in
one platform, anyway. The Baltimore
Sun during the convention urged a
one-plank platform, clear and to the
point, contending with a great deal of
force that the essential difference be-
tween the two parties could be covered
in a platform of that kind. Platforms
are sometimes like public speakers
too long.

In the Columbia State of Thursday
morning a gentleman in Spartanburg
takes the Columbia State to task for
these omissions; saying: "You did not
publish all the dictagra,ns. You made
voluminous selections, but you left out
smaller but important sentences here
and there in Mr.. Nichols favor. Is
the conscience of your telegraph edi-
tor clear that in these eliminations he
did not purposely suppress the truth
and distort the facts and do a grave
wrong, unworthy of great paper"
The Columbia State editorially says
it presents Mr.. VIM. NJ. Jones' card
(the card above referred to, which
goes on to defend Mr.. Nichols), Gin
the fullness of magnauimity." 1t ac-
cuses Mr.. Jones of having warped
mind by reason of "a not unnatural be-
lief in the integrity of his nephew"
The Columbia State then goes On to
say:
"The report published on Monday
was cut down. Ten columns OF dicta-
graph was furnished. The news edi-
tor, who possibly knew more of the
exigency of the hour than did Mr..
Jones in Spartanburg, ordered reduc-
ton to five columns. Nothing that
was omitted hurt Mr.. Nichols, and
those who read the reports in the State
and who now read the extracts in Mr..
Jones' letter that he complains were
omitted will find they are familiar.
They were covered in some other part
of the long conversation. One part OF
the expurgated matter referred to one
or more of Spartanburg's married wo-
men that we are quite sure Mr.. Jones
would not have in the published rec
ord.''
The "exigency of the hour in the
Columbia State office seemed to de-
mand that everything be eliminated
which looked favorable to the "de-
fence" in the cease" of Fielder and his
detectives ct al. VS.. Blease and every
body in South Carolina not thoroughly
anti-Blease. 1t would seem that In cut
ting down matter, where charges had
been brought against gentlemen,
whose editor undertook to
teach the South Carolina Press asso-
citation the "ethics Of journalism
would be very careful not to eliminate
all the matters favorable to the accus-
ed.

we have fallen-times when the "ex-
ieency of the hour" seems to demand

NICHOLS, BLEASE AND "TRE
EFFICIENCY OF THE HOUR"

j
The alleged dictagraph record Of a
conversation between Sam ]. Nichols,
the Spartanburg attorney, end Detec-
tive Porter" in Washington hotel,
which was published in The Herald
and News of Tuesday, appeared in the
morning dailies of Sunday morning.
On Monday morning appeared II al
legged dictagraph record of a convtrsa-
ton between Nichols and Porter"
prior to the Washington conversation,
the conversation presented in Mon
days papers being alleged to have
taken place in the Hotel Finch, at
Spartanburg. Why the second CONVEX
sation was published frst-whether it
was because it was given out to the
newspapers first. or for some other
reason-dces not appear.
The News and Courier of Monday
morning publishes the alleged Hotel
Finch conversation in full In it Mich
OILS is alleged to have made to Porter"
such statements as these:
"They think Blease is taking graft;
that's a damn lie, Blease has never
received cent since he has been gov
ernor. But with me, I'm practicing
law, and cases come to me, and 1 have
to make fees out of it; he wouldn't
take anything himself, though"
"Mr. Porter: Of course, we
all know that these elections are ex-
pensive, and require the expenditure
of more or less money.
"Mr. Nichols: No, he wouldn't do
that, he wouldn't accept cent. :"
| In the alleged conversation Nichols
goes on to relate of Blcase telling him
that Blease himself had paid money
out of his own pockets giving railroad
fare to men he had Dardcned, and,
'now, can that kind of man buy
pardon, and if they could couldn't
these two men buy out?" (speaking of
two men Nichols in the alleged con-
versation says are now serving life
sentences, one worth about 100000
and the other and his relatives about
s5oO,oooD.
In the alleged conversation Nichols
tells of refusing large amount to
seek pardon for a nan, telling the
people who offered it, NO, Mr.. Green,
| won't do it if you'd give me your
whole farm l wouldn't do it; | repre-
sent people in that section, and they
blame me for representing him, but
I've got a right to represent my clients,
but I haven't got right to ask my
friend, the governor, to pardon him, for
1 believe he's right u
In this alleged conversation Nichols
said to Porter: "I'll tell you frank
ly if you had all the money in the
country, if l didn't think your man
ought to be pardoned, l wouldn't have
a thing to do with it, because I had
refused both of those fellows that
told you about. Blease knows 1 have
got his interest at heart, and he knows
I'm not going to advise him to do any,
thing that he oughtn't to dc"
There are other statements along the
same line contained in this alleged
photographed conversation, and the al
legged talk of Porter" throughout
seems to be to try to lead Nichols to
give some statement upon which a
suspicion of the governor could have
foundation.
These statements, as We stated, are
taken from the report Of the alleged
conversation published in the News
and Courier of Monday morning.
