Gov. Rlease.

Gov. Bleasei of South Carolina de-
clared in an address before the Con

ants Of white women to be punish,
ed. He said:
II have said it all over the state
of Carolina and say 1t now, that
of South Carolina and | say it
now, that / will never order
the militia to shoot down their
neighbors and protect the black
brute who has committed a
nameless crime against white
woman. Therefore in South Caro-.
lima, let II be known that when 9
negro assaults white woman al
that Is needed is that they get tht
right man and they who get hin
neither need or will receive trial.
Gov Blease is an indiscreet execu
tive. How much more good hi
could have accomplished by keeplns
his thoughts secret and putting
them into action. without divulginl
to the public his feeling In the mat
ter. He has placed, in South Caro-
line. premium on lynching bees
he has invited the men of his stat,
to take the law into their ow,
hands and administer 1t to the blacl
brute. promising them immunit,
from punishment.
We will have to admit there Is n
punishment too severe for the negr
who assaults any woman, white 0

The Reck Pile.

| Cairo is to re-establish the rock
pie as a means Of max ng things 50
unpleasant for offenders that they
will think twice before breaking
the law. Cairo had a similar rock
pile about ten years ago and 1t
had advantages as we'll as disad
vantages. In the first place, the
prisoners, after having devoted the
day to pounding rocks, required
hearty food. This resulted in les
sening of the profits of the jailer.
And besides this. the big rocks, after
having been made into little rocks,
better known as nacadam. by the
prisoners, weuh disappear. This
,iAdskof worry the iailes in the least.
Aasmuch as his profits did not d.
pend upon the amount of work done
by the prisoners, or the sale OF the
cracked rocks, but 1t was source
of much worry to the taxpayers,
who were sofsthe opinion that some
profit should be derived from the
material. Cairo needs a rock pile
for It's offenders and the council will
exhibit good judgment If it passes
the ordinance now being drawn by
the city attorney. But let US hope
and pray that when the rock pile IS
established, that al Of the offenders
will be required to work on Il,

.Ponderous Perscneges
MARTIN VAN buren,
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Coed Old Siwash."

Martin Van Buren was i.sborn
December 5, 1871, and became a
politician shortly afterwards, AS
this would INDICATE, he was New
Yorker. He cRne from old Dutch
stock and was distinguished by the
firm and uncompromising manner in
which he made up his mind with glue
and steel riyets on all question&
Van Buren, set out for the prasi-
dency at an early age and adEsneed
step by step from the state senats and
state attorney generalship TO the
United States senate. the governor
ships Of New York, the seeretaTyship
of state, and the viee-presidencs In
those days vice Presidents weee.chqs7,
en- for their mental dimensi3ns aud
after Van Buren, had held firmly to
his seat during Jackson's eyclonic
last term he was elected president.
This was sad joke on Van Buren,,
because Jackson had spent his last
four years compiling and arranging
the greatest panic the young country
had had. This panic burst soon after
Van Buren, took office and he spent
four worried and toilful years hust-
ling Tor money to pay for stove coal
for the national capitol and shoe
strings for the army. He wrested
with yoraeious deficit for four years
in a statesmanlike manner. and as
reward the people voted him out of
office with great enthusiasm in 1910
Upon his defeat Van Buren, re-
turned home and continued to run for
the presidency with great energy and
persistence, being always on the un
popular side of every question. He
lost The nomination in 1914 because
he opposed the admission of Texas.
