Governor Wilson says there are too
many state boards in New Jersey. and
asks the legislature TO simplify the
government OF the state. In this rec
ommendation he adopted a suggestion
made by Governor Osborn OF Michi-
gan in his initial message. But the
Michigan Legislature couldn't see any
economy or increased efficiency in a
centralized commission and ignored
the proposal Of the executive. II will
be interesting to see II anything is
done with the plan In New Jersey, and
n so, how Il works out.

The Governors Conference

The Republican has heretofore alluded to the outrageous utterances of the unspeakable governor of South Carolina. Cole Bease before the govern ors conference at Richmond, Va. Much discon- nected comment all denuncatory of the governor has since appeared in papers all over the country those of the south especially conG1mnatory.
 The journalistic view of the conference and especially of the Blease episode has been collected in the Outlook last week under the head of "A Poll of the Press" whose remarks range from bitter criticism of Blease demand for his i'm pcachment.
 The BIcase affair it will be remembered out of a discussion the subject of the punish ment of criminals in the course of which Bease declared for lynch in certain cases and boasted that he had pardoned 200 convicts, expressing hope that he would have occasion to pardon twice that many before his retirement from office.
 The conference adopted resolutions repudating the sentiments of Blcase who retired dc1ying his colleagues
 The storm of indignation throughout the coun- try was passing away as such storms always do and the incident in way to be forgotten. Blease recently issued at one time eighty five parions That did arouse much comment for anything was expected from Blease
 But the whole matter was later renewed by the governor of Arkansas who enivened the Christmas season by pardoning 36o convicts some of whom were serving terms for in the first degree
 This has resulted a new agitation in many parts of the country which will take the form of attempted legislation in many divest gov ernors of the power of pardon and parole. Many governors have not abused this power but the conduct of the governors of South Carolina and Arkansas has awakened the country to the ever present possibility of abuse and to the mpropriefV of vesting with any man the power to open anu close the gates of penitentaries.

 It remains to be seen whether the people of South Carolina will indorse the stand of their gov ernOr, Cole l.. BeaSe who mads such a diSgracefuI exhibition of himself the conference governors. The attitude of the South CarOinans is debatable. for on the one hand they have kept "Pitchfork' 1'ilman in the senate term after term. but the other there has been a vigorous and searching in Nestigation into the fitness of this same Cole l.. Bleasc to hold the office to which be elected
 In any event, the governor has amply proved that he fit minee polite society the governors of American commonwealths. His exclusion from elaborate social function the to be the most humiating rebuff to which the ernor could be subjected The unanimity with which the expressed their dsapproval of Bleases actions in the conference and the summary in which he refused invitation to the dinner referred leaves doubt of the impression made by the South Carolina executive who consigned his conference colleagues and the constitution of the country to the conventional climate of billings gate.
 Now comes Governor Vardarnan of Mississippi in his expected approval of Bleases sentiments Bease gratuituosly injected the issue into the conference of governors and made wholly called for declaration approving lynch law. It would have surprised people if Vardaman had availed himself of the opportunity to get into tthe lmelight such issue
 Bease's offepse all the fragrant be- cause he did stop with the expression of his opinions in the matter of iynching negroes. His hell with the constitution" is not entirely unfamiliar.
