SOLICITOR OTIS ANSWERS
CHARGES MADE BY GOVERNOR

To the Editor of the Journal:
In the report of the speech deliv-
cred by Governor Blease at Ark
wright last Saturday night he is quot
ed as saying:
"He said Solicitor Otis was CRITICS.
ing him for turning criminals loose,
yet he declared, Mr.. Otis had on
number of occasions petitioned him to
grant pardons to persons whom the
solicitor desired to use as witnesses
in court"
1 do not like to appear in print to
correct publications or speakers, and
especially a candidate who is running
for an Office other than that of So
licitor, but it seems for one not to
notice such things is to construe his
silence to be an admission of guilt;
otherwise l would ignore this gratu-
itous attack on me. l do not believe
that the people of this circuit will al
low even his excellency to dictate to
them whom they shall vote for for
solicitor. shall ask election at the
hands of the people upon my work as
solicitor. My work speaks for itself
and does not need to be bolstered up
by attacking any candidate, or by
swinging on the political coat tail of
any candidate for governor.
On July 20, 1911, l asked for a
pardon for Sallie Hammett, who had
been convicted of petit larceny by
the mapor's court in 1906, and on De-
cember 2S, 1911, | asked for a pardon
for Frank Finch, who had been con-
vlcted of petit larceny before Mag
istrate Berry. Both of these negroes
had served their sentences, but on ac-
count of their conviction for larcenv
they could not testify in court until
pardoned. l needed Sallie Hammett

now serving a life term; l needed
Frank Finch as witness in forgery
case, and the prisoner is now sery.
ing term for forgery. Governor
Blease knew all the facts, for / ex-
planned them in my letters to him,
which he printed in his campaign
document, Statement of Pardons and
Communications for the Year 1911"
See pages 10 and 26. 1 asked these
two pardons to vindicate the laws of
my state, and leave it to Governor
Blease's friends if l erred.

John ]. Wynne. S. j. of New York.
one of the editors of the new Cath
Ollie Encyclopedia, at Notre Dame
university in describing that publi-
cation to the priests of the Chicago
archdiocese.
Father Myune was summoned to
Notre Dame 10 explain the details of
the work to the Chicago priests who
are in retreat there.
"The encyclopedia" he told his
hearers, represents the work of 1900
writers and editors. 1t has taken
eight years to prepare the fifteen vol
umes, and the last one will leave the
press next week.
1T is by no means limited to Cath
olic subjects. 1t covers broadly the
whole field of human Knowledge-art,
science politics and especially all So
cial problems and sociology. Nor
does it deal with these in a contro-
versial spirit. All controversy has
been barred from its pages. 1t doeS
not deal with argument, but with
facts. We have tried to present a
many-sided view of everything. We
have tried particularly concerning
topics which are controversial to
present every side of them, to give
"a 20 y,r.g.ntatf.,
point of their supporters as we'll as
of their opponents.
"And l think we have succeeded
for We have received flattering testi-
monials from every side. Our article
on Russia, for instance. has been de-
clared the best of its kind in the Eng
lish language by no less an authority
than the Holy Synod.
Take our presentation of social
ism, for instance. It is written by one
of the ablest of British students. It
is not an argument against social
ism, although the Catholic church
condemns it. 1t aims to present the
fairest possible statement of what
socialism is of its claims. its tenets,
its purpose and its history.
1--WE have tried to establish a new
type for encyclopedias. We have tried
to put into our publication the facts
on every subject, and leave to the
reader be he layman or expert the
discussion to be based on these facts
We have endeavored to present a fair
statement Of every subject. as a basis
for controversial research or for ar
gument.
"The great social problems are daily
becoming more and more the sub
ject Of popular discussion. The Cath
olic church desires to encourage that
discussion, and we ave merely trying
to give to the readers Of this work
the knowledge of the facts which is
necessary to an intelligent discus
sion"
