GOV. BlEASE AT RICHMOND
Repeats His Conditional. Defiance of
the Constitution.

Governor Blease was in the centre
Of the stage at the Governors confer
ence at Richmond on last Tuesday, as
related in the Associated Press story
published on the first page Of today 8
paper, and he figured somewhat SEN
sationally again yesterday, as will be
seen from the following sent out by
the Associated Press from Richmond
last night:
Half of the fifty women in attend
ance at the Governors conference
here, hurriedly left the hall today
when Gov. Cole L. Blease Of South
Carolina, for the second. time defend
ing his doctrine Of lynching negroes
guilty of criminal assault, without a
trial, shouted his platform Ito hell
with the constitution"
This sentiment was in response to a
question hurled at him by Governor
Joseph N. Carey Of Wyoming. who de-
sired to know If Governor Blease had
not taken an oath to uphold the con-
stitution and laws of his state, and II
these laws did not protect colored men
as we'll as white men.
IT will answer that question" re-
piled the South Carolinian. And I
hope the newspaper men will get 1t
right, for in my campaign in South
Carolina they found that I am a fight
er and a cold-blooded fighter" he add
ed, grinding the words between his
teeth. when the constitution steps
between me and the defense Of the
virtue of the white women of my state,
1 will resign my commission and tear
1t up and throw 1t to the breezes
have heretofore said: To hell with the
constitution
At this point fully rs women, some
of them wives and daughters Of gov
ernors, left the hall. Seeing this Gov
ernor Blease subsidized.
Governor Albert w. Gilchrist of
Florida, instantly uttered stinging
rebuke THE first thing" he said,
that indicates manly man or a wom-
anly woman Is thoughtful considera-
tion for other people" He was cheer
ed. The greatest applause Of the ses-
sion had previously greeted Governor
Carey's question.
Later Governor John F. Shafroth of
Colorado, referred to lynch law doc
to society,"" he said, than 20 murders,
because a lynching permeates the en-
tire community and produces anarchy.
The influence Of mob rule Is most rep
rehensible. When laws are made 1t
should be the duty Of a governor to
enforce them, whether he approves
them or not. When the law prescribes
hanging for an offense, and man is
found guilty, he should be hung,
whether white or black, and there is
no excuse for mob law. I conceive 1t
to be our duty as governors to declare
for law and order"
Papers read by Governors Tasker L.
Oddie of Nevada, and James H. Haw-
ley ofIdaho, on uniformity In laws gov
erning divorce. were under considera-
ton when Governor Blease spoke
He defended the position Of South
Carolina, where no divorce Is permit
ted In any cause. He proceeded to dis
cuss the race problem, and said that
when an inferior race gets in the way
Of a superior race, the former Is swept
from the face Of the earth. He revert
ed again to his pardon record, boast
ing that he had pardoned and paroled
more negroes than all other governors
Of his state combined. since 1875.

BANK RETURNS

There Is a decrease Of $3,125.30 in
the aggregate amount Of taxes paid or
to be paid by the York county banks
this year as compared with last year.
Last year the banks Of the county paid
an aggregate of $6,677.66, and this year
there is levied against them only
$3,552.36.
+. This remarkable difference comes
about as the result Of a changed sys-
tenn in the making Of returns especial
ly relative to non-taxable bonds.
Formerly It was the custom Of some
Of the banks, If not the general rule to
take the aggregate Of capital, surplus
and profits, deduct the nom taxable
bonds and return fifty per cent Of the
remainder; but this year there has
the rule Of aggregating capital, sur
plus and profits, taking fifty per cent
of that, and deducting non taxable
bonds from the remainder.
For instance the difference Is like
this, suppose a bank had $4,000 capl-
tai and $4,000 surplus and profits,
and included in its assets were 100000
Of nom taxable bonds. Under the old
rule the capital, surplus and profits
would be added, making $4,000 and
$4,000 would be taken from that leav-
ing $4,000, and fifty per cent Of that
left for taxation would be $4,000. Un-
der the new custom, there is first TAX
en- fifty per cent Of the $4,000, leaving
$4,000, and then $4,000 Of non-tax-
able bonds are subtracted from that,
leaving $4,000 subject to taxation.
The comparative difference in the
amounts assessed and levied against
the various banks of York county this
year and last year may be fully COM
pretended in the following:

Santa Claus Letters.-Postmaste

Santa Claus Letters.-Postmaste
General Hitchcock yesterday issued an
order ordering all postmasters to de-
liver Santa Claus" letters to such
charitable institutions in the city or
town where received as may desire to
give attention to the requests they
contain. AS Christmas day approach
es many thousands Of letters are writ
ten to Santa Claus" by children of
the poor appealing for Christmas re-
membranes. The postmaster general
feels that the postoffice department
should aid so far as possible in the
philanthropic work of meeting the re-
quests. If the letters fail to bear
postage stamps 1t will be necessary
under the law for the postmaster to
forward them to the division of dead
letters, but in that event he is author
lied by today's order to submit the
names and addresses of charitable in
stitutions that are willing in worthy
cases to look after the inte5 asts of the
writer While this method Of hand
ling Santa Claus" letters will entail
some additional work upon the postal
service, Mr.. Hitchcock believes the
purpose in view will justify fully the
expenses.

LIKE SPARTAN BOYS OF OLD North Canadian Youths Are Tauuht Endurance Through Exposure
 to the Cold.

Whipping and exposure without clothes as training in endurance of cold for the North Canadian native boys has curious points of resen 1. blance to the training of theh boys of ancient Sparta. They also were inured to cold by being made to go barefoot and to wear the same clothes summer and winter; and they also underwent whipping. Only cold seems to have had nothing to do with the latter. The scourgings of Spartan boys before the altar of Artemis Orthia are supposed to have been a relic of human sacrifice Gin some cases boys actually died un- der the lash). But they were un- doubtedly utilized as training in, and test of, hardihood-the boys competing to see who could endure most without sound.
 And how such Spartan training of boys among the natives of northern Canada would have appealed to one of the Camerons of Lochiel. Sir Francis Galton records that, when bivouacking with his son in the snow Cameron noticed that the lad had rolled snowball to make a pillow. He thereupon rose and kicked it away, saying sternly, 'No etfemi- macy, boyl'
