WOODROW WILSON SPEAKS.
New Jersey Governor is for Initiative
Referendum and Recall.
(To Be Continued.)


Richmond, Va, December 26.-The
following letter from Gov. Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey to Prof R. H.
Dabney Of the University Of Virginia,
Is published in the Richmond Times
Dispatch:
my dear Heath: We did not have
a chance when was with you to have
our talk out about the initiative, refer
endum and recall: it may be worth
while, therefore, in view Of the i'm
portance of the subject, for me to sum-
marize somewhat more formally what
said to you in scraps.
In the first place, with regard to my
own state of mind. l surrendered to
the facts, as every candid man must.
My whole prepossession-my whole
reasoning was against these things.
But when l came into contact with
candid, honest, public-spirite men
who could speak with regard. for ex-
ample, to Oregon,) from personal OBJ
servation and experience, they floored
me fiat with their narration Of what
had actually happened. / found In the
men who had advocated these things,
who had put them into operation, and
who had accomplished things by them,
not critics or opponents Of representa-
tive government, but men who were
eager to restore 1t where it had been
lost, and who had taken-successful
taken-these means to recover for the
people what they had unquestionably
lost-control of their own affairs.
I'm short, they were not trying to
change our institutions. The initia-
tive, referendum and recall were to
their eyes (as they are to mine) mere
lly a means to an end-that end being
the restoration of the control Of pub
lie opinion. Where opinion already
controls, there Is now actual, genuine
representative government, as / be-
lieve there is in Virginia and In the
south in general, they are not neces-
sary. Each state must judge for it.
SELF I do not see how it could be made
subject of national policy. The peo-
pie will, in my opinion, demand these
measures only where they are mani
festly necessary to take legislation and
the control of administrative action
away from special, hopelessly en-
trenched interests. They are no gen.
eral or universal panaceas!
The recall of judges l am absolutely
against, and always have been. 1t Is
remedy for a symptom, not for a
dsease-the disease being the control
of the system by influences which gen.
eral opinion has ceased to control.
1T interested me very much to find
that even in Oregon literally no one
thought of these new methods of ac-
ton as a substitute for representative
institutions, but only as a means OF
stimulation and control. They are as
devoted to the idea Of our representa-
tive institutions as we are-and are
bent upon realizing these ideas In prac-
tlce. That Is their conscious object.
las for the recall, it is seldom used
outside the municipalities. I do not
remember an instance of Its use on
state officer. It is merely a gun be-
hind the door
| Faithfully yours,
Woodrow Wilson"

PARDoNING OF JOHN BLACK.
Governor Blease Gives Reasons for
This Action.

The following embodies the state
ment that Governor Blease will make
to the general assembly as to why he
pardoned John Black:
BLACK, John, white, convicted at the
November, 1910, term of court fol
Chester county of conspiracy to de-
fraud the state and sentenced to five
years imprisonment in the state peni-
tentiary.
After reading carefully the testi-
mony given in this case and the charge
delivered by the attorney presiding as
special judge, in my opinion, John
Black should have been acquitted.
have practiced law more than twenty
two years and made a specially OF
criminal cases, having defended many
capital cases and very many of smaller
nature, and as to my reputation as q
criminal lawyer, l gladly leave that tc
the people of the counties where have
practiced, and to the judgment Of the
circuit judges before whom l have ap-
peared, and think from my experience
that l am as competent to judge OF the
testimony as that jury, and as well
posted on criminal law as the lawyer
who presided, and, in my opinion, when
John Black was convicted and his CO.
defendants acquitted, justice demand
ed that the verdict be set aside, and in
rfi oil nd l.
diced and we'll learned presiding OFF,
Ger, who had no political prejudice
against the dispensary or Black, would
have so acted.
Others have been let off by the pay
ment of a sum of money, who acknowl-
edged guilt, and of an offense involving
much larger sums of money than
Blacks transaction. They were saved
from the stripes and allowed to pay
back to the state a small, measly pit
tance of what had been received, while
this man, one Of the states own sons
was not allowed the privilege or given
the opportunity of paying a fine, but
absolutely forced into stripes and into
prison.; but, forsooth, because ne was
sickly, the words without labor were
added to meet. l presume, the great
command to show mercy; such mercy
as this is a stencil in the nostrils OF
men and mockery in the sight of God
Notwithstanding the immunity for pit
iful sums given to these foreigners
who had sworn in public court that
they had bribed and robbed the tax
payers of South Carolina out Of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. the mon
ey was given back to them, and all OF
1t in the name of the state Of South
Carolina.
For these reasons, exercising my
legal right under the constitution and
statute laws of South Carolina,
granted pardon to the defendant there.

Mr.. CLARK IN REPLY.
Seminole Trustee Writes But Docs Not
Say Anything.

Say Anything.
Governor Blease received a reply
from Mr.. w. A. Clark, one Of the trus-
tees Of the Seminole Securities COM
pany. This reply was to letter from
the governor some days ago, asking
these gentlemen to show cause, II they
desired, why pardons should not be
granted to John Y. Darlington and
James Stobo Young, now serving sem
tences of three and one year, respec-
lively. in the penitentiary for breach
Of trust in connection with the funds
of the Seminole company.
The reply of Mr.. Clark follows:
Columbia, S. c., Dec. 29, 1911.
His Excellency, Cole L. Blease,
Governor Of South Carolina-Govern-
or: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter Of the 22d,
addressed to me as trustee Of the
Seminole Securities company, in ref
erence to certain petitions for the par
don of Messrs. Darlington and Young
IlO" "tiNh ~
Please allow me in advance to cor
rect what seems a misconception on
your part of our relation to the Semi
mole Securities company.
This is true only to a limited ex-
tent. Our relation to that company
as trustees was for the purpose OF re-
ceiving such funds as the company
would place in our hands. to the
amount of 100000. and then to use
the same in the organization OF a
fidelity and casualty company, either
in the state of North Carolina or In
the state of South Carolina. When
100000 of assets had been placed
with us, we. in pursuance Of formal
resolution of the board Of directors
of the Seminole Securities company
paid over these assets to the South
ern Life Insurance company of Fay
etteville, y. c., for the purchase OF
the controlling interest in that COM
pany. which, by it's charter, was au-
thorized to write fidelity and casualty
insurance as we'll as life insurance.
The assets which then remained In
our hands were. by the order or the
court, delivered to the receivers OF
the Seminole Securities company.
You will therefore see, that In SO
far as the funds placed in our hands
were concerned, we have fully dls-
charged the duties imposed upon US by
the trust agreement, and all other du-
ties were terminated by the order OF
the court appointing receivers.
Your further say that, If you or
YOUR associates can show cause or de-
sire to furnish any reasons why these
parties should not receive executive
clemency, l would be pleased If you
would present the same to me on or
before the first of January, 1912
The offense charged against Messrs
Darlington and Young, and OF which
they were convicted, had no reference
whatsoever nor any connection with
our trusteeship, nor with the FUNDS
which were, under the terms Of the
trust agreement, placed Ia our hands;
but was in reference to other funds OF
the Seminole Securities company
which were never turned over to US mol
ever intended to be, as records in the
case, and the opinion Of the supreme
court will fully show.
For any further information l would
respectfully refer you to the record ir
the case of the State vs.. Darlington
and Young. Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
w. A. Clark"

not in deed. Nothing could wrest that
secret from her. She had been in
