BLEASE'S PARDONS.
Crimes Committed With
in 48 Hours by Freed Convicts.

Some day States will see the folly
and futility of electing Governors
like Blease, of South Carolina. Un-
til then the country must chafe at
the headlong spirit that still enables
demagogy to keep its grip on the
public imagination.
Blease has brought his folly to a
startling climax. Up to the early
part of the week he had pardoned a
total of 800 convicts, a record for
recklessness in the history of Amer
lean commonwealth. Then, last
Wednesday, he shamed his own
record by adding one hundred par
dons, in single batch, to his previ-
Gus performances, bringing the
total to 900. Of these hundred,
twenty-six are men convicted of
murder and as many more of man
slaughter. Often it happens that a
murderer merits pardon and parole,
and that the community and the in
dividual are the gamers thereby.
But it is impossible that in this case
fifty-two criminals should have had
record sufficiently clean to war
rant turning them loose on society.
The only explanation is a mental
quirk on part of Blease that units
him for the proper judicial discharge
of his office.
Two days only were required to
demonstrate the costly consequences
of Blease's perversion of the par
doning power. Forty-eight hours
after these ffty-two pardoned GRIM
inals were in the full enjoyment of
their liberty they broke loose" in
several South Carolina counties,
some committing crimes worse than
those for which they were pardoned.
1t is to be hoped the lesson will
not be lost on our sister Stat. No
more tragic illustration Of official
unftness has been offered in the
South in recent years. atlanta

Carload Machinery for
 Trench Company.

John Hoy, of Butte, Mont, was in Patagonia a couple of days this week in consultation with James H. Hogan, superintendent of the Trench Con- pany, in regard to the transportation of machinery for the Trench Mining Company from this station to the mine, a few miles from town. While here, Mr. Hoy was interviewed by Pata- gonia man, and expressed himself as we'll pleased with the copper outlook in thls district and says that before another year has passed, Patagonia will be on the map in good, big letters as one of the real camps of the west.
 It is believed by mining men here that Mir. Hoy is acting for the Clark interests of Montana. This, of course, is purely suppositions. The only thing known beyond doubt is that the Trench Company is shipping machin- cry into the district and preparing to do mining on an extensive scale.
 This freight shipment consisted of a carload of machinery for hoisting ap. paratus, including 50-horse-power gasoline engine and equipment. A car of gasoline is expected in day or two. Previous to the arrival of the hoisting engine and apparatus, there arrived in Patagonia carload of lum Der and cement for the Trench Com. pany. The cement was to bs used for building foundations for the engine and buildings on the mine property, and the lumber was principally for tim bering the shafts.-Santa Cruz Patagonian.

Arrivals from the Mogollon moun- talns yesterday reported that many cattle were dying on the range, owing to all water holes being frozen up dur ing the past three weeks, rangemen neglecting to keep them open since the country was buried deep with snow. The situation was to be reliev- cd by several owners going in to open up the usual watering places. The coldest weather ever known in that country was registered early in the present month, and as yet thawing has not taken place.-Journal-M Miner.

Daily 1houQht.

The workman who lives in his work and not by 1t is putting vitality and joy into every hour. He is not grind ing at dlstasteful tasks to the bare limit of the scheduled hours, and then hurrying elsewhere to live. He is con sciously living, exerting his powers, enjoying their exercise, in his daily task. This, then. becomes his exist ence, rather than the marginal hours spent outside the workshops Until every toiler can be so environed and so conditioned at his task as to feel this joy in it, society will not have solved the human problem. Carlyle 3 man who sings at his work is exactly this man whose heart reioiceth to run the daily race.-Mary Stanhope.

 The Lecturers had charge of lit- erary program in the theatre at 1 O. clock. Mrs. Walter E. Brown was chairman an and interesting program was carried out.
 At o'clock there were miscellan- eous sports, in which star sprinters were shown up in 100 yard dashes and three-legged races.
 The ball game was commenced at 3 o'clock, but was called before the fuii nine innings were played, out of consideration for the feelings of the umpire, who was getting in bad, and some of the heavy weight players, who had difficulty in negotiating the bases after some smashing hits. The teams were explained by A. J. Dan ielson and Harry Wells.
 The latter part of the afternoon and the evening were devoted to boating and dancing, and the testimony of those present was that the picnic was a great success.
