Governor Craig has done the hand
some" by naming Editor H. B. Warner,
Of the Lexington Dispatch and South
ern Good Roads, as chairman Of
States's prison directors. Mr.. Warner
is b capable business man and puts
energy and ability behind whatever he
undertakes. He adheres strongly to
the belief that State convicts ought to

ton that he'll put them at it IL the

Postmaster General Burleson says
he proposes to place fourth class post
masters on a strictly civil service
bosia, thereby Indicating his sympathy
with the order promulgated by Presi-
dent Taft last fall including some s5.-
600 Of these officials in the classified
list. We believe in efficiency and trust
Jul conception of public fitness is a
correct n For time immemorial the
prevailing custom has been to change
~postmasters of every class with each
change Of administration and the
progress of the country has in nowise
been retarded thereby. The republic
cans lost last year and by every rule of
reason known to political ethics they
ought to be invited to step down and
out now.

This paper congratulates Senator
Simmons upon his elevation to the
Craftsmanship OF the-great Finance
committee OF the greatest legislative
body in the world. It is an honor
most worthily bestowed and brings to
him the opportunity Of a lifetime for
distinct service to his state and the
country. The election Of Senator Sim
n.on as chairman u the Senate Fl
nance Committee confirms the last pro-
phecy made by his friends during the
recent campaign and they feel very
happy over It. Great victory. In this
position the duty Of assisting in the
preparation of all tarin laws presents
ed to congress will devolve upon the
senior Tar Heel Senator. And he will
measure up to the requirement, all
right No trouble about thatEat all.

GoreSnor Craig recently pardoned r
Ii. watkins. the Black Mountain police
man whom he defended in the Bun-
|combe criminal court for shooting John
Hill Bunting. q prominent travelling
man and Paul Collins, a HillsborO bank
Len. three years ago. In outlining reas-
ons for his conclusion to release the
prisioner Governor Craig reviews the
testimony IN detail. declaring that the
victims had been terrorizing guests OF
the hotel and persisted in their conduct
despite the ~entreatiss of the manager
and others who plead with them to de-
sist from such acourse; that Police
man Watkins was called after midnight
Ito queH the disturbance. was attacked
BY the men in the dark, and shot them
IN self defense.
The Governor says he defended Wat
kins, fully believes him guiltless un-
der the law. and that he ought never
to have been convicted. He contends
that the prisoner did not have a fair
and impartial trial, at least one juror.
who tried the case having previously
expressed the opinion that Watkins
vas guilty Of murder. Judge Webb
had offered to limit the sentence to.
twelve months, suggests the Governor.
If prisoner would accept that as final.
but watkins still proclaimed his In
nocence and declined the proposition,
W%hereupon the Judge decreed that he
should serve a term of eighteen months
on the roads. He has served eight
months Of the twelve first contemplate
ed by Judge Webb, will have to pay
costs aggregating eight hundred dol
lars, and Governor Craig believes this
sufficient to expicate the ofense for
which he stands convicted. In this
conclusion the Governor is supported
by nine hundred citizens of Buncombe
county, including Solicitor Reynolds,
nearly every city and county %oficiai
and other leading men.
There has. been.some criticism OF
the Governor for extending executive
cIemency to a former client; that have
ing been chief counsel for watkins, he
would have done well to refer the case
to the Council of State, as Governor
eileen did in a noted case, in which he
had appeared for the prosecution.
Governor Craig might have prevented
criticism of himself by referring this
a s to the Council of State, but he
did not elect to take that course anG
aced his duty without finching. NJ
one vas better qualified to pass upon
the Watkins application than the Gov
ernor himself and he is to be commend
ed rather than censured for exhibiting
the courage of his convictions. He
doubtless expected to be criticised, but
preferred taking the responsibility up
on his own shoulders to shifting 1t up
on others. Watkins may have been 3.
little hasty and perchance, deserved
some punishment. But Governor Craig
is convinced that he fired in self-de-
tense and liberates him on that
ground.

formal Address of New Chinese
Republic Reaches Washington

public. Members of the cabinet point
ed out that the United States in ap-
pealing TO the nations of the world for
joint action had in effect been the first
TO demonstrate its attitude. It will he
q matter OF only a few days too. they
said. when the new republic would be
taken into the family of nations rep
resented at Washington. Reports of
attempted assassinations and political
unrest are not disturbing the admins
tration, they declared.
The cabinet took under considera-
tion also today the questions created
by the pending alien land law Iegisla-
tion in California. with the expressed
hope that California would not enact
any law TO impair treaty obligations.
The friendly feeling Of this country for
China. whose citizens also cannot be
naturaGzed was cited as an evidence
that the Wilson administration was
auNious TO promote good feeling in The
Far East and was especially anxious
10 retain the friendship Of Japan.
