EX-GOVERNOR BLEASE

Filled with surprises as has been
his administration. there has not pos
sibly been bigger surprise han the
resignation of Governor B!casc. Judg-
ing from the reports of this resignn-
ton. there will possibly be many
9uesseS as to the real reason
for this action on his part.
coming as ii does so near the end OF
his term Of office. but the real reason
Will perhaps never be known The his

a place In the history OF this genera
tlon In South Carolina. which will be
unique. lie vii! hardly be c'a8sed as
a constructive force in South Caro-.
lima. but rather the opposite. Viewed
calmly and with u desire TO give him
due credit for all that lie has done. we
can hardly see where he has done
anything for South Carolina that will
tend to upbuild the State, or that has
entitled him to share in any glory of
achievement. Just now, we cannot
think of single act of his career that
was purely statcGmanlikc. Ills career
has been mcteoric. and while he has
gained notoriety. he will not he called
famous. One would hardly hold him
up as an example for his son to emu
late.
He has ability and had opportunity.
and bad lie chosen TO use Ii in the
right way. he could today be one Of
the great leaders in South Carolina
But his sun has set, and we hardly
believe he can ever come back"
South Carolinians must remember
that tho same causes which made Il
possible for n .Blcase to twice hold
the highest office I'm the gift of the
people. can again bring about such a
state Of affairs as will call forth an
other. We look to the incoming admin
lstration to be one of constructive
policies, and It should be one that will
forever heal the differences OF opin-
ion, and stamp cut the reign of the
dcmagogue fore ermore. Politics and
politicians have been the curse Of this
State, and we have had more than our
share OF pernicious political activity.
Let the people keep their eyes open,
and cultivate retentive memory so
that there shall be no more political
accidents.
Now that Blense is out, let us forget
that he has governed In the unwisc
manner that has characterized his
career politically, and turn our faces
to new future. and to the brighten
ing day that has dawned. Education

work for us to do. and II 1t be done

TREES FOR CAPITOL GROUNDS

The landscaping eff capitol grounds
will be in full progress by Arbor Day,
and the 5000 shrubs and trees which
are to be set out will arrive soon, and
work will be carried on rapidly.
The stock of trees and shrubs set out
on the grounds will all be native, ard
the plans are made to have trees and
shrubs setin ar entirely natural appear
ing growth, and not iii formal set lines
Of institutional appearance.
1t is the intention hal the South Da-
kota grounds will after five years of
growth of trees. be the most beautifu!
IN the United States, because no other
has natural lake, and the picturesque
setting with a real ravine as part of the
grounds. Most public institutions have
the regulation, fiat terraces. The boat
ing possibilities for skiffs and canoes
on Capital Lake are especially appre-
ciated in Pierre, because the Missouri
river is too swift and hazardous for any
thing but nigh power motor boats.

DRIFTING TOWARD DEMOCRACY

AS a result of a recent republican
conference it is understood that this
party is going to make a very decided
change soon in it's method of approach
ing the people. a spokesman tor those
who participated is quoted as saying
that the republicans are not going to
try to elect a man to the presidency in
1916, but to put the party back into
power. The idea is to restore the dom
ioance of party by making the iufiu-
ence of personality secondary. This
statement of changed attitude is TAX
en- TO mean that the party no longer
will be content with rallying around
vi individual, but will insist upon
putting policies and measures to the
front. Another important thing
sought, apparently, is the elimina-
lion of personal leadership. The
party, that is, shall lead; the nom
inees or those elected by the party,
instead of setting up for themselves,
are to follow the party and observe
its mandates.

The above item clipped from an Iowa

made a request of the City Commits
sioners for a license which would have

$4,000 per day. They would not accept
a license of that kind and went to the
st. Charles Hotel, where they opened
up and sold their furs without any H.

that it would have been a good plan for
the Commissioners to see hat such par
ties did not again do as these parties
did. Our merchants pay very heavy
taxes, carry larger stocks than the
business of the community justi6es and
are entitled to all the protection that is
legal. 1t will not be but a short time
until there will be an influx Of bank
rupt stocks of merchandise shipped
here to be closed out and if such
stocks are shipped in the city should
profit enough by the transaction so
that some reduction on taxes could be
felt by the local taxpayers.

THEY HELP EACH OTHER

Did you ever see a deaf beggar?
Probably not.
Did you aver see a Jewish pauper?
Probably not.
Did you ever see a Dunkard in the
poorhouse?
1t is safe to say you never did.
The deaf do not beg because the deaf
are organized to help each other. There
are many beggars who pretend to be
deaf, but the deaf mutes OF the coun-
try make the claim that these are i'm
posters. No great class which has a
good system of mutual aid will fail to
keep their members from falling into
beggary.
The Jews take care of each other.
There would be more Jewish paupers
than are furnished by any other class
Of similar numbers if it were not for
that fact, for most of the Jewish immi-
grants are very poor. But they help
each other.
The Dunkards are mostly farmers,
and they are more uniformly prosper.
Gus, 1t Is safe to say, than are the farm
ers of any other religious denomination.

acter for honesty, frugality, and in
