The following letter to the editor
of the Columbia State, and reply
thereto, Is contained in q recent issue
Of that paper.
Some Of us have gotten into an
argument as to the pardoning rec
ords Of Governor Blease and Cover

Cooper pardoned nearly as many as
Btease. AS it might be Of peculiar in

have their memories refreshed as to
some of our past history, l would
appreciate your giving US the par

and ask also that you quote the pro-

The Records of Two Governors.

The Records Of Two Governors.
The State has obtained the desired
information from the records at the
Secretary Of States office, and from
other reliable sources. The records
show that Governor Blease granted
1908 pardons, paroles and commu-
tations Of sentences during his four
years as Governor against 303 par
dons, paroles, combinations Of SEN
tences and restorations of citizenship
by Governor Cooper during the three
years and four months he was Gov
ernor. These figures may contain a
few Implications, but they are very
nearly accurate, coming within few
cases OF being absolutely accurate. In
the 1,70S granted by Governor Blease
are not included large number Of
rardons granted to some persons he
had already paroled under his "blan-
ket pardon" granted short time be-
fore he went out Of office. In this
s'blanket pardon" Governor Blease
restored all the persons he had pa
rolled during good behavior to citi-
zenship.
Governor Coopers record was 203
paroles during good behavior, ~
pardons, SO restoretions to citizen
ship and Is combinations Of SEN
fences.
Governor Manning granted 217
pardons, paroles, restorations of ci:i-
zenship and combinations of sem
tences during his four years, divided
as follows: 157 paroles during good
behavior, seven pardons, 20 commu-
tations Of sentences, and "a restora-
tions of citizenship.

WALHALLA, 8. O.
WEDNESDAY, JULY s, 1922.
ENROLL NOW FOR ELECTION.

All Democrats in South Carolina,
both men and women, must enroll
in the very near future for the DEM
ocratic primary this summer, or they
will not be allowed to vote.
This fact should be borne in mind
by all, especially by the women, who
may be laboring under the impress
sion that the possession Of registra-
ton certificate will entitled them to
a vote in the primaries, which Is, of
course, correct, provided other steps
are taken incident to the privilege OF
casting a ballot. No one can vote In
tho primary election whose name Is
not on one Of the club rolls In the
county in which he or she resides.
Yet the fact that one has gotten his
or her name on a club roll will not
give the privilege Of casting ballot
unless such person Is in possession Of
n registration certificate. And vice
versa. The possession Of a registra-
ton certificate will not get any one
a vote without the name being pro-
perly enrolled on some clubs list Of
voters. See that you are in possession
OF a registration certificate and also
that your name is on some club roll.
The time Is growing short. The
club lists will be closed after the 25th
Of this month, and after that time 1t
will be impossible to put ones self
In position to cast ballot in the Au-
gust and September primaries.
Get yourself ready to vote!

under water, were put out OF op-
Grafton.
Five hundred persons reported
killed at Vallenar and In the dis
tricts surrounding the city. At
Coquimbo 400 are known to be
dead. The damage from the sue
cession of earth shocks was heavi-
est in the northern provinces Of
Antofagasta, Atacama and Co
quimbo. All along the coast ships
were swept ashore, pounded
against the rocks or left high and
dry. At many small ports wharves
and quays were destroyed.
The tidal waves which followed
the earthquakes indicated gi-
gantic disturbance beneath the
Pacific. The waters first were
drawn away from shore, far be-
low the low tide mark, and then
they came rushing back in a great
wave which some observers said
was so meters in height. At An
tofagasta this was repeated five
times, until the city was battered
almost to ruins and the entire
population fled to the hills.
The tremors were so severe that
some of the seismographs were put
out of operation. The total dura-
tion of the shocks was 8 hours and
40 minutes and the estimated ra-
dius 1900 kilometers in direc-
tion transversal to the Andes.
The meteorological institute an
nounced that the earth shock CO..
incided with the passage Of a sun
spit over the central meridian Of
the solar body. The sun spot
made it's appearance on November
S and was the largest observed
this year.
At Valparaiso, it was pointed
out by Rear Admiral Martin, di-
rector of the navy meteorological
service, the earthquake came just
as the conjunctions Of Mercury
and Jupiter and Neptlne and the
sun were approaching, and he de-
clared this was significant.

THREE JUDGES
SIT IN HEARING
OF PHONE CASE

Portland, Ore, Nov. 13.-Three
federal judges began today to
hear evidence on the contention
of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company that the re-
cent emergency reduction in rates
ordered by the public service COM
mission is unconstitutional. The
company seeks to prevent the re-
duction on the ground that it is
a confiscation of property.
Judges Gilbert, Wolverton and
Bean listened to affidavits from
several company officials, stating
that increase in costs had more
than equalled the growth of rates.
"These facts are not appreciated
by the public or an inexperienced
regulative body" declared Omar
G. Spencer of counsel for the
company, with the result that
reductions have forced public
utilities In many cases to seek
refuge under the 14th amend
ment."
Six such cases have been filed
In superior courts and about 80 in
lower courts, Spencer said.
The reductions ordered by the
commission as an emergency step
while rehearing is in progress,
affect only a limited class of Port
land telephones.

NEW APARTMENT
HOUSE ASSURED

Articles of incorporation for
the Capitol Apartment company
who ar to build an apartment on
the corner of Court and Capitol
streets on the Fred Theilson prop
erty at a cost of approximately
100000 were filed today with
Fred D. Thielsen, w. e. Wilson
and Warren Armington as incor-
porators.
The work on the building will
be started as soon as possible, 1T is
said. The new edifice is to be
constructed of reinforced concrete
with light brick facings. The con-
tract has been let to Carl l.. Linde
of Portland, a specialist in the
building of apartment houses.
The building will be L-shaped
with all doors opening to the out
of doors instead of some opening
into court as was at first sug-
gested. The edifice will be of four
stories and English basement and
Is to contain 70 apartments all
fitted with electric stoves, disap-
pearing beds, and all other mod
ern conveniences. In the base
ment is to be a grille, 80 by 80
feet. A modern electric elevator
| is to be installed, according to
plans. Heat for the apartment
will be furnished by oil fuel.
Mr.. Armington came here from
Denver and became convinced
that Salem needed such a building
and at once began interesting citi-
ems in the project.

attack of yakao ozawa, japanese,
salesman for a large wholesale
firm here, on the American citi-

in the Hawaii courts severai
years ago, is said to have drawn
financial support from the Japa-

II a deciding test case.
Among other contentious Ozawa

his point he traced the history Of
the Japanese nation backward for
several thousand years to the Ainu

ment the assertion that Solicitor
General James M. Beck had ex-
pressed the belief that this par
ticular portion Of the Japanese
race had the distinct mark Of the
Caucasian.

Skin Test Impracticable. ---.--
"Manifestly the test afforded
by the mere color Of the skin Of
each individual Is impracticable,
as that differs greatly among per-
sons of the same race, even among
Anglo-Saxons, ranging by imper-
ceptable degradations from the
fair blonde to the swarthy bru-
nette, the latter being darker tnan
many of the lighter hued persons
of the brown or yellow races.
Hence to adopt the color test alone
would result in. confused over
tapping of races and a gradual
merging of one into the other,
without any practical line of sep
aration.
"The federal and state courts,
in an almost unbroken line, have
held that the words white per-

a person of what is popularity
known as the Caucasian race,
With the conclusion reached in
these several decisions we see no
reason to differ. Moreover, that

turb it, in the absence Of reasons
far more cogent than any that
have been suggested.
''The effect Of the conclusion
that the words white person
a Caucasian is not to establish a
sharp line Of demarcation between
those who are entitled and those
who are not entitled to natural
ization, but rather a zone Of more
or less detabable ground, outside
of which, upon the one hand, are
those clearly eligible, and out
side of which, upon the other
hand, are those clearly ineligible
for citizenship. Individual cases
