Bringing Up Father
By George McManus
Carolinan Declares Lynchers Only
Carry Out Laws Without Being
Halted by Technicality.
(ty International New* Service.)
BOSTON, Aug. M.—Coif Blease,
who a# Governor of South < arolina
pardoned hundreds of criminal*, eun-
uemned the third degree’ treatment
of Muenter, J. P. Morgana assailant,
and praised lynching parties in *
speech before the Governor* confer
ence here to-day
Ex-Governor Please said in part.
Within the past few week# we
read In the newspaper# of a man
who had an attempt upon the life
of another being plied with ques
tions until he was too freak to
talk, then being walked up and
down the corridors of hi* prison
to revive him, then plied with
questions again, and suejected to
God alone knows what else, In the
administration of the "third de
gree." - .
Later, this prisoner was found
on the floor of his cell with his
skull crushed In, and it was stated
that he he had climbed to the top
of his cell door and Jumped to the
floor, killing himself Whether he |
was murdered or whether he real- j
ly committed suicide I do not
know, but this I do know, that the
suicide of any man would hardly
be unnatural under such circum
stances. and that the treatment
accorded him, before conviction,
would have been a disgrace to our
civilization even had it occurred
after he had been tried and sen
tenced.
In the South, the lynching of a
man for the unmentionable crime
is a protection to our civilization,
while the practice of this "third
degree” violates the letter of our
constitution at Its most vital
point and is u blow to the whole
spirit of our Institution.
Mob Carries Out Law.
In the South an aroused mob is
• n outraged community which
carries out the law, but brushes
aside with mighty force the law s
technicalities and delays.
There Is no hypocritical, sancti
monious violation of fundamental
rights under the cloak of law by
those sworn to uphold the law;
the deed la open, and civilization
and Justice are vindicated.
And when mobs are no longer
possible, liberty will be dead
After an experience of four
years as Governor of South Caro-
ilna during which time I have ex-
errised clemency In more cases!
than any other three or four Gov
ernors combined. I believe more
firmly to-day than ever before In
the parole system as the most ad
vanced step that has < ver been
taken In prison reform.
As proof of the correctness of
this opinion, I may state to you
that since I retired from the of
fice of Governor, of all the large
number of those whom I paroled
not a one has been returned to
Imprisonment.
I believe in freah air and whole
some food for prisoners and In
comfortable, well-v e n ti 1 a t e d
rooms.
I believe they should have good
literature and good newspapers,
especially their home-county pa
pers
I believe they should have the
right kind of amusements, that
the social Instinct so necessary
In the plan of their salvation may
not be deadened within them.
I believe that the whipping of
prisoners should be forbidden,
except In cases of wilful disobe
dience of rules or acts of insubor
dination.
The militia of Massachusetts pa
raded to-day through the streets of
Boston for review by the Governor
Mnd others attending the Governors’
conference. About 7,000 were In line,
including every unit of the State's
troops Governor Walsh rode at the
head of the parade by virtue of his
office as commander in chief.
Tribute to Governors.
The military demonstration was a
tribute in honor of the Governors'
conference to show the preparedness
of the Bay State militia. Elaborate
decorations marked the route of the
parade.
With the mlltary demonstration as
the crowning event, the Governors
and their ladies enjoyed another day
of Massachusetts hospitality, as well
as the benefits derived from the stat
ed sessions of the conference itself
in the State house
The session began at 10 o'clock,
with Governor Spaulding, of New
Hampshire, presiding
"Abolition of capital punishment”
was the principal tonic of discussion
with both Governor Hunt, of Arizona,
and Governor Dunne, of Illinois, par
ticipating.
The ladies of the conference en
joyed a trip through the historical
section of Boston after the session.
When the parade was concluded the
Governors and ladles were the guests
of the city of Boston.
The Governors ani their wives
leave thia evening by automobile for
N’orumbega Park, and thence for a
sail in launches to Waltham to re
view the river carnival on the Charles
River.

2MoreAnteUp
in Municipal
Jackpot
Twenty-seven aspirant# for the
municipal jackpot were In tho game
Thursday, two more players having
looked over their cards, calculated
their chances In the draw and shoved
In their ante of $75 each, a rather
costly entrance fee for a total pot of
$300 per annum salary. The new
comers were Thomas I. Lynch, who
desires to defeat Edward T. Mincey
for the Sixth Ward Council place,
and Carl Dolvln, who cherishes siml-
'nr designs against A. T. Peacock
In the Tenth Ward.
That running for office will be an
expensive luxury was developed when
the subcommittee in charge of the
primary met and decided to charge
would-be Aldermen $100 each and
prospective Councilmen $75 per.
Candidates for general manager of
the waterworks were assessed $200,
but as Zode Smith expects to have
the field to himself he voiced no
protest.
Second primaries, or "run offs." are
not likely this year, a# the committee
is expected to make a plurality rule
for the ward races, the man topping
the list getting the nomination The
primary date Is September 30.

Three Teams Tied for Lead in
Y. M. C. A. Volley Ball League
of the teams will be published in The
Georgian, and everything will be in
readiness for the opening games
Wednesday.
The standing of the teams Is as
follows:
W. L. Pc.
Atkinson 5 2 .715
Buckle 5 2 .715
Morrison 5 2 .715
Smith 4 3 .570
Ball 3 4 .428
Waters 4 3 .428
Hill 2 5 .286
Boykin 1 6 .113
A LTHOUGH It had been counted a
possibility, few thought that the
teams captained by Morrison
and Atkinson would win last night In
the volley ball league at the Young
Men's Christian Association. Yet
such a thing happened, and as a result
there are three teams tied for first
honor, and no more games on the
.schedule for the first series.
The interest of the spectators cen
tered In the Morrison-Buckle contest,
for upon the result of this game de
pended the championship, providing
Buckle's men won. Both teams lined
up six strong, with Morrison's side
serving. Six points had been rolled
up by Morrison's team before Buckle's
aqbad even secured the server.
A T the end of the first half the
score was 19 and 5, with Mor
rison holding the big end. In the
second half the winners secured the
tame number of points, making their
score 38. Buckle # team added 8 more
to their score, making u total of 13.
Buckle's men played good individual
ball, while Morrison’s squad showed
the better team work.
Time after tiipe the ball was lifted
out of the center net and assisted
over by a team mate. This team play
more than anything else was respon
sible for the victory.
For Morrison. McMillan played the
stellar game. Throughout the whole
series he has played a clean steady
game. He deserves honorable men
tion. Leland Bass also played a great
game. .Morrison’s team Is composed
of the following players, M. V. McMil
lan, J. Levy. Leland Bass, J. R. Wal-
raven and H. Broadstein.
I N the Atklnson-Hlll contest, the
former won by the score of 32 to
13. A. W. Malone had a serving
streak which gave his team 9 points.
By winding this game. Atkinson is
placed in the same class with Morri
son and Buckle.
Captain Waters was again absent
from play, being out of the city, but
he had a representative team to line
up against Boykin’s players. Just lo
show' what they could do, Boykin and
his men went after the game from tho
start, and by superior play and team
work came out holding up the big end
of a 27 to 19 score.
D ALL and Smith began play with
both teams boasting of a 500
per cent standing. Each wanted a
place In the first division, and no
one knew which team would have It
until the whistle sounded ending the
game. The score see-sawed back and
forth throughout the whole game.
Smith now* holds last place In the
first division, having pushed Ball out
with a 29-26 score. For the winners,
Hubert played tjie good game, with
Swiregood and Mayo coming in for
mention. For Ball's squad. Turner
played splendid ball, and Captain Ball
again distinguished himself by plav-
ing a perfect game. His play Is al
ways characterized by clear-cut, con
sistent returns and volleys.
A I-L the captains were not present
** at the meeting held previous to
play, and a second meeting is to be
called Monday afternoon at 4:46. At
this time the teams will have new
players added. Those wishing to se
cure a berth for the second series will
have until that time to sign up. Bring
or phone your name into the physical
department office. Tuesday the list
