GOVERNOR O’NEAL. OOOP.
While we regret very much that Editor Frank Glass is
not to be numbered with the solons of the senate, wo can
not express surprise and we regret more deeply still that
Governor O’Neal, of Alabama, should have stubbornly per
sisted in his experiments with the senate when the result
Is to diminish the Democratic representation in the upper
house.
The seat of Senator Johnson, who died, must remain
vacant. Time has been wasted in a very foolish way and
Indications were very clear that Governor O'Neal's per
sistence In appointing senators would end In leaving the
seat unoccupied. When Governor O’Neal’s first appoint
ment was seriously questioned, tho hint should have been
tufficient, but the governor thought he knew tho law a
Tittle better than anyone else and fell in love with his no
tion of it.
Had he been ns much interested in the effective opera
tion of the Democratic administration as he was with his
own opinion the small majority which the Democrats have
in the senato would have been larger.
We fear we shall have to list Governor O’Neal among
the Ooops. This is a case In which a very big and cx
pensive candle hns been burnt for a very miserable and
foolish little game.
THE NOBILITY.
It takes a ffrefit mftny people to mnkc up the world,
bnt the world would be made up much better If more of
the people in it could realize what a sense of obligation
means.
Most of us go through life scrambling after one thing
or another and setting aside one thing for another Money,
which brings prestige, flattery ana obeisance from our
fallow beings, which gives us creature comforts and re
lieves life of its obnoxious and ignominious details, is
the one thing that the greatest number of people are driv
ing for, but, money does not bring all the luxuries of life.
There are some people so curiously constituted that
they must indulge themselves in certain luxuries, un
known and undreamed by those of the more material and
practical type.
They are the people who set aside solfish gains for
things they like better, who take more comfort in being
able to stand before their own self-imposed standards of
noble living without feeling small, than they could ever
get from the glitter of many diamonds, the feasting on
fine foods, the wearing of costly, comfortable and beauti
ful clothes and all the other higher and more wonderful
privileges of wealth.
These are the people who make life worth living for
all the rest of us, who bring to it something which wealth
and work alone can never give and wealth and work alone
can never get. They are the only true civilizers in the
whole social body. They realize the obligation which mem
bership in the great human family brings and they make
life richer, more sweet and more uplifting for everyone
who comes in contact with them and to whom their fine
and gentle influences reach.
If there is a class to which we can npply the name of
“the nobility,” it is this class of quiet civilizers; persons
whose lives are often spent in remote and inconspicuous
places, but from whom the light of idealism and high
principles radiates with far-reaching reflections.
Society rarely pays its debt to them in pecuniary
form. They are the servants in the House of Life, but
they get their reward, for to them is given that rare in
visible “something” which they most need and which their
lives are spent in acquiring To them is given, also, the
wealth of genuine affection and tributes of deep apprecia
tion from all who touch upon their sphere. Thank God
for the civilizers and ask Him for more of them!

BLEfISE HATES
THE NEGROES
Governor of South Carolina
Openly Boasts Opinion ‘‘on
Order of Lower Animals."
Columbia, 8. C.—Why Oovernor
Colo L. Hloano grunted pardon*, pa
rolog and 'commutation* of *ontonco
to hundrod* of convict* last year la
*et forth In a tnesHtige tran*mlttod to
the Icßlalature yesterday. It 1* a
•printed book of 333 page*. Since as
suming office, three years ago, Gov
ernor Hlease has extended clemency
In 382 case*.
The striking feature of the report
Is the hold manner In Fhlch he ex-
I reused his opinion of negroes, as bo
Ing ‘‘on the order of lower animal*."
“The negro race,” he asserts, "has
absolutely no standard of morality.
They are, in that respect, a class by
themselves, as marital infidelity
seems to be their most fa'forlte pas
time. If every negro in this state
that is guilty of bigamy or marital
Infidelity Is brought up and convict
ed, labor will he much scarcer than
It Is any many acres that are now
cultivated will be Idle.”
Commends Negro Whippers.
In reporting that he hail granted
“with much pleasure” full pardons to
three white men convicted of assault
and battery on two negroes. Govern
or Hlpmso stated that the blacks had
been engaging In dirty nnd slander
ous talk "and a party of white men
took these two negroes Lo the woods
and gave them what they deserved —
a genuine, Mrst-class whipping”
These "white gentlemen,” the gov
ernor says, “did exactly right.”
In' telling of the parole granted to
Sam Gaskins, a negro convicted of
manslaughter. Governor Rlease says:
"This negro, being engaged to n ne
gro girl, called to see her, and In
fooling with a pistol It went off and
killed her It seems to have heen a
very sad accident; however, after a
second thought, possibly, It was for
the good of humanity, for had they
married no doubt they would have
brought forth more negroes to the fu
ture detriment of the stnte.”
Likens Negro to Mule.
Commenting on his nation In com
muting the sentence of Stake Morris,
a negro murderer, from death to life
imprisonment, the governor says:
"This defendant whs convicted of
killing another negro lam naturally
against electrocuting or hanging one
negro for killing another, because, if
a man had two fine mules running
loose In a lot and one went mad and
kicked and killed the other, he cer
tainty would not take his gun and
shoot the other mule, but would take
that mule and work it: therefore, I
believe that when one negro kills
another he should be put In the pen
itentiary and made to work for the
state.”
Notwithstanding the contemptuous
attitude which he assumes toward ne
groes as a class Governor Bleitse in
the message expressed compassion
for Individual negroes who he says
have been ill treated In the peniten
tiary and frequently grievances a
reason for liberating black convicts
that they are "white men's negroes."
Cites Prison Croslty.
In lell'ng of a parole granted to
Simeon Kills, a negro murderer. Gov
ernor Please submits letters to the
effect that the negro was cruelly tor
tured bv the penitentiary authorities
for speaking to the governor one day
without the guard's permission. Nu
merous other cases of alleged cruelty
'to prisoners are cited by Governor
lllease In excuse of his extension oT
clemency.
One reason given for the paroling
of J. Mien Emmerson. a murderer. Is
thai the convict's sister's health has
been broken by the grief caused by
his imprisonment.
Not infrequently the governor In
his report speaks scornfully or an
grily of the prosecutors of Ihe con
victs whom he has released
In granting clemency to Pud Wil
lis, a white man convicted on the evi
dence of private detectives of violat
ing the llquora laws. Governor Please
fiercely denounces private detectives.
