REAL OR, STAGE VILLIAN?
The Governor and the Spartan
burtf Journal Exchange
Compliments
Governor Coleman Livings!01
Blease and Editor Charles II lien
ry. ot' tho Spartanburg Journal,
have exchanged seine greetings
Ou ring inc past week which, ir,an
their tone, appear anything but
friendly. In inet, the governor
seems to dare tho editor tc como
to his face and say some of the
mean things he is charged with
having pi intcd. And the trouble
seems to have started over the
word "villain," hoard sometimes
00 the stage and sometimes in real
lifo.
The Journal of same days ago
contained tho following editorial
paragraph:
"There is line material in South
Carolina polities just now for u
comic ojicra with Colo Blease as
the vi I lian."
Whereupon Governor Blease
wrote Editor Henry thc following
letter:
"State of South Carolina,
"Executive Chamber,
"Columbia, October 10, 1911.
**To thc Editor of tho Journal:
**A friend of minc has forwar
ded me your paper of tho 9th, in
which you speak of me as a "vil
lian."
"I spent part of three days in
your city last week. Why did you
not come to my face and tell me
this, instead of your cowardly ac
tion of printing it in you - papoi I
"I will bo in your city li' aili ; I
your county fair, stopping ul
Argyle h?tel. If yon desire
make Ibis statement be man enough
to make ii, lo my face, and not be
uslun t ' i.*) Coward and strike
mo in thc 1 aok. ^ ole IJ. Blouse.
Using the letter and tho above
(ploted paragraph, tho Jon nial
contai: ' lie following ?ditorial at
tide, headed., ^Governor Blease'
as a Kool br a Sttigb Vi j lian:"
"( )i course, Ntl* li I ease may lalee
t'nis as Ito likes, but there are prob
ably fe.W readers bf the Journal
dull-wilted enough to think a sug
gestion of the governor's li tn ess to
play tho part of a villian in acorn
ic opera dramatization of tho pres
ent political situation in Sooth
Carolina is 'speaking of him as a
villian.'
There aro, perhaps, people who
think Mr Blease a villian, or worse,
but we have seen no newspaper
that has ?tated its opinion of him
to this effect. Certainly thc Jour
nal has not done so.
"We shall have to ask his ex
cellent Excellency to accept our
regrets to his invitation to mcec
him at the Argyle hotel, in this
city or elsewhere. Wc would not
intrude our unappreciative pres
ence or attempt to interrupt for a
moment the continuous perfor
mance he gives whether he goes ol
his favorite burlesque, which
might bo entitled, "Governing a
(?rent State,' but which he renders
with a seriousness and an impor
tance that produces an unconscious
sal li e.
"Wo are little concerned about
Mr Blease or his acts or his talk,
but when a mau as ridiculous, a>
comic:-.!, us grolcsipic, as comical,
as grotesque, as droll, as absurdly
vain as he is, gets into thc limo
light, he is sure to furnish bet lei
material for newspaper pai agraphs
than for serious denunciation,
mindi as lio would prefer tho hit
ter st,\ le of treatment.."
Ann tho Journal docs not lot up
with this aloin ; it asked the gov
ernor why he pardoned two men
w ho were convicted i i Spartan
burg"'comity for false representa
lions in tho peddling of eyeglasses.
