Illoy will stand above him with the taunt : You aiv heaten ? <'I*iIkIuhI and I did It. % iin?Ki? iiH'ii have allowed their hatred of Cole Blease, tho man, to blind them l?? tlii' great fa?i 111 llii,- present crisis. It docs not matter mm h whether Blease docs or <!<k's n<it go to th<? senate. If elected, he cannot do South Carolina more harm than in- has al ready done, lie can and will humili ate and shame us in the <>yes of the world, hut he has already done that. It is not Conceivable that he can pass any lnh|uiloUK legislation, for he will lie absolutely without influence in the senate. Neither can lie make many hurtful appointments, for he Ik an enemy of the President and will get nothing at the chief executive's hands. It is of course true that Smith is doiiiK good work fol the farmers of this state, and it is true that Blease cannot, under the circumstances, con tinue that good work. In that particu lar the state would suffer loss. Hut Blease, as senator, could not make your pro|>erty^ worth less, your lives less safe than they are todaj. In the senate he would he a negligible quantity. All reasoning, men know these things, and yet because they hate Blease, per sonally, many men are devQffog all their energies to the defeat of Blease, forgetting, in their passion, that the gubernatorial race is the only one that vitally concerns all the people ami all the interests of the state, The great question in this crisis is not: shall we defeat Blease for the senate? hut : shall we put a Blease man in ofllce as our highest state of ficial? What harm, yon ask, in electing a Blease man as governor? Must a man he evil merely because he is a Blease man? It is a hard question. Only fools divide the people of (ho world Into good people and bad people. What then, is a Biease man? Is he a gentleman? He may he. Thousands of avowed I Wen Re support ers are gentlemen in the common ac ceptance of the moaning of tliat word. Is lie a Christian? He may be. Thousands of IWea.se followers wor ship the true God. But whatever else he may he, he is a believer in IWease and the things Biease has done. By their fruits ye shall know them. What is a Democrat? One who be lieves. in state rights, in a tariff for revenue only, in a government of, by and for the people. What is a Christian? One who loves Jesus, the Christ, ladlcves in Him and follows His teachings. What is a Bleasite? One who re spects Biease, believes in Biease, and approves of the things Biease has done. Is that not true? It must be true. Consider, then, what Biease is and has done. He has liberated from the peniten tiary over twelve hundred criminals, white and black. These criminals were tried by juries composed of 14,400 South Carolina citizens. The juries convicted because the evidence showed the men guilty. Biease appointed 011 his staff a men who conducts gnmbling dives and sa loons in open violation of South Caro lina law. Biease opposes" compulsory educa tion. Biease has promised pardons in ad vance to men who murder nnder cer tain circumstances. That is enough. No need to consider the details. Now a true IWeasite must and does approve of those things. A true Biease- 1 ite, approving of those things, would, if placed in power, follow the example ! of his chief. If therefore, a Biease man is elected as governor of South Carolina, we may expect a continuation of present con ditions. We may expect that crime will go unpunished ; that law violation will be fostered and encouraged : that the children of poor people will be al lowed to grow up in ignorance, with out a decent lighting chance in this hard world ; and that life and property >wIU continue to be unsafe. That is logical and sincere reiison ing. It is not overdrawn. It is not writ ten in bitterness. It is a simple state ment of -fact*. Can any sane man doubt that the great problem before us today 1^ the election of a good man as governor, rather than the elimination of Biease, the man? And now I want to say a word to those Tribune readers who are avowed Bleasites. I beg of you, ..consider the matter calmly And courageously an you would consider any other question that in ? -s ..

Tin* Observer had always QiiilemtiKMl that the inventor of tin* Mergenthaler type-setting machine had been chiseled ? nit of his reward hy a heiutless com pany. and that ho died in a poor house, Villi -Mi'- Fred J. WjAThurtou eoines to the front with some facts which are eulculatcd to shatter this tradition. Ottninr Mergenthaler was a mechanic working at $.'1.50 a day .when he was engaged hy a party of Washington re porters to work on a type-setting ma chine which had l iew i invented hy Charles. II. Moore, lie worked on it for two years h.ut although he lmprov ed it. the machine was not made a com mercial success. He used the money he got in securing an education in the printing art and hy which he was afterward enabled to jierfect the Mer genthaler machine. Mr. Mergenthaler, instead of helng replied, died a rich man. He had received liberal royal ties and from these his family has been receiving an income of $50,000 a year. The Observer Is glad to. have this knowledge. Mergenthaler, through his inventive genius, revolutionized the printing business, and the fact'that ho was enriched, and not impoverished through it makes the music of the lino type machine sound the pleasanter ev ery time one conifs within ear shot of It. ?
