FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1914. ,
The Defeat of Blease.
t
The Times editor has never '
been one to show malicious ha- !
tred towards Cole L. Blease. (
The criticisms made against <
him and his administration <
have been respectful and in con- '
servative language. The opposition
expressed has been dignified
and orderly expression of
the judgment that he was unfit ;
to fill the high position of gover- ,
nor of the State. Now that he
is defeated we do not propose
exulting and boasting over the
fact. We have no desire to "rub
it jn" on the followers of Governor
Blease. It is satisfaction
enough for us that Governor
Blease has been defeated. Many
of his followers were honest in
their belief that he was "the
poor man's friend." We did not
endorse all the chief executive
did , nor all he said. We felt
that he was about the worst enemy
the poor man had, and so
expressed it; we thought he exercised
the pardoning power too
freely and altogether indiscriminately,
and so expressed th'e
thought. We felt and still feel
that ho \vn< nnfif ???:
uimt iV/J IMC JJUMtion
because he was too narrow
in his views. He was the governor
of his political followers
and the avowed enemy of all his
opponents. His attitude was
that of a tyrant, and not of a
chief executive, and he usurped
the functions of legislative
and judicial nature in the exercise
of his executive duties. He
has been intemperate in the discharge
of his executive duties.
? There is another reason for
the condemnation of Governor
Blease: He has done more to
array class against class than
any man who has held the office
of governor of the State. His
words, actions, and attitude
have incited lawlessness to action.
Under is ?dmini?tvoti??
the courts of the State have
gone to pieces. They were already
tottering, but it remained
for him to level them in the
dust.
We do not feel called upon to
say more upon the matter. It is
now a passed issue, and the machine
he has built up will go to
pieces line a oottle clashed upon
a rock.
There is just one phase of the
matter that we feel should be
weighed carefully: Behind
Blease there was a reason.
Blease, the man, was an accident;
Bleaseism, under some
other name, would have come
just the same?even though it
might have been delayed. The
reason is, we take it, in the injustice
and thoughtlessness too ?
often manifested by the well-to- di
do and prosperous towards the ^
man who is "down and out." x
t is too hard a battle the p< __
nan has to fight. He stands
>oor a chance in the courts.
>ays too much for what he g 1
,nd gets too little for what cm
loes in many cases. There \ I
lave to be an awakening of 4|l|
jrosperous people; then mi ;
ome into our courts "ev !
landed" justice. There must
nore of the golden rule in biL ;
less, industry and all comm< j
:ial activities. There must coi 1
o be more of the spirit of he
ulness; more thought for o j
irs; less selfishness; less gree J
ess oppression, if Bleaseism
o lie in its grave. It will coi i
lp in some other name, oth< J
vise; but it will be the sai 1
hing in essence. J j
1
Come to think of it, the bittern< J
0 often felt and yet not spoken, J
1 comforting thought now the bat J
s over. It is better so. After i J 1
he mountains of the present oft i
shrink into mole hills as the til i
i
foes on. j
The Times editor desires the go J '
vill of all his neighbors, whether 1
nay agree with them in politics j ^
lot. Here's hoping we may be a 1
;o agree to disagree in our politi ? ,
lifferences and get busy in our elT? J
,o build up a great and good co J
nunity. May rich fields abound a [ i
ilenty fill our land with fatness, i
We wish to express our apprec J t
:ion of the courteous treatment
:orded us by the public while we w<
ariving the returns Tuesday nigmn B
There was practically no boisterc *
conduct. There were very little Sip
>f drinking. The whole day of t
dection passed off in a remarkal
quiet manner.
