"WEIGHED; FOUND WANTING." It would be an easy matter to denounce in lurid language the record of Governor Blease. One is sorely tempt ed to do so. but yielding to the impulse, places one in the same category with the Governor himself?that of bitter partianship. The rhief objec tion vo the record of the retiring chief executive is that he has conducted the affairs of his oflice in the interest of his friends and to spite his enemies. He has shown no hroadminded states manship. "I stand by my friends,'' sounds good to the man in need of such friendship, but falls with poor grace from the lins of an executor of the law. Interpreted, it means "I don't care what the law says, I'm going to do as I please. When it suits me I will see that the law is enforced, when it does not suit me, I will trample upon the law." To act in this fashion, particularly when he was sworn to administer according to the law, the affairs of the State, puts Governor Blease in the catalogue 01 tyrants. Indeed, his tyranical c*.r? duct has been largely responsible for his undoing, and will, in the future, close the gates in the pathway of his ambition. It will be the one thln^ that will for all time keep hj/n from "coming back." Politically, he is as "dead as a door nail.'' Recently, one of the governor's admirers was heard to say: "Anyway, Coley has been governor," which is true. He has heen governor, judge and jury. He has usurped about all of the judicial and as much of the legislative branches of the State government as possible. He has chosen to be the head of the executive branch. He usurped the authority he has exercised in the other two branches of overnment. Having sworn to reverence, to obey the law, he has obeyed the law of his own will, first, last and all the time, and boasted of his perfidy. Among the last acts of Governor Blease is that of ordering the State militia to disband. This wholesale, high handed proceeding would have been poor statesmanship at any time, but coining as it does, upon the heels of his having emptied the State prison, it is diabolical. Along with the freeing of hundreds of desperate criminals he would strike down tho last organized defense the citizenship has. The more the public thinks over this perversion of government, the more will the public reach the con elusion that Cole I,. Blease, governor, "has been weighed in the balance and has been found wanting." The most charitable construction that one can place unon the record of Governor Blouse is that he is men* tally unbalanced. There is a growing conviction in the public mind that this is so. The Times, upon the first and 5ov? ond election of Governor Blease, mildly expressed the opinion that he was not worthy to be governor of a great State. That conviction, now that his record is made, has again gone forth as our honest, humble judgment. Banquet Thursday Night. The "dollar dinner," given by th*. chamber of commerce Thursday light, January 14, is an annual event that comes with the annual membership meeting of the organization. All the members of the organization are urged to attend the meeting Thursday night, as business of great importance is to be transacted. '"apt. E. I-.
