FRIDAY, JANUARY 15. 1915.
The cotton market in Union, Thursday,
January 1 1, was 7 3-4 cents.
"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

is to be transacted.
