PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. IMPORTANT REFORMS s President Wilson has made several new departures in the conduct of his , II great office. One is his method of I delivering his messages to congress. I r Instead of writing out a message and ' sending it to congress to be read by | _ an official of that body, the President goes to congress with his manuscript message and talks to the assembled Senate and House of Representatives. Instead of mere formal reading of the message the President stands in the presence of congress and makes his statements and recommendations in person. Coming direct from the President with his personal magnetism, every word and every sentence | is listened to with eagerness and the I closest attention. It is a personal message to each member and not' merely a dry state paper. The other deviation from an old custom is that of referring congress to the reports of the various depart- i ments instead of incorporating them into his message. A President message filled up with long reports from the various officers of the government made very dull reading and was obj noxious to the newspapers that had to give up so much space to statistical matter from heads of departments? matter that was not generally read. The result of this is that the Presi1 dent's message is comparatively brief and is a summing up in limited space of all the important matters of legislation which congress is asked to cong sider. 5 These are just two instances of the E many new and important methods of attending to the nation's business by 1 a President who is guided by that I quality all to rare in statesmanship and politics, plain, practical common sense. SOME SUPREME COURT PROBABILITIES , The Democrats n^-t only carried the Presidency and the Senate, but they probably carried the Supreme Court. It is this way. During the next four years it is quite probable that | President Wilson will be called upon to appoint four justices of the Su1 preme Court. Three of the justices ' are now by age and length of service (entitled to retire on a pension and another, Justice Day, is 68 years old and in feeble health. So the Democratic victory, in the ? light of these results becomes still greater and more far reaching in its ~ results. -? Supreme Court justices do not often resign as Justice Hughes did, to his sorrow, but they occasionally die and there may be more than four vacancies for President Wilson to fill. SOME PARDONING GOVERNORS The Kentucky papers are getting alter Governor Stanley on account of his numerous pardons. Bob Taylor, when Governor of Tenessee, was noted for his numerous pardons. He had to defend himself on the stump when a candidate for re-lection, as to pardon record. Replying to a criticism of what was claimed by his enemies a flagrant miscarriage of justice, Gov. Taylor, who was an accomplished fiddler, told of a prisoner who made with a penknife a fiddle that he sent to the Governor with this message: "When on Christmas day you show this fiddle to your children and play for them on your own violin, think of the poor children in a little cabin in the mountains whose father cannot be with them on Christmas day." Governor Taylor's only defence of this pardon was, "Do you think I would refuse that man a pardon?" Kentucky had a famous pardoning Governor years before Stanley became Governor. Dr. Luke P. Blackburn was so free with the pardoning power that it was feared he would close the. penitentiary for lack of convicts. Numerous stories were told of ; the kind hearted Governor, one of 1 which was this: It was said that as the Governor woo 0/>?v ~ ?- * *' i.uiiiiiik out oi me state Capitol a man accidentally brushed against him. The gentleman said, "Pardon me, Governor." The reply was, "All right, just step into my office and I will write it out." We have heard it intimated that South Carolina has had in recent years a Governor who was as free with his pardoning pen as was old Governor Blackburn, but that is another story. The lower house of congress has ! passed the bill providing for fish cultural and fish hatching stations in several States. As to South Carolina the bill is somewhat indefinite. It reads, "Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina." We don't want to | tro to Georgia or North Carolina to ; do our fishing. 1 1 WIRELESS TO JAPAN ' I Now we can talk to Japan by w:re, lefts-?tfeat is, through an interpreter. | H'Kreess service betwen the United r StAitet and Japan has been inaugurat .^ aH President Wilson sent a mesi^Afto the Emperor of Japan, in tfci^Rdhe said: *^Bfty this wonderful event confirm f t^Hibroken friendship ef ouw tw$ ( t^^Bs and give assurance of ?\nev^^King interchange of message of ?>cace <S>r i i From aii Editorial Published in Tha In [\ |j S2!255S?|LESSED are the peacei !
