FAIRNESS IN POLITICS

The legislative appOrtionment made
by the Wisconsin legislature at the seS-
sion last winter is brought into court as
a violation of law in many of its details.
( The requirements as to convenience and
compactness of the districts have been
ignored. AS portrayed in the state
papers, there are districts that could
only have been outlined by the famous
serpent that winds in and out, and the
population is double or more in some
than others. The Madison Democrat.
the central organ of the Democracy, is
not Sparing in its cenSure of the work.
1t says it is gerrymander that goes
, beyond the worst acts of the Repub-
Iicans. 1t is creditable to the MADISON
paper that it has the courage to de-
nOunce the wrong when perpetrated by
its own party. The legislature last
winter was carried by the Democrats
on tidal wave of reform, and it was in
keeping with the spirit of the situation
TO inaugurate a new departure in fair
ness and equity in the appOrtionment.
But the opportunity was not improved,
and the party is held responsible for the
perversion Of justice. 1t is not salts
factory to say that Republican prece-
dents were followed. The popular
sense may not usually be as acute
us it should be in this mat
ter; but it looks. from the statement of
the Democratic paper at that capital,
as il the extreme to which the unfair
ness was carried would recoii upon the
party. Ii the courts do not nulify the
entire app0rtiOnm2nt, it is doubtful
that it will work out as its architects
intended. This gerrymandering is in
defenSible at any time. 1t is an egregi-
Gus blunder for the Democrats to prac-
tice it, from the fact that they have so
often been its victims at the hands of
the Republicans. 1t is their policy to
set examples of fairness that will enable
them to hold up to popular odium the
course of the Republicans. With
equitable legislative apportiOnmentS
the Democrats would usually have
the senators from New York, Con
nectieut, and occasionally from New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and several
other states. The Republicans con-
denim themselves when they attack the
unfair diStricting Of Democrats. They
have the chief profit from the injustice.
Whether the Democrats have better
standards or not, it is for their interest
to wear the garb of higher honesty. 1t
is to be regretted that the districting in
all the states, as in a few, is not made
by nOn-partisan and unbiased body.
The temptation to partisans to make
party interest the chief consideration
seems too great to be resisted. Still. in
the long run it pays to be fair and de-
cent in politics.
