promise not to do SO.
The General Assembly IL the sole re-
posltOry OF legislative power, and IL in
tended to be the peculiar guardian Of
the rights Of the people. When the rep.
resentatlvcs do their duty they de-
serve full need OF recognition. When
they sacrifice the rights Of the people
they should be called sternly to ac-
count.
Bad as were these bills, the means
employed TO promote them were far
worse. Devious methods guided them
along their crooked course through the
Legislature. The most adrOlt, power
full and wealthy lobby ever seen In
Springfield urged them forward. All
this was u matter of public notOriety
when the bills Were pending. The
iiuctuating price for votes was rumored
from time to time through the places
where members and those Interested In
legislation We're wont to cOngregate.
No person there of ordinary intelll-
gence who kept his eyes and ears open
could fail to be aware that improper
influences We're being used.
-
The vicious practice of og-rolling
may probably be charged with some
Of the affirmative votes for these cor
rupt twin measures. This unjustifia-
BILE mode Of conducting legislation en-
ables bold, venal minority to domi-
nate the body Of which they are mem
bers ana procure the passage of the
most INSCRIPTIONS measures. The
time has come for the people to recOg.
nlZe and condemn such practices.
Those members who yield to threats
or Establishments of this sort are not
the kind Of legislative timber which Is
needed. They ought to be rebuked and
they ought not to be sent back to
Springfield.
Tainted and rotten to the core-these
bills must be repealed. Much mis-.
chief and permanent harm has already
resulted from their passage, but much
more lies In the future. We call upon
the friends of good government
throughout the State to put forth ev.
cry legitimate effort to nominate and
elect men pledged to vote for the repeal
Of these laws. They must be erased
from the statutes of Illinois. Let the
voters see TO 1t that legislative Judases
do not betray them. Put none but
honest men on guard.
