Defaure delivered his message, received
his answer, and tripped away, his little

KEEP ANTI.pAss PROMISE.

! Evening Wisconsin. milwaukee,
| The legislature Of Wisconsin
which is republican by large ma
jority, cannot escape dlscredit II 1t
ndiourns without enacting effective
anti.pass legislation. The platform
upon which all the members were
elected contained definite pledge
that the pass evil should be abolish
ed. The governors message read at
the converting Of the legislature last
January recommended that an ade.
duate constitutional amendment on
this subject be submitted 70 the peo-
people IN order that the prohibition
Of the use OF free passes by officials
should be "a part Of the permanent
law Of the state, beyond reach of leg
islntive modification or repeal The
governors message further recon-
mended that there be promptly en-
acted legislation covering the same
ground. to be in force until it shall
have been superseded by consti-
tutioual amendment Both the ex-
ecuiivc and the legislative branches
of the state government are too
deeply committed 10 the reform Of
the pass evil to evade the duty which
they have undertaken and escape
the condemnation Of honest men.
This being the case, 1t is to be
hoped that the republicans in both
branches Of the Legislature who have
shown a disposition to play horse
with the subject of anti-pass legisla-
ton will cease their folly and fulfill
their pledge. Any man guilty OF an
attempt at double-dealing on this
plainly defined issue will be marked
by the people as untrustworthy. and
will find that he can no more sue

ONE CURSE OF THE REPUBLICANS

One curse OF the republican party

which 1t has adopted platforms and
made laws only to be broken by n
class of practical politicians who af-
forwards condemned the policy in
volved and then called upon the
party press and the party workers To
stand up in defense of this sort Of
qualification. The party promised
not 90 release the bondsmen of the
eN-state treasurers whose cases were
pending in the courts. The party
deliberately violated that promise
and exposed itself to the righteous
attack Of : opponents. And yet the
party nj ragers responsible for that
violation looked to "A servile party
press TO defend them aud the party
as IA whole for this breach of prom
Use. When it gets to that pitch
whore republicanism Is gagged only
by the defense of those who violate
republican platforms and principles,
repubicanism has decended to the
level of mere obedience 10 party
bosses. The so.called party bosses
would, to-day, like to see the anti
pass movement in the legislature
buried out of sight, and they would
gladly call upon the party press
everywhere to defend such a dispo-
sition OF the question.
