REMEDIES FOR THE DOODLE DISEASE.

FOR II BOOll.k DlSE-ASE.
What is The best remedy for municipal corruption:
The final destruction Of boodling must come from 4
new standard Of public life in American cities.
A new public opinion is not necessary. Public opin-
ion. rs a conclusion ~ abstract thinking, is already a
unit on the evil Of bribery aud the deSirabihiy of hav-
ing civic business transacted with the honesty Of pri-
yate business. ~
Tolerance in practice is the wrong thing. Some OF
the very men who cry on the street corners for reform
ara 50 haccid in practice that they accept excuses Of
fered 10y criminals and assist indicted rascals TO escape
the penalties OF the law.
Some Of the daily and weekly newspapers which
shrek for righteousness when nothing is doing" be
gin 10 asSaiI grand juries and prosecuting officers when
honest efforts are being made to expose and punish
known corruptionists.
How long it will take any large American city TO
brace up its moral practice is a matter Of conjecture.
The Sociologist can prOgnosticate with certainty, II
communities call for scientific information about this
particular complaint. 10 the effect that there will he no
eradication until the stronger classes discipline them
selves to aid the law with their actual support. Their
talk IS poor stuff as long as they condone and sym
pathize and help the moment Il criminal IS in danger.
The most potent of factors known 10 the eiiology Of
Doodle is the tolerance OF the individual bOodler~b by
decent society-and the tolerance OF those who shield
him from consequences.
John Randolph called it the asses milk OF human
kindness" The phrase could not be improved for APP
plication 10 Doodle breeders.
But there is one weapon of the law which the
earnest and honest grand iuries and prosecuting Of
fcerS can use now and always with effect. 1t was
used by Mr.. Folk. Let 1t be understood that the bride
giyer or bribe-taker who repents and testifieS for The
State will always be protected.
Bribery in its various forms is hard to establish by
proof. 1t may flourish so luxuriantly that the smell is
loud on every street and yet preserve immunity. un-
less one OF the guilty parties to the crime will testify
II should be understood that the man who seeks to
make atonement by confession will have protection
from prosecution. If that understanding is reached
and becomes "A rule the most hardened scoundrel will
think twice before he puts his liberty in the hands o;
another man who ceases TO be a criminal in fact and
ceases 10 be under the threat Of the law only when
the transaction is exposed.
Every Circuit Attorney in the future Of st. Louis
should announce the rule and act upon it invariably
That course viii not remove the causes Of bribery
but Will reduce the area OF its operations.
