St. Louis is all torn up over re
cent revelations in the bribery Of
members of a city council and
house of delegates by a street car
corporation which wanted to secure
greater franchise privileges. The
grand jury is investigating the
matter and has already returned a
number of indictments. both
against the givers and the takers of
the bribe money. This is very
we'll, 80 far as it goes, and all hon
est citizens hope to see the guilty
ones punished, but why should
the laws strong arm be in vokcd
against official corruption in the
city of St. Louis and similar Of
fences in our state government &C
unrebuked. 1t has been shown by
the revelations in the Cardwcl
suit that the leaders of the Demo
cratic party in Missouri have beer
in the habit of accepting thousands
of dollars from corporations in re
turn for favors from the state leg
isluturc. Of course these contrl
buttons are held to ke donations
to the party's campaign fund, bal
they seem to have been just as q
fective in the object sought rs :
piain bribe could have been.
