Fain would I be of service-say something
Between the tears that would be comforting.
But ah! SO sadder than yourselves am 1,

SCANDAL OF POLITICS.

To be sure, the public does not make its diet wholly
of unwholesome things. 1t has morbid taste for
evil tinss The facts of political and quasi political!
corruption bitter medicine swallowed with
srimace. Yet before in the history of the coun

dose is necessary.
In the careful gathering. sitting and presentation of
the facts of political and official treason and betrayal
lies the greatest service of the press American
people y learned Bishop observed that the fol-

PRACTICAL EFFECTS or CONVICTION

In the laws eye bribe-gvers and bribe-takers are
equally guilty. From the standpoint of morals the
brtetaker would seem the guter because he VIC
ates oath and betrays trust For the purposes of
justice and the protection of the public however it
fully as important to punish the giver punish the
takcr
When men cease to offer brides there can be no
corruption of officials The dishonesty of public Off
GERS cannot affect the people if the opportunity to
profit is removed. Willingness to accept brides will
avail nothing if men fear give bribes SO long
men offer brides weak dishonest men. however Sc
we're the penalty for crime will be tempted
Doubtless there are few men in ST. Louis to-day
Who if opportunity arose would brave the risks of law
to line their pockets with DOODLE But it is safe say
that no man in the city would dare to offer bride
1t is upon the bribe-Svcr chiefly that the Doodle prose
BUTTONS have impressed their lesson. and in this fact
consists the greater value the prosecutions the
community. because the bribe-gver comes out of a
larger class than does the corrupt official the warning
applies to broader circle of possible offenders And
because reform in this class means the greater pro-
lection to the people it is regrettabe that
of the bride givers the bigger fish, have been caught
and convicted.
Obviously it is difficult TO trace the crime Of
the bride gver than that of the aker since the former
may pursue devious means and conceal himself behind
one more agents, while the latter himself must re-
ceive the bribe. the money being traced to his own
hands, and the disparity in the proportion of convic
tons is further accounted for by the fact that for
gver there may be nineteen takers
