they were elected by the people to be
the makers Of laws for them. Most
Of them yer Republicans, and the
majority Of those who gave them the
bribes were Democrats, but that is Of
no consequence now-they were all
public plunderers. On one occasion
a new member OF the combine was in
the meeting when they passed around
$500 each bride money. The new
member asked II they were not afraid
they would get in trouble. They all
laughed heartily and reminded him of
their political power; how each Of the
nineteen controlled his own ward, and
told him he was perfectly safe, as It
had been going on for years, and
they and those who put up the brides
we're strong enough politically to an
initiate anyone who would insinuate
wrong-doing against them. Now,
nineteen of these givers and takers
of brides have faced juries, and have
received from two to sever years in
the p%enitentiary; others have turned
states evidence. Bribery could hardly
have been more extensive than 1t was
in St. Louis under Republican rule.
The Democratic party has exposed it.
In the state. a faithless Democratic
Lieutenant Governor took brides and
distributed bride money amongst sen.
ators. Laws have been sold for years,
if the confessions of senators be cor.
rect. Legislators have had thousand
dollar bills more in mind than they
have had the public interests. Corrup-
ton eve stalked up to a former Gov
ernor of the state and attempted to
have him make a state appointment
for money. While, of course, the ma
jority of Senators and Representatives
have been honest, yet 1t is clear that
legislative proceedings have been
h~oneycombed with bribery. 1t seemed

the Missouri Democracy for a boodler,
Corruption IS an issue confronting the
Democracy that overshadows all other
issues, for whenever corruption rears
its hideous head in any state. there
is presented an issue before which
all other issues are insignificant
Seriousness Of Crime Of Bribery.
Other problems concern the funS'
tions of government, while the sub
ject OF the eradication of bribery goes
to the very existence Of government
itself. Under our form of government
all authority is vested in the people
and by them delegated to those who
represent the people in official ca
pacity.
If there be an offense greater than
all others it is that of him in whom
such a sacred trust has been reposed,
who sells it for his own gain and en-
richment. Other onenses violate the
law, while bribery strikes at the
foundation Of all law. Bribery is more
fatal to civic life than any other
crime. 1t aims at the. assassination
Of the commonwealth itself. 1t makes
the passage Of laws mere matters Of
bargain and sale, thwarts justice, en-
thrones iniquity and makes lawful
government impossible. If all official
acts were for sale. we would have
a government not Of, and for, and by
the people, but a government of, and
for the few with wealth enough to
purchase official favors.
In constructing this government Of
which our great state is a part, our
forefathers exercised a wisdom unsur-
passed in the annals of mankind. They
furnished a republic guaranteeing
rights to the citizens never obtained
by any other people. The safety OF
the republic has been menaced, but
wise men have steered the ship Of

state into safe harbors. Enemies
threaten today, not from without, but
from within.
The givers and takers of brides are
the greatest enemies we have to deal
with today. Benedict Arnold attempt
ed to sell his country for gold; he was
a traitor of war, The official who
sells his vote is a traitor of peace,
more dangerous than traitors of war.
The Malian guide who betrayed the
Greeks at Thermopylae did not by that
act destroy his country, but a few hun
dred years later the gold of Philip
Of Macedon did the work the
treason Of war had failed to do.
Greece fell because corruption
had weakened her national life.
Rome attained a pinnacle of
greatness and was undermined by the
same insidious corruption that threat.
n US. Jugurtha, after he had cor
rupted the senate and bought the
palace Of Rome, declared that he
could buy the entire city If he only
had money enough.
Since the beginning of history, gov.
ernments Of all kinds have lived and
died. Republics as great as ours have
existed and gone down into oblivion
through the spirit of corruption. Where
wars, p~estilences and all other ca
lamities combined have destroyed one
government, corruption has under
mined a score. Yet some say thai
bedding cannot be an issue, that We
ought not to get alarmed over a few
cases Of bribery. When ones house

TO be nothing unusual for a legislator
to prostitute his official powers for
gain. The developments are but the
indication of a diseased condition of
the legislative service, Instead of pub
lie Office being a public trust, to
many it was a private snap. They have
outraged every sense of honor and
decency, and have in%solently Haunted
their corruption in the faces of the
people.
Duty Of Democracy.
While other cities no doubt have
been as corrupt as st. Louis, and the
officials of other states as venal as
some Of those in Missouri, it is true
that at no time or place has so much
official corruption been laid bare as
here. Those who believe in free gov
eminent are looking to Missouri to
see it indicated by a righteous
citizenship. There is in Missouri a
responsibility for the suppression of
these evils that the Democratic party
cannot escape, On the Democratic
party the duty rests primarily Of cor
recting this ~disgraceful and shameful
state Of affairs, because 1t is the party
in power. The Democracy, If true to
its high mission must be the party Of
good government and civic righteous
ness. The Democratic party stands for
the greatest good to the greatest mum
Der. It does not matter that corrup-
ton exists In Republican states; let
them attend to their own h~ouse-clean'
ing, while we drive the public plum

there are corrupt men IN the Republic
