BUYING AND SHILLING VOTES.


 That Massachusetts decision winch holds that 1t Is criminal to buy vote but is not criminal to sell one, is caus- ing much comment in that State. It seems that the Legislature passed law on the subject, but the words of the law said nothing about the sale of votes. When a case came up in court the States attorney argued that the Legis- lature evidently intended to include both buyers and sellers of votes. and that even if that was not good law. the selling of vote was against public morals and decency," and. therefore. was pun.sh- able under the common law of the State. The courts held, however. that the statute superseded the common law. and as that statute does not specifically make 1t a crime for a man to sell his vote, there is no law to punish him for 1t.
 One thing people like about President Roosevelt, and that is his backbone" l" says the esteemed Buffalo Evening News. There are people who admire a donkey for his stubbornness.

That may be, and doubtless is. a prop CT construction of the law, but if 1t Is we agree with The Springfield Union that "it would be a profitable task for the Legislature to enact legislation making vote-selling a crime. and attaching a se- vere penalty to it," Certainly there can be no; purchasers without sellers. and while the former may do more to cor- rupt the franchise than the latter does, It looks like injustice and partiality to punish one and not the other. The buyer and the seller are equally guilty, it seems to us, and both should be punished
