Boodling and the Minor Offenses

The nineteen ST. Louis aldermen,
prosecuted and convicted by Joseph
Folk, are all at, large, altho some OF
them were convicted more than two
years ago. Ed Butler, the boss
boodler Of st. Louis, made famous by
Lincoln Steffens, was released by the
supreme court, and ten Kansas City,
Kan, officials, indicted : by the grand
jury. for boodling, have been given
their liberty without trial on a mere
technically. - - IS rrsazr a.
These facts lead the Kansas City
Journal to the conclusion that there
Is one crime for which there seems
to be no punishment in Missouri or
Kansas. The slugger, the highway
man, the forger, the pickpocket, the
petty thief-all these may be brought
to justice, but for the public official
who betrays his trust there seems to
be no penalty.
We have been more fortunate here
in Minneapolis than in the towns
along the Missouri. We have sent
some of our boodlers to Saltwater,
| and seem to be disposed to keep them
there. Some, it is true, have escaped
and some are yet likely to go there.

Nationalizing Corporations.

Judge Grosscup continues to preach
naturalization Of corporations. His
advice runs counter to the bias Of a
large part Of our people, who are very
Jealous Of any increase in the power
of the federal government.
But times have changed. What was
once tnimical to liberty is no longer
90. To leave Interstate corporations
under the control Of forty-five differ
ent states Is merely to cause such con-
fusion that no effective control really
results. The old feeling in favor Of
home rule operates In the case of cor
-porations to the injury instead Of the
benefit of the people. When the re-
public was formed, the interests of
the people of each state were largely
bounded by the frontiers Of that state.
To-day the interests Of most of our
people extend over many states, and,
in fact, the whole country. o..
So far as industry, commerce and
transportation are concerned, state
lines are now Of little more conse-
quence than county lines. Yet we
continue to try to deal with national
organizations and national problems
with the legal machinery of individ-
ual states. The existence Of thou
sands Of corporations that cover the
whole country, calls for q nationa
corporation code. 1t is bound tt
come, and not until it does come will
the nation get to the seat of the evil.

The friends of the republican candidates

talk to supporters Of R. C. Dunn, who are
anxious, to create a diversion and divide
the vote that is sure to go to Collins on a
straight issue. BY forcing a three-cornered
fight they hope to slip in, but the indie
pendent talk has not met with much en-

The Dunn headquarters are crowded Of

Collins supporters said yesterday:
