The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-11-28

Since the election of Albert e. Mead
and republican legislature gambling
has suddenly been resumed in nearly
every large town of the state. Colfax
seems to be about the only large town
where the law making gambling a
felony is enforced. In that town a few
days ago gambler was convicted un-
der the law and is now awaiting his
sentence to the penitentiary. Accord
ing to the Spokesman Review, gamb-
ling is wide open in Spokane and the
same is true of Tacoma. In Seattle,
however, Mayor Ballinger and Chief
of Police Delaney are keeping the
gamblers on the run. The sweeping
republican victory and the resumption
of gambling may be merely a coincid-
ence, but it certainly looks suspicious.

CHICAGO'S FOREMOST PHILAN

ever Sits it's way to the front
And that reminds us that the most

America lives right here in Chicago.

Thomas Lawson's latest sensation is
that the, three greatest life insurance
companies of the country with their
billions of assets are under the control
of Rockefeller, Morgan and Rogers,
and that the funds are being used in
Wall street speculation to the great
risk of policyholders. If this state
ment be true, there is danger at any
time of the gravest calamity that has
ever befallen the business interests of
the nation being precipitated.

THEIR DAY OF GRACE. HAS
PASSED.

Samuel H. Piles and John L. Wilson
have suddenly discovered that they are
strongly in favor of an appointive,
regulative railway commission. At the
last May Piles, at the command of
Boss Farrell. threw the lis votes of
King county against McBride's COM
mission plank and it was kept out of
the platform. The next day John L.
Wilson's paper, the Seattle Intel-
ligencer, congratulated the republicans
of the state upon the RELOCATION of the
irrelevant question OF a railway COM
mission to the woodpile."
What has caused this wonderful
change in the views of Piles and Will
son? The answer is plain. 1t is the
fact that the republicans east of the
Cascades elected 46 members Of the
legislature and the King county SEN
atorial' candidates are playing for the
votes of these men. Before the cleo
ton it was generally believed that the
democrats would elect a majority OF
the legislators from the east side.
Piles had a chance at the state con-
vention to trade for 80 republican
votes from this side but he had to
turn it down at the behest of Farrell
who did not believe the votes could be
delivered. Now Piles sees his mis-
take, but he will find that his CONVEX
sion to the commission cause has come
too late. He will not get half a dozen
votes from eastern Washington. and
it is doubtful whether he can muster
a dozen outside of King county. To
control the republican caucus of about
1870 members he. will need at least sc
votes. He will have Is from King
county and with dozen from the
outside he will reach 81, and he may
be able to force his vote up to 40
Piles election now seems an impossi-
bility. King county's only hope is to

bidder against Millionaire Sweeney

APPALLING CORRUPTION
81 f,s.. CHARGED.

We have all heard great deal
about the corrupt lobby that for years
has debauched and disgraced the leg
islatures Of this state, but the worst
ever charged against our lawmakers
is mild indeed when compared with
what Thomas Lawson says in his ar
ticles on "Frenzied Finance" in Every
body's Magazine regarding the Massa-
chusetts legislature: He declares in
big. bold. black type:
Il do not hesitate to say that the
Massachusetts legislature is bought
and sold as are sausages and fish at
the markets and wharves; that the
largest, wealthiest and most prominent
corporations of New England, whose
affairs are conducted by our most rep
resentative citizens, habitually corrupt
the Massachusetts legislature, and the
man of wealth among them who would
enter protest o.. against the iniquity
would be looked upon as a class anar-
chist.' l will go further and say that
if in New England a man of the type
of Folk of Missouri can be found who
will give over six months to turning
up the legislative and Boston munich
pal sod of the past ten years, who
dition of rottenness more rotten than
was ever before exhibited in any COM
munity of the civilized world, it will
be because he has been suffOcated by
the stencil Of what he exhumes."
The awful truth seems to be-that the
government of nearly every state in
the Union is reeking with corruption
through the operation of the system
so thoroughly exposed by Lincoln Stef-
fens in a series of articles published in
McClure's.
The American people have made the
almost fatal mistake of intrusting their
government to the control of selfish,
scheming, dishonest politicians, who
"oeh oliy their personal enrichment
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, regardless of the
welfare of the municipality, the state
and the nation. Nothing but the gen
eral awakening of the people to the
duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship will extirpate the corrupting in
f1uences that now threaten the very
life of the republic. One long step to-
ward reform would be the general
adoption of primary election laws, do
ing away with caucuses and conven-
lions. Another good move would be
the general adoption of the initiative
and referendum by the several states.
But probably the most effective
means of uprooting such corruption
would be government control of the
great trusts and powerful corporations
such as the Standard Oil trust and the
transcontinental railroads, that now
maintain a lobby at the capital of the
nation and in nearly every state cap
Ital for the purpose of debauching con-
gressmen and legislators, as we'll as
other government officials. Until such
corrupting Hobbies are. abolished this
republic can no longer be govern
ment of the people, for the people and
by the people, but it will continue te
