POLITE DEFINITION OF GRAFT.


POLITE DEFINITION OF GRAFT
Here is polite defrition of graft It is
the language of Judge Albert of the Oteo (Neb.)
county district conrt, who discussed the statute
forbidding contracts between county and
county officers
"The temptation of public officers to VICAR
ious generosity is we'll known, 1t assails them
with greater force when the object Of such gem
erosty is one of their own number, and sin
a position to reciprocate to further orathwart
the purpose of his fellows. The objectitof the
provision just quoted is to remove that tempta-
ton so far possible, and to render innocu-
Gus that spirit of an1ity and reciprocity which,
is apt to prevail among public officers"
Judge Albert is brother OF J. H. Albert
Clergyman of Faribault. The Republican of
that city says the New York Law Journal
after quoting the judges remarks added:
Lord Chesterfield himself could not have de-
fined graft more politely" There are alder
men, too, who SO far forget their oath of office
and their duty to the public that they plunge
into "vicarious generosity and assist their
fellows to obtain contracts.-Mankato Free

Gov Hoch, of Kansas, ably summed up the
results of Tuesdays election, when he said ON
Thursday:
There is thread running through all
of the elections of yesterday" said Gov, Hoch
to-day;
"The color may be different in Spots but
1T is the same thread It is the thread of
Rooseveltism; the thread of the square deal:
tue tllr.Ad of higher ideals and the thread of
anti mac line; not SO much account of the
machine Itself, 1T because, of what the ma
lchine represents. In the election of Jerome
and Weaver, the al. i-1nachine idea is accentu-
lated.
$50 far as party issues are concerned, the
election of yesterday has sigfcance. It
means nothing so far as the election of the
1next president is concerned"

At II o'clock Monday night the jury
in the case of Senator Mitchell at
Portland brought in verdict of guilty
as charged in the indictment and
recommended the defendant to the
mercy of the court. If a new trial is
not granted by Judge DeHaven, Sena-
tor Mitchell will appeal to the United
States circuit court to set aside the
verdict because of alleged technical
errors in the indictment or the trial.
and if he fails there he will go to the
United States supreme court, hoping
to have that tribunal do as much for
him as it did for Senator Burton of
Kansas, convicted under the same
statute of accepting pay for services
before the departments in cases in
which the government was concerned.
