The hunt for boodlers and grafters
now going on from one end of the land
to the other is an evidence not of NOR

ening. Up to three years ago there
had only been tnirty-four cases of bril-
berry reported in the books in the pre-
ceding 100 years of our country's his
tory.
This was not because the offense
was uncommon, but for the reason it
was unusual for anyone to be prose-
cuted for what was then termed a
conventional crime. Men gave brides
and thought nothing of it. Men took
brides and boosted Of the fact; legis-
latures became dens of thieves; the
touch Of the unclean dollar was over
all and the public conscience was
asleep. Then came the revelations in
st. Louis, followed by Minneapolis and
other cities, and the people awoke to
now they were being plundered by
their trusted officials, and to the fact
that bribery, if allowed to go on un-
checked, would mean a government
