4 SENATE REPORT.

The report of the majority of the committee in the Reed Shoot case, recommending the removal of the Utah Senator on the ground of poly gamy. reviews several cases In which Senators were expelled as being nn- fit to perform their official duties.
 The first is that of William Blount, a Senator from the State of Tennes- see, who in the year 1z97 was de. prived of his seat in the Senate for conduct inconsistent with his pub lie trust and duty as a Senator" Tine evidence against Mfr. Blount showed that he had been guilty of writing a letter to q government agent among the Indians, named Carey, iu order to seduce Carey from his duty as an interpreter and use him as "an engine to alienate the confidence of the Indians from the public officers c! the United States residing among them" He was expelled from the Senate by a vote Of 225 against one and his conduct was denounced as amounting to high miSdemeanor
 The next case cited is that of John Smith, a Senator from Ohio, who iN tue year 1907. was accused of being associated with Aaron Burr in coz spiracy against the peace and pros perity of the United States The committee appointed to 1nvestigat" the case. while holding that in the examination the strict forms of ju,lic ial proceedings and thn rules of ju. dicial evidence might not be insisted upn n such inquiries. and that the power ot eNpelling {. member must be discretionary ;euG always ulo~" &urnmary than .he tar0y process ot judicial tribunals fhe power of "eSpelHag 8 y,.-3nher for yniscordnct is founded Ipon thn principles Of common sense anG tne uttrest Of .he nation.

NEW SCHEME FOR GOOD ROADS

In the press dispatches of $ few weeks ago it was announced that a Missouri farmer had hit upon a new scheme for providing good roads. This farmer has succeeded in inter- csting bis neighboGs in a project 10 contribute s3 per acre each for nlacad- smizing the public roads of his dis trict with the provision that the coun- ,y will bear the remainder If he expense.
 The Graphic has refrained fr0.r any comlneIt upon this scheme until sore devel .],tnts of s1 character to test :ts value, however slightly. More recent reports say the farmers are taking to the plan rapidly fo- be it known now that Missouri farmers nave long since learned the value of good roads. And if is said that where the majority of farmers Of any district fall into line with the project there is little dltii- culty experienced In getting the conn. ty courts tc come to their assistance. The movement is said to he spread ing rapidly,
 The Graphic believes that if this movement were taken up in Arkansas and found feasible here, 1t would prove to be the solution of the good roads problem Then if the county  "ould secure state convicts for IT. labor on these public roads 1t would solve another of the economic prob 'ems with which we are confronted Or it would take the convict out of competition with ArEansas labor.
