Vote Buying a Crime.
N. O. Daily States.

N. q. Daily States.
A few Sundays ago Cardinal
Gibbons delivered in Baltimore a
sermon, which was both timely and
interesting, on what has grown to be
q great and dangerous evil in this
country. In the course of his rmo
Cardinal Gibbons said:
mo man can be a good Christian
who sets in defiance the laws of the
commonwealth. The man that breaks
down the laws of the State is
violating at the same time some
commandment of the Decalogue.
The citizen who buys or sells votes.
who creeps into political power by
intrigue and bribery, is a thief and
is ~transgress:ng the commandment
which says Thou shalt not steal.n
Greatly impressed by the words of
the eminent prelate the Baltimore Sun
remarks that $50 accustomed have we
become to the practice of vote buying
that the Cardinals sermon seems
almost startling and sensational
1t is a deplOrable fact, however,
that we are not only accustomed to
crime OF vote buying, but are actually
tolerant OF it, indeed so tolerant that
a few years ago when a Democratic
Congressman from one of the Western
States voluntarily gave up his seat
upon the discovery that the votes cast
for him had been bought, he vas not
applauded but laughed at as q mark
entirely too easy to have a part in the
political game.
However, at one period in the
history of England vote buying
reached a stage of shamelessness
never known. in this country, but the
shocking corruption which was the
fruit of it caused a sweeping wave of
reform that produced laws and
conditions which have been enforced
and maintained to this day with
benefits to the English people that
are highly priced by them.
In this country the Republican
party is the party of wealth and by
reason Of. the enormous Campaign
funds its managers are able to raise
profits most by the crime of vote
buying, hence it is quite easy to
understand why the Republican
leaders Sm0thered the 'corrunt
practice acts that were introduced IA
the last session Of Congress in.spite
OF the fact that such leeislation had
been recommended by President
Roosevelt In . message to that BODY.
