One Who Offers No More Guilty
Than Takers
Tells How Members Of LegisIa-
turs Are Corrupted.

State Senator James F. Getty Of
Kansas City win make Doodle and
bribery his specially in the next ses-
sion Of the legislature. This might
sound like very serious charge
against Senator Getty. IL it we're not
explained that his interest in the sub
ject OF Doodle and bribery is to secure
the enactment OF law which, as he
expresses 1t. twill make the brlbe-tak-
eFs and bribe-givers lay awake nights.
Senator Getty was IN Topeka FRIDAY
to lock after some supreme court nusi-
ness. He said:
II am in favor of law which prom
isss immunity from prosecution TO the
party to q Doodle deal who nFst gave
Information of the affair to the officers
ROE the law. Such q law WILL IN my
atnion, do more TO stop such practices
han any law which could be devised
Il win make both the br1ber and the
bri6ee lay awake nights wondering
whether the other fellow won play
safe by telling the whole story.
Bribery Is in its very nature sec
ret crime. If 7 was going to br1be
man, I wouldn't take him down on
Kansas avenue and hire brass band
to furnish music while 1 made the
deal No, sir. I'd take him off where
I could be sure that no one but tnat
man and myself would know anything
about 1t. The crime would be con-
summated without another living soul
to tell the tale but US two.
"At the present time, the Kansas
law is the most effective preventive OF
conviction for bribery that could be
devised. The law makes both parties
to the bribery equally liable. II the
man who is bribed gets mad and says
he viii 'suuea1.' the man who does the
bribing says, If you send me to the
pen, I'll take you along. and that
settles the squealing proposition.
You take the average man who
comes to the legislature, and he is by
nature honest. If you leave him alone,
he will do the right thing. The same
Is true Of the men on the board Of rail-
road commissioners. The man who
gets on the board of railroad commits
sioners is generally disposed to be hon
est. And there is not a bit of doubt
that any three men of ordinary intelli-
gence and a determination to do what
is right could do come wonderful
things with that railroad law of ours.
That railroad law is good enough for
any board. It contains posi- bilities OF
unlimited breadth.
1.-THE trouble is that we have come
TO regard a great many things as in
nocent which when stripped of their
disguise are simply bribery and moth
ing else. The men who are sent here
to the legislature to influence the pas
sage Of certain legislation are usually
very smooth articles. They viii take
up with new member and show him
a good time; not in any ebtrusiye way,
but In way which counts. There
ought to be some way to get at such
practices.

to exercise his sense of di.
rection, to pit himself
against the darkness.

said; Il may be.a long tins

In his mind he had O pic
turc of the cell, but now
that he listened to the water
1t seemed to have changed
Its direction, and he found
he had to rearrange this
mental picture, and make q
different set of calculations
to fit the new position. Then
he shuffled slowly forward
with hands outstretched, but
he came to the wall, and not
to the bench. Again he
mapped out his route, again
endcavored, and again
failed.
"This is bewildering," he
muttered. "How the dark
