why NOT ExpEL BURTON?

When Senator Burton's case was
dragging it's way thru one court up to
another to the supreme court OF the
United States, the senate argued that
action for his expulsion from that
body should await the decision OF the
higher court. Otherwise his case might
be prejudiced. 1t was suggested that
while the Appeal was pending the SEN
ate should not proceed to trial of his
guilt. So Burton, the unspeakable, has
remained member of the senate to the
disgrace of that body and Of the coun-
try. In a technical sense the senate
has been right. In a broader way II
has been wrong. Burton's guilt was
made plain and evident in the lower
courts. 1t was established that he had
been paid corruption money. The APP
peal was not over the question of
whether or not he had received the
price of his dishonor, but over a diff
ference in statement as to where ne

cerned, his unfitness to sit in the SEN
ate or among respectable men any
whese has been proved beyond doubt.
Why should the senate bear with him
while he chased from one court to an
other and endeavoring to escape the
consequences of his crime thru tech
nicahty?
Now the highest court has found
him guilty. The dissenting opinion
found him guilty, while it questions
the legal interest of the United States
in the case against the "Rtalto Co."
What is the senate waiting for? Bur-
TONS seat in the senate is at its mercy.
Why not expel this man convicted of
using his high office in behalf Of a
gang of confidence operators?

natural to find a boy of eighteen so
practical in matters Of love and mar
rage, there's something in his argu-
ment His assertion that the average

the mark. She can't. Her culinary ex-

loud in his praise. The Journal says
Kretschmer has done 'tnanly thing

and an injury to Allison himself. SEN

protection" He appears to differ
from Mr.. Perkins in estimating the
