the way is very brief one, of the sena-

at the opening of the session. The
list does not include the names of
the three Prohibition representatives,
Higgins, Noble and Lobeck, all of
whom were prompt to free themselves
from any semblance of obligation to
the railroads. Their action, too, was
in harmony with the action of the last
state convention which denounced the
issuance of passes to public officials
as a form of bribery and called for it's
abolition. 1t is worth quoting that
the Prohibition representatives were
unanimous in this act, whereas less
than a score of the numerous repre-
sentatives of the other parties return

fact that issues of justice are so often
settled on party lines rather than on
principle. Senator Hackney, for in

first in the courts and, being defeat

shows that the Republicans have voted
for Hackney and the Democrats for
