The cheering feature of the exposure
Of the graft scandal at P%ittsburg, as
a result of which a dozen members of
the city council have been ARRESTED,
is the fact hat bride givers as well
as the bride takers have been caught.
In too many cases the corrupt official
is bounded from Office or sent to prison
while the cause of his misconduct
escapes punishment, but in the Pitts
burg case the officials of a bank which
has admitted to having paid SIT, 500
to be selected as the depository of the
city funds, have been caught along
with the bribed cOuncilmen.
An interesting sidelight is thrown
on the deal by the fact that the bank
ers in question are inanciers of the
corporation that own the bridges be-
tween Pittsburg and Allegheny, re-
Gently consolidated, and have been
successful In defeating all plans to
have the city purchase the bridges and
make them free highways. Under the
circumstances it appears that there
was more in the bribery than the
honor and profit of being made Gus
todian of the city's funds. The tax
payers and citizens of Pittsburg have
become aroused to the situation and
propose to punish the municipal cor
rupters equally with those who fell
before their temptations. This is a
blow at the real root of the bribery
evil. There would be no bride takers
If there were no bride glvers.

TARIFF AND TEMPERATURE.

The Washington climate is the n
thing against which the standpatters
cannot prevail. The senate and house
may get d~eadlocked over a measure
and threaten to remain in session all
summer, before either will yield a
mooted point. but when the mercury
mounts to the neighborhood of the
century mark old General Humidity
takes active command and the asphalt
pavements of the capital city become
quagmires from heat. the call of the
mountains and lakes is irresistible and
the clerks and servants get busy in
packing the trunks and suitcases. The
record shows hat me congress re-
manned in session until the middle
of August, wTangling over a tariff bill,
which the country repudiated at the
next election, but all other presidents
argue in favor of about July l as get
away day for the summer session.
Some of the veteran members of
congress are already urging Mr.. Taft
to call the special tariff session i'm
mediately after his inauguration, in
order that the revision bill may be
gotten out of the way before Wash
ington %surrenders to the heat. 1t
is figured that IL congress takes an
early start, say by the middle of
March, the tariff bill should become
a law by July 1. Therein lies the OPP
portunlty n safety of the revision
lists. If they will forget the tempera-
ture and stand out ~valiantly for their
claims the standpatters will have to
weaken by July /.

HOW FAR Is 1T APPLICABLE-

In the public statement which he
gave out shortly after election Mr..
Bryan declared that he would expect
his democratic legislature in Nebraska
to enact into law all the pledges in the
democratic platforms that could be
made applicable 10 state conditions.
He has not, however, as yet specified
which Of the platform pledges pro-
claimed at Denver are applicable for
state legislation.
1t goes without saying that Mr..
Bryan considers his bank deposit guar
anty scheme just as feasible for a sim
gle state as for the nation. and that
he also regards the state as equally
competent within its borders to make
the physical valuation Of railroad
property, which he demanded for the
whole country. How much further he
would have his democratic legislature
20 in his home state is a subject for
speculation.
Would he have the legislature
change the state law governing judi
cial procedure so as to make trial by
Jury necessary in all cases for con-
tempt not committed within the pres
ence of the court?
Would he abolish the power of the
state courts to issue restraining orders
for any purpose whatsoever without
first giving notice to all parties con-
cerned and granting a hearing on the
issues?
Would he put into effect in Ne
braska his proposal to license corpora
lions controlling ore than 25 pei
cent of the product consumed in this
state and bar them out II the amount
controlled should exceed SO per cent
of the product?
Would he make compulsory by law
a Limitation on the size of any cam
paign contribution and compel publ
cation of receipts and expenditures be-
fore election?
Would he impose an income tax al
a means of raising state revenue?

MUNICIPAL EXPERIENCES.
CaFelessRess of Voters Responsible for
Public BetrayaIa.
st. Louis Republic.

oI. LOUIS ftepuDLlc.
No one can read OF the efforts to punish
bribery and purify the municipal govern
ment in Pittsburg without asking himself
how long It will be before American cities
learn to govern themselves. Experience
may be a good teacher, but the cities learn
slowly and one revulslon of public sentiment
under disclosures OF graft and perfidy is
followed by a lapse of feeling which opens
the door for new opportunities, new thefts
and another spasmodic revulsion.
The astonishing thing is that from the
experiences OF New York. Philadelphia, st.
Louis, P~ittsburg, San Francisco and Min
neapolis there has apparently come little
knowledge. The people 60 on electing the
vicious and the vicious go on with the pill
fering. Galveston and Des Moines seem to
be the only cities that have closed the door
to opportunities and secured that stability
of conscience which is insurance of a
peaceful. virtuous and honest future. Fort
Worth, Dallas and other Texas cities have
followed the lead of Galveston, but that
city seems TO be the only one that has ar
rived at a correct solution of the problems.
The solution is aided by the adoption Of
the form OF government by commission,
perhaps. but the point of supreme inn
p~ortance Is the awakening OF the civic
conscience, the stirring of the spirit Of
patriotism and the deliberate and un-
animous determination that the affairs OF
the municipality shall be conducted with
out the Interference Of politics or poll
tlcians, but soleiy for the benefit of the
people. SO long as the reckless ambitions
Of selfseeksTs are allowed to Obtrude them
selves and the people deliberately choose
for their representatives men interested to
serve themselves, their interests and their
friends, so long will we have Tecurrent out
breaks of bribery and graft. Tn form Of
the government is important, but the dispo-
sition Of the people Is of vastly greater inn
portance. 1t Is a ridiculous truism that the
people OF every municipality have exactly
the kind of government hey want.
