The press, with unanimity rarely
seen, has howled long and loud at
Texas for the recent slaughter of ne
groes. The fight started over a trif-
ling debt between a white man and
negro, but there had been skirmishes
before, which the police were aware
of and for which little had been done
An able editorial in the Houston
(TeXas) Chronicle freely voiced the
sentiment of great many, and ex-
pressed the opinion that "Texas had
been hurt by her own people"
And practically every State in the
Union is in the same class with Texas.
For the past six months the press
of Illinois, New York. Ohio, Tennes-
see, Ala ALBANIA, Pennsylvania and other
States, has teemed with scandals of
the municipalities within their bor-
ders which have brought disgrace on
all of them.
And why is it possible for this state
of affairs to exist?
The only honest answer is: the
unprincipled politician; the COR
ruptionist, whose lust for Office and
greed for public funds has made
mockery of the words Government
by the people, of the people, and for
the people,; the grafters in high and
low places, who have fastened them
selves like harpies on the political
body of the United States and have

New York's police force has long
been regarded as the most borough
ly organized political machine in ex-
istence. A mans chances to get on
the force were slim unless he had,
frst--a good-sized "wad' of money,
and, second-good political backing
which would assure his allegiance to
"the machine ii. e., Tammany
HalD.
Fitness for the duties was a third
consideration, and as an asset of
Tammany Hall the police force of
New York city ranked first.
Pennsylvania has long been held
up as horrible example, of politi-
cal misrule; her legislative halls
have been filled with bride givers and
bride takers; the chink of the dollar
drowned out the Voice Of the People,
and the blots on the 'scutcheon hides
the emblem of the State.
Illinois has begun to run New York
State close race in the matter of
political corruption, and the press
teens daily with the tales of graft,
brides and perjury.
Tennessee has been in the control
OF as bold and INSCRIPTIONS a gang
OF grafters as ever cheated a prison,
but the people seem to have had a
glimmering of the truth dawn on
them, and new conditions are in the
making.
And all these crimes are commit
ted against the States themselves by
their own people.
No outside influence is brought to
bear on them; no instruction in graft
nor bribery is given to- benefit those
in other StateS-each is being out
ragged and shamed by her own sons.
When the police, sheriff and even
the judges on the bench of a State
are political puppets to do the bid

condemn or elevate. is it any wonder
Texas is drenched with the blood of a
mob and it's victims?

are "elected"?
When police officials who have
made good as officers, but refuse to
become the pawns of ward heelers
and bosses, are deposed from office,
is it any wonder that the life of the
city's executive is attempted?
And so on, down the line from
East to West, North to South, the
game and the results are the same
And no State is exempt.
When the rank and file of the
THINKING people of the United
States will interest themselves in the
conditions existing; when the vote sell

when public office is MADE a public
trust; when the dollar mark is taken
from political office and the people
demand the right to select every pub

the right of recall then, per-
haps, we may read less Of the dis
graceful scenes which have been re-
peated so often the past two years
as to rob the expression, "an Ameri-
