Most wisely was such clause insert

that the people are fully determined to
see that it is enforced, not only in the
election of Governor, but also in that of
members of the Legislature, both House

A writer who has made a study of the
blood lines of, horses that have won
championships in the saddle horse
classes at the National Horse Show
states that Morgan blood in and out of
the saddle horse stud book has contrib
uted much to the list of champions.
Flashlight, the unbeaten champion of
1901, traced direct to the founder of the
family through his sire, Eureka Lad. by
Coleman's Eureka, son of Young
Morgan, by Buffers Eureka, son of
Green Mountain Morgan, by Woodbury.
Morgan, son of Justin Morgan. Vince,
the reserve champion of 1899, and Qui-
settle, reserve in 1901, were other direct
descendants of Justin Morgan through
his son. Sherman Morgan, and Hills
Black Hawk, the son of that horse.
Vince was by Vinso, son of Vindex, by
Blood's Black Hawk, son of Hills
Black Hawk, while Quisette was by
Lexington Jr., son of Cabell's Lexing-
ton, by Gist's Black Hawk, son of
Blood's Black Hawk. In almost every
field of equine usefulness Morgan blood
has contributed something with the ex-
ception, of course, of the heavy draught
class. To the trotter and PAGER, the
saddle horse, the road horse, the car
riage horse and the coach horse, the
Morgan has contributed something, and
never any undesirable qualities. Horse

Epitome of Gov. Hughes Message
to LEGISLATURE

Revelations in the inquiry recently
conducted made it imperative that there
should be thorough investigation with
respect to legislative processes and as
to the corrupt practices which have been
effectual in advancing of blocking legis-
lation
These disclosures have caused every
honest citizen to tingle with shame and
Indignation and have made irresistible
the demand that every proper means
should be employed to purge and to
purify.
This is promising opportunity to
pursue the opening trails of corruption,
to reveal illicit methods and agencies,
to uncover the perfdious influences
which have dishonored the State.
1.-The Legislature is entitled to know
how, wherein and by whom it has been
deceived.
The opportunities of those who are
willing to buy legislative favor or to use
representative powers for personal
profit should be limited to the utmost
degree.
1.-The time is ripe to expose the worst
of public wrongs.

tial, thorough, and unsparing investiga-
ton into legislative practices.
Especial to The World3
Albany, April II. - Recommending
AN immediate, impartial, thorough
and unsparing investigation into legisla-
tive practices and procedure and into
the use of corrupt or improper means
for the promotion or defeat of legisla-
ton. Gov. Hughes sent a special
message to the Legislature tonight.
Denouncing the illicit traffic in laws re-
vealed by the Allds-Conger bribery in
quiry and the investigation by State
superintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss.
Gov. Hughes declared "the time is ripe
to expose the worst of public wrongs
and to prepare the way for needed i'm
provements in our laws and legislative
processes.
Accompanying the message was a pre-
liminay report made by Supt Hotchkiss
of his investigation, which, he says, has
shown that "a system of bil-killing and
law getting has existed which is re-
proach to the people of the State -
