PURGING THE ELECTORATE.
That is all.

PURGING THE ELECTORATE.
The courts in Adams County, Ohio,
are busy probing charges of bribery
at the last election. The Court has
been busy for over a week and war
rants have been issued for over one
thousand offenders when the guilty
ones saw that the judge meant bust
ness they began to flack into court
in order to save the cost of arrest.
Among the number were several min
listers of the gospel who admitted
they had sold their votes, but begged
the judge to withhold their names
from the press so they could continue
in charge of their churches. The
judge listened to their appeal and
kept their identity a secret. While
the judge had been doing a very ex-
cellent work in breaking up this ne
farious business, we think he made a
grave mistake in shielding the minis
ters of the gospel.
The investigation is still in prog
ress, but the judge may have to sus-
pend before completing his work.
Several of the grand jury are beg
ging to be relieved so they can at
tend to private matters and the court
will have great trouble in securing
another jury, as so many of the citi-
zens of that county have either been
found guilty or are suspected of
either bribery or vote-selling.
The Baltimore American, COM
menting on the deplorable condition
in Ohio, says:
'It is not an enviable notoriety
which this Ohio county has gained as
result of the disclosures of the
wholesale manner in which votes
have been bought and sold, but there
is reason to hope that the purging
process which has been inaugurated
by Judge Blair's court will not only
raise politics in that particular coun-
ty to higher level, but will inspire
a cleansing movement in other coun-
ties not only in Ohio, but in other
States. = What a grand jury in one
Western State county has done, grand
juries in other counties located va.
rieusly, may do. For in most States
the law machinery and the statutory
provisions are sufficient for the fer
reting out and punishment of election
corruption If only grand jury with
the courage to do it's full duty /,

A few years ago Mr.. Henry

menting upon the appointment or
Justice of the Supreme Court. and
also upon the unfair advantage which
the Democratic machine in North
Carolina attempted TO take at the &C
ton of President Taft In appointing
Judge Conner for United States Judge
for the Eastern District of North
Carolina, says:
Wonder il the Democrats
will now claim that no Republic
cans in the Nation were fix for
Chief Justice?"
In this connection, 1t should also
be remembered that President Taft
had, a few months previously, APP
pointed Judge Lurton, a Democrat,
from the State of Tennessee, as an
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, and that later, he also appoint
ed Judge Lamar, o. the State of Geor-
gia, as Justice Of the same Court.
BILE Democratic machine editor in
North Carolina has not dared, in
commenting upon the Presidents &C
ton in the appointment of these
Democrats, to say that they were ap-
pointed because there was not Re-
publican lawyer within their districts
or within the United States compe-
tent for the place.
The fact is, that President Taft has
not only declared in favor Of non
partisan judiciary, - which high
principle has long since been a car
dinal tenet of the Republican party
in the State, and which was also
again enunciated in the last Republi-
can State platform, but that he has
according to Republican practice
made good his promise-a habit
which the Democratic party in the
State and the Nation has not yet &C
CURED.
In this connection, it is proper tC
call attention to the fact that to-
day the only Democrats on the Su-
preme Court bench of the United
States are those appointed by Presi-
dent Taft. If he had treated the Su-
preme Court bench of the United
States in the same partisan way that
the Democratic machine in North
| Carolina has treated the Supreme
| Court bench of the State, we would
to-day have a solid partisan Republi.
can Supreme Court bench Of the
| United States.
We submit to the fair, candid and
honest people Of North Carolina the
question as to whether they endorse
the action of President Taft in thus
making the judiciary non-partisan, Oh
whether they endorse the action OF
the carbohydrates achin,
in this State in making the judiciar!
as extremely partisan as possible?

organized to try to prevent Mr.. More
head and his committee from max
ing good in this election.
Indeed when one analyses the
whole situation and looks all the
facts squarely In the face, 1t ia ap-
parent that the Republican party In
North Carolina Is not only stronger
to-day than ever before, but that it
has laid a broad. deep and solid
foundation which means Republican
victory.
While North Carolina is the first
State to take official action since 1t
has become known that President
Taft would accept another nomina-
ton, yet the response that has come
from every quarter of the country
has been general and spontaneous
enough TO crafty the Presidents
most ardent supporters. In fact, the
people are now just beginning to ap-
preciate the full measure of the great
reform policies already enacted into
law this early in President Taft's
administration - surprising already
the record Of any other administra-
tion-and also to properly appreci-
ate the full measure of the man as a
great executive of the greatest Ma
ton on earth.
We will select President Taft and
thereby give new evidence of the
soundness Of our institutions and OF
our capacity for self-government.

Whips Bronson
by Big Margin

BOSTON. Aug. 30,-Tonmy Howell OF
Philadelphia. handed out another sur
prise at the Armory A. A. by winning
the decision over Ray Bronso of Indian
apolis In the feature bout OF twelNe
rounds. The award was won by such a
big margin that even the fans who had
made Bronson a top heavy favorite did
not make a kick about the decision.
Only two rounds did Bronson have the
advantage. In the second round he
landed a short right on Howells jaw
and the latter staggered, but by cover
ing up he managed to keep Bronson
from following with any more danger
Gus punches. In every round Howell
jabbed Bronson repeatedly, and often
when in close he would show a RICH,
uppercut to Bronson's jaw. In most Of
the exchanges Howell showed TO ad,
vantage, and when they went into q
clinch Bronson would plant the right or
the kidneys, while Howell would senL
the right TO the wind.
