sIt's fine to be an optimist. Here's
the dOughnuts around the hole in the
Ohio graft exposure, says the Empor-
la Gazette.
Since the evidence Of corruption
has been made public, the Wyman
bill, embracing what is know as the
Oregon plan or the direct nomina-
Ition and election of the United States
senators, has been passed. And a
measure abolishing nineteen separate
boatd. of trustees, which have been
deciding grounds for politicians, and
placing their duties in single board,
has been sent to Governor Harmon
with the assurance that he will ap-
prove it, since he urged such a meas
ure.. That is not all. A public util-
titles bill giving a state commission
board power over all Ohio public
service corporations, which passed
the house some time ago was held
back in the reactionary senate, has
been recommended for passage and
made special order, while bills for
the direct nomination Of all state Of
ficers and for the commission plan Of
government for cities have been sud-
denly forced from committees and
placed on the calendars with favor
able recommendations. And in con-
uection with the commission govern

nor Harmon is said by the Johnston
democrat, like Governor Wilson of
New Jersey, to be standing like a
stone wall for the initiative and the
referendum. Governor Harmon,
however, unlike Governor Wilson,
appears to be opposed to the recall.
That'is the bright side Of the Ohio
graft scandal. Consider 1t carefully
