Payne Case Recalled.

I'm the Payne case Senator Frye. the
conservative. brainy and honest senator
from Maine. pleaded with the Senate to
investigate the charges that the Standard
Oil Company had, through its agents and
| officers, put its hands upon a legislative
body. and undertook to control and elect
a member of the United States Senate.
He could not secure a hearing.
'Old Judge Thurman. with relation to
the Payne case, said at that time. in an
interview: The democratic clock is put
back four years. and corruption is given
a new leasehoId in our land, syndicates
purchase the peoples votes, and honest
men stand aghast.
1--WE at least have had an investigation,
a thorough one, and as the lid has been
lifted men have been sickened by the foul
odor that came from the caldron Of cor
ruption. There is no divinity that sur
rounds a seat in this body acquired by
such methods. no reason to talk in
whispers concerning 1t. but boldly to
brand 1t, as it Is, purchased seat.

"Riot Of Corruption

''The methods employed would not have

he said. 1.-THE election was the result of
an organized riot Of corruption. de-
bauchery of the electorate by treating.
employment. purchases Of newspaper in
f1uence and other despicable methods,
creating, by money. political enthusiasm
and securing political support. Such
practices should cease, and cease now.
Otherwise the canker of corruption will
eat close to the heart of the republic.
1.-The only real danger that can ever
threaten this nation in the future is cor
ruption in the body polite. 1t Is the child
Of avarice and special privilege. 1t can
exist only when the electorate is indif-
ferent They may be slow to be aroused,
but when once aroused the American
people will drive the money changers
from the temple and smite the arrogant
demon Of corruption wherever its vile
head may appear
Seats in the United States Senate, Mr..
Kenyon declared, did not belong to the
highest bidder. If seats were to be
bought and sold as merchandise then he
foretold the decadence of the republic.
IF men can be sent here by money"
he continued. "others cam be defeated by
money, and there are men in this cham
Der who know what 1t means to have the
purses OF great interests opened to defeat
them. We are marching on; no one need
be discouraged: the people. not money

Question of Public Policy.

"Aboye any other question is the great
one of public policy. A man who turns
loose this enormous sum of money to
secure a seat here is not, as a matter
of public policy. entitled to remain a
member of the body; even were the cleo
ton legal he should be expelled.
THE minority offer no apology for their
action. 1t has been an unpleasant duty.
but we have the consciousness at least
of not voting to approve methods and
practices in an election condemned by
the majority as expenditures in violation
Of the fundamental principles underlying
our system of government"

Then Mr.. Burleson asked why it was
necessary to spend more than 5000 for
a mahogany WainscOting and a green
marble base in the courtroom.
Expense to "Set OFF, Furniture.
1.-The room would have looked unfin-
shed," Mr.. Starek answered, with the
good furniture we had in it, without the
walls being finished, too. The building
we are in is just an ordinary Office build
ing, with regular, cheap plaster walls and
we felt that the furnishings having cost
as much as they did, and being handsome
in themselves, justified the extra expense
of setting them off properly"
'In other words" remarked Mr.. Burle-
son SarcaSficallv. "havtng started out on
this expensive scale, you felt that You
ought to keep up the pace"
After asking questions about the other
items of costly furniture, Mr.. Burleson
wanted to know what had become Of the
remainder of the $4,000.
did they exert themselves to spend the
whole amount?' he inquired.
"Oh, no." replied Starek, there is a
balance of almost 5000 to turn back into
the Treasury"
Whose taste was consulted in the Sc
lection of the furniture you have been
telling about?" asked Representative
johnson.
1.-THE judges themselves decided" Mr..
Starek replied.
