Driving Out the Crooks
Nashville Tennesseean)

Nashville Tennesseean)
 A wholesome sentiment is manifested throughout the country to put efficient trustworthy men in office drive out those who have demonstrated by their unfitness to be unworthy of the public confidence.
 The state of Ohio has been greatly afflicted with debauchery the pubic service, especially in the legislature, the session 1910 having been con spicuous for the bold operations of bribers and grafters
 The courts, however have since had something to say about the crooked work of that famous sion, with the result that something like dozen of those involved in the bribery have been convicted Of their crimes.
 The record of in their efforts to purge the capitol the shame of the bribery and graft. which held high carnival at the famous session of 1910 is follows:
 Senator Isaac E Huffman, convicted of accept ing bribe; under sentence of three in the pententiary
 Senator l.. R Andrews convicted same charge; under sentence of nine months,
 Senator George K Cetone. convicted same charge; yet sentenced
 Representative George B. Nye. pleaded guilty on charge of soliciting a bribe; sentenced
 Representative Owen J. Evans, pleaded guilty of soliciting a brbe; fined.
 Rodney Dege. senate sergeant arms, con- victed of aiding abetting the bribery plot; now serving three year term in the penitentiary.
 Two pleaded guilty bribery charges; fined
 While shame faced and humiated. the citizens O great commonwealth may look on such a spectacle confess that such Venalty is possible in this enlightened age, yet there should be SrSti- fcation the fact that the courts measure up to that standard of integrity and morality which guarantees the enforcement the law.
 The prosecutors and the courts in Ohio have demonstrated that they may be relied upon to drive the crooks from public service and thus vindicate the and integrity of the common wealth

The Status of the Charter

\ conclusion will shortly be reached concerning the city charter The city council has received a communication from Governor Hunt in which he stated he had transmitted copy the charter to Attorney General Bulard, investigation whether it's apparent conflict with the sttuton invalidate the whole in- strument
 MT Bullard is good lawyer, and good lawyers generally reach the conclusions legal propositions. and nearly all the good lawyers to whom this been presented of tn4 opinion that itself unaffected by the provisions to which objection has been raised
 they had been omitted there could be doubt the character of the charter. But being in fIict with the constitution. they nonenties the charter stands as if they had been omitted.
 If they had never been framed if no p'n- visions had been framed relative to the matters which they constitution itself would hay provided for the doing of the things related to bT the defective provision.
 view of these facts hardly be ceived that the attorney general would recommend that the city be subjected the great expense of preparing another and the long delay that would be incidental Of charter might be so involved d conflict with the constitution be fatally affected in parts; it would in trety be invalid the defective provisions of the present are but situation is different Without these provisions would still have the machinery for progressive and business like city government It is such machinery ine-tentHs If the voters who expressed themselves at the polls said they wanted. We believe that the opinion If the attorney general will be recognition of the will of this overwhelming majority.
