Unless progressive legislation is

the opening may lead representative
government over precipice into pure
socialism and paternalism." said the
governor in his message.
Representative government does
not mean that present-day conditions

trary. progressive legislation may be
enacted with no disturbance to the
checks and balances of our system of
government.
The last general assembly, recog

NO PROSECUTION
FOR IEACHQQI, SR.

Although District Attorney-elect

no; he would prosecute Il. c. Teach
4 1t, father of Bert Teachout. who
~. accused by Ben Gilbert in
' Natement yesterday with having
tuilty knowledge of the plans for
Me two boys TO rob the express
company, it is generally believed
that no further action will be taken.
Gilbert's confession, while be-
lieved by many, would not stand in
court as the unsubstantiated testi-
mony of an accomplice. Unless
further evidence is presented local
attorneys consider ii extremely
doubtful if prosecution would
stand in court.
Attorney j. NJ. Kinard. counsel
for Bert Teachout, said today that
he had no statement to make.
There will be no appeal so far as
my client is concerned" he said.
THE declarations of Gilbert, made
as they were in hopes of securing
n commuted sentence for himself,
call for no statement from us, and
we have none TO make
