President Taft vetoed the Webb
bill, which was designed to pro-
hibit the shipment of liquors for
illegal purposes into prohibition
territory, but the bill was prompt
ly passed over the veto by both
houses. The grounds for the veto
we're that the law would be uncon-
stitutional as it would give the
power to states to regulate inter.
state commerce, a power vested
solely in congress by the constitu-
ton. The passage of the law over
the veto will result in bringing the
question before the supreme court
for final adjudication. The pur-
pose of the law is good and seems
to be generally sanctioned by the
great majority of people, but if it
establishes principle which when
applied to other articles besides
liquors would be detrimental it will
be necessary to secure the effect in
different way.

One of the last acts of President
Taft before retiring was to com
mute the penitentiary sentence OF
Chas. Hyde. the wealthy banker
and real estate dealer of Pierre
Hyde was fined $1,000 and sen
fenced to fifteen months In the
federal prison for using the mails
to defraud. The president com
muted the prison sentence and let
him off with the fine and costs, a.
mounting to about $4,000. Of
course strong pressure was brought
to bear in Hyde's favor by influent-
ial men of this state, but we be
lieve the president made bad
mistake in yielding to it. The
cese was fairly tried and the guilt
established. The offense was
committed deliberately and sys,
tematically, and there seems to
have been no mitigating circnm,
stances TO warrant the. clemenc,

The legislature seems to be do
ing some good work in the line Of
investigating fraud, and it is un-
fortunate that any political or
factional interests should be raked
up to cloud the credit for a good
work, but some of the progressive
newspapers seem to be making
themselves ridiculous by trying to
gain prestige for the progressive
cause by their investigation. They
go so far as to blame the stalwarts
for the crookedness because some
of the printers who have made ex- i
orbitant profits out of state print
ing contracts are stalwarts. We
might of course, erect moral
standard so high as to make it a
misdemeanor for a contractor to
accept an excessive fee for his ser
vices even though it was freely Of
fered to him, but we doubt if the
critics themselves could qualify
under such rule of morality The
fact ia that the officials who grant
ed these contracts, and who were
elected to look after the interests
of the state, we're all progressiyes.
Thet the official who has been
forced to resign on account of
crookedness in the conduct of his
Office, is a progressive. The one
who according to the findings of
the investigating committee ap-
pears to have attempted to in
fuence legislation IN consideration
of large contigent fee is leading
progressive. SO far as the investi-
cations have revealed not one OF
the stalwart officials is implicated
in any crookedness. The resolu-
tion asking for an investigation
was first introduced by demo-
cratic representative. All honor
to the members of the Legislature
of whatever political alliance who
are trying to purge the state Of
crookedness, but it comes with
poor grace for the progressives to
try to make any campaign thunde,
out of it.

A beautiful and interesting love

Better than the books, for we see

two brothers loving the same girl; a
sweet, kind and pleasant, beautiful
girl, and the two brothers playing the
love role for the heart. Not the vii

"BESETTING SIN"

His Speech at Banquet Was
Remarkable

would be nothing but kicker and
squealer" if he regretted what fortune
and the country had given him, and de-
clared that he expected to return 10
Washington in the future, to sit and
chat with his newspaper friends over
the doings of another administration,
which, like his own, might make mis-
takes.

the frankest those who have observed
the Presidents addresses closely for
years had heard or read.
