venality. Those who spoke, 1t is stated,
went on the assumption that corrup.
tion had colored the acts of many
legislators, dating back to the grant
ing of statehood. Some Of the speak.
ers, this report runs, "blandly re-
to show up lawmakers against whose
prosecution the statute of limitations
has rum"
In these circumstances the move
ment to impeach the governor is nec-
essarily somewhat obscured. 1t is, in
fact, retarded. 1t may, indeed, be COM
pletely sidetracked. For there is dan
ger that the lower house may have to
start some impeaching on its own ac-
count, in order to gain a character Of
virtue justifying its assumption of the
role Of accuser of the state executive.
All this, of course, is to the tempo
rary advantage of the governor. 1t
may not save him from formal accusa-
tion and trial. But it serves to divert
attention from the primary issue, and
it may prove eventually to be to the
definite good Of the state. If there has
been such gross corruption in the
legislature that it is bruited without
starting immediate fighting the ques-
ton naturally arises why the hooded
knights Of the Klan have not been
heretofore busy in the name of purity
and justice right among the member
ship of the state lawmaking body.
