Nevertheless, the voters of In diana bestowed on these men the most honorable and powerful offices at their disposal. They did it with eyes wide open. What they are getting now is precisely what they had every reason to dxpect. If they had got any thing different, it would have been a denial of log ic, a mystery requiring analysis

Voters are indifferent, or partisan, or uninformed, or they are moved by considerations other than those of civic duty. They are seldom corrupt. They elect bad men to office, not because they are had, but in spite of it. They wink at the record, or ignore it. That is a mistake and a vice, and the voters usually pay for it. The voters of Indiana are paying for it. Perhaps the price will he a lesson to them. Pershaps, but we shall

Indiana might point a vengeful finger at Pennsylvania which clung to Boss Vare in the full and ghastly knowledge of the means by which he had been nominated, anil where, in Philadelphia, the horrible reign of Vare’s machine has just received a new lease from the voters. Indiana might fling a mudball at Ohio, which re-elects Sena tors who admit taking cash “honorariums” from the Anti-Saloon League wdiile defending prohibition in the Seate and out of it. Indeed, Indiana in her despera lion might even remind us all that the nartv which sent the Ohio Gang to Washington to rule over the destinies of the nation, went bray enly before the country at the end of that four’ years of graft unparalleled and greed unmatched, and received a popular majority of 7, 000.000 votes. (It as the same par t.y as that to which McCray, Du vail, Jackson, Watson and Robinson belong.) But Indiana will do better to fore go the satisfaction of spiteful reminders. She will do better to turn to her own past for counsel and inspiration. She can listen agair to the thunderous eloquence of Dan Voorhees. “the tall sycamore of the Wabash.” She can hear the flashing language of Beveridge, orator and scholar. She can find comfort in the rugged honesty of Kern, and courage in the illustrious record of Morton.
