Ohio’s new bribery law, just signed by Governor Harmon, provides a penalty of ten years' imprisonment for the offense. That ought to appeal to the Columbus legislators. Likewise the possibility of infection may cause some unrest among the senator-mak-ers in the neighboring state of Illinois. If Lorimer was elected by the lumber trust to protect its interests, how many other senators were elected by the predatory combines, judging from the strenuous efforts they are putting forth to defeat the reduction of tariff duties on articles which are subjects of monopoly by American manufacturers? An lowa newspaper, referring to a ’ recent speech of Governor Woodrow Wilson, says that “he is voicing the sentiments of progressive republican.” Sure. So did Theodore Roosevelt voice the sentiments of advanced re-> publican thought in many of “my poll-' cies.” But the fact remains that his best measures were borrowed from, Bryan thought, and that progressive I republicanism is but the adoption in a | less modified form of democratic doctrine. If the reactionary republican senators will read the history of their own party they will discover that its great. original leaders, with William H. Sew-1 ard in the lead, originated and advo-, cated the tariff of 1857, a more drastic free trade measure than the democratic tariff of 1846. A little historical insight will demonstrate to the high tar- j iff retainers that their party has de- I generated from the principle of free trade to an abnormal appetite for tar-1 iff spoils and graft. Yesterday was Marshall day with; the editors in session at Laporte. The . resolution committee endorsed him I for the highest office in the land, president of the United States. It was done with a cheer and earnestness that no one could doubt, and it was no doubt one of the happy of the many in-1 spiring incidents of the executive's ' brilliant career. Mr. Marshall’s speech was a sound one and a regular Marshall talk. He did not apologize for his new proposed constitution, and told why he advocated it, and how the people would be benefited by adopting it. He discussed the proposition ‘ with men of both parties and believesl firmly and conscientiously in the new | idea. He did not discuss the legal, phases of the constitution, preferring to leave that to the courts, since a case has been filed to make the test. “John Can smoke his pipe and read the paper after supper, but how about you, Madim?
