rich, if be is afraid to make aggressive
warfare on saloons, gambling bouses
and brothels ae some of them are in this
citv, then bis congregation lapses into
light regard for religion and the sacred
functions of the church. If the gover
nor of a state, after parading himself as
an example of superior virtue, as a
Moses who will lead the people out the
g! bondage of a free pass system which
has cursed their state for twenty years,
and has brought with it all manner of
official peculations, such as this "house
rent” steal, if he, after setting himself
np as such a leader, then descends to
the level of a ward politician, grabbing
greedily for free ride, free bed and free
railroad passes, for "house rent” and for
anything else that he can get under the
£ color of law or on the sly, then bis
political followers, accepting bis ex
ample as a significant hint, plunge
headlong into a general scramble for the
spoil which goes with corrupt politics.
When the legislature of ’94 was near
ing its doseand the appropriations were
being considered, Joseph S. Bartley,
who was then state treasurer, and was
more Intimate with Gov, Holcomb than
any other republican state official,
slipped around among the legislative
members whispering that Gov. Holcomb
would like to have the salary of bis
private secretary raised from $1,700 to
13,000 and would be obliged for the
usual "house rent” allowance of I1.S00
f$r himself. 8uch an appropriation bad
been made for Gov. Crounse two years
before without his request and he had
promptly vetoed It, refusing to take
the money, because, as he said, the
constitution had fixed his compensation
and to change the allowance by a legis
lative trick would be equivllent to steal
ing the money, for he had no right to it.
And now with the Crounse veto and
with public sentiment denouncing this
crooked business on the one hand and
with the governor’s lobbyists whisper
ing his wishes and promising that he
would show his appreciation in some
substantial manner on the other hand,
there was a halting and a hesitating on
the part of the legislature, whether it
would atay within the constitution, on
.the higher ground whloh Crounse had
pointed out or whether it would descend
to the lower ground which Holcomb was
anxious to ocoupy.

Here the example of the executive
wee potent to turn the scale, for no
etete government ever rises higher than
the morality of its official head, and the
republican members, fearing the gover
Bor’s veto against some of their meas*
urea, and consoling themselves that it
was worse for the populist ‘ governor,
after all his reform pretentions, to
aecept the money than It was for them
to appropriate it. they made the unlaw
ful appropriation, and the reform gover
nor signed it and took the money.
Again in ’96 this “house rent’’ steal
came before the legislature. There
stood the Crounse veto, pointing to the
constitution which says, “Thus far
shalt thou go and no farther.” There
stood populism with its platforms and
pledges for economy and reform, but
there was Maret, whipping in and out
among the members like a weasel in a
hen roost, there were the annual passes
in the pockets of 96 reform members
who had promised a hundred times each
that they never would touch them, and
there was the ring and the ring bosses
who had helped to procure these passes,
cracking the whip over the back of
every member who hesitated, and they
raieed the salary of the little secretary,
passed the $1,500 unconstitutional
“house rent” steal and the governor
signed the bill and took the money.
For several months past, pending the
late campaign, the governor, fearing
theae house rent vouchers would be seen
by some newspaper reporter and that
comment would be made in the press,
neglected to draw on the unconstitu
tional appropriation, but Tuesday of
t$ie week he reached slyly into the
treasury and got $360 of it.
Prof. Hendee, a teacher in the deaf

of the professor. What can they expect
