Thursday , April 6' , 1905.
The recent legislature is entitled -
,
titled to credit for passing some
good bills , but as human nature I
is no prone to circulate evil rather .
than good reports , we hear much
more censure than commendation ,
of the winter's work.
'rhe legislature just closed issued - .
sued fewer bills , but passed more ,
of them than any of its recent i
predecessors. The fatness or
le tttless of the bill file docs not
always determine the size of the
volume of session laws.-Omaha
Bee.
'rhe biennial election bill passed
the senate on Wednesday of last. .
week with but two opposing I
votes. This docs away with the
, election of County officers this
year and extends the time of the
present incumbents one year , as
under the law they hold over until -
til their successors arc elected
and qualify.
The city election Tuesdaj' was
the most quiet ever held in the
city. There beiug but one ticket
in the field there was no personal
contest. Those favoring saloons
I apparently realized there was
nothing to be gained by waging
1/ / an active warfare and as the anti-
# saloon clement felt secure , there
1
was no special work done on
, either side. Had the full vote
, .
been secured It would not have
chang d the result.
There seems to be but little
.
doubt , .judging from Tuesday's
election , that Broken Bow can
rest assured that it will be many
. . a day before licensed saloons will
be tolerated in the city. 'rhe
vote was not over half out , owing
to their being no contest on candidates -
didates , but the vote on the license -
ense qhestion was an incraased
majori t over any former election.
di t c 217 votes cast t1ere } were
onlv 45 for saloons , which gives
a majority of 172 against.
.
UlcnnlBl Elections.
The biennial election bllls have
been approved by the governor.
Should these bills stand the test
of th'e courta there will be'nJ
el.ctton . ; this fall. 'The presenl
incumbents will hold over nexi
year. ' .J.'here is a question of the
constitutionality of the bills ancJ
doiibtless they will be tested it :

election this faU , if they are de

Ir. . passing the bin providing
for the election of a railroad com
mission to regulate freight rates
we are inclined to think the legislature -
lature did a good thing. While
there was a general clamor for a
freight rate bill there is a serious
question as to whether the members -
bers of the legisiature were sum-
ciently informed on railroad bpsi-
ness to have drafted a hill that
would have been just to all con-
cerned. 'rhe Cusion legislature ,
ten or twelve years ago attemptcd
the task of regulating freight
rates and Cailed in making rates
that would stand the scrutiny of
the supreme court. By electing a
commission for that purposc , of
able men it will enable them to
adjust rates fairly to all concern-
eel.
Should they fail in this the
people will have the power to re-
placc them with men who will.
The Uhllhng ' [ 'wno ( lUll Yctoetl.
The governor has returned the
Bmding Twine bill to the secreta.
ry of state with his vetoe and the
accompanying note :
"I herewlth transmit to Jot1

ty of rCBults are reasons. which
impel me to the belief that this
is not an opportune time for thc
state to cngage ill such an eu.ter-
"rise and which causc me to witb-
hold my approval. "
'Ve hud oped that thi bill
might ha'c become a law , but we
must conccde that the governor
gi'cs some strong reason for his
veto , yet we regard the large in-
dcbtedness of the state , which
now exceeds the constituional
limit , the most importnnt.
Importllut LaUH.
Among the new laws enacted
by the last legislature is one fixing -
ing a penalty for a woman deserting -
serting her husband and cohabiting -
ing with another man at imprisonment -
onment in jail for one ) 'ear , or a
fine of 5200. 'l'hc penalty imposed -
ed on a man for adultr ) ' . is fixed
at two years in the penitcntiary
or a fine not to exceed 5500 , or
both , in the discretion of the
court.

'rIIOSC who are searching for an I
argument against the political
rights of women are continually
pointing to the frauds in Denver
as an example of the workings of
women suffrage.
It is difficult for enc to retain
their dignit ) ' when reading some
of the effusions upon the Denver
frauds in their rf'lation to women
suffrage , especially when we know
that women took little or no part
in them.
If the testimony of those who
have made a study of these.ques- .
tions for years can be taken , the
election frauds in Denver are as
nothing compared with those in
some of our cities where men only
vote.
vote.Mr.
Mr. Hudolph Blankenberg of
Philadelphia , chairman of the
committee on election frauds ,
says that 1n Philadelphia there
are more than 1 O,000 fraudulent
names on the voting register ,
that when the polls opened at
7 a. m. , one ballot box had l-
ready been stuffed so full of fraudulent -
ulent votes that it was impo sible
to get an ) ' of the legal ballots in ;
that 142 voters were registered a ! ;
living in one small house not able
to lodge a dozenj that out of 36
registered letters which he sent
to voters alleged to be living at
another house , 29 were returned
through the mail with the report

that the persons were unknown
there.

What is true of Philadelphia is
true of a majority of our large
cities. If women were given the
bal10t to-day in Philadelphia
there is not a doubt but the whole
mass of corruption would be laid
to them. it would at least show
the failure of women suffrage if
thc ) ' were not able to eliminate
all the corruption that has been
entrenching itself in the very
life of the l' ty government for
