SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 2c 1904.
A SENATOR CONVICTED
'The recent conviction of
United States i Senator, J. R.
Burton of Kansas, who took his
seat in the senate March 1, 1901,
for the crimes of bribery and
using hi influence as United
States Senator to secure a proflt-
able contract for bis clients, tbe
Bidlto Grain and Security Coin-,
panywith the United Ststee
Postal Departmeht for material
furnished and to be furnished
by it. is attractine wide atten
tion. In his case it appears
that the Company, being desir
ous of securing as high prices as
possible for the things it sold to
the United States Government,
was not anmindful of the ad'
vantages of having "a friend at
court," and to this eud employed
Senator Burton as its attorney
at a salary of 1500 per month.
The jury found tbat wmle re
ceiving this salary, and at the
same time being United States
Senator, valuable contracts were
made by the Postal Department
with said Company due some
what to the influence of Senator
Burton and convicted him of
bribery,
iWhile the verdict is a sur
prise to many people it is re
garded. as just by the - masses.
The surprise comes from the
general understanding that it is
a common thiug for United
States Senators to be on the pay
rolls of big corpoiations : duriug
their senatorial terms. This is
especially true of railroad cor
porations that have standing
"axes to grind" not only in the
Postal Department , for mail
transportation, but in all other
departments of the governmont,
and are popularly supposed,
largely by the aid of their seua
torial attorneys, to bo able to
make fat contracts with the
government, and also to secure
favorable legislation or defeat
that which they do not want, by
reason of the numer and abili
ty of their attorneys that are in
the United States Senate. So
common is this practice that uu
til the conviction of Senator
Burton the people were not
aware tbat it was an unlawful
one, and furthermore a febnous
oue, To show bow deeply were
the people of all olasses ignorant
that such a practice is a Mon
ona one, biographical writers of
the highest literary ability and
publishing houses of ample fi
nancial responsibility did not
hesitate to write and publish of
and concerning United States
Senators that during their terms
they were corporrtion attorneys.
The following quotation is
from Appletou's Cyclopedia of
American Biography, vol IV,
page 344. The closing sentence
to the biography ofa well nowu
United States Senator vol alive
and in the Senate, reads: "His
law practice has included lucra
tive connections with Western
railroads, gaining for him a
large fortune." Now it is well
kuown that when this man
entered the United Status Seuate
over 30 years ago, he did not
Lave "a large fortune."
Simply because a few of the
Republicans in this city could
not agree upon a mutual plan,
does not in anywise mean that
a ticket cannot be nominated
that will socure a solid united
support of both factions. Let
there be au open convention
wherp every nan can enter with
a feeling of fair play, and this
will be 'he result. There is a
general feeling among the rank

elect it. This idea will undoubt
edly prevail at the convention.
There may be a contest for state
and congressional delegates, but
advices from all parts of the
county " indicate that nothing
will detract from county interests
. There should be a full vote
polled in the coming 'county
election. 'There will be four
tickets in the field, , Republican,
Democratic, . Prohibition and
Socialist. This certainly should
provide a range of thought
sufficient to draw out everyone
entitled to a vote.
I don't see how we can . wait.
A leading Japanese paper states
that there will be no big battle
until sometime in August, . but
we will live in hopes that there
will be something doing once in
awhile before tbat date.
Don't forget to help the band
boys. Their Nutmeg Match
will be equal to many of the
professional plays, and the band
receives fifty per cent of the
proceeds which will be expend
ed for new uniforms.
$75,000 has been distributed
among the Russian sailors
prize money for the sinking of
a Japanese merchant ship at
the opening of the war.
The enforcement of the ordi
nance prohibiting stock running
at large, has produced the de-
. sired effect, Loose stock is now
the txception.
Yesterday's wind was not
pleasaut to be out in, neverthe
less its drying effects . will per
mit many plows to start.
The indications for a good
hay crop were never better at
this season of the year.
All that glitters is not gold.
