MAY- BELLE GEORGE, Wor- thy Matron; FANNY Dr. Geo. L. Barton CHIROPRACTOR Hellenthal Building — ought to have proceeded years ago when William 8. Vare presented a certificate of election as United States Senator from the Governor of Pennsylvania. There is no question but that Mr. Grundy is a citizen of the United States and that he was regu- larly appointed. There was no question but that Mr. Vare was a citizen of the United States and the certificate of Gov. Pinchot said he was regu- larly elected. Mr. Vare was not refused a seat in the Senate on account of eny irregularity of any kind in con- nection with his election. Fraud was charged in the contest by Wiliam B. Wilson, the Democrat who ran against him, but the Senate rejected the con- test by an overwhelming majority. It then removed him because too much money had been spent to secure his nomination in the Republican primary. The amount was about $780,000. In the same pri- mary there was expended for one of his oppon- ents $1,800000 and a half million or more Wwas spent in behalf of another. It was the famous— or infamous—"“Three-million-dollar primary.” Some of the ablest lawyers in the Senate, in- cluding Senator Borah and several Democrats, be- lieved that Mr. Vare, as a matter of law and right, ought to have been permitted to take his seat. Then it would have been in order for the Senate to have expelled him if it had believed that it be| its duty. Under the rule that was followed the credentials of no Senator are a guarantee that he will be permitted to occupy a seat in the Senate. If Ben Wade and Thad Stevens had thought of the plan that was adopted to keep Mr. Vare out of the Senate there is no question but that Presi- dent Johnson would have been removed from office under the impeachment charges. The majority, in the temper then prevailing, would not have hesi- tated to deny Senators their seats in order to de- prive them of votes on a partisan question. The Vare precedent was dangerous and it is probably fortunate that the Senate has had a chance to reverse it so soon. Individual States and minorities have rights that ought to be respected. The Senate Chamber is no place for mob rule. SHORT CUTS TO PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT. The National Christian Forum not long ago adopted a resolution demanding that Congress deny entrance to the United States mails to any news- paper that opposes Prohibition or prints editorials, paragraphs or cartoons the tendency of which is to make Prohibition ridiculous or contemptuous. At least one denominational paper has been discovered by the Oklahoma Oklahoman that endorses the proposal. We would suggest a more direct way of reach- ing the desired point. Why not have the Consti- tution amended so that Congress might disfranchise all the voters except such as favor Prohibition? There would be the best of precedents for that sort Men’s Pendleton Blazers, $14.50 va Men’s Suits and Overcoats Men’s Fancy Dress Hose, $1.25 vulch;.”iruir .
