Ohio sometimes goes Democratic in off years, but such a thing is not likely to happen this time. Unless machine politics and the corrupting influence of money have more power in Ohio than in any other part of the Union, the con- test is going to be a walkover for the Republicans or something very much like it who would recommend the necessary amendments to the Federal constitution to enable legislation against the trusts. This is an admission that there is a con- stitutional lack, and, if so, what becomes of his attack on the Republicans for not exerting a power which he confesses has no constitutional existence? In one of his al fresco speeches in Nevada this week he made another proposition to the effect that trusts should be compelled to pay for a Federal license to do business. A license is a form of taxation. The constitution accurately the forms under which Congress may levy taxes.

That agitation soon died out, but now since the revelations concerning the conviction of Dreyfus show how im- portant it is to the innocent to have the right of appeal from conviction, the issue has been taken up anew and this time the reformers may be successful in their efforts.
