ing warns a constituents blood more
quickly than a good job with good pay.
SO it happens that no matter how loudly
the average congressman may shout for
economy in the abstract, or how mig
gardly he NAV deal in the matter of gen
eral appropriations, like those for the
navy OF for the Indians, when he comes
to the river and harbor bill he is
apt to be quite exuberant in his
penevolence. 1t may not appear to
him a matter of deep consequence
whether the navy is increased, or whether
more Indian schools are established,
but the deepening of Shallow Creek in
his district is a matter which lies close to
his heart, and it assumes the highest i'm
portance in his estimation. When it is
remembered that there are in every
House several scores of men who are of
this way of thinking, all the mystery of
the huge river and harbor bills disap-
pears. Very likely good many of these
men do not look with favor on all the
appropriations which are put into the
bill, but they vote for them on the ground
that it is necessary in order to get the ap-
preparations for their own districts
through, which of course they always
look upon as meritorious and proper, to
vote for some others that do not fully
meet their appreciation. Thus by sys-
tenn of log rolling indefensible appropri-
ations are carried through, along with
those that are defensible and that the
interests of the country really demand.
That considerable part of the money
appropriated under this bill is wasted is
generally admitted. Yet how to elimin-
ate the wasteful appropriations without
sacrificing at the same time those which
are actually demanded by the interests
and needs of the country is problem
very difficult of solution. The Presi-
dent might be authorized to veto sepa-
rate items in the bill, but Congress would
probably object to that as placing alto
gether too much power in the hands of
the executive. Eventually, however,
some method of restricting the lavish
ness of this bill will have to be found, for
the evil constantly growing and sooner
or later public sentiment will demand a
halt

1t should be borne in mind that this
year the ballots used at elections are to
be printed by the state and that no other
ballots will be allowed. Under the Aus
tralian law sworn certificates of the nom
ination of candidates and of their accep-
lance must be filed with the Secretary of
State at least twenty days before cleo
ton in order to insure the printing of
the names of candidates upon the ballots
This necessitates the holding of all nom
mating conventions more than twenty
days before the day Of election and i'm
poses upon the officers of such conven-
ton the responsible duty of informing
the Secretary of State under oath what
persons the conventions have nominated.
To avoid all danger of failure conven-
tons should be held early and the ofic-
ers of them thoroughly instructed in
their duties. The law is simple and it's
requirements easily obeyed. but unless
great vigilance is exercised some of it's
provisions are liable to be unheeded.
