steamers turn their noses
toward America without a lot

are not only regular, but large.
Indeed,we believe we take the
entire production of certain
well-known Linen manufactur-
ers.
If there is any better way for
people to get all the advan-
tages of trading we would like
to find it out. Large dealing.
steady dealing with the creators
of fabrics, and with only the
best makers, ought surely to
put the right goods on our

We are confident that we
retail steadily through the
year Linen goods at smaller
advances over cost than the

Kansas has joined her name to the
long list of States which have passed
ballot reform laws. All OF her
Northern and Western sisters now
have such laws on their statute books,
and in all thirty-six States have
shown In this way that they believe
In protecting the ballot-box from cor
rupt agencies.
Corrupt Practices acts have also
been passed by six States These
acts have been less efficient In this
country than could have been wished,
because they have not provided the
machinery for their own enforce
ment, and because they have not lin
tied the amount Of expenditure that
may be legally made at an election
provisions that have done much in
England to purify elections
The Corrupt Practices Act recently
adopted In Missouri is the first Amer
lean law to meet these two require
ments. 1t provides process by
which a defeated candidate may bring
an action to GUST his opponent on
proof Of violation Of any Of the laws
provisions, and it also limits strictly
a candidates legal expenses.
Thus, whether he be a candidate
for Congress or for State or local Of
fee, he can spend not more than 500
where there are 5000 or fewer voters,
and constantly diminishing addi-
tional sum FOR each hundred voters
as the whole number grows larger.
The working Of this law will be
watched with great interest, as 1t
really introduces a new principle into
political legislation,
On all sides evidence multiplies
that the people of the United States
IRE seriously determined that the
will of the voters shall be expressed
unvltiated by fraud or evil influence.
