The amount Of money collected in this
country for campaign funds is enormous.
such funds are collected by all the politi-
cal parties. for use in municipal. county.
state and national elections.
II is not usual TO keep an account book
showing how much money is collected OF
how IL is distributed. Those who have
the distribution OF ii are supposed TO be
honest. and whatever report is made by
them is generally accepted without ques-
ton.
But are they honest in the majority Of
cases? That is a question TO which no
satisfactory answer can be given. Ii would
be a difficult matter to prove they arc
not. and those who contribute the money
are not sufficiently interested. as a rule.
TO demand a detailed statement. II is
pretty safe to say. however. that the cam
paign fund is not in an cases put 10 the
use for which it was intended by those
who provided it.
A large-sized scandal growing out Of
campaign fund. is at present an interest
ing topic in Chicago. At a meeting last
Monday night Of the executive commit
tee Of the democratic party Of the county
in which Chicago is situated Mr.. NJ. c.
Mcdonald, a prominent democrat declar-
cd that during the last two years 1oout
$4,000, collected from various sources
for a campaign fund. 10 be used by the
democratic party to advance its inter
ests, had not all been used for party pur-
poses, but that much Of it had been spent
in trips to pleasure resorts. European tours
and in building expensive houses by the
men who had the handing of the money.
Nobody, as far as we have seen, has risen
up and denied Mr.. McDonald's charge;
from which fact it is fair TO infer that
it is true.
Tt is not a violent assumption that the
Chicago politicians who. it is alleged,
put something more than half a million
dollars in their pockets within two years,
are not the only ones who have appropria-
ted campaign funds. 1t is highly probable
that there are plenty Of such men in all
parts OF the country. They are in no
danger of being prosecuted, because it
would be about impossible to prove their
guilt, and prosecution would only make a
scandal, something that no party leader
wants. The charge that Mcdonald makes
however, will have a tendency to make
campaign contributions more difficult to
get. Party men viii not go down into
their pockets to assist their respective
parties if they have reason to think their
money win go to enrich lot of small fry
politicians.

false statement to the counter, and the
fine scorn with which he dismisses her
as being young chit unworthy of a poets
contemplation.

however. touched his heart of hearts. Her
name was Eula, and she had a sister
Eunita. 1t took genius to think up those
names. They lived in a cottage by the

for time, but adverse fate drained the
bank account. An ordinary poet would

The information comes through our es-
teemed contemporary, the Hartwell (Ga)
Sun, that woman Of Hartwell has in
vented an apparatus which may set ali
the world agog, and add immensely to the
pleasures of life. The apparatus, to de-
scribe it in language Invested of all
technicalities, is a snore diverter. It is
constructed of a sort of hood and various
sections of flexible pipe. In action, the
hood is lowered over the head of the
snorer, and the pipes conduct the sound
and the vibrations to the cellar. So far
the inventor has made use Of the diverted
snore only for the purpose of Kidding
her house Of rats. It is asserted by the
Hartwel Sun that there hasn't been a
rat in the house since the diverter was
put into operation, the husband Of the
inventor furnishing the snore to be di-
verted.
Edison, Nlsola Tesla and Kelley of mo-
tor fame all tell us that the secret of power
is vibration or oscillation. Tesla is build
ing a wonderful osclllator which is to
oscillate at the rate of some millions OF
beats per minute and furnish all the power
that may be demanded of it, at low
rate of cost. Mr.. Edison has demonstrat-
ed in his various inventions what an i'm
portant principal in mechanics the vibra-
ton is. Mr.. Kelley of Philadelphia has
been for twenty years or more chasing
a series of vibrations and oscillations for
the purpose of fitting his wonderful motor
TO their requirements. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that vibrations and oscillations.
no matter what their source, are not to
be sneezed at, but to be conserved and
utilized whenever possible. And, as every
body knows without being told, there Is
nothing that produces more vibrations
good, sharp, rasping vibrations-per sec
ond than a healthy snore, especially if
the snorer is a well-fed man.
Is goes without saying, then, that
the Hartwell woman has taken the first
step toward giving the mechanical world
a new power, and the domestic world
a new labor-saving apparatus. A shore
motor, charged with energy from vibra-
lions stored in the cellar with the aid of
the snore diverter. could be made.to grind
the coffee, run the fly fans and rock the
cradle. Indeed, the field of usefulness
Of a snore motor would be well-nigh limit
less. 1t is to be hoped that the Hartwell
woman will pursue the thread of her
genius, and bring the snore diverter up
TO its highest state of perfection. Fright
ening rats is merely a beginning. 1t is
a good one however.
