AN EMBARRASSING STATUTE.
Why Both Liquor League and Antl-Sa.
loon League WIN Work In Harmony
for the Repeal Of the Garfield
Elections Law
By BER e. WILLIAMSON.
(Staff Correspondent.)

NSt8H COrrespOndent.)
Columbus, Dec. 9.-The Garfield cor
rupt practices act has been discussed
and cussed by politicians in Ohio. but
they have thus far been unable to
work up any great amount Of sentiment
against 1t. The majority of people
have decided that II the politicians do
not like the law 1t must be good
thing, and they favor permitting 1t to
remain ON the statute books. 1t has
been assailed every year and this year
more than ever, but in the country
precincts man is able to keep his
expense account within bounds. hence
there is no material objection to the
law among the country members, and
its repeal would seem difficult, for that
reason alone.
But the law is to be assailed in the
next session of the legislature, and
some surprise will be occasioned to
know that the proposition to repeal
the law, or 30 modify 1t as to make It
practically imperative, will get aid
from a source that has heretofore been
insisting that the law stand as a mat
ted Of reform. Two prominent Ohio
organizations, whose interests are in
imical, will go hand In hand in this
matter, II they desire to keep within
the statutes hereafter without telling
what they spend and for what they
spent 1t. These organizations are thu
liquor league and the Anti-Saloon lea
que. Under the Garfield law there II
no question whatever but that these
organizations, that openly take a hand
In politics. are amenable.
| The question has never been raised
since the law has been passed. and thii
Is the first time 1t has been brought
into question. but 1t is so plain a prop
osition that the wonder is somebodJ
had not noticed 1t heretofore.
Section IA of the special act to pre-
vent corrupt practice at elections
which is an amendment to the regula
election laws. reads as follows:
Every two or more persons VIII
shall be elected. appointed. chosen o

tee Is made elsewhere In the law, and
is too well understood to require fur
ther enlargement here. .a ~
The penalty for disobeying the plain
provisions of the statute is fine of
not less than 500 nor more than $500.
or Imprisonment for not less than ten
nor more than 80 days, or. both.
Under the section quoted 1t cannot
be denied that both the Anti Saloon
league and the liquor league are polit-
ical committees within the meaning of
the act. The Anti-Saloon league raises
money by subscription and uses 1t ito
further or defeat the nomination or
election" of candidates on various
tickets. Its leaders make no denial
that that is their special business. They
declare In the pulpits they occupy from
time to time that their plan of cam
paiaM Is to get the right kind of peo-
pie In Office. SO as to get such legisla-
tion as they want. The liquor league
also spends money, at times, to further
or defeat the nomination or. election"
of certain candidates. That both of
these organizations ought to make a
report under the Garfield law. is
patent to anyone who can read En-
glish.
They would not desire to make this
accounting. The liquor league Is ad-
verse, to having It's Affairs known. and
the Anti-Saloon league was never
known to make an accounting of It's
doings. 1t solicits money each year
from various persons in every part
of the state, and there are persons
who have contributed each year for
several years, but no statement ever
reaches them as to how much money
has BEEN spent. They know that there
are q number of well fed gentlemen
about the state who are termed as su-
perintendents. and who get, evidently,
very comfortable salaries. but how
much they get and what they do with
the additional money they raise. is not
known. slt NH
Secretary of State Laylin has been
| seen about the matter and Is clearly oil
opinion that the law applies to such
organizations. The matter is not with.

the number IS large. The books are
on all subjects and are open to the use
of all students. A card-catalogue is
now being made, which when COM

CATER ALL" soothly says the At
lsnta Constitution, ''human nature all
over the world is much the same.
From the state of Wisconsin comes a
telegram stating that MRS. Fred
Hodge, a farmers wife residing near
Oxford, was assaulted by two masked
men while returning from the field.
1t is feared she will die. The enraged
farmers have formed bands and are
securing the surrounding country for
the assailants.' So 1t seems that an
assault upon the home meets with the
same ready indignation in Wisconsin
that it does in Georgia. The home Is
the center of mans highest loyalty
and obligation. An attack upon one
is an attack upon all, and MOI until
that sacred place is absolutely free from
intrusion do men feel in a mood to be
calm and deIiberative. In fact their
very determination to uphold the sa-
credness of home at every cost. is the
very highest form-the concentration
of deliberate resolve"

THERE Is one man on the P0st-Dts-
patch editorial staff, who knows a hawk
from a hernshaw. Hear him: "As
long as we have such an abundance OF
what may be called skirt literature,
there need be no fear OF woman nsurp-
ing mans place. Skirt literature Is
fashion news, and nine-tenths of the
fashion news is about woman's frills,
~rufies, plaits, Innings, insertions,
trimmings, color-effects and SO on, ad
infnitum. There is q little sprink-
ling of male fashion news-awfully
dry stuff, destitute of the charm which
inheres in true skirt literature. For
example, q bit of advice in a really
good skirt article is When you plan a
new gown, begin with your p~etticoats.'
There is mystery and magic in this.
You could not pick out q sentence that
would thrill in all the male fashion
news and jottings ever penned. 1t is
the dearest Of women who take most
interest in skirt literature. No man
oil heart would deprive them of the
pleasure, which Is greater than the
mind of a mere man can conceive"
