ORANDLERs Reform BILL

Senator Chandler, OF New Hampshire, 10
the author of bill ITO prohibit corpora
tons from making money contributions in
connection with political elections" This
measure has been reported favorably by the
Senate Committee on Privileges and EIec
tions. 1t provides that "it shall be unlawful
for any national bank or any corporation en-
gagged in interstate or foreign commerce, or
any corporation organized by authority of
any laws of Congress, To make q money
ton TO amy political Office" The corpora
tion violating the law Is liable to fine Of
5000, while "every stakeholder, officer,
director or empioye oil any corporation who
shall consent to any contribution by the
corporation In violation Of the foregoing
provisions shall be subject TO nne of not
exceeding $1,000" 1t is good thing for
Mr.. Mckinley that there was no such law
In force after bis nomination Tor second
term, for without the generous assistance OF
the corporations he might not have been re
elected.
Senator Chandler has been Republican
all his life, but his devotion to the party did
not count In his favor when the corpora
tons in New Hampshire decided to retire
him TO private life. His bill is a good one,
but II is to be feared IL will not receive the
support OF the Republican majority In Con-
gress. Without "money contributions" from
the corporations the "Grand Old Party"
would soon fiDd itself in . sad plight The
trusts would no longer dictate legislation;
the tariff would be amended TO protect the
interests OF the people; indeed, there would
be revelation in legislation and In the meth
DDS OF administering the government. Such
a law honestly enforced would drive the Re
publican party out Of business or accom-
pish its complete reformation. II Is to be
hoped that Senator Chambers bill may re-
celve favorable consideration, but II lie hard.

sign Its death warrant

is unique because II has no pretence Of any kind
OF amusement about it, and also because IT is
completely finished and ready. 1t is the building
devoted to infant incubators. There are six
babies living in little glass cases in 1t just now.
People do not understand much about infant In
cubetors at present, and this exhibit is meant
to teach them. The broad fact laid down is that
of the sort of babies here taken care of, 50 per
cent live with the help of the incubators, and
become strong and healthy, while without the
incubators 70 per cent would die.
This is not, of course. anything like complete
description of the Midway. 1t has many other
features ranging from the deeply chronological
to the purely gay, but these are, perhaps, enough
prove that IL is an interesting street. even in
its present partially developed condition. You

Another Shooting.

j. Mcintosh, early Wednesday morn
ing while the stars were still twinkling,
under the influence of drink. shot at a
stranger ON Main street, and, AS the
story is told, without provocation.
Mr.. Mcintosh was arrested on com
plaint Of assault with a deadly weapon
with intent TO do great bodily harm, y
and was taken before Judge Sample for
hearing. The stranger having left town
aid the evidence being Insufficient to
hold him on that charge, he was dis
charged but WAS rearrested on com
plant for violating a village ordinance
and WAS fined 800.
The occuranee is regrettable for more
reasons than one. Our people are grow
ing restive under such acts and their
murmnrings are not to be interpreted
as insignificant and meaningless.
Shooting at men for amusement is
not OF the kind desired by visitors or
by law-abiding citizens and, most seri-
ously, Blackfoot is not TO be converted
into n shooting gallery with men as
targets.
