MONEY IN POLITICS.

Discussing Senator Tillman's resolu-
tion to investigate the contributions
the St Louis Globe Democrat says:
"The important point about the use OF
money in canvasses is this: Is it used
for corrupt purposes?' This is the
only question of any consequence in
connection with the employment Of
money in politics. Large sums of mon
ey are needed to run the national
campaigns in the modern style"
Is it true that large sums are need
ed to run national campaigns? Would
it not be more accurate to say that
large sums are used rather than need
ed? What is there in a modern cam
apign that should make for expense,
eliminating corruption?
Vast sums. it is understood, are eX-
pended for campaign literature, but
how much of this literature is actual
ly necessary? 1t is safe to say that
not one piece of every thousand dis
tributed is read. At the close of the
last national campaign there were
thousands of tons of printed matter
that had never been distributed. More
over, it is true that the bulk of print
ed matter is sent out under congress
sional or department franks.
Years ago there was possibly some
excuse for distributing literature.
There is none now. The newspapers
carry without charge every scrap of
information essential to a clear under
standing of issues, and heavy eXpen-
ditures for campaign orators are use
less, since there are in every cam
paign thousands of candidates avail
able for oratory. 1t is proper for can
didate to pay his own expenses. More
over, local party organizations usually
pay local expenses.
There are no doubt many legitimate
expenses which campaign committees
are called upon to meet, but after
every proper expense has been met
the aggregate is trivial compared with
the funds which have been collected
and expended in recent years
The truth is. the modern way o.
conducting campaigns has been dis
credited because of vast sums of mon
ey used for corrupt purposes. The cor
rupt elements have found that they
can get money for votes, and in GER
tain states they exact it, probably
from both sides. This is the practice
that must be stopped, and it will be
stopped when corporations are prohip
tied from contributing to campaign
funds. Campaign funds were ridicu
lously small until the corporations
came upon the s:ene. and t;rE will
be smak again when the corporations
are hinate1
duals do not contribute for
% such funds when they give
~ En money, and corporation mo
N never contributed save in the
pectation of obtaining favors in re
turn, and these favors are usually in
imical to the public welfare.
The Globe.Democrat asserts that the
democrats have been as energetic il
getting and distributing campaign
funds as have the republicans If thi.
be true, it does not afford an argu
ment why this system of modern
campaigning should be perpetuated.
The country can afford to have hon
est elections and can afford to bid'
the consequences of them.

L. c. Alumni.

From the Minneapolis Journal we
learn that a Twin Citv organization
of the alumni of Luther college has
been effected. Such an organization
can not fail to be of great service to
the COLLEGE as well as of soc il interest
to the gentlemen directly Interested.
Saws the Journl Seventy-five alumni
of Luther college, DEBORAH, Iowa,
have perfected the organization of a
Twin City Luther College Club.
Joseph Brorby was elected president.
g.. b. Wollan, vice president, and
Theodore Brusegaard, secretary and
treasurer. Right Rev. Wilhelm
Koren, president of the Norwegian
Lutheran Synod of America, was
present and was elected the first

The 4th Annual Corn Contest.

The fourth annual corn contest given
by the Square Dealing clothier, Ben
Bear, was held last Saturday, with
seventv-six contestants entered.
Mr.. Bear had selected three of the
best and most competent judges he
could find, who after a careful in
spection of the large display of the
four best ears entered by the many
contestants awarded the first prize of
$40 in gold to Walter Drake, Of De-
corah township, and the second prize
of s. in gold to Henry Ness, of
Glenwood township. The imm ense
display of the golden corn along the
east side of the Square Dealing store
was the scene of large crowd all day
long, and comments were many on the
excellent quality of the corn that
staid old Winneshiek has grown forth
this year. Entries were in from
every section of the county, and de-
monstrated beyond doubt that the
corn crop of 1905 is all that could be
desired. Interest in these annual
contests seems not to abate in the
least, but become more interesting
and spirited each year.
Following is the report of the judges ::
We. the undersigned, having been
appointed as judges>of the Ben Bear
corn contest for 1905, find that all
corn entered this season is of very
superior quality, and it was difficult
for us to decide what entries were the
best. After careful examination OF
all the entries we found No.67 entered
by Mr.. Walter Drake, entitled to first
prize, and No. 30 entered by Mr..
Henry Ness entitled to second prize.
The following entries deserve special
mention: Lasse Vangsness, Entry

Senator AIIison's First Visit to Iowa.

In his response to an. address at a
meeting of the Dubuque Business
Mems Club held in his honor. Senator
w. b. Allison made the following
allusion to his first visit to the state
When / came here first in 1856 on a
visit there was not mile of railway
west of the Mississippi river except
at Davenport, possibly a few miles at
Burlington. My first trip was to the
northern part of this state by boat
to Lansing and then by stage out to
DEBORAH, and then back to Lansing.
and taking the last boat down before
the close of the season. When l came
here first, the population of Iowa
numbered about 600, 900. Now it is
four fold that number, and doubt if
there can be found in another state a
purer citizenship or purer or prouder
set of men than those who control
the affairs of Iowa.

my Wife's Family is the title
of merry musical conceit written by
Stephens & Linton. which comes 10
the Grand next Monday night. This
farce met with immediate success
when presented last season and is
duplicating tJat success again this
year wherever seen. The story, which
is clever one, tells Of the trials
and tribulations of young married
man endeavoring to rid himselfsof his
mother in-law and his wife's relatives.
he resorts to everything except muir
der to accomplish that purpose, and
as can be imagined the many mix-ups
and funny complications which ensue,
furnish plenty of ludicrous situations
and laughable success.
The cast employed. in the interpreta-
tion of the merry musical melange is
one of the best entour, including as it
does some of the best farceurs ON the
comedy stage. There is no end of
bright comedy lines, catchy musical
and dance numbers, while there is a
long string of vaudeville specialties
interpolated by members of the com.
pany.
