MAKE THINGS sUMMERY.

from Winter to Summer Furnish
ings with Welcome Results.

Light, pretty hangings and materials
as well to make such hangings of, have
progressed at wonderful rate, yet so
insensibly has the progress been made
that most of us are only conscious Of
it now that SO many houses put on
summer dress as matter of course.
It is q big RELIEF, even if you're only
months, to get rid of heavy hangings
I'D have shange, so far as possible,
in your sur, s'undings. It's better for
your winter things, too. for dust and
summer weather play havoc with ev-
erything; AID winter styles, unlike
those of su..mer, are rarely made with
any intentsn of putting in the tub.
If you're. going away, on the other
hand, to ,our cottage, there are a
thousand Wings to do to make it
bright an. gay, yet none that need be
expensive,

too brash-too sharp contrast. Use
instead the soft ecru shades, or, even
if the merest tint seems still too white,
Arabian co1or-a deep coffee color-is
always good, like the lace itself from
which the color takes its name, for
curtains.
This year cluny is used more than
ever before in the net curtains, white

the room you want them for-prefer-
ably white, if both go with paper and

If you use double draperies, use
white next the window, and be careful
to keep from too heavy coloring for

The legislative conscience Is an
elastic continuance; it conveniently
stretches to suit the occasion For in
stance, there are many members of a
general assembly whose vote or influ.
ence could not be purchased with
money, yet such votes can be bought
with public jobs.
In legislature the terms bribery
doodle" and graft" apply 70 transac-
lions involving the use of money Rail-
road passes and public jobs are. not
actual cash paid in hand, therefore alaw-
maker, whose vote is Influenced by the
promise of public position for himself
or one whom he names, does rot look
upon the transaction as bribery or
Doodle.
AS a matter Of fact there is no real
difference between buying vote with
money and buying a vote with job
in both cases the vote is purchased In
the campaigns conducted forthe election
of United States senators federal posi-
lions and-if the governor of the state
is candidate-state jobs are the cur
rency used to bug votes by the candi-
dates who are in and fighting to stay in
The man who wants to succeed himself
as United States senator has this ad-
vantage over his competitors: he
doesn't have to use so much actual cash
to get votes. He has back of him the
federal pay roll.
The curious thing is that no one
seems to view transaction in which
federal job is offered for vote as be-
ing particularly out of the way. In fact
most politicians look upon such deal
as eminently proper. The candidate
has the pull" therefore he has the
right to use it.
I have in mind a contest in which the
United States senator, who was candi-
date for reelection, declared if he
learned any of his competitors offered
money for vote he would take that
man before the federal grand jury and
have him indicted for bribery. This
declaration was given wide publicity
and the senator was 1auded in the news
papers and thereafter was looked upon
as man of marked integrity and high
moral attributes.
On the day when he mounted his
moral pedestal this conversation was
overheard in the headquarters of the
senator:
The SENATOR understand that you
we're In the other fellows caucus last
night.
The Legislator-Well, yes, dropped
in to see what was going on.
The Senator-Oh, then you are not
committed?
The Legislator-No, am free to vote

The SENATOR am told you've got
likely boy who wants to see little of

a good place in Puerto Rico-it pays
S1,S00 year-that can land for your
son. Do you want it for him?
The Legislator-Not for him, but |
wouldn't mind going there myself.
The SENATOR can fix that You can
have the place. Now, how do you feel
about me going back to the senate?
The Legislator-If you'll fix it so I
can go to Puerto Rico I'll vote for you.

GUS character was apparent only to men
who knew the inside Of things and
knew what effect an honest effort to
carry out the investigation demanded
would have. When the agents tele-
graphed the full resolution to their
principals they started trouble all
along the line. BY telegraph and tele-
phone, by letter and messenger, came
the orders to head off the threatened in
vestigation at any cost.
The resolution had been sent to a
committee, and this committee was con-
trolled by the legislators who were in
the deal with the railroad agents. For
a week the agents kept their principals
in suspense. Some of the roads sent
their keenest lobbyists to the state
house. Cash, spot cash, is the only
thing that can keep that resolution
from coming out of committee was
the unanimous. report of the railroad
agents, and soon the money was where
it was wanted, the syndicate divided
the profits, the resolution died in COM
mittee and the originator of the scheme
took up his 0 US and then had .
small surplus.
At times members of committees
from cities or other political districts
fail to discriminate between public and
private bills. They seem to think that
measure affecting municipality and
a bill introduced to give some one a
special privilege must travel the same
boodle-paved road. Perhaps that is
why sometimes one of the first Ques-
lions asked in committees appointed to
urge the passage of public measure
is: How much will it cost?" AS a
matter of fact partisan politics or local
jealousies are the principal factors
which enter into the problem involved
in securing the passage of bill of pub
lie import
But, as I said, some people have an
abiding conviction that no bill can pass
without the use of money. And that
was what one of the amateur lobbyists,
who came to the state capital in the
interest of public bill, had in mind
when he, unsolicited, offered one ct our
cheapest members some money to vote
for the bill at issue. Lobbying was a
novel departure for the business man
whose civic pride had carried him to
the state house. The bill in which he
was interested was in no danger of de-
feat. although he thought it was. Full
of zeal and enthusiasm he started out
on lone hunt for votes which we're not
needed.
He ran against a member who was
in the condition known as loaded"
and getting down to business told
the inebriatef lawmaker he would get
so much money il he would vote for
the bill. The legislator solemnly shook
hands on the proposition and the two
came into the house just as the clerk
legislator with a load" loudly voted
"aye" when his name was called, then
staggered to the door, took the amateur
lobbyist by the arm, dragged him
around the corner and demanded
his money. The business man tried
to explain that his bill had not come
up for a vote; that the vote just re-
corded by the lawmaker was for another
measure. But the drunken member
insisted he had voted as agreed and
made such row that the business man,
to quiet him, paid the promised amount
of money and later sat in the gallery
and saw his bill passed with such q
majority it was nearly unanimous.
