EVADE ELECTION Law.
Candidates Who Ignored Corrupt
Practices Act Fined Fifty Cents.

New Haven, Conn, Dec An Hamden this
afternoon fifteen local candidates for office in
the last town election who failed to obey the
new Corrupt Practices act and file statements of
election expenses were brought before the town
court and pleaded guilty.
w. F. Downer, the prosecuting attorney, Sc
verely criticised the Corrupt Practices act and
those who were instrumental in enforcing it's
provisions against small town candidates for
office and stated that he brought the prose-
cutions only because he obliged to. He
recommended that the court fine the delinquents
so cents each and costs. and then remit the
costs which done.
The penalty in the law is $25 day for each
day after the limit of time expires and the
Hamden fines to-day are the smallest levied in
any of the towns where these prosecutions have
been brought As the costs We're RENTED by
the court the town will shoulder the expense of
the prosecution This made as light as
pessible by including all of the candidates in
one warrant.
The prosecuting attorney said to-day:
What do think of these prosecutions? They
are an outrage and the Corrupt Practices act
is q rotten law. The hackers Of the law are

There may be some good points IN the law, put
there's too much of it, and nobody understands
it. All of the small towns, as far as have
been informed, hot over the law, ana, marx

The government ownership of rail-
ways and street car lines is receiving
renewed consideration on the victory
of Judge Dunno for the mayoralty of
Chicago. He is committed to the plan
of immediate assumption of owner
ship of the street railways of that city,
and his course will be watched with
considerable interest by thoseIwho are
making a study of this subject. The
mayor-elect recently spoke in New
York at a meeting where VIM. r.
Hearst was the principle figure. AS
might have been expected Mr.. Hearst
seizes upon the victory of Dunno as a
propitious event for the promotion of
his campaign for mayor of New York.
The interest in this subject created by
the campaign in Chicago it is thought
can in part be transmitted to New
York to aid in the political advance
ment of the newspaper magnate who
aspires to the leadership of the demo.
cratic party, at least in the east.

Speaking.of congressional districts
the 10th district of Iowa is unique in
many respects. 1t is one of the most
populous districts in the country, and
we doubt not ranks first in the number
and personel of its public citizens. 1t
boasts of a U. 5. Senator, Secretary
of the U. S. Treasusy, a Congressman,
Director of the Mint. Solicitor of
the Treasury, and numerous minor
officials. 1t contains a population and
miteral ,developement more uniform
ly excellent than that of any other
portion of the earth. 1t is tainted with
less crime and political corruption
than any other equal area of the
civilized world. This may seem ex-
travagant, but we think the facts war;
rant the claims herein made.

Senator Deliver has attracted some
attention of late by his assertion that
civilization and mud have always
been companions. Our old friend.
Hon. A. D. Bicknell, of Humboldt,
Iowa, who is scientist and scholar
of more than ordinary scope and pro-
fundity, recently published an article
in the Des Moines 'Mail and Times, -
in which he maintains that Civilization
is a child of the desert. His article is
supported by numerous historical
references, which tend to show that
the exigencies of desert life have gen.
Grated and developed mental traits
which go to make the foundation of
modern civilization. AS to the cor
rectness of these respective theories
we leave that to those whose knowledge
of history warrants a conclusion in
the premises. Suffice it for us to OBJ
serve that the highest civilization of
modern times i S established on the
rich and productive mud" of Iowa
and similar regions.
