the disbursements of subsequent cam
paigns. Why it should have taken
100000 to reflect President McKin-
ley, or $3,50o,000 as is alleged to elect
Mr.. Roosevelt, will remain mystery.
The history Of campaign funds is
mysterious enough. There is little that
is creditable to either national party in
the reliance upon money to bring about
intellectual decisions. But while the
system Of contributions is not to be ad-
mired. and while we are glad we are
come to a point where campaign contri-
buttons must be open and their use
public, we should make mistake in
yielding to the suggestion Of the muck
rakers that we have had no honest cam
paigns 3D..
Everybody knows that we have been
too free and easy about allowing de-
signing men to make use Of money in
politics, yet we are confident that it
has been largely case of fool and
his money parted. The people made
the decisions after all, Independently Of
the money bags.

Free Seeds.

The reinsertion Of the free-seed graft
in the agricultural appropriation bill is
a tribute to the efficiency Of logro1ling
in the house. Probably one-half Of the
members who receive free seeds have
no earthly use for them, but they voted
for the graft after having been shown
that some members did have use for the
seeds and having been instructed that
they might exchange their seed quota
with some other member for different
kind of graft. The city member, for
example, could use more copies of the
Congressional Record or more copies Of
other publications, while his constitu-
ents living in flats have little or no use
for free seeds. So the exchange IS
agreed upon and the graft goes merrily
forward. It is a good deal like the
pairing graft. That is a scheme where
by a member may appear to. be per-
forming his legislative duties, while, as
matter Of fact, he is absent on some
private business.

The President VS.. Aldrich,

The gossip of Washington suggests
that President Roosevelt has known
since the beginning of his second ad-
ministration that he could never &C.
complish anything of Importance until
he had dethroned Aldrich in the senate.
That he has done this begins to be con-
ceded. The adroitness with which the
president has Unanswered the rate bill
and the generalship with which he
massed his heavy artillery, the first gun
of which was the Garfield report, and
the second his special message to con-
gress upon that report, have, it is said
put the Standard Oil senator in a state
Of mind far from enviable. The men
who were formerly relied upon to dc
Aldrich s bidding are now recalcitrant
They are either with the president OF
they have heard from their constituents
so Enthusiastically that they find it inex
pedient to be with Mr. Aldrich.
The senator from Rhode Island has
heretofore been able to smother good
| many measures by merely letting it be
understood that the party would be en-
dangered by their consideration. H,
has stood off tariff revision by this ia
miliar threat. But now he finds the
shoe Is on the other foot, and he i!
| being told that if the senate funks OF
the rate bill or declines to take up tn.
alcohol bill, the prospects Of many mem
bers Of the lower house for reelection
are greatly lessened. He is being asked
on all sides to say what he will do TO-
the republican party and for the mem
bers who have been 50 cheaply obedien
to him for so long.
1t is up to Aldrich. Nobody can den.
that he is in an uncomfortable position
face to face with bill which will re
lieve the country Of the tyranny 0
Standard Oil made rates and anothe
which will relieve the country Of tn
tyranny Of Standard Oil monopoly O
the instruments of light, heat an
power. There are sympathizers wit
Aldrich, the senator, who should hav
no other motive than the effecting 0
legislation for the good Of the people
There are just as few for Aldrich, tn
lobbyist, for every right-thinking ma
likes to see lobbyist caught like
rat in trap.

Money in Politics.

CONGRESSMAN Sulzer recently reported
on the floor of the house some figures On
the cost of presidential campaigns. He
did not vouch for the absolute correct
ness of the figures, but guaranteed that
they were substantially accurate. These
figures are very likely largely apochry-
phal, for we have little reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Sulzer Or anybody else
can fix the cost of Lincoln s first cam
paign at 100000. or that Of Mckinley
at $16,O00000. One is probably as wild
guess as the other.
There has always been tendency to
grossly exaggerate tho campaign contri-
buttons of 1896. They have been
stated at all the way from 100000 to
$17,0OO0OO. All we know definitely
about them is that they were the larg-
/. est in the history of the country. But
the overstatement Of the amount is not
the most reckless thing about the histo-
! rians of this campaign fund. They ex-
aggerate the amount, it is true, but they
do it with more sinister purpose-to
have the inference drawn that the
whole sum was spent in corruption and
that therefore the electorate was de-
bauched and the election was not an
(: expression Of the sentiments of the peo
pie. ...s
Nothing could be more unfair. AS a
matter Of the fact no campaign in the
history of our presidential politics was
less free from the ordinary methods OF
reaching the people. The campaign
fund, whatever it was, was spent in the
open. 1t went almost entirely fol
printed arguments on the money ques
ton and for the expenses Of speakers
who presented arguments orally. What
ever may have been the faults of thu
late Mark Hanna as politician he wa
not co1rGptionist. He had neve:
been allied with that side Of our poll
tics. He was a square dealing, opel
individual and we do not doubt that nj
could have given much cleaner ac
count of the contributions Of 1896 thar
could German of the millions disburset
by him in 1892.
1t is not the size of the campaign
fund Of 1896 which is SO surprising d

Garfield Report as Evidence.

The Garfield report on Standard Oil
proves the strongest piece OF evidence
vet given to congress in support Of the
railroad-rate bill With his keen sense
/ of dramatic effect, President Roosevelt
has held it for the climax. The report
Is a complete answer to the argument
: that present laws are sufficient and that
.. rebates are the only serious evil 1or
the authorities to consider.
The real point Of the report is apt
to be missed in dwelling on the rebate
disclosures. They show that the Stand
: ard has profted at least $4,000 year
; hy rebates. All these are given in d.
, rect violation Of the present law and
! may be punished. Rebates are baga-
: telle, however, compared with the adj
vantages enjoyed on open rates from
! the Standards refneries. Mr.. Garfield
finds that the refinery at Whiting en-
Joys a difference Of from l to II cents
a hundred pounds in favor of it's prod
! uct and against the product Of independ-
ent refneries shipped similar distances
: There is no explanation of these rates
except the one that holds good for re-
bates. They are forced on the rail-
roads by Standard Oil. In many cases
tariff rate is enjoyed secretly by the
trust. For instance, the tariff rate from
Whiting to Birmingham, Ind, is A
cents hundred, but by a secret com
bination of rates over one route the
Standard ships for 291a cents. The In
dependent refinery at Toledo pays Al
cents on the same distance. This is
not q rebate, and not contrary to law
as the SNUG Rogers most virtuously
maintains. 1t is just as wrong morally
and economically~as a rebate, and, not
being illegal. the law should make it so
This preference in rates has built the
Standard g monopoly, and the consumer
has had no benefit. In New England, a:
the report shows, competition has beer
stifed and the public has been ble6
100000 or 100000 year in excessive
prices because the Standards competi
tors could not get a joint rate owe
New England roads.
The lesson of the report is plain. Al
, interstate commerce commission witt
: power to act would put an end to thes
determinations in the shortest posslbl
time. They can have no real defense.

LIFE OF ANDREw JACK.

WATsoN's LIFE OF ANDREW JACK
SoN.-Thomas e. Watson has practically
completed his new work, 1.-THE Life and
Times Of Andrew Jackson" on which he
has been employed for some time. Mr..
Watson has established his place among
the historians by his Life and Times of
Thomas Jefferson '"The Story of
France" and Life of Napoleon and the
present volume will attract more than
usual attention. There has been in nearly
all histories Of the United States a per-
ststent and remarkable tendency to en-
phasize out Of all proportion the part
played by New England and to minimize
the accomplishment and influence of the
rest of the thirteen colonies and the ter
ritory later acquired In his life of Jack
son Mr.. Watson is said to go far toward
remedying this defect and creating a
more just balance in the treatment of men
and events. 1t will begin as serial this
summer in Watson's Magazine, of which
Mr.. Watson is editor.

A New Official.

The new code gives county commits
sioners authority to create and fill a
new office. that Of county supervisor
Of assessments. The duty of such an
official is to direct the work of the
assessors and see that property is fully
and equitably listed.
This change has been little noticed.
It fills about the same function as a
county assessor, which office has been
the subject of unsuccessful bills before
the legislature at every recent session.
It is optional with each county, and it
is to be hoped that several counties
in the state will give the idea trial
this year. A county officer will be a
little more remote from local influence
and may accomplish some good results
He will not fill the bill entirely, how.
ever. The county commissioners hold
office by political power, and the man
| they select will not be free lance
He will be subject more or less to Local
influence. If appointed by a state tax
commission, and responsible to that
body, he would be in position tc
ignore local pressure. If personal prop
| erty taxation for state purposes is tc
continue, then the state needs a tax
| commission with machinery to reach
every locality and interest in the state

ADJUSTMENTS
BIjou-"When the World Sleeps"


The world should never sleep if such
doings as are pictured by Langdon Nc
Cormick and Lawrence Marston in their
joint creation, when the World Sleeps"
are thereby made possible. One is led to
believe after witnessing the narrowing
performance that it was created when the
world and its writers were both very
sound asleep, and that the vision, as the
poet sings, "came of pie not piety." A
diet composed Of mince pie, chop suey,
picked tripe and generous 1ibations Of
"forty-rod' taken Immediately before re-
firing, must have been resorted to.
The fact that plot, lines and action de-
pict life as 1t is not, that everything from
the villainy to the impossible comedy Is
overdrawn, does not prevent the audience
from going to 1t with enthusiasm and
picking itself to saturation in its impos-
sibilites The "cussedness'' begins to de-
velop so early in the game and keeps
coming 50 strong that it finally gets the
best of even the most hardened melo-
drama Thereafter, and in his confusion he
sometimes fails to come out of his colly-
wobbles in time to herald the triumph Of
the heroic forces over the corps of viii
lains. 1t is so thrilling it is paralyzing.
The production carries some elabora te
effects and heavy set-ups. These are ef-
fectively used to an accompantm ent Of
nickel plated revolvers, knives. red fire
and smoke much to the delight Of the
gallery, and even the rest Of the house.
The company is not remarkable, but it
has no difficulty in fulfilling the require
ments of when the World Sleeps" To
the credit of several of the company, 1t
may be said that they do not actually
break down and laugh in the middle of
their absurd and impossible lines. Edwin
McKim. as hero Mol, has hard work in
this respect, but manages to keep a
straight face, tho he twice showed signs
of collapse. The work Of Charles Wirth
as Groom. a half-witted boy, a part that
| is unpleasant and out Of place on any
stage, is nevertheless effective, and arouses
the real pity Of the audience. s
Tho the comedy Is somewhat disjointed
it has many hearty laughs and serves to
| lift the gloom Of depressing villainy. Those
who enjoy the impossibilties and sud-
den transitions of melodrama will find en-
tertainment to their liking at the. Bitor

It is stated by the Nebraska papers
that the chief obstacle to raising sugar
beets in that state was the danger of
heavy rains just as the beet was ma
turing. The beet, finding it easier, filed
up on water instead of extracting
sugar from the soil. For this reason
irrigated lands are better for the indus
try. The water can then be fed out
in the proper quantities.

KEEPING THE PRICE UP
Kansas City Star,

Lumber should be a cheap commodity,
no matter from what source it comes, for
it is used to vast extent in building and
for other purposes. But it would be a
blessing if more If the lumber used in the
United States came from Canada and
Mexico and less from American forests,
which are being depleted at an alarming
rate, endangering the rainfall Of the
country. Yet there are high duties on
both steel and lumber
