ical immodesty, he takes advantage OF
legal technicality to have his name
placed on the Republican primary
ballot.
1t is hoped that some of The legisla-
ton suggested by Senator La Toilette
in the interest of the people may be
carried through the next congress. The
Third District will lessen the chances
of such a result with Babcock as her
representative. He has said nothing
and done nothing to show that he has
changed in mind or disposition in the
two years that have elapsed since ne
posed as the bell-wether bolter, leader
of the Estate wide fight" against La
Toilette, and special champion of cor
poration interests.
In important respects d. 0. Mahoney
is what Babcock is not. Mr.. Mahoney
is one of the people of the district, from
boyhood his home has been among them,
his every interest is here. He is liberal
ly educated, through his own efforts;
he is well informed on subjects of pub
lie concern, and is a forceful public
speaker His personal habits and char
acter are beyond criticism, and his in
tegrity is unquestioned. Politically his
course has been steadfastly in line with
the progressive element of the repub-
lican party of the state through the
contests of the past decade. He is "a
man Of convictions, with courage to
maintain them and ability to defend
them" AS representative in congress
his votes and influence would be for
legislation to secure Equal rights to
all and special privileges to none. "

CORPORATION Gifts UnIa WfuI.

In six states, Wisconsin, Texas, Flor
ida, Kentucky, Missouri and Nebraska,
gifts from corporations for campaign
funds are unlawful, and heavy penal
ties have been attached to violation
Twelve states, of which Wisconsin is
one, require candidates to file sworn
statements of their campaign expenses.
Twenty states have legislated
against election BETS thirty against
giving away liquor on election day; and
forty four against various kinds of brib-
cry for the purpose of influencing votes.
THE LAW IN WISCONSIN
In Wisconsin the penalty for bribery
at any election is Imprisonment; and at
any caucus or preliminary meeting, fine
or Imprisonment or both. Conviction Of
bribery excludes from right of suffrage
unless restored to civil rights. Office OBJ
tanned by bribery is to be deemed va
cant, according to law. A fine and loss
of vote is the punishment for betting
on an election. The amendments made
last year provide prohibition of contri-
buttons of money to aid the nomination
or election of legislators by non-resi-
dents of the district, with an imprison-
ment penalty for violation. This does
not apply to payment of his own expen-
SEES by candidate, or to contributions
to committees. Every candidate must
file a sworn statement showing each
item larger than SIS contributed dis
bursed, or promised by him or others
in his behalf, with dates of expenditure,
names of persons receiving money, and
the purpose for which each sum was
paid. The district attorney Institutes
prosecutions for violations, and the fine
for such violation is from $25 to $780,
A similar record is kept by the treasur-
er of each campaign committee, and an
Imprisonment penalty for violation is
provided
The 1905 laws also prohibit contribu-
tons by corporations, with fine pen
atty of 800 to $4,000 or Imprisonment of
from one to five years or both fine and
Imprisonment, in the discretion of the
court

Tuesday Evening, Aug. IA

"Senator Robert NJ LaFollette of
Wisconsin is to be reckoned as one of
the greatest men in public life today, "
says Thomas F. Grady, New York s ia
nous Democratic SENATOR His stand
upon the great economic questions of
the day is unquestionably right. He is a
great thinker, great talker, and a
diplomat. The stand he took on the
rate bill is absolutely right. He knows
more about that, dare say, than any
other man. His hating of that Indian
land steal was great accomplishment,
and he didn't take all the credit for it
himself. He divided it with Senator
Bailey. He showed a broadmindedness
and liberality in this case that one sell
dom finds among politicians in these
days. You can say anything you want
in his favor and say | said it, and III
stand for it. say this about Senator
LaFollette, although he is Republican
and am Democrat.
Such is one of the many hundreds of
similar hearty endorsements of our jun
Tor senator from all quarters of this
great and intelligent country.

The Silent Campaign.

This is Congressman Babcock's silent
campaign He has had all other variet-
les of campaigns, in quest of renomin-
alton, known to political shrewdness.
But this year the primary system, to-
gether with the new law making it an
offense punishable by fine and imprison-
ment for the lavish expenditure of mon
ey to capture nomination or an cleo
ton, have forced the silent campaign.
Silent campaign What does that
mean? Why, keep mum, and the farm
ers and quiet-going citizens will neglect
attending the primary. These farmers,
ETC., you know, have deeply imbedded in
them the desire and determination that
the people should and must recover their
rights. rights wrested from them by
the corporations through legislative
agencies; and as Mr.. Babcock is herald
ed to have been such an agent, if the
farmers and other patriotic citizens turn
out at the primary his cake is dough.
Mr.. Babcock's strength is confined
entirely to the cities in the district. The
country folk are "agin" him. Hence,
if the question of congressional nomin-
alton is agitated so as to awake the lat
ter class of voters, the demand for a
change so clearly expressed two years
ago will be effectively carried out this
year.
Now you see the political wisdom of
the silent campaign.
Monday and Tuesday of this week
Babcock's forces quietly gathered at
the Pfister hotel in Milwaukee. Bah was
there, of course, and his private secre-
tary, the latter as guard to the door of
the room where the big powwow was
conducted between the congressman
and his henchmen Of this district who
delivered the goods flor the lucre and
position there was in it, in years gone
by. The lobby of the hotel fairly swarm
ed with postmasters, inspectors OF the
Iui lOuLNSy anu ihiilti ., bIlNlSo
and cousins of those who have been
given clerkships at Washington through
the influence of the congressman. Such
were the kind who delivered the goods
for Mr. Babcock in The past, such goods
as were delivered, and they are expect
ed to do it again.
1t is reasonably safe to predict that
not one word was uttered in reference
to any of the vital questions before the
country today, and in the interest Of
the corporation-ridden masses, or that
the sonorous ring of patriotism was
heard by a single ear The gathering
was simply to devise schemes to retain
in office man who holds bis citizenship
in the state by slender thread.
If Mr.. Babcock failed in getting re-
nominated, how long would he retain
his citizenship in Wisconsin, where his
real estate holding is 81 to $50 in the
east, according to assessment reports?

The Common Scold.

A woman has just been convicted at Bal
timore of being common scold. 1t seems
hard that with so many offenders In this
way one lone woman should be singled out
for prosecution. The idea of the court was
that this victim OF the laws majesty would
prove an example to deter her sisters from
this pernicious though usual course. But
this is very narrow view. A court sem
tence never cured a woman scold of the
habit and neither can this habit be dealt
with by example A habit that comes SO
naturally to such a large number OF per-
sons and becomes fixed by long and hard
practice is not readily durable.
There is another feature about this Bal
timore decision that should be considered
The convicted person was a woman. This
savors Of discrimination against sex. 1t
looks like subserviency to that crude and
ancient superstition that all common scolds
were women. even IL all women were not
common scolds Nothing could be further
from the truth than this. 1t is opposed to
the sum of all human experience. II every
man who is a common scold were sent to
jail. jail would be a mighty uncomfortable
place and there would be few stag parties
anywhere else.

Chancellor Day.

Light upon the character of Chancellor
Day of the Syracuse University, the self
appointed champion of the oil and beef
trusts. Is shed by the disclosures accom-
panying the resignation of one of the pro-
fessors of the university. 1t appears from
this affair that Chancellor Day is an auto
crat of the autocrats, a personal exponent
OF the individual power. He is ''it" In the
institution over which he presides. He con-
trolls the discipline in minute detail. He
regulates the athletics He dictates the
curriculum and the educational policies.
He sweeps aside the recommendations of
the instructors in the matter of promotions
and graduations. Even when the entire
faculty has voted to expel a student Chan
cellor Day has reinstated him. He is, in
short. a trust
Such arbitrary, autocratlc people are just
the sort TO become enamored of the pro-
cesses and methods of the great syndicates.
Loving power, they respect powerful combi-
nations and men. Hating rivalry and COM
petition, they bow down to the Institutions
that express the doctrine of monopoly. Mr..
Rockefeller is doubtless a man after Chan
cellor Days own heart. No small Dealers
in the university for him. No independence
OF thought or action. Complete and unques-
toned authority vested In single person
is the only possible basis for so constituted
an educational Tnagnate.
Chancellor Days various defenses of the
trusts and his attacks upon the critics OF
the trusts have not seriously affected the
public distrust Of the great combinations.
The very vehemence of his denunciations
and the very eagerness OF his avowals of
virtue on the part of the trusts have inten-
sihed the public feeling of antagonism.
There was no call for him to engage in the
discussion. His advice and his abuse were
entirely gratuitous. They smacked of spe-
cial pleading on behalf of a client But
perhaps after all it was merely temperament
that brought Chancellor Day into the game.
Maybe he loves fight and hates to be ST.
lent. Perhaps he Is a common or garden
'butter-in."

Three Good Local Laws.

The present session of Congress will long
be remembered by the District citizens FOR
yielding three measures which go far to-
ward putting Washington on a par with
other municipalities in certain vital re-
spects. For years the school teachers, po-
lcemen and fremen of the capital have
been inadequately paid. although charged
with responsibilities of an exceptional char
acter and performing services very highly
rated. Heretofore efforts to obtain salts
factory salary scales have been futile. Oc-
casional advances have been granted by
Congress in the course of appropriation
bills but this method was always question
able owing to the danger of objection by
raisers of points of order" 1t became
clear that the only method certain TO pro-
duce results was to frame separate bills,
one for each branch of the municipal gov
eminent and to secure their passage as
original legislation thus providing founGa-
lions for the provisions In the approprla-
ton bills
All three of these bills have passed the
two houses. The police bill has been sign
ed. Tho firemens bill has been concurrent
ly passed by the Senate without amend
ment, and Is before the President for sigma
ture The teachers bill has just been
agreed to in conference and will shortly be
laid on the Presidents table. The legisla-
tive work is finished. and the result can
not be too highly commended. nor can the
houses OF Congress be too warmly thanked
for their services to the District
With these measures on the statute books
and the annual appropriation bills shaped
10 conform to their requirements. the police,
school and fire Departments of the District
Will be on a proper plane of monetary sup
port. 1t will be possible for the District
government to secure and, what is more,
TO retain the services of the best avail
ahle policemen firemen and teachers. No
longer will there be occasion periodically
to complain of the difficulty Of holding
cGpabre men and women In service In the
schools. especially, will the conditions be
improved. With an automatic promotion
provision in force the teachers will be as
sured of annual increases. There will be
incentive to remain in the local field.
These bills make for the betterment of
the District government. They should have
been passed years age. II their enactment
now is to be regarded as significant OF
new attitude toward the District on the
part of Congress 1t is possible to hope for
other bene1cences In the future. Perhaps
the justice of the plea that the current rev.
enues be applied chiefly to the current
needs and not expended in cash payments
for great permanent works VIII be recog-
nized. AS soon as that principle Is estab-
Hshed and rigidly adhered TO 1t will be-
come possible for Congress to meet all the
rightfu demands Of the District for in
creases in the municipal equipment and
proper Establishments OF the salary scales
