Publicity of Election Funds.

A society has been formed in New
York, and il is to- be extended through
out the country. the object of which is
to- compel the publication of lists OF
contributors and contributions for cleo
ton purposes. This step is believed
TO be necessary because of the extra
ordinary sums given by individuals
and corporations TO carry elections.
Money as a means to carry elections
first became a powerful factor in the
campaign of 1896, when the republi-
can national committee resorted to its
famous fat-frying process. Insurance
companies, banks. corporations of ev-
cry grade and individuals were bluntly
told that they must come down and
the debauchery of the electorate was
begun in wholesale and open man.
ner. II was repeated four years after
wards and again in the last presiden-
tai election The Investigations of the
insurance companies served to show to
how shameless a degree the method
was carried on

throughout the nation. The movement
is in the interest of society and free

parison are available, and for that year
the United States ran behind 81. 329 600
while Great Britain showed a net pro-
fit of S22, OOO, 900, and Russia, Germany
and France each about $14 100000. Due
TO the large and rapid increase of ru-
raj delivery since 1908, this country's
deficit has grown 10 at least three
times what it was then, and there are
other reasons for the unfavorable
showing, the principal ones being the
larger compensation paid employees
and the extensive areas covered which
are thinly populated.
The highest paid postmaster in Eng
land receives about $4,000 year,
clerks from $500 TO $1,000, carriers in
the large cities, $500, and in the small
Ter ones and rural carriers from $500
TO 1915. British postage is cheaper
than ours. For two cents letters

The Airing OF the Panama Scandal

Col John f. Wallace, former chief
engineer of the Panama canal, who
was appointed by President Roosevelt
and afterward resigned, has been eX-
planning his reasons FOR so suddenly
quitting his job. He learned that the
president reserved the right TO dismiss
him without notice at any time and to
hold him responsible for the work
without giving him power TO do the
work as he felt it should be done. An
other reason was that he found himself
surrounded by spies who logged his
movements and interefered with his
work One of these. William Nelson
Cromwell. is found TO have served in
these numerous and varying capaci-
lies:
Fiscal agent of the Panama republic.
Director of the Panama railroad.
Counsel for the Panama railroad
General adviser in all canal matters
by order of the president.
Counsel for the Panama legation.
Interested in the Panama American
company.
Counsel for the French Panama
CanaI company.
In the investigation made by the
senate. Secretary Taft denied that Mr.
Cromwell had any connection with the
commission, but it was subsequently,
shown that in passing criticism upon
the resignation of Engineer Wallace.
Secretary Taft spoke of him as Mr..
Cromwell. who for some time has been
charged by the president and the sec
rotary of war with general advisory
duties in all Panama canal affairs

CAN DO NO new BUSINESS
United States Consuls Merely Take
Venezuelan Archives in France.

Paris. Feb. 1.-THE United States
consul general in Paris and consuls at
Havre, Bordeaux, Nice, Marseilles and
Nantes have received orders from the
state department at Washington to
take possession of the archives of the
Venezuelan consulates in those cities.
The orders expressly limit the action
of consuls to taking possession of the
archives. The effect of this is to sus-
pend further consular business, as the
archives cover the old papers, whereas
the limitation prevents the transaction
of new consular business.
