starts out to collect money for its
 candidate and 1t ends in the party In
 power, which naturally has the whip
 hand, landing more contributions
 than the other side and presumably

 But the anti-contribution bill just re-

 prohibits national banks, corpora
 tions engaged in interstate and for
 eign commerce and corporations or.
 ganized under federal laws from con-
 tributing funds to any election. The
 penalty in the case of corporation is fixed at mot more than $5,000,"
 and in the case of individuals, who include the officers, directors and stockholders of the company, fine of not more than 1000 and jail sentence. That is the thing shat will hurt the individual who might not be touched by mere fine. Unfor- tunately the corporation cannot De subjected to as jail sentence. It has nobody to be kicked and no soul to be damned" so it can escape with . fine. But of course the corporations are not opposing the new law. They have been blackmailed by campaign collectors often enough in the paSt and they are glad to subscribe to any law that will prevent raids on their treasury. But how we'll the reforma- tory law will be enforced is Ques- tion, If it is enforced in the letter and spirit, it will simply leave the situation as indicated above, where the man with the best private bank account will stand the best show of getting his views before the people.

The residents of Jackson, Wy, have sent out an appeal through the press for women to teach school, and ren- der other help, They say all the teachers who come there marry so soon that the schools often have to be closed, while feminine help of any kind is almost impossible to keep, for the same reason. Accord ing to the United States census of 1900, Wyoming had the smallest pro portion of unmarried women to its population of any state in the Union. And in Wyoming women have had full suffrage for the last thirty-seven years. Yet, says Alice Stone Black we'll. the opponents of equal rights continue to assure us that if women were allowed to vote it would be the destruction of love and matrimony.

Dispatches to the navy department state that the great dry dock Dewey has reached the entrance of the Suez canal and is waiting preparations for its passage through this great arti- flcial waterway. It has been ar ranged that the mammoth dock shall go through the canal in the daytime and that there shall be certain places dredged out for it like the sidings on railroad where it can lay up at night and let the other shipping in the canal pass through. Of course the dredging of these turnouts will come out of the pocket of the con- tractor and it will materially reduce the profit that would have been made in transporting the dock to Manila But it is the choice of two evils, for if the dry dock had gone straight through the canal there would have been no room for other ships to pass it, and the canal would have had to be closed to all other traffic for six days. It looks as though 1t would take almost as much money to get the dock to the Philippines as it did to build it. but when the journey is safely made it will stand for long time as the record towing perform ance of the world.

Secretary Root, on being asked how long he intended to remain in Panama, replied that MT Bigelow has set the precedent of thirty hours. Ap- parently one could see all the sights in that time.
 If the president is through with the muckraker and the whitewasher, he might give us few thoughts on the man who does not mine coal.
 It is funny that nobody ever heard of President Fairbanks taking such liberties with the senate as Uncle Joe'' does with the house.
 Bath tubs made of glass are being manufactured in Germany. They are made in a solid piece. and one can be turned out in five minutes The tubs are said to have advan- tages over metal and enamel. one being that they are much cheaper.- New Haven Journal and Courier.
 The way the board of education in New York fights yellow novels is by maintaining school libraries which place at the easy command of pupils an abundance of reading of the right kind. In six months time over F. 42s,000 books were drawn from these libraries by school children, and it is pretty certain that while they were reading these books they were not reading something worse.- Ansonia Sentinel.

An average workman, aided by au- toamtic machinery. in one year will add s1,000 to the value of the raw material passing through his hands. A farm hand ordinarily will not in- crease the wealth of the nation by one-quarter of this amount. The production of manufactures further, says a writer in the Engineering Mag azine, requires the exercise of a mans highest faculties. and to dis pose of them to his neighbor, de- mands in addition that they shall be better or cheaper than another's skill. brains and ingenuity can make them. Tn the one-half billion dollars and more of these articles exported from the United States are included copper electrolytically purified and rolled. and refined mineral oils
 manufactured articles" by courtesy only. These two items comprise about 30 per cent of American manu- factured exports. Thus analyzing the exports and reducing them to this basis. we find the United States on 9 lower level than England. Germany or France. England is so hopeIessly ahead that we must leave her com pletely out of the category of rivals to be jealous of. Little Switzerland sets a good example by her relatively large foreign sales. For every man. woman and child she sends away in manufactured goods the value of s5 per annum. This is ten times as much for each inhabitant as the cor responding export trade of the United States. If America were as active as the inland republic. her exports of this kind would be nearly four bil- lion dollars. or as much as the for eign business in manufactures of the entire world.
