boys and girls and women. colored and
white. were there waiting to be admitted
to the cheerful dining room. fragrant with
the oder of roast turkey and other Thanks

Some of the men and women had the ap-
pearance of having ''seen better days." as
the popular song puts It. and others were

for having given to us so generously His
many blessings. We cannot thank Him
enough for the many benefits conferred
upon us the past year. Our mission work
has prospered. AS individuals We have
been happy. and as a great nation, pros
porous. We thank Him for this beautiful
world we live In, and for our many friends

SUBSTITUTE PUBLICITY BILL.
Seth Low Says II Is Farcical and the Lesis,
lature May Just as Well Not Pass IT.

iature May just as well Not Pass 1t.
ALBANY, April Seth Low, representing
the Association to Prevent Corrupt Prac.
tees at Elections. has written a letter to
Senator Bracket and Assemblyrnan Cox,
chairmen Of the judiciary committees of
their respective houses, pointing out that
the substitute publicity bill reported from
their committees is f~arcical. Mr.. Low says
that the provision that a political COM
mittee need not account for political ex-
penditures which do not exceed 500 is
valueless and that the Legislature NAV
just as well not pass it.
The result Of this, says Mr.. Low, swould
be that where a political party wished to
escape accounting Tor its expenditures it
would organize any number of committees
each Of which could receive 500 from any
source, and eHpaad that sum without max
ing any accounting. This would absolutely
nullify the whole act, the very object of
which would be destroyed"
Mr.. Low says the second Objectionable
provision would be laughable If it were
not serious. This is the one which provides
that a payment of less than $40 to any in
dlvidual need not Do v~ouchared.
These provisions are quite as bad as the
one first referred to-" he continues, for
they absolutely do away with any account
ings for payments Of small sums SO COM
monty made to election district workers.
which are the very payments which should
be made public. In other words. with
these provisions in the act an accounting
be a farce"
