Hearst on Election Expenses,

Mr.. Hearst's bill to limit the use of money
in elections is in the right spirit, and emit
tied to consideration as far as it goes.
But it by no manner of means covers the
case. In its discussion 1t may best be read
in the light of the explanation that the
author himself offers the public.
In the statement he issues Mr.. Hearst
says:
1T seems to me that the root of all cor
ruption in public life is the use of money
in elections The evil Is not merely the use
of corporation money in elections or the
use of the money of individuals but the
use of money at all to influence the vote
of the citizens ON election day."
Yes, but why emphasize the use of money
ION election day? Money spent by candi-
date or candidates friends. months or
years in advance of that day. yet with the
object of influencing the result of that day,
may be- and often Is. as corrupting as
money spent on the day itself. The only
difference is In the risk OF the investment.
Some voters refuse to stay bought. II
bought months in advance they are liable
to sell out to the other fellow before the
day of delivery. When bought on election
day they can be marched up to the polling
booth Immediately after the cash has
changed hands. Morally there is no differ-
ence' in the transactions at all.
For instance. suppose man who is able
to stand the tariff should at this time shavs

Sir w. II. Russell.

English journalism has long enjoyed dis
tnction in the field of war correspondence,
and her greatest light has just been extin-
guished by death. The names OF Russell
and Forbes and Stevens will long live in
the memories of those who followed the
wars which they reported. They were not
only graphic writer's. able to paint their
word pictures while on the jump. but pos
sessed the instincts. the courage and the
enterprise of soldiers themselves. They
had the divination accounted invaluable to
the journalist by Mr.. Bennett Of the New
York Herald. and not only knew where
hades would break loose next, but were al
ways on hand to tell the story. Sir VIII
liam Russell saw service nearly every
where. and distinguished himself wherever
he went American journalism has done
some notable things in the same line. Our
civil war was upon the whole capitally de-
scribed for the daily newspapers and q

The Three Weeks of Congress.

Three weeks from today The two gayels
will fall and the Fifty-ninth Congress stand
adjourned. Business rs not in satisfactory
condition. and night sessions may be nee
essary to get through with even the rou-
tine. But the routine will not fail. Much of
II will be rushed forward too rapidly to in
sure the best of legislation, but in some
form Uncle Sam will be provided for in the
matter of next years expenses. He needs
good deal of money. and should not be
stinted So, whatever happens between now
and the 4th of March, we may expect to see
the old gentleman emerge from the con-
fiic- with cash enough to meet his bills for
another twelve months.
But prospects are poor for other measures.
A fortnight ago signs of life were detected
In the Philippine tariff bill. but they were
disappointing. At any rate that measure is
not up and about today. Not unlikely it will
die with the session. The country would be
glad of the legislation. Morally we are
committed to it. and the Filipinos, by every
consideration. are entitled to it.
The immigration bill hangs fire. and. to
complicate matters. we have the Japanese
question knocking at the door. 1t may be
therefore that the bill will fail. Many peo-
pie would be glad of such result. There is
delicate But that our immigration laws
need amendment and then most judcous
execution is very plain. The difficulties are
of long standing. and the longer they exist
tie greater they Jecome.
There are other measures. worthy and
waiting The blockade may simply have
happened. On the other hand, it may rep
resent the slSillful maneuvering of trained
legislators. Nothing but the supply bills
may have been on the cards from the first
You never can tell. Th!ngs-often congress
sionai things-are not what they seem. But
accidental or otherwise. there is a blockade
and the appropriation bills have the right
of way. and for three weeks the situation on
Capitol Hill should repay attention on the
part of those learned in congressional log
jams and curious about their MANAGEMENT.
Well. such measures as fail at this ses-
sion will probably come before the next
Congress. and that body meets on the eve of
a presidential campaign, when both parties
will cut their cloth according to that pat
tern. 1t Is any mans guess what will
happen. We may get much or little from
that body. Certain it is that what We do
get Will bear stronger relation to what the
party leaders think will bear fruit in the
great national contest than to the actual
needs of the country in any particular case.

his eyes on the next presidency and BE-
busy with hls canvass. Suppose; for ono
reason or another, he should find II neces-
sary to build from the ground up. laying
his own foundations. Suppose. In order to
make what Is called an imposing front. =

In this state and that, wins his party
nomination by such means. and then goes
on spending until election day. when he
closes his pocketbook. VIII that man have
done nothing toward buying an election?
Would he be any worse IL every cent
changed hands on election day?
Referring to q recommendation by his
successful competitor for the New York
governorship to the legislature Of that state
on this subject. Mr.. Hearst says:
Mr.. Hughes makes an extraordinary
recommendation for corrupt practices
act, in which he advises that the amount
Of money contributed by any Individual
candidate be limited to small sum. II
there Is no provision limiting the total
amount Of money spent. this suggestion
of Mr.. Hughes would merely compel all
candidates to be under obligations for their
campaign funds to the financial interests
81. 600, 600 is still permitted to be spent In q
state election and the candidate might only
contribute $4,000, there would remain
$975O0O to be raised. for which the cano1-
date must be indebted to those who invest
their money in politics. and in candidates
Let's turn this around. If, for example,
81, 100000 is still permitted to be spent IN
state election. and the candidate may
contribute $y75 600. leaving only $4,000 to
be raised by his friends. would governor
who had virtually bought his election In
such fashion be more likely to consult In
Office the public interests than one whose
election had been bought for him?
What Is necessary is the limiting Of
money in elections from all sources. indi-
vidua1 otherwise. to be spent at any
time, whether a year before. or on. cleo
ton day. And Mr.. Hearst's bill. as ex-
planned by him, and well intended as 1t
may be. would not turn the trick-or. as
the. poet says, would not cut the mus
tard."

Higher Education of Women.

As the Rockefeller ideal of higher educa-
ton Is unfolded to the public several fea-
lures are presented which must commend
themselves to persons interested in this
phase OF national development In Mr.
Rockefeler's plans may be observed that
sagacity and capacity for organiza ton
with which the world has long credited
him tie shows shrewdness in charity as
well as in business deals
Not the most conspicuous but perbaps
the most interesting. feature of the Rookie
Teller educational program is it's provision
for largely increased facilities for the
higher education of women, this to be ac-
complished by charging existing colleges
for women and by the foundation of new
ones
The question of coeducation does not
enter into the matter. Mr.. Frederick T.
Gates, chairman of the general education
board. said in an interview yesterday that
events had rendered the cause of coeduca-
ton no longer debatable. because the men,
colleges are crowded the women's colleges
overcrowded and there could be no eco
nomical advantage In uniting them.
According to Mr.. Gates. one of the first
things which the general education boa nd
will turn its attention to will be the REM
edying of this overcrowded condition The
board will ask the cooperation not only of
the special friends of these colleges but of
philanthrop.sts generally
One of the thoughts brought out in the
consideration of extending announcement
and aid TO womens colleges is that the
alumni of mems colleges are a much more
important factor than the alumnae of
WOmens colleges. The reason for this is
not that the woman loves the old college
less. The reason Is that the alumnus be-
aiumna does not.
In his stupendous endowment of the gen.
eral education board Mr.. Rockefeller has
not given his first manifestation of sym-
patty with womens colleges He has
within the last three years made gifts to
Nassar Bryn Mawr, Wellesley Mount Hol-
yoke and Smith. II has been announced
on the authority of the general education
board that these colleges. as well as Bar
nard, Wells. Elmira, Radcliffe and others.
are so congested that a man desiring his
daughter to enter one of them must send
her name in three four years in advance.
Another indication of the manner of dis
tribution of the income from the Rookie
Teller fund is that 1t will go to city COL
ieges more than to country colleges. In a
statement by Mr.. Gates he says that COL
leges in the great centers of population are
neglected and that those in the country
have heretofore received the lions share
OF money from philanthropists An asser-
ton OF this nature Is no doubt surprising
to many persons. The popular belief seems
to be TO the contrary.

There ought to be no objection to the
passage OF the bin introduced in the House
