Representative William Randolph Hearst
yesterday issued the following signed state
ment. giving his reasons for urging the
enactment of his bill into law to prevent
the corrupt use of money at national cleo
tons:
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. To illustrate
what / mean, let me cite the last New York
state election. The use of something over
a million dollars in the state campaign Is
admitted by the various committees of the
republican party. In addition to that there
was a great deal of money spent by indi-
viduals and by semi-political organizations
which did not come under the restrictions
of the election laws This amount of money
cannot be spent properly in merely inform
ing the voters on the issues of the cam
paign. and in guarding the ballot on cleo
ton day, and therefore, the greater part of

INTEREST IN AUTOMOBILE.
Favorable Comment as Regards Car
ter TWo-Engine Car.

The favorable comment in reference to
the exhibit Of the Carter two-engine car
is an aftermath Of the recent automobile
show. Even though the weather conditions
have been unfavorable, the two-engine en-
thusiasts have increased rather than d.
minished public interest in the car and
what are said to be constantly Frightening
prospects of the company. At the Offices
of the Carter Motor Car Corporation in
the Munsey building there is now on ex-
hibit the recently patented double radiator
for use on water-cooied cars, which was
to have been on exhibition at the auto
show. but which was delayed in transit
and failed to reach the city before the close
Of the show.
The principle OF the double radiator is
identical with that Of the two-engine car,
in that should one radiator become dis
abled through leakage or mishap the other
Is Immediately available for use.
The resultS OF the recent auto show, It IL
explained, have been more than satisfac-l
tory to the interests OF the Carter Motor
Car Corporation. The stock Of the COM
pany, offered for the erection of its Wash
ington factory. 1t Is represented, has been
heavily subscribed, SO that at present there
remains less than $4,000 shares to be dis
posed of to warrant the early completion Of
the proposed plant.

NEW YORK, February 8, 1907.
The Bible continues to be the best selling
book, as it always has been since the in
vention of printing. The number of copies
sold annually in the United States and in
other parts Of the Christian world is regu-
larly increasing at the rate of from to 10
per cent a year, which does not look as If
the present generation was rejecting the
faith Of its fathers. I learned at the Bible
house in New York that not less than TO-
100000 copies were sold throughout the
world last year, and the actual number is
probably nearer 1900, 600 copies. The total
sales of the American Bible Society for the
fiscal year 1905, at home and abroad.
amounted to 1926, 755 copies, which is an
increase Of 405,659 copies over the year
1905. OF these 94O, 367 were issued from the
Bible house in New York and ], 2963SS from
the foreign agencies of the society. The
greater part of the latter were printed on
the presses at missionary stations in China,
Japan, Siam, Syria and Turkey. The sales
this year, both in the United States and
foreign countries, were larger than ever
before and probably from 400, 600 to 5OOOOO
copies were sold by private dealers, book
sellers and department stores. Some of
these copies, perhaps 20 per cent, are al
ready accounted for in the sales by the
American Bible Society, but a large num-
Der of Oxford Bibles, printed on the Uni
versity Press in England, are sold in this

Society night Of commencement
week varies en~tertainingly from year
to year, and this season Tennyson's
Princess" was selected by the clever
young people who had the program in
charge. While the play is more pre-
t%entious than the performances ordi,
narily undertaken by the students,
those in the cast demonstrated their
ability for such an undertaking, neces-
sary criticisms referring merely to
lack of drill and practice generally.
Another large audience had assem-.
bled to witness the piece, and their en-
joyment was manifest, possibly the
fact that the prince often forgot his
lines when the lovemaking grew most
ardent adding to the hilarity of the oc-
casion. AS has beer said, however.
the parts were long and difficult and
the members of the cast are sincerely
to be congratulated upon their achieve
ments. The play was prettily staged
and costumed, the Prince, Florian and
Ipse especially captivating the audi,
ence, they looked so girlish."
Princesses Share Honors.

Miss Clara Prahl as the Princess Ida

roles were also well taken and the vo.
cal selections were especially good,
Miss Laura Lee, the accompanies Of
the evening, rendering charmingly the
noted "Bugle Song while the mum,
bers by Miss Reid as Violet, the chorus
work and songs for masculine voices
were happily interspersed. 1t is to be
hoped that the III srary societies will
continue dramatic work in the future,
as they have so cleverly proven that
they are capable of presenting classics
as well as comedies. The cast last
