He FAVORs PUBLICITY
No Better Way Of Putting an End
to Corruption.
A National Law Is Favored Allowing
Scrutiny Of Expenditures Of
Campaign Committees.

Washington, Jan. Perry Bel.
mont of New York, president OF the
National Publicity Bill organization
Sunday made public a letter to Gov.
Hughes of New York, in approval OF
the governors utterances regarding
the publicity movement. Mr.. Bel.
mont writes the governor as follows:
"On behalf of the publicity bill as
ISOLATION, Of which you have been a
member since Its inception, l have
been authorized by the executive
committee to convey to you the ap'
probation Of the organization of the
reference made to that movement Ii
your first annual message to the New
York legislature.
These words embody the spirit and
purpose Of our association. The sue
cessful operation Of the publicity law
at the recent state election In New
York has given renewed impetus to
the movment to obtain a national
publicity law. In two years there
will be another state election In New
York, to be held at the same time as
the presidential and congressional
elections. The new law compels pub
licity of contributions and expendi-
lures on the part Of state and local
political committees. The absence
of a federal law, should none be enact
de before then, compelling publicity
of contributions and expenditures on
the part of national and congressional
committees would impair the effici-
ency of existing state law and similar
laws in those states which have en-
acted publicity laws. Federal and
state publicity laws would supplement
each other

Good sense from the Junction City
Union: 1t is really amusing to us TO
note that some Of the members Of the
legislature are tearing their clothes
because the judges Of the supreme
court are not getting enough money
as salary. The judges are now get
ting more money than they earned
before going on the bench. They are
getting more now than they think
they can earn of the bench, or they
would get of, and be mighty quick
about it. Do you notice that every
time one Of them is offered better
thing, in the mOney-mAking line, that
they do not hesitate to quit the bench
and take the jobP II there is anybody
needing an increase In salary for
serving the state It Is the members
of the legislature themselves. They
are now getting little more than the
wages paid to the Greeks on the rail-

The Emporia Gazette accused W..
R. Smith and the Santa Fe Of being
for Curtis and received this reply:
ITO the editor Of the Gazette, Sir:
Please correct the statement made in
late issue Of your newspaper to the
effect that Mr.. Charles Curtis is re-
ceiving the support Of the Santa Fe
road and myself in his candidacy for
the Office Of United States senator.
The Atohison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway Company has no candidate
for senator and is out Of politics. Re
spectfully yours, VIM. R. Smith, So
licitor for Kansas"
The Santa Fe not only understands
railroading but 1t knows how to
maintain the decent respect Of man.
kind. An institution that pays $751;
10000 q year in wages in Kansas
has some rights but the Santa Fe does
not exceed them.

1t is understood that the self-ap-

make Stubs senator have issued or
ders to country districts to send in
petitions, either for Stubs or against
Curtis according as it seems to be
easiest. They are even hiring men
to carry these petitions where neces-
sary and will try to scare all the rab-
bits again as they attempted to do in
the recent campaign. 1t is satisfac-
ton to the people Of Dickinson county
that they have representatives not in
the rabbit class, men in whom the
people Of their districts have conf
dence. They can be depended on to

Work for the New Year.

Nashington's New Year begins in
the shadow of scores OF homes af-
tlicted and hundreds of hearts heavy
with aching. The freedom from
care, the merrymaking. the social
obseryances. the general rejoicing,
the hearty. courageous, sanguine
outlook which mark this season
ordinarily are hard To assume. The
Capital is more nearly a house of
sorrow this first day of 1907 than a
place OF feasting.
We of the District enter the year
with new responsibility, "a trust To
use our influence and give our ener-
gy TO the lessening of the loss of
life through railroad management.

Curious information can be had by
scanning the original bill as now
printed with all pending amend
ments. The author was Mr.. La Fol
letfe. He would have had the Inter

ped with power and men to super
wise the roads and prevent the en-
ployment of their operatives longer
than was in its Judgment safe. For
this, Mr.. Deliver reports from the
Committee on Education and Labor
