Urged by Bryan as Way 10
Secure Honesty in
Politics.
TALKS AT new YORK
National Publicity Law 0rgani-
zation Holds Special
Meeting.

New York. April l6.-The adoption of
an effective national publicity law
which would require the publication of
contributions to the national and con-
sressional committees. as well as the
expenditures OF these committees, was
the question discussed today at "a spe-
cial meeting of the National Publicity
Law organization. Perry Belmont,
president of the association. was chair
man Of the meeting. and the invited
guests included William ]. Bryan and
Samuel Gompers. Many states were
represented.
Bryan Friend of Movement.
| William J. Bryan was introduced as
/ a man who had given powerful aid 10
the publicity movement. In brief
speech Bryan told what he thought the
national publicity law should be.
He said all contributions above the
minimum should be made public be-
| fore elections. both by the committee
receiving il, and by the person or cor
poration making il. Failure to comply
! with this. he said. should be punished
as a penal offense.
Honesty Impossible Now.
The publicity movement. ne declared,
rests upon the principle tnat politics
should be honest but he declared there
could be no honest politics when any
interest could purchase before election
a promise That certain things shall be
done after election, and when this
promise is concealed from the voters.
BRYAN said the evil of campaign con-
ltributiOns was not confined TO any one
party. and quoted evidence given be-
fore the congressional committee to
iprove his statement. The only sure
remedy, he averred. was the publica-
tion of contributions before election.

WRITE US A LETTER
WE SHOULD PITY THE 400, "

(BY Professor Charles ZuebHn, University
of Chicago
The membersspf the 400" don't
get anything ont of life. Their
perspective is narrow, they only
have a small circle of friends, and
they are constantly meeting the
same faces. They intermarry and
lntermarry, with the result that
finally their children are marked
In the same way that the children
OF the arlstocracy are marked
they are without vigor, without
purpose, without ambition
The really big people are never
afraid of losing anything by miugl
ing with all classes. One can
measure the real stature If a wo

1t is quite likely that all the
"hello girls" throughout the
country will soon lose their jobs,
since some ingenious individual
has invented a new automatic
switchboard which makes the en-
ployment of operators nnnecessal Y,
as each subsci iber will be his own
operator. Superintendent E. l..
Powell, of the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company, has petitioned
the Railroad Commission to be al
lowed to install the new contrivance
at Baton Rouge, aud the petition
will, OF course, be granted. From
Baton Eouge the thing will spread
all over the country very rapidly.
hence the hello girls can prepare
to abdicate, and the glory and pri-
vilege of striking will be theirs no
more forever. The New Enterprise.
