MIR. BRYCE LECTURES AT DUBLIN
And John Dillon Causes Trouble in Second
ing Vote of Thanks.

Dublin. Jan. flames Bryce. the newly ap-
pointed Ambassador of Great Britain 10 the
United States, delivered lecture here Tonight
under the auspices OF the National Literary
Society His subject the relations OF the
Norsemen to Ireland from the eighth to the
twelfth century. and he gave an interesting re-
view OF the laws and literature OF Ireland
Mr.. Bryce received vote Of thanks from the
society, and in seconding II John Dillon. N. p.
said Of Mr. Bryce that he would carry to his
new task the friendship and good will OF Irish
men, and he would see what Irishmen could do
in free country, living under conditions far
different from those of Ireland. Continuing.
Mr.. Dillon expressed his belief that Mr.. Bryoe's
experience Of the present system OF Irish gov
ernment would make him more than ever de-
ternined to champion Irish Thirty.
AT this remark some OF the occupants OF the
platform rose with show OF indignation. and
the chairman said, 'I must rule this out of
order" Many persons IN the audience called
upon Mr.. Dillon to go on but Mr.. Dillon in
sisted upon bowling to the ruling of the chair

FOR HONEST CONVENTIONS.

Two helpful suggestions are made in that
part Of Governor Hughes's message to the Leg
isiature which deals with corrupt election prac-
t1ces. The first aims at correcting an oversight
in the laws compelling publicity in election e1-
pense accounts by proposing specific limita-
ton on the sum to be spent by any candidate
on his own canvass When the statute reQuir-
ing candidate to file statement Of his actual
expenditures was drawn 1t was thought that
sense of public propriety would deter an
asp.rant for Office from acknowledging that he
had contributed overlavfshly to his own cam
paign fund. AS a matter Of fact. few candi-
oates under the old law ever admitted any con-
siderable personal expenditure. There were so
many lcopholes that no one needed to confess
how much he had spent through agents or by
indirect methods Of bookkeeping. The law Of
1906 was far more satisfactory, In that it re-
quired an accurate and complete accounting and
forced committees well as candidates to sub
nit their expense ledgers to the public. II
would hardly bs just to say that the community
was scandalized when a candidate for Gov
eiaOr under the new law recently acknowledged
personal expenditures amounting to about $780,
900. Possibly other candidates In the old days
spent much that without anybody's being
the wiser. Yet it is clear that the secondary
purpose Of legislation lifting the lid of secrecy
was to force retrenchment In political ex-
penditures. Lavishly conducted campaigns are
demoralizing, however legiimately the vast
sums which they eat up may be spent, and 1t
is only logical to require candidate to keep
within decorous limit in financing his candi-
dacy. No man who has ideas to present will
tau OF hearing In these days of multiplied
newspaper editions and sharpened public curl
osity.
Mr.. Hughes's second suggestion goes deeper
and seeks to eradicate a more strongly in
renched evil There are many politicians who
would balk at hagrant corrupt practices in
eisctIous, but who have no compunotions what
