Fads and Fashions.

Special to The Bulletin.
New York. April Boy this time
every woman is attractively clad in
a new sDring costume and as each
sallies forth the cue noticeable fea
ture is the original cut of every
gown. The styles may not seem so
to MS because they are really
combinations of the last fall and
early winter models aud we have now
become accustomed to them. Gen
eral lines are practically the same,
such as the long clinging skirts of
the paquin and Empire Directoire
models and the short semi-fitting coat
with the decided fare over the hips
On costumes. blouses aud coats the
seam of the armhold has entirely
disappeared The sleeve is either
cut in one with the waist or the seam
is concealed by trimming, tucks or
little shoulder capes. This fashion
is very noticeable on everything but
the strictly tailored suits There are
no broad effects, everything is long
and slim from the top of the hat to
the toe of the shoes The enormously
wide sailors are the only exceptions.

is always when in doubt raise the
tariff"
Speaking of tariff revision by the
Republicans, some indication of
their probable course is afforded by
a recent interview with Representa-
tive Tawney, chairman of the COM
mittee on Appropriations, who says
that the deficit in the national
Treasury next year will amount to
$50, 900, 900, and that any changes
in the tariff schedules must be made
with a view to producing more
revenue. Despite the fact that
there is this large deficit in sight,
Speaker Cannon, who has cried
economy every time he has been
asked to permit the passage of
really meritorious measure, is en-
gineering through the House
Widows pension bill which will give
to every woman who married au old
soldier, whether he served ninety
days or three years, a pension of
SI2 month. This means AN in.
crease of the annual pension budget
OF SIP, 900, 900 or $f5, ,ooo, 900
year. And the worst of this legis-
lation is that it will benefit chiefly
women who married old soldiers to
secure their pensions, many of them
women of questionable ren,,te
Most of what might be termed the
deserving widows of the veterans
are already receiving pensions under
the existing law. As one Republi-
can Senator expressed it, Il sup
pose that SIS, 900, 900 is the price
the American people must pay to
crafty Uncle Joe Cannon's presi-
dental aspirations.

Increase In Traffic.

Philadelphia and Reading rail
way men who are in position to
quickly note a decrease or increase
of railroad business announce good
news when they state that over the
Catawissa branch of the line there
has been picking-up tendency for
several weeks, the change being
gradual, until now the road S
freight business has been about
normal for the first week in March.
1t is very little, if any, behind the
freight traffic here in the forepart
of March, 1909.
On Wednesday, for example, the
railroaders state that many of the
freights passing through Newberry
Junction were scheduled for either
two or three section trains. When
they run in any more than a single
section, the railroaders consider the
trains good ones and indicative of
good travel. 1t is stated that there
are more Reading freights and
more cars to train in numerous
instances running now than there
were a few weeks ago.
From Newberry Junction, in
addition to the extra sections that
are being sent out some extra
trains have been required to take
care of the increased freight busi-
ness.

intended to be bound. If that is
permissible the act does not cover
the ground that was. intended it
does not prevent the corrupt use of
money.
Undoubtedly, however, the agent,
unless the treasurer of political
committee. could be held accounta-
BILE for paying money to any one
but candidate or a committee

it is the agent in such cases who
will have to look out. t.-Ee.

Is There a Hole in the Act I?

In the course of all inquiry into
the expenditures of one of the De-
mocratic candidates i'll last year s
campaign in Schylliill county, one
of the judges of the court has held
that where money is given out by a
candidate through all agent the
candidate cannot be held RESPONSE
bic if the agent disburses the moifey
contrary to the candidates instruc-
tions.
If this opinion is correct, says the
Philadelphia Press, it knocks hole
i'll the corrupt practices act which
| weakeps that measure very materi-
ally and opens the way TO much
mischief. 1t would practically de-
stroy one Of the most important
purposes of the act. 1t was the
clear intention of the law to make
the candidate and committee treas
urer responsible for the expendi-
ture OF all the money in a CAM
paign, and to prevent them from
using it except for certain enum-
Grated purposes.
1t is declared in the act that "no
person who is not a candidate, or
the treasurer of a political conf
mittee, shall pay, give or lend, or
lend, any money or other valuable
thing, whether contributed by him.
self or any other person. for any
election expenses whatever, except
to a candidate or to political COM
mittee." If there is any meaning
to this it is that there shall be no
use of money by anybody but the
candidate and the treasurer of a
political committee. The intent is
to put the entire responsibility upon
them and leave no chance for cor
rupt use of money by unauthorized
persons.
In the Schuykill case the candi.
date put $500 in the hands of a
citizen, who disbursed it. 1t was
strictly within the law for the candi-
date to put ont his money for the
legitimate purposes which the law
specifies, but there is nothing in the
act to empower him to put it in the
hands of an unauthorized person for
disbursement. On the contrary,
the payment of money by such per-
sons, except to candidates or treas
urers, is prohibited. If the candi-
date could not attend to the ex-
pendture in detail it was plainly
his duty to put the matter and the
money in the hands of the treas
urer of his personal or party corl-
mittee. That was required in order
that the responsibility for the ex-
penditure might be fixed and
proper accounting made.
All responsibility is destroyed ii
the view of the Schuylkill judge is
correct. A candidate can give any
one any amount of money he pleases
and not be responsible for the use
that is made of it. He may instruct
his agent as to what he shall do
with it, and the agent may know
that such instructions are mere
matter of form by which he is not
