The New Bribery Act.

The Montgomery bribery act, pass
ed at the last session Of the W. Va.
Legislature, is worthy of the attsn'
ton of candidates for public Office as
well as those who have been in the
habit of handling the money for the
candidates. 1t is the most stringent
thing of the kind ever enacted in this
State.
It makes or classes as bribery all
promises of appointment to Office, 'e-
curing of places or positions in con-
sideration of support as well as every
church organization, committee, labor
organization, literary or charitable
organization from soliciting contri-
buttons from candidates and classes
all such contributions as brides and
defines specifically for just what pur-
poses money may be legitimately e1'
pended in campaign. 1t forbids the
payment of expenses of delegates or
persons to any convention or election,
either directly or indirectly, and limits
the amount any candidate may e1-
pend even legitimately as follows;
"For FIVE thousand voters or less,
$3.50; for each one hundred voters
over FIVE thousand and under twenty
FIVE thousand, two dollars; over
twenty-five thousand and under fifty
thousand voters, one dollar; and Tor
each one hundred voters over fifty
thousand, fifty cents.
Every candidate for Office shall,
within 80 days after the election,
make out and file with the proper OFF,
Ger, a sworn statement of his cam.
paign expenses, showing to whom the
money was paid and the purposes for
which it was expended. Any person
failing to comply with the provision
shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor and
be fined not exceeding $780,"
y
Every two or more persons engaged
in managing any kind of a campaign
is classed as q committee and each
committee shall have a treasurer who
shall handle the funds of each COM
mittee and he shall keep and report
detailed statement showing precisely
the amount of money handled and e1-
pended and the purpose for which it
was expended. Every county clerk
is required to keep as part of his pub
lie records the reports Of the candi-
dates and committees herein provided
for and any member ofany committee
who refuses or fails to keep and re-
port statement of all funds passing
through bis hands is liable to fine Of
800.
No corporation of any kind is al.
lowed to give or offer to give any
money to any candidate or committee
and for such offense shall be fined not
less than 81 900.
All criminal and circuit judges are
required to charge their grand juries
especially as to the provisions Of this
act.
In brief, the act provides for fullest
publicity and ought to go long way
towards putting an end to the corrupt
use of money in the States if the
courts and officers will soc that its
provisions ara enforced.
The new law goes into effect May
20 proximo.

the extraordinary effect of Swamp.Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest

BRAINS AND BRAWN.

The New Haven Journal-Courier makes this graceful acknowledgment of the forensic skill of our big univer- slty across the stream: "If Harvard should defeat Yale at football 1t could not cause more surprise than If Yale should defeat Harvard in joint de- bate. Last night history repeated it. self in Woolsey hall when Yale again lost in the 20th annual debate with the Crimson. .''-Boston Transcript
 This reference to an obscure branch of college life recalls the days when ambitious youth approached our insti- tutions of learning with an antiquated notion of acquiring book-knoHledge of certain classics, philosophiese, polemics and mathematics. May of them were destined for the noble professions, some were resolved upon technical lore. but a college degree in those days was not always a professional parchment. Many slmple-minded gentlemen thought that common, useless learning rounded out the character, polished off the an- gularities of youth and fitted their sons for the quiet life of home just as ad- mirably as for the strenuous arena of competitive business.
 Education for its own sake meant something in the days when Harvard freshman might come from Virginia. establish himself in quarters with q body-servant and perhaps a groom and yet studiously attend the lectures and acquire a considerable classic education without any thought of putting 1t into what we of today should call practical use. And yet what finely balanced in- telects, what exqllsltely trained minds some of the gentlemen students of those early days could boast of.
 Harvard is perhaps a shade less practical n these respects than her rivals. It's university has some schol- arly traditions that seem likely to sur- vive football, boat-racing and other pursuits that greatly outshine mere learning in the popular imagination. And so 1t Is perhaps not unexpected when the debaters of Harvard consist ently outargue their more athletic rivals.-Rutland (Vt) Herald

THE PEACE OF THEBES.
At Atmosphere Tender, Delicatcly
 Thrilling, Hopeful in It's Calm.

The peace of the plain of Thebes in the early morning is very rare and very exquisite It Is not the peace of the desert, but rather, perhaps, the peace of the prairie-an atmosphere tender, delicately thrilling. softly bright, hopeful in It's gleamlng calm. Often and often have left the Louila very early, moored against the long sand islet that faces Luxor when the Nile has not subslded, I have rowed across the quit water that divided me from the western bank, and, with a happy heart, l have entered into the lovely peace of the great spaces that stretch from the Colossi of Memmon to the Nile, to the mountains, southwarj toward Armant. northward to Kerek- ten, to Danfik, to GueZlret- Metelra. Think of the color of young clover. of young barley, of young wheat think of the timber of the reed flutes voice, thin, clear and frail with the frailty of dewdrops; think of the torrents of spring rushing through the veins of a great. wide land. and growing almost still at last on their journey. Spring, you will say, perhaps. and high Nile not yet subsided But Egypt Is the ia vored land of a spring that Is already alert at the end of November, and in December Is pushing forth it's green. The Nile has sunk away from the feet of the colossl that It has bathed through many days. It has freed the plain to the felaheen, though still 1t keeps my island in its clasp. And Hapi, or Kam-wra, the great extender,' ' and Ra, have made this wonderful spring to bloom on the dark earth be- fore the Christians Christmas.
 What a pastoral 1t Is. this plain of Thebes. in the dawn of day. Think of the reed flute, have said, not because you will hear 1t, as you ride toward the mountains, but because It's voice would he utterly in place here, in this arcady of Egypt playing no tarantella but one Of those songs, half bird-lke, and half sadly, mysteriously human, which come from tho soul of the east
 Instead of 1t, you may catch distant cries from the bank of the river, where the shadoofman tolls, lifting ever the water and his voice. the one to earth
 tho other, 1t seems. to sky; and the creaking lay of the water wheel, which pervades Upper Egypt like an atmos- phere, and which, though perhaps al first 1t irrltates, at last seems to you the sound of the soul of the river of the sunshine and the soil.-Roberi Hichens in the Century.

AT LOCAL THEATERS
HYPERION.
Second Week of Stock-"Sweet Kit
 ty," a Three-Act Comedy.

The Hyperion Stock company, play ing a summer season of new and original plays at the Hyperion thea ter, will commence the second week of their stay in this city tonight, when they will present three-act comedy, Sweet Kitty" By reason of its laugh ing character 1t is the ideal offering given with the full strength of the company under the efficient stage di- rectorship of Oscar Eagle. A new and special scenic production has been built and nothing has been left un- done by the management to make this the big hit of the year. The story deals with the wife of an English mo- bleman who, confounding the name of q horse with that of a girl, suspects her husband and engages female de- tective to gather evidence for a di- vorce. This causes all sorts of com plications that engulf q dozen inno- cent people. In the end all comes out satisfactorily, although not before 1t gives the wife and her friends many bad half hour.
 One side-splitting situation follows another, and should make the Fly ' perion theater the center of much box office activity throughout the week The prices for the evening performances range from ten to twenty-five cents. while at the matt nees to be given on Wednesday and Saturday the best seats may be ob- tained for ten cents.
