NEW FUND BILL
MAY Be PASSED
Publicity of Campaign Con-
tributions Urged Upon
Congress.
MUCH PROGRESS is MADE.
LAST CAMPAIGN HELD TO HAVE
DEMONSTRATED THAT SUCH A
LAW is FEASiBLE-PUBLIc
SHOULD KNOW ALL.

New York, Nov. PA federal law
enforcing the publicity of campaign
contributions is to be passed by this
winters congress, if the efforts of the
National Publicity Law organization
prevail. The organization met here
and adopted an address declaring that
the last campaign had demonstrated
that such a statute would be obeyed
gladly by party leaders.
The course of the campaign" says
theaddress, has demonstrated that If
public opinion is adequately represent
ed in the present congress this meas
ure will be passed by both houses be-
fore final adjournment on March f."
No Right to Secrecy.
Theaction Of the democratic and re-
publican national committees in fol-
lowing the demands for publicity in
the last campaign, according to the
publicity organization, has established
the principle that contribution to a
political committee has no right to Sc
crecy, and campaign money is now
acknowledged to be public money.
The false conception" declares the
resolution adopted. that in respect to
political contributions the individual
! has the right to use his money as he
| sees fit, no longer exists in disregard
of long established restrictions upon
the use of money in elections. 1t is
now admitted that campaign fund pub
licity is not an unnecessary interfer-
ence with alleged individual rights
and that publicity is essential in deter
mining the propriety of motives
prompting political contributions.
Within Province of Government.
The difference in principle is now
fully recognized, distinguishing sub
scriptions to charitable and other or
CARNATIONS having limited relations te
the public welfare from those made &c
political organizations intrusted with
important public functions. and the
powers of political campaign commit
tees thus come within the purview OF
governmental supervision.
The publicity of campaign contribu
lions and expenditures, tn e purpose
and effect of which is to influence the
elector in the exercise of public func
ton, is. therefore. regarded as an eff
fective remedy and an indisputabl'
public right.

of the day at the second session of the
deep waterways convention. reached the
Auditorium Theater today the audience
arose in a body, cheering Justify and
waving American flags. II was a repe-
tition of the reception accorded w. II.

humorous touch or drove home an argu-
ment. Mr.. Bryan said;
Il am glad TO meet with those who
assemble here in the interest of devel-
opment of the waterways of this eoun-
try. | am in hearty sympathy with

good facilities for the transportation of

and make the canal as far as you please
and make the canal as wide as you
please and deep as you please, and when
you get TO improving the Mississippi |

improve every river that empties into
the Mississippi"

TORCH THREAT IN GEORGIA
Number of Gins Posted in Hart
County.

Hartwell, Ga.-Night riders have be-
gun their work in Hart county, nearly
every gin in the county having been
posted last night. The warning left at
the gins by the night riders are worded
in the usual way, the ginners being mo-
titled that IL they do not shut down
their plants until cotton reaches 10
cents the torch will be applied.
The posting was evidently done by an
organized band, as gins in widely sep
arated sections were posted ON the same
night. Considerable alarm is mani
Tested by ginners, and the plants are
being operated under guard. The guards
have orders to shoot any stranger who
approaches after nightfall
The large gin owned by Asben Nc
Curry, representative in the legislature,
is one of these posted, and Col. McCur-
ny has guards on duty night and day.
The ginners fear that their insurance
policies may be cancelled.

WEEV|L.W|LT DREADED
NO CURE DISCOVERED sTERIL-
IZATIoN TOO EXPENSIVE.
Wilt and Weevil Have Met in Arkan-
sas, Texas, Louisiana and
Part of Mississippi.

ashington.-Between the Mexican
boil weevil and the wilt the troubles
of the cotton crop are still perpleNing
the sharpest and shrewdest scientists Of
the department of agriculture. The wee
vii is moving this way from the South
west and the wilt is advancing to meet
the insect pest, and when they combine
the scientists dread the consequences.
Thus far the departments plant experts
have been unable to assure an eXtermina-
tion of the weevil, and they are forced
TO admit they have discovered no effect
i've cure for the wilt except sterilization
of the land by heat at prohibitive cost.
The Western outposts of the cotton
wilt and the Eastern confines of the boil
weevil have already met in Eastern Ar
kansas, Texas and Louisiana and some
parts of Southwestern Mississippi. The
boil weevil spreads eastward at a rate Of
not less than sixty miles each season,
while the expansion of the cotton wilt,
wherever it finds Judgment in the soil,
is at the rate of ten acres a year from
any single little spot.
The damage from the cotton wilt is es-
timated at $4,000, 900 a year, and seems
destined to grow at a serious rate. The
damage from the boil weevil was set
down in 1906 as $276, zoo, 900.
In the case of both ravages-one by an
insect which propagates faster than it
can be destroyed, and the other a disease
of the plant for which no known remedy
has been discovered-the department APP
pears at its wits end, but is constantly
bending every energy and inventive in
genuity to develop strains of cotton
which will survive the weevil and resist
the wilt.
Isolated instances of wilt were found
in the cotton belt twenty-five years ago,
but the disease was not accurately de-
scribed until 1892, since which the de-
partment has been carrying ON a futile
war with the disease. Despite every
method of treatment, the malady has be-
come especially prevalent in South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Arkansas Cases Of it have already ap
peared in Texas and oklahoma.
