Governor Magoon Optimistic Over the
Future OF the Island.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Governor
Magoon. of Cuba, arrived here to-day
and had conference with Secretary
CT War Wright relative To- the meth
ods to be employed in the withdraw
al of the American troops from the
Island of Cuba and on other matters
relating to the islands government.
Former Senator Blackburn, of
Kentucky, Governor Of the Panama
Canal Zone, was to-day in confer
ence with Secretary Wright concern
ing affairs on the line of the canal
Governor Magoon spoke in the
highest terms of the ability Of the
Cubans to govern themselves He
said that during the two years that
he had been Governor there never
had been the least necessity for en-
ployfng the troops in police duty, and
he added that the influence of the
United States there was a moral one.
Just how long it will take to with
draw the American soldiers from the
island is largely matter of trans
ports.

At the courts case concerning
motor driving was being heard, when
the chauffeur declared that when
driving at forty miles an hour he
could. If necessary, pull up in ten or
twelve feet.
"Um!" said the Judge.
Then the next witness-an expert
gave his evidence.
Said his lordship: "If q motor car
were travelling at forty miles all

on in such a manner as to stop 1t

indianapolis News Thinks II Time to
Call q Halt on the Raising Of
large Sums for Expenses
Of Election.

-
We wish that party committees
| could be brought to realize that OF
the vast sums OF money used in polit.
ical campaigns large amounts are ut
solutely wasted. In the News OF
Tuesday It was announced that the
Republican leaders were beginning to
be worried owe the outlook for pc.
litical contributions. We doubt
whether they have much cause to
worry, for there are indications that
the Interests will show he usual
practical interest. The difficulty seems
to be, not 80 much one of getting the
money, as one Of accepting 1t. Il do
not" says one eminent Republican.
"see how our party dare accept large
contributions from the trusts In the
next falls campaign" and he went on
to say that he was convinced that II
the Republican party Is caught &C.
cepting money from the trusts next
fall 1t will 20 down to defeat on that
one issue. | know" he added, what
the temper of the people Is on this
subject"
Here obviously Is a great gain. In
the old days both parties would take
money from anyone, and the only ques.
ton was as to how to get 1t. Now they
arc fearful to accept 1t unless 1t come
from the most irreprOachablc pockets.
In this same statement 1t was said
that millions OF dollars went into the
campaign OF 1896 on the Republican
side. that 81, 900. 900 was spent I'm 1900.
and more than 5 $1,000. 900 in 1904 for
the circulation of literature only. II
was said further on good authority
that the Republican committee will
need this year anywhere from $1,000
900 to 5000, 000-the larger amount
preferred. Yet everyone knows that
much money is wasted in campaigns.
It is given by no one knows whom,
and Is spent by men who are wholly
beyond the necessity of rendering any
account Of their stewardship. The
whole system invites waste, Even lie.

than they need be. II was absurd 20

probably few of them ever reach the
individual voter. IT the committees
would give their literature to the
speakers. and to them only. It would
reach the people in the most effective
form and at much less cost. Surely
the time for reform in this business
has come. No campaign ought to
cost millions of dollars. We do not
believe that any campaign can hon.
estly cost so much as that.
But the Republicans-and the Dem,
ocrats, too-will raise all the money
they can The refusal OF the Repub
lican congress to pass the bill pro
viding for publicity in this matter OF
campaign contributions can only be
taken as indicating that they are un.
willing to shut off the usual sources
OF supply on the eve Of a presidential
campaign. The whole thing Is scan.
dalous, and ne2dlcssly so, as much
OF the money contributed Is used to nc
purpose. not even to n corrupt pur.
pose. II might as well be burned by
