thus far laid out S7OO,000 to WIZ the
nomination for his brother, replied;
"No such thing, 10 such amount OF
money has been SIP ent. 1t IL ridicu
lous." Still it must have been expen-
sive in money, or promises to have
s'nxedp Boss Cox and 10 get the ONO
Republican organization into line,
when still sore from the effect ofthe
last campaign. Publicity Of what has
been spent aud who received it, would
perhaps help to GEAR Secretary Tafts
skirts, and until Charles Taft explains
| the exact figure and just how the
money was expended, we must expect
! toihear exaggerated accounts of the
Immense sums spent by the candi-
dates wealthy brother, who is willing
to make any sacrifice TO land the See
rotary in the White House.
1t Is safe TO say that Publicity will
not be forthcoming, for some 4 the
items of expenditure would not add TO
the enthusiasm for he candidate and
would only help ID more strongly i'm
press the public m.nd with the fact
that money N skes the Republican
elephant get move on himself.
Here at Washington there il n" en-
thusiasm for the Republican ticket,
for there is deep rooted feeling that
it may be defeated, that neither the
candidate for President nor Vlc.-pres-
ident has that inherent st engCa with
the voters that is necessary for success.
But perhaps on the Republican man
ayers will be able TO work up enough
enthusiasm amongst the ofiite-holders
to get most of them to go shome TO
vote, If they are not ise~sed too great
a percentage Of their salaries 10 pre-
vent them from doing so.
The Republican managers will un-
doubtedly have an enormous cam
psign fund, for all .'tbe interes 81 will
be forced TO contribute, by reason of
the pressure that can be brought to
bear on them bY the Administration,
through the Information obtained by
by the investigation of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor, of
their .infraetion Of the railroad rate
law and the antitrust law. With all
this evidence hanging over their heads
what can they do but "come down.
wi en- the Republican managers call
on them for Doodle?

Mrs. Lou Facenbaker, of Piedmont,
who has been visiting friends and rel
atives in this city has returned home.
The interest which Maryland bust
ness men are taking in the situation Is
intense. This is explained by the fact
that in cities near race tracks bonding
companies report more loss by clerks
stealing money than in any other cities
in the United States.
This is what crystalIzed the feeling
against betting in New York adds
force to the movement which will prob
ably start here. A well-known owner
of horses and better who has won
some renown through plunges said
yesterday: ~
! 81 don't want to go back on my own
kind and begin to say give us an anti
racing law, but when you see some of
the sights around the betting ring you
feel like quitting the business for good.
| "You can't make weak men strong;
that is dead sure thing, and just as
long as there are betting rings weak
fellows are going to steal money from
their employers so they can bet on the
races. Mind you, they do not steal it
from the start-they lose their own
first and then to get it back they use
the firms cash, It's a losing Job and
they go the penitentiary.
81 know bonding company that
will not bond man-no matter how
high up he is-that bets on the races,
and they're dead right at that. ~ Bal

combination in Ohio. For a time Dawes
was neutral in the presidential contest
and really preferred Fairbanks to either
Foraker or Taft, but the Taft managers
demanded either the open adherence Of
Dawes or his head, and he gave his ad-
herence with haste.
The Foraker men had planned to let
Dawes alone. but his jump to Taft made
them draw their snickersnees. and Dawes
was the first victim of the Foraker-Taft
fight in the state.
He can now blame Vorys and the Taft
managers in Columbus. They forced
him to repudiate Foraker and then they
left him to fight alone. 1t is possible
that a similar fate awaits Representative
Cole of Findlay.
Dawes was popular in Washington. He
Is brother of Charles G. Dawes, once
controller of the currency and Mckinleys

Nearly thirty years ago the father Of
Dawes was a representative. and the boy
Beman spent much time in the House col

atmosphere. and secretly vowed. when
only boy of ten. to be a representative
himself some day. He never forgot that

but thirty-seven, and young enough to

James Joyce OF Cambridge, who was

the principles he has followed since he
entered public life.

TO STOP LABOR OF CHILDREN
SENATOR GALLINGER'S BILL TO
BE FAvoRABLY REPORTED.
Practically Unanimous Decision Of
Senate Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor.

The Gallinger child labor bill for the
District Of Columbia will be reported
favorably to the senate without amend
ment This action was decided upon by
the committee on education and labor.
Senator Dolliver of Iowa chairman. at
meeting held today. The action of the
committee was practically unanimous.
Senator Paynter of Kentucky being the
only member opposed to 1t in its present
form.
At the proper time in the senate Mr..
Paynter will offer an amendment to strike
out the provision requiring from children
allowed to engage In labor in the District
a certificate that they have attended
school until their fourteenth year. Mr..
Paynter is not at all opposed to the gen.
eral principle involved in the Gallinger
bill, but thinks this provision may work
a hardship to children coming here from
other places where they may not have
had an opportunity to go to school. 1t
was the opinion of the committee that
cases of this nature will be so few in
number that the general rule should not
be varied.
Provisions Of the Bill.
The bill prohibits children under the
age of fourteen years from being en-
ployed or suffered to work in any factory.
workshop, mercantile establishment, store.
business Office. telegraph Office. restaurant.
hotel, apartment house, theater. bowling
alley or in the distribution or transmits
sion Of merchandise or messages. 1t pro-
hibits further that no child under four
teen years shall be employed in any work
performed for wages or other compensa-
ton during school hours or before 6
o'clock in the morning or after O'Clock
in the evening. This exception is intended
to permit children to engage in such oc-
equations as selling newspapers and de-
livering messages in the morning and
evening.
The District Commissioners favor the
passage OF this bill. The committee
adopted it in preference to the Lodge bill
Of practically the same character.
On account of the absence from the city
of Senator Beverage of Indiana the Bev-
eridge chi1d-1abor bill was not formally
considered by the committee.
