The News: With only two months
between himself and freedom, Edward
r. Kaiser a ''trusty" at the Nebraska
state penitentiary, made his escape
during October. He is still at large,
though he has been traced 10 South
Omaha and to Sioux City, la.
The action of the convict is thought
TO be due to his state of mind caused
by brooding over the fact that his
wife has ceased TO write to him.
Kaiser, who is but twenty-five years
of age, was serving a sentence of one
year for disposiug OF mOrtgagcd prop
erty in Brown county. Since his ar
rest his wife has been employed in a
railroad eating house at Long Pine,
and later at Norfolk. Until lately her
letters came regularly and were
watched for by the prisoner with
great cagerness, 1t was noted that he
re.read them often. Recently the let
tiers have stopped coming and Kaiser

ROYCROFT PHILOSOPHY.
BY Fra Elbertus.

Most of the really great men in
America have warmed their bare feet
frosty mornings on the spot where the
COWS have lain down.
We are heirs of the past, both its
good and its ills.
The best souls suffer most, while
baseness and Haunting pride go free.
But pain is not all pain.
Nature Furnishes most sins, but
blasphemy, sacrilcgc and heresy are
things that nature does not provide
any punishments for: therefore man
has to look after these things himself.
A mans word IS only valuable when
1t is not for sale.
The greater comprehend the less;
but the less cannot comprehend the
greater.
Speak today what you think is true,
and contradict j. all tomorrow if nee.
Cssary.
If there is any other way to teach
virtue than to practice it, / do not
know it,

The Restriction of Campaign Funds.


Henry Litchfield West, in the Novem
Der Forum: 1t is safe to say that no
campaign in recent years has been
managed with so little money as has
been in the treasures of the national
committees during the progress of this
contest. OF the two organizations, the
Republicans have unquestionably pos
sessed the larger amount, but even the
sums at their disposal have been but
a 1.-THE of the funds available in the
past. The growth of public sentiment
against corporate contributions, rcsul t.
ing in the enactment of law which
placed corporations outside the pale,
has had its effect upon the party man
ayers and they look askance upon
money which bears the slightest sus-
picion of faint. Apart from this, how
ever, the corporations are not in
| friendly relation with the Republican
party. They have been upon a hot
griddle for four years and the eXper'
| fence has not been enjoyable. From
personal knowledge, the writer is
aware that several railroad officials
who in the past have given substantial
aid to the Republican party have this
year closed their check books, while
many trust magnates, upon whom the
Republicans have relied for tinancia
assistance, have this year failed TO re
spond with anything like their accus
toned generosity. The Democrat:
have, however. been even more handl
capped through lack of funds. The'
have had some money but hardl!
enough TO meet even the bare necessi
ties of the campaign.
One lesson of the election, therefore
will be that the enormous amount
which have been considered impera
tive in the past are really not required
The country should applaud and al
Ipreciate this knowledge. Each M
tional committee ought to be restricte
. by law to the minimum amount c
e .cRmpaign funds. An election ought I
decided upon its merits and nc
through debauching aud corruptin
influences.
