THE sLUsH FUND.

The longer we contemplate the
hopeless efforts of a half dozen news
papers to raise a few dollars by pop
ular subscription for the national
campaign fund, the more impressed
are we with the soundness of Mr.
Bryan's financial policy in insisting
on Nose Wetmore. the tobacco trust
magnate. for chairman of the finance
committee. The popular subscrip-
ton idea is all right,--for bit OF by
play.-but there Is nothing new In the
popular subscription idea No matter
how much the papers raise, the local
campaign committees win pass the
hat before long to secure funds with
which TO buy votes. hire workers and
accomplish such other acts OF corrup-
ton as necessarily accompany the
annual exercise OF the right OF suff-
rage in America.
The national committees "slush
fund" doesn't percolate far enough
down to corrupt the ballot. The sue
cessiye political strata through which
It Is forced to pass, possess peculiar
properties OF absorption that leave
little for the last layer of politicians.
We have no doubt that great inter-
ests have contributed IN times past:
but not to one party more than 20 the
other: and never, we are confident,
with the knowledge Of the candidates.

to have J. w. Jackson placed upon the
legislative ticket, the editor Of this
paper being one who worked to THAI
end. We assert that within a few
days of the convention Mr.. Jackson
was slated for the nomination. HIS
friends were jubilant. Suddenly out
of the clear sky a thunderbolt came
A committee waited upon the head ..
the county political organization, and
with this endorsement OF Mr. Stuart
as proof, asserted that the nomination
of Mr.. Jackson would mean that they
would bolt the party and fight it "a
tie rolls. These facts we assert upon
the evidence of the man TO whom the
committee went, and they are further
corroborated by the testimony of one
of the workers of the scheme.
Mr.. Stuart's cry of stop, thief" is
nicely calculated to divert suspicion
from himself. We wish we could
think him guiltless, but his eviderr
malice in his newspaper attacks on
Mr.. Jackson, makes it not unlikely that
he was a willing tool of the schemers

administered IN the courts, but the
love of fair play of which the Anglo
Saxon delights to boast. The Armen-
ian massacres wrought up the feelings
of the people of this country, until
their protest was merged into
mighty roar which was heard across
the waters. We do not hope for such
result from the Springfield riots any
more than we did from the Atlanta
riots, but we do hope that the still
small voice of conscience will speak
With laws that give no excuse for
mob violence, Illionis joins hands with
Georgia. Truly is it said that the race
problem is THE national problem and
knows no section or race. 1t is the
one striking phase of industrial com
petition where reason fails and blind
prejudice prevails.
Happily it holds out this hope, that
it seems to attest in its growing in
tensity, the reality of our progress.
While we may not look to law there
fore for relief, while popular govern
ment does not even offer us security
of lives and property, we can console
ourselves with the knowledge that
every such conflict as that at Spring
field teaches us more and more the
lesson of self-reliance, which after all,
is the perfection of equipment for
