CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.
Democratic Party Cannot Claim IN
sullied Virtue as to Source of It's

sullied Virtue as to Source OF It's
Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech.)
"Nlr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
TO give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy In the light of Mr.. Bryan's reiter-
ated criticisms of contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of New York a Republican Legislature
In 1906 passed a statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers, directors or
stockholders participating in or con
senting to the violation of the law
should be guilty of a criminal otfense.
And | know of no more drastic statute
In this country with regard to the pub
licity Of campaign contributions and
for the prevention of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises Of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by a party
in power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must. Of course. be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legiSlated
against political contributions by cor-
porations. Purity of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion of the popular will lie at the foun-
dation Of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity Of and accounting for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal elections. But 1t must
fairly be recognized that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have sinned. and
also those who, If we may judge from
their local activities, are still unrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of its revenues or
it's readiness to receive them"

LABOR IN DEMOCRATIC STATES.
Coal Miners in Alabama Subjugated
Into Cringing Dependencies.


That there's a rift within the lutte
of the Gompers proposition to deliver
the labor vote Of the country to Dem
ocracy is becoming more apparent.
While Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplorable condition Of
laber in the Democratic South. Mr..
John p. White, for six years president
of the Iowa United Mine Workers, and
now one of the national officers of the
United Mine Workers Association, who
investigated mining labor conditions in
the South, is not so reticent. In a re-
cent address to Local Union No. 81 of
Abba, Iowa. he told Of prosecutions of
labor In Alabama where q coal miners
strike was In progress. He IL reported
- saying: "The miners Of Alabama
have been subjugated until 4 majority
have become cringing dependencies. Al.
most daily some Of the laboring men Of
that State were mercilessly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
Of the Mine Workers Association were
thrown into Jail without having com.
mitted any crime other than becoming
members Of the organization" Ala.

Last Saturday evening about S o.
clock, this vicinity was visited by the
worst hail. rain and windstorm that
was ever seen in this country. Hail
fell as large as goose eggs, breaking
almost all of the windows in this neigh
borhood. Pigs, chickens, turkeys and
geese were killed by the hundred,
horses and cattle were driven through
fences and found miles away; windmills,
barns and other buildings were blown
down, and all the small grain is total
loss. After the storm the fields looked
as though they had been moved. The
corn was cut off and drove into the
ground, but the last two days of sun
shine has made great change in it
and we are in hopes that there will be
some corn.

A delightful piano-forte recital was
given last Friday afternoon in Assump-

and was listened to with rapt attention
by large company of invited guests.

she interprets with poetic grace that
