After a journey that seemed inter

inquired about the pot. MY fears had
been groundless. With the indifference

villagers had forgotten, after the

the incident of the pot. While there
had been some talk of raising it, nc
one had taken the lead. and there the
matters had rested.

good with reference to two OF the

Tn other states publicity laws have been recommended by the governors and the matter still is pending before the Legislatures Among those states are Florida, Idaho, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and West Nlr- ginia. In the state of Ohio a strong sentiment exists for publicity of cam paign contributions. The law enacted several years ago providing for such publicity was offered by Secretary Garfield, when he was member o1 the Ohio Senate. It was passed, but did not operate to the satisfaction of the people. The likelihood is, how ever, that similar law will be en- acted by the Ohio legislature at no distant time.
 The demand for publicity of cam paign contributions is growing rap idly throughout the country and ulti- mately will be recognized by the law makers of the nation as we'll as o1 the various states

CONTRIBUTIONS TO
 BE AN ISSUE

Washington, April 3.-Campaign contributions are to be made an issue of the approaching presidential cleo tion. Heretofore contributions have been solicited generally by both great political parties from all sorts of sources-from individuals, from cor terests.
 Now campaign has been begun for publicity of campaign contributions. 1t is being supported especially by Democrats. That does not mean it has no support from Republicans, be- cause it has, but the Republican party as a political entity, has not commit ted itself to the proposition.
 It is fact that many of the Repub- lican leaders in both branches of Con- gross are opposed to the legislation and, at the present time, there is lit tie chance of the enactment of the legislation into law.
 The practical politicians of both of the great political parties are inclined to shy at the proposed legislation, not because the contributions received are used for uterior purposes, but be- cause they believe that if such a law should be enacted it would scare off q good many contributions that other wise might be received if used for
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-04-04

perfectly proper purposes.
 In support of the enactment of a national law respecting campaign con- tributions, it is pointed out that nine- teen states and territories have pass cd laws providing for publicity of cam- paign contributions. These states and territories: Alabama, Arizona California, Colorado, Connecticut, To- wa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mis- souri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Washington.
 Some states have passed laws which forbid corporations to contribute to political campaign funds, but do not require publicity of all campaign con- tributions. Such states are Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee. It was be- lieved by the legislatures of those states that the desired end would be achieved by absolutely prohibiting cor porations from contributing to the support of political campaigns.
 Tn several states laws requiring publicity of campaign contributions once passed were subsequently repeal ed. These states are Kansas, Michi- gan, Nevada, North Carolina Ohio and Utah The law. in those states, were found to work badly. in the opinion of the legislators, and they, therefore, were annulled

Good Roads i'm France.

The United States is constantly
drawing information from other coun-
tries through its consuls, and from
Consul-General Skinner, of Mar
soilles, comes recent report Of the
French roadway system. He says the
French roads are generally recOg-
nized as the best and most complete
in the world. The highways OF
France are good not because Of any
superiority OF raw materials, not be-
cause Of any special talent for road
building, but because Of the constant,
intelligent supervision of the depart
ment having charge Of them. France
has 316,S9S miles of local highways,
built at a cost OF S3O8,S00,0O0 and
the interested localities $227,740,000.
In addition to these local highways.
the national system consists of 49,
656 miles Of national roads, which
cost the nation $3O3,975 900 to build.

Convention i'm France i'm 1908.

Minister of Public Works Barthou,
OF France, has been authorized to
call an international convention for
1908 in his country for the purpose
of considering methods to prevent
roads from being damaged by an ex-
cess of automobile traffic. While the
fine State highways Of France have
served as models for roadmakers all
over the world, the rapid spread Of
automobiling has introduced an en-
tirely new set Of problems in connec-
tion with highway construction and
maintenance. The nuisance in par
ticular has assumed large proper
tions since automobiles have grown
so big and fast, and methods of pre-
venting dust will also be carefully
considered. In particular the dele
gates will discuss methods OF adapt
ing present roads to automobile
traffic

There Is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and 10y constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by i. J Cheney & Co.,

on the market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops TO teaspoonful. 1t acts direct

Y Good Roads. =
Spent s7,OOO,OOO For Roads.
-Ey<

Indiana spent almost S7,O0O,000
for new roads during 1907, and the
most Of this amount since April. This
Is greatly In excess OF the amount
spent for similar purposes I'm any pre-
vious year, and is due largely 10 the
law passed by the Indiana Legislat-
ure last spring authorizing roads not
more than three miles long, when Pc
toned for by fifty taxpayers of a
county, provided II connected two
roads travelled by rural mail carriers.
The resources for road making con-
slsting OF rich gravel and limestone
deposits in almost all parts OF the
State, together with the coming of
the bicycle, the automobile and the
rural route carrier, have done more
than anything else for roadmaking.
Some counties have built from sixty
TO 100 miles Of new gravel or stone
roads during the present year and
figures will soon be issued by the
State on the subject
II is estimated that more than
thirty-five per cent. OF Indiana roads
are now improved, probably great
or average than any other Western
or Middle West State can boast. AL
though the new road law has not
been greatly in favor with public Off
cials, there has been no determined
effort so far TO test II. In Madison
County. where the greatest objection
is raised TO It, a number OF new con-
tracts have recently been let.
Indiana possesses some Of the best
established automobile manufactur-
ing concerns i'm the entire country,
and the increasing number OF autos
undoubtedly has had a vast influence
