PURCHASING A sENAToRsHIP

The campaign manager for Senator
Stephenson, OF Wisconsin, is quoted
as fatly declaring to the senatorial
committee investig ating Stephenson's
alleged purchase of his seat that "if q
man hasn't the money he would better
keep out of politics" The senator
admits spending more than 800, 900 to
get the primary nomin alton, and his
campaign manager comedies that in
Wisconsin 5000, 900 is not an excessive
sum to spend for q senatorship. or
course, it is not admitted that any OF
this money was spent improperly-no,
not at all. It all went to hire workers,
pay postage, insert advertisements In
friendly newspapers and for perfectly
legitim ate ends.
But it is a sinister creed, neverthe.
less, that regards with complacency,
to say nothing of justifying, the ex'
penditure OF any such sum to get q
United States sen natorship, says the
Kansas City Journal. There is no
legitimate use to which any such sum
of money can be put without placing
the senatorship on the auction block.
There are plenty of ways in which it
might be legally expended, but the
disbursement of such huge sum
makes q political contest merely a
"sack race" between money bags.
A man who is 90 little known that
800, 900 has to be spent to further his
interests, even when furthered by such
wholly proper means as campaign
literature, advertisements, hiring OF
workers, ETC., may deserve seat in
the United States senate, and he may
have the "making' of frstclass
senator; but the chances are greatly
against this being true. If he is SO
unfavorably known that such sum
has to be used to overcome this
handicap of dtsfavor, he Is certainly
not worthy of so exalted an honor.
Under any circumstances the lists
should be unbarred, open and free to
all, not merely to those who have un.
limited bank accounts. 1t is q dan.
gerous heresy that "if man hasn't
money he had better stay out Of poll.
tics"
No question OF partisanship or po.
lilical policies and issues are involved
in the Wisconsin case. Stephenson
may be as innocent OF the charges
brought against him as any of the
"patriots" who are pursuing him
Or he may be guilty. Wholly aside
from the merits of the Stephenson
case, it may be set down with dog
matte conviction that no man ough
to hold seat anywhere which cos
him 100000, the possession and ex
penditure of which placed his oppon
ents not so financially favored at
disadvantage not contemplated in an.
safe and just system of representative
government.

BUILDING UP THE COUNTRY.

Au Interesting duu INSTRUCTIVE au'
dress was made recently by James j.
Hill, the Great Northern railway mag.
nate, who was one of the speakers at
the Spokane fair. Mr.. Hill laid par
ticular stress upon the fact that every
city and town depends upon the coun-
try tributary to it. and that there is
no use for city unless the surround.
ing country is settled by prosperous
community.
"The agricultural crops OF this
country last year." said Mr.. Hill,
had Q value of nine billion dollars.
"This means tn at there was created out
of the earth $4,000, 900, 900, from q
source that the same labor intelligent
ly expended should create els, 900, ,00O,.
600 year after year to the end Of time.
"Your great value is in the soil.
No nation ever continued for any
length OF time without soil. Iremem-
Der when your land down in the Pa
louse country was mortgaged for S5
and Sc an acre and it went for the
mortg ages. But these people, my
friends from Holland, came out fine
and made good money on it.
"You used to get As bushels Of grain
to the acre, but now you are putting
up with 20 to 25 bushels. But whe at
factory is not the best in the world.
Grains and grasses are good. Dairy
goes we'll with them.
"But If you don't raise anything but
wheat it will not be great period of
time till you get no more wheat. You
can't keep on continually drawing on
the soil for one resource. II you keep
on playing one string it becomes a
lonesome tune.
every one of you depends upon the
cultivation of the soil and you can not
maintain great city until justice is
done to the lands. 1t is not q hard
matter. In Denmark, a country with
poor lands, about twice the size OF
Mass achusetts, they have 81 sgricul-
tural colleges and England is calling
upon Denmark to teach the English
people how to care for the land.
"a great many people have gone to
Canada because they can get new lands
cheap. England has royal commits
sion that gives premiums to the best
fields of the different crops, not prem
iums to little haudfuls you display
here. They don't give quite as much

Ing his arms. and tire his opponents
out. This style of fighting could go only
with clean living. II became the
fashion for fighters to boast that they
never drank or smoked or dissipated in
n way. Even II Nelson's fighting
style was crude. his influence In clean
living was commendabie. Battling
Hurley. X. o. Brown and the other
rushing sluggers were all OF the Mel
son school. The spectators, having
Nelson in mind. came into the habit OF
counting "aggressiveness'' above skill.
This vas absurd. Who would give the
prize to the rifieman who fred the
greatest number of shots In 4 given
time. rather than to the man who made
the best score OF hits?
America takes Its tips from New
York. And under the Frawley Law
clever boxing Is taking the place OF
smuggling in our boxing bouts. New

Boxing Style Has Changed

@LEVDR boxing is coming In again.
The popularity Of One Round
Hogan's clean cut victory over the
rushing slugger. X. o. Brown shows
that the public is growing weary of
mere mauling matches.
A curious thing In the boxing game
Is the a In which new champions set
the styles. In John L. Sullivan's time
the man with the mighty wallop. the
savage mien. a consuming thirst and a
habit Of throwing COILS of bills away on
the street corners Was the popular type.
Then Jim Corbett. shadowlike IN his
cleverness, set the style for a while.
After him Fltzsimmons. clever. delib-
crate and a one-punch finisher. was the
model for all to COPY. Joe Cans learned
his wonderful style OF fighting by fol-
lowing and studying Fitzsimmons. Joe
wasn't a rubber. lie was an exceed
ingly cool and careful blocker and de-
liberate hitter. and no one ever doubted
his fighting ability.
Battling Nelson was next to set the
style. Bat became champion through
his ability to 20 in head down. take a
world of punching. never stop swing
