Money in Political CAMPAIGNS

Publicity for campaign contributions
And expenditures is undergoing some tin
aering in Congress. II is urged that the
aw as II stands does not cover the case;
hat much money In elections may still

'ublc by the candidates and their cam
oaign managers. And so comes the de-
nand that the law be strengthened
Well, OF course. Let II be made as
strong possible. Let every expert
snced legislator have his say. and let the
BEST suggestions be adopted. There Is no
more incontestable proposition than that
FAR too much money is used in politics,
and that. In some way, the amount should
oe materially reduced.
But are We on the right track for the
scomplishment of that result? Will put

Swat the Fly!
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

This is the time to begin the cam
paign OF determination against the
house fly. He has always been consid-
cred nuisance: now it is known that
he, more than any other factor, is re-
sponsibie for the spread of typhoid
fever. We cannot get typhoid unless
the germs are taken into the alimen-
tary canal with our food and drink 1t
is all very well to be careful of santa
ton in general. to boy water and cook
food. but If the fly which revels in filth
has been in contact with typhoid germs
he Is sure to carry a few millions away
on his feet. and If he lights on your
food and you eat the food you are apt
to get the disA.se Therefore swat the
fly. Give him no quarter, 1t is not
enough simply TO screen your own
house. He has insidious ways of doing
damage, and there will be no safety
until he is exterminated. 1t isn't so
very difficult in the city. where 1T is
easier to wage war against filth than
in the country, but there are plenty Of
flies in the city, and they should be
swatted out of existence. Wherever
there is exposed garbage flies will con-
gregate and breed. Wherever there is
a dirty kitchen there can be no immu-
nifty until 1t has been swept and gar
nished.

Skepticism.

When homeward from a fishing trip
He comes with sunburned nose,
And talks of whales that he let slip
And of the sweet repose
He found In haunts of sylvan bliss
Midst fanlished gnats: in sooth.
The query that comes up in this:
oh, does he tell the TRUTH"
When in unwonted elegance
The timid groom walks down
The aisle, mid pomp and circumstanc
That interests the town,
And unto his prospective wife
He says, This is, dear Ruth.
The happiest moment of my life
Oh, does he speak the truth?
And when the statesman cries aloud,
Il crave no further fame
] ask not for position proud.
! fain would quit the game
And unto private life retire
Amid the scenes Of YOUTH

But does he speak the trutho

A Played-Out Game.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
There was one essential to the profess
sion Of high finance as il was practiced
In it's heyday. Secrecy had to be main
tanned The fhanipulations and strateges
fell short II the principals had too many
confidants or were reckless in their
statements to the press. After the deals
were perpetrated the same close-mouthed
attitude was held. What the public knew
was thing to worry about less than
what the public did not know and might
ond out. In the Investigations of the
sugar and steel trusts. the witnesses have
chosen to drop that assumption OF drvel-
ing memory made notorious by the late
Henry H. Rogers. They are discovered
so oddly frank that no one feels in the
least like crying for their punishment.
The sugar men gave up the history of the
Havemeyer regime with freedom which
left their. examiners befogged and con-
fused, utterly unable to question them
intelligently. One Of the steel promoters
embroidered his evidence with interesting
and intimate anecdotes. and another
made an appeal to the government to
take virtual control Of the whole blessed
CORPORATION.
