CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

TT HERE is difference of opinion regarding the
4 bill providing for ante-eection publicity of
the campaign expenses of senatorial and congress
sonal candidates which has passed the Senate at
Washington The Senate amended the bill so as
TO cover primary contests, and this change it is
said does not meet with the favor of Democratic
leaders of the House
As passed by the Senate the bill provides for
publicity of campaign expenses beginning fifteen
days before an election, and on each succeeding
six days until the election; limits the amount
candidate may expend to ten cents to each voter
further limits the amount which may be expended
to $4,000 for Senatorial candidates and IS 700 for
candidates for the House; makes obligatory
statement by the candidate in regard to any prom
ises OF political Jobs, and declares Illegal the
promise Of political places in order to secure sup
port for the candidate
The bill was amended by the Senate because
primaries. Democratic nomination in nearly all
the districts of the Southern states is equivalent
TO election. The contests arc between Demo-
Gratis at the primaries Practically there is no OPP
position, and a ridicuously small vote is polled.
In. the North the vote is much larger
The bill as passed by the House therefore af-
fects practically only the Northern or border
states where there is real politics Ii would be no
deterrent TO corruption in the politics of the South
the Democratic primary contests. If the Demo-
Gratis in the House sincere in their professions
for clean elections they will support the measure
amended by the Senate.

Editorial Opinion
Women's Larger Feet

NOmen's Larger Feet
New York World
Shoe-manufacturers report that the
American woman's foot has grown
larger. There is now practically no
demand for the No. 2 size, and
whereas twenty years ago the size
Of shoe most in demand for women's
year ranged between three and five
It is at present from four to five.
Devotion TO athletic sports and to
outdoor life, as well as the larger
participation of women in commercial
vocations, has directly helped to en-
large their feet. Women walk more
than they did a generation ago.
whether in business pursuits or for
pleasure. The better scale Of living
has also had an influence in causing
the change; the larger foot has come
with the larger physique.
Another and important cause is the
eradication of the false feminine
pride in tiny feet. The lay Of the
tight shoe for appearances sake has
pretty nearly gone, and in this re-
spect American women may be said 10
have undergone an emancipation al
most comparable with that of the
Chinese women.

Stories of the Day
HE WAS FASuY SATISFIED.


The circus had come to a certain
Southern town last summer. Just be-
fore the parade a prosperous looking
negro approached the manager of the
show, doffed his hat and said: Did
you-all showmen know you has youh
show on my lot?"
The manager replied he knew moth
ing about the matter and ordered the
negro out of the way. The claimant,
however. stood his ground and finally
proved to the manager that he did own
the lot. Then the manager looked up
the real estate agest who had rented
the lot for circus purposes. The real
estate man came up. What you want
here?" he asked of the owner.
Muffin, cont, nuthen', cap, was
jes' tellin' desc yer show folks they

We'll, don't you know you can't keep
people off your lot unless it is fenced?
They can play ball or it, or dig bait on
it, or have a show on it, or pasture
their COWS on it, so long as it isn't
fenced and no house is on it "

ously. "All right, co'nl, all right. l

THE ROY AM THE Bile.

A fat man was complacently pursu-
ing his way through an East End cross
street. He carried an open umbrella
and occasionally wiped his moist face
on q large silk handkerchief.
Suddenly around the corner came
small boy on a bicycle. He turned so
quickly that the fat man had no time
to get out of the way. Nor had the boy
any chance to sheer from his bulky
obstacle.
The front wheel struck the fat man
a CHANGING blow, shaking his dignity
and scraping his leg.
As for the boy he and the bicycle
went down with a crash But the Lad
was up again in a moment, and, rails
ing the bicycle bent over it solicit
ously.
The fat man was mad He was so
mad that he sputtered incoherentiy,
and then with a vicious swing of one
of his tan shoes kicked a spoke out of
the offending wheel.
There" he roared. 81 guess that will
teach you not to ride on the side
walk"
The boy stared at the dangling
spoke.
What did you'se do that for?" he
whined ut took me all the year to
save up for that-an' now look at it,
And he knuckled his eyes with a
grimy fist
The fat man was touched. His rage
suddenly vanished. He fumbled in his
pocket and drew out a dollar bill.
There, kid" he said, take this and
get the wheel fixed.
The boy let go of the machine aud
grabbed the bill
Say, you'se can have tn bike he
yelled, and scooted around the corner
as fast as his legs would carry him. ~

nothing unless during the next few months the
people of the city to believe that the proper
administration of city government is not to look
upon the Offices as places for friends, but TO
slider municipal government as a busnesS-like
proposition to be administered entirely in the in
terest of the masses of the people-direct tax
payers and renters of property who are indirect
taxpayers.
The chief question is whether the city is getting
the worth of the money collected by taxation and
expended by city officials There is prevalent
notion that city government costs entirely too
much. Some years ago when the new charter
agitation was alive, those interested in it esti-
mated that the official pay roll of the city could
be reduced by forty per cent. without impairing
the efficiency Of the city government. This of
course, is a large figure and would be great saw
ing to the people 1t means that money which
goes unnecessarily into the pockets of Office hold
ers could be devoted to real city Improvements
street paving and the like.
The city of Boston, for instance, carries almost
$4,000 men, women and children on its paw roll.
and IT costs the taxpayers more than $4,000, 900
yearly. Yet if the city of Boston we're managed
on business-ike principles, what astonishing re-
duetion would be made in that pay roll.
It is not likely that city governments will ever
be managed strictly in accordance with the prin-
ciples of ordinary business, but there is no valid
reason why they should not approach that
standard.
The Charter Commission has a fine field for ac-
tivity, and it is gratifying hear reports that the
commissioners realize the responsibility upon
them and intend TO draft an instrument which will
show that their appointment was worth while.
That will be the most effective answer they can
make TO the critics who have now and then been
tossing stones at them.

MAY MAKE A FINE CHARTER

q ONE persons think-and If is a pleasant
- thought-that the new Charter Commissioners
will prepare an instrument which will meet the ap-
proval of the voters at large They say it will be
one of the best proposed charters ever presented,
and that il will embody some of the best thoughts
of students of these questions. The conference
between the commissioners and Mr. Childs shows
that they are trying get at the root of the solu
ton of municipal government. We are confident
that some Of the commissioners will make a hard
fight TO secure for Wilmington 6ne charter
What a splendid thing it would be for Whining
ton if we could evolve form of city government
that would be model for other cities. And there
is no good reason why we should not do So The
commissioners can if they will. They can get ad-
vice and counsel from experts in these matters,
apply such knowledge TO local conditions and pre-
pare charter which may avoid the drawbacks Of
the present and as well as the mistakes of some Of
the new schemes now in operation
But whatever the commission may do will avail
