Publicity and Campaign Money.

The House democrats should have left
tho Jackson amendment in their cam
paign publicity bill. In fact, they should
not have left the bill open to such an
amendment, but made the bill itself cover
tho point The argument was wholly
with those who wanted the expenses of
primary contests laid before the public,
Why not? In many congressional dis
tricts the primary Is 1.-The whole thing.
Nor is this true only Of southern dis
tricts, where the democrats have every
thing their own way. There are eastern.
and western, and middle states districts
where the republicans are impregnable.
A nomination is equivalent to an election.
Whatever money is spent finds its way
around while candidates of the same
party are contending. The primary over,
the successful man and his friends close
their check books and wait confidently
for the second verdict.
Now. It Is clear that this situation de-
mands as much attention as the other. II
the real object Of publicity legislation Is
to cut down the use OF money In con-
tests for political office II should apply to
all contests, whether for nominations or
what they are certain to bring. The man
who buys nomination buys the office
that goes with 1t. Why should he not be
exposed, If exposure Is possible by means
Of forcing publication Of all money con-
tributions entering into the matter?
Why spare him, and expose and punish
the republican who has bid higher than
the democrat. or the democrat who has
bid higher than tho republican, in a con-
test between two parties?
The feeling throughout the country Is
strong against the large amount OF money
that for years has been entering into
political campaigns. Dxaggerations on
the subject have undoubtedly been cur
rent. But, allowing for them. there re-
mains much cause for complaint Names
OF certain politicians are associated only
with money. They are either lavish
spenders when seeking Office for them
selves, or champion dust raisers'' for
party purposes. In the selection of a
campaign manager, whether congression-
al district. state or national, tho first
question relates to his ability to raise
money. and the second to his sagacity
in placing 1t where it will do the most
good. And unless a man passes muster
on those scores he is not chosen.
Meeting the difficulty with publicity be-
fore and after election is an experiment
which may or may not work. Some doubt
obtains about the means because of the
charact Of some of the advocates, who,
In or out Of politics, are associated in
the public mind with "strenuosity'' IN
the matter Of campaign funds. But as the
policy is on trial. why not make It rs
searching as possible? Why not make
it cover all contests within the national
reach where temptation and opportunity
for boodling exist. To make fish OF two
republicans or two democrats struggling
with each other for a nomination, and
flesh Of a republican and q democrat
struggling for the Same once is to cast
doubt on tho proceeding as respects either
its wisdom or its fairness.

The Police Woman.

The woman policeman or the police
woman has arrived. She has been ap-
pointed on the force In Los Angeles and
Milwaukee. The appointment Of woman
on the police force Is not 80 much Of a
joke as once It seemed to be. In the
positions to which police women have
been appointed they will not, It Is ex-
planned. wear the familiar uniform of
blue and brass. They will not wear
helmets. They will not stroll along twirl-
Ing q hardwood club. They will not
carry a revolver or handouts. But they
do carry q badge and are invested with
police authority.
These woman police have a particular
sphere in which no doubt they 1T.
Among their duties are the Investigation
Of factories and other places in which
mainly women are employed to see that
sanitary regulations are obeyed. There
are many women who would rather bring
their wrongs to the notice Of the police
department through a woman than a
man.
It is beloved that the woman police
will be able to control many wayward
girls by the use Of tact and gentleness.
qualities which some policemen do not
cultivate.
In some states. notably in Pennsyl-
vania. where there are woman factory
inspectors. women have long been per-
forming duties similar to those to which
these latest woman police have been as
signed. The chief novelty in the whole
thing is that these women are officially
members of the police force. 1t is prob
able that the example set by Los Angeles
and Milwaukee will be Of benefit to hui
manity and that It will In time be fol-
lowed by other cities

have become the most popular Rem
edy for Constipation.
We are so positive that Rexall Or
derlies will do all that is claimed for
them that we positively guarantee
ITO hand back the money you paid us

regulative effect upon the bowels and
tend to provide permanent relief
from constipation and the myriad of
associate ailments. Besides, they
help to overcome the necessity of the
constant use Of laXatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition.
We honestly believe there is no
similar medicine SO good as Rexall

aged or delicate people. They are
prepared in convenient tablet form in
three sizes Of packages. Prices, Ivc,
