The most drastic campaign publicity
legislation ever passed in either branch
OF congress was adopted by the senate
practically without dissenting vote.
This action on the part OF the senate
Is the direct result OF the Lorimer scan
dal. The evidence brought to light in
the inquiry into the case was referred
to In several OF the addresses in favor
bers of The upper house were deter
mined TO wipe out the chance OF
another such stain on the character of
that body.
The charges which have been brought
against Senator Stephenson Of Wiscon-
sin also were pointed out as cause fsr u
revising Of the present election laws.
Senator Reed, In Offering an amend
ment putting the total expenditure not
to exceed 10 cents each for the voters
in the candidates state, said:
The law Of Wisconsin requires can
didates TO file statements OF their ex-
penses. Yet one of them sits In this
body today who admitted having spent
$lt'7 600 10 obtain votes in the primary
election. Ii that is not tar to his

WASHINGTON, d. c.. july l9.--At

befs Of c0nQEssa from South Dakota
vigorously fought for increased pay for
the rural delivery carriers, and after q
struggle succeeded In securing the
necessary legislation. 1t will be re-
membered that the increasing OF sal
aries in this direction Was accompanied
by large amount OF speech making,
and the Republican congressman found
it extremely difficult 20 raise the pay
of the rural carriers la the face of the
Democratic opposition. However, 4O,-
900 rural delivery carriers are about to
receive substantial raise 10 their pay
envelopes and four million dollars will
be distributrd by the government
among that class Of It's employee dur
ing the coming year. Mr.. Hitchcock

postmaster general to place the post

rived for the establishment OF parcels

great convenience 10 the American

A Warning to Boys

Since the first of July any boy under
the age Of eighteen years who smokes
cigarettes, cigars or pipe on the streets
or in public places is liabls to arrest
and punishment by the courts. The
law was passed by the last Legislation
at the instances of the members OF the
w. G. I. u, who has pledged them
selves to see that il is enforced.
IL will be Interesting to watch the
outcome of this latest effort TO stop the
poisoning OF youths by cigarettes.
Heretofore the difficulty has been to
secure proof of violation of the law.
The average boy Is Of the opinion that
'snitch Is about the meanest person
conceivable and 10 tell on a man that
supplied them with tobacco, places
them beyond the pale of society. The
new law seeks to bring force on the
boys 20 tell 1t makes his use OF the
cigarette an offense. and the only way
open 10 him Is TO secure immunity, un-
der this law, is TO inform on The man
that sold IL 10 him. Then the punish
ment fails on the seller. Not all the
boys will tell but certain proportion
will do SO. This will have a tendency
to make dealers use precaution, and
II they do sell they are open to expo
sure and punishment. There are men
because Of the profit OF business, who
sell to The boys what is practically pol
son 10 them, but we hope they viii

bring them under the new law w.-Ex.
