Law

Columbus o., Sept. 5.-The Kim
ball corrupt practices act enacted bv

ture was given it's first practical test

The advocates of the Kimba;t act
believe that it will work a revolution
n the methods of practical politics.
The measure is designed to bring
practically every movement of every
political party and candidate into the.

feature is attained by the provisions
of the law which compel the filing

thermGre, that the statements must
include not only the amount of money
spent, but the amount promised" or

The new law also places 4 strict
limit upon the amount of money aGy
candidate al spend for his nonira-
ton. The amount allowed is to be in
proportion to the population of the
te3 ritory in which the candidates
seek nomination or election. In adj
clifton. the law specifies all things
that are to be regarded as legitimate
campaign expenses, such as advertis-
ing, travelling expenses, expenses of
halls and speakers, offices and head
quarters, the preparation of lists Of
voters, etc.
The penalties for the violation Of
any of the provisions of the law are

NEW RACE OF MEN IN THE ARC
TIC REGIONS.

New York, Aug. ga race of
people who had never before beheld
a white man or an Indian has been
discovered in the Arctic regions of
British Columbia by Whitman Ste
sarsscn, a leader of the American
2rseum's scientific expedition, which
left here in. April. 1908, according
to- a letter received from him in
2rooklyn today.
His letter, dated at the mouth of
the Deae river, Oct. Is, 1910" is the
first intelligence received from the
party within a year. Stefansson
says:

region supposed to be uninhabited

''This find is the beginning of the
solution CT n of two problems

Inns mem"
what became of the three thou
sand Scandinavfans who disappeared
from Greenland in the fifteenth CEN
tury?."
cor if neither of these questions
is to be answered, then we have in
troducted a new problem of scientific
interest:
why do some of the people of Vic
toria Land differ markedly from the
rest of their race? Why are they SO
European in type

SON OF SENATOR LODGE WEEDS
NBRSK

Boston, Sept Back Bay society
has not received such al shock in
years as it sustained tonight when it
learned that during the afternoon
John Ellerton Lodge, the son of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. and Miss
Mary Connolly. a beautiful nurse
from the Carney Hospital. a been
married in the Sectorys of the Cathed-
raj of the Holy Cross by Rev. Rather
Finnegan.
Several months ago Miss Connolly
nursed Mr.. Lodge. through a serious
illness at private hospital conducted
by DR.. William Sturgis Bigelow In
Beacon street. The statement was
made at that time, that, won by the
tenderness of his beautiful attendance
Mr.. Lodge had asked her to be his
wife This, however, was promptly
denied by Miss Connolly, by Mr..
Lodge and by Senator and Mrs
Henry Cabot Lodge, SO society was not
prepared to hear of the ceremony.
The Lodge are so firmly intrenched
in society, however. that it is hardly
likely the Boston 400" will attempt
to exclude the heroine of this man
from it's charmed circle.
The only witnesses Of the ceremony
were Senator and Mrs. Lodge, Re-
preventative Augustus B.. Gardner,
Senator Lodges brother in law and
Mrs. G.. G. Lodge widow of Senator
Lodges son, who died sometime ago,
and Rev. Father Connolly, a bother
of the bride.
That Mr.. Lodge has becomea Catho
lie was denied tonight by Represents
tive Gardner, who acted as spokesman
for the family, but he wou4d not ex-
plain the fact that "a Catholic priest
officiated in the face of the opposi-
ton of the Catholic Church to mixed
marriages.

MAMMOTH CAVE AN EXAMPLE
Famous Kentucky Resort illustrates
Necessity Of Keeping Before tho
Public Constantly.

THE Mammoth cave, Kentucky
how many people today know any
thing about this wonder of nature?"
writes william G.. Freeman.
yet, go years ago it was one of the
most popular resorts in the country.
and statistics show that IT was Wig
tied by 10000 people each year. Today
less than one-tenth that number visit
the cave.
What has caused this falling of In
INTEREST,"
Because Mammoth cave no longer
has an advertising man
I'm the olden days newspspe and
magazines devoted pages OF descrip-
ton and illustration TO the cave. AS a
result Of this publicity (Which was
given free, by the way thousands
thronged 10 the cave
When Mammoth cave dropped out
OF the category Of news (Which was
when publications awakened to the
fact that their space had standard
value) the free publicity
stopped. the cave was forgotten.
Mammoth cave can be made just
as popular today as Il ever was. IN Il
tells the people through paid publicity
what II has to offer. why they should
visit it--how they can get there ard
what the accommodations are.
The public today spends practical.
u ten times as much money for travel
ine as II did in the palmy days OF the
Mammoth cave, and there is no reason
why this resort should not get It's
share Of this money. but the only way
II can get IL is 10 advertise for II.
Il am indebted TO three or my very
good friends in the advertising bust
ness for bringing these facts to my at
tentlon.
1T is another strong illustration OF
the absolute necessity of advertising
regularly and persistently, week In
and week out-year in and year out.
The successful advertiser is he
who sdveruses all Of the time"
