were made tonight that the bill re-
ported today by the senate committee
on privileges and elections, putting
further limitations on contributions to

vision does not apply to the candidates
themselves.
Embracing the features of the Cul-
berson and Henry bills, as well as
other measures, the bill would also
provide that it shall be unlawful for
any corporation whatever to con-
tribute any money whatever or other
thing whatever of value" that might
have bearing on the nomination Of
electors for president and vice presi-
dent, or the nomination of president,

THE POOREST OF ALL PEOPLE
Natives of the Arctlcs Who Have
Enough to Eat Are Considered
Very Fortunate.

/ have not known so poor winter
during the whole Of my stay among
the Dsklmos (now 22 years., says a
writer in the Christian Herald. While
the coast is ice-bound, the days short,
snowstormS frequent and the ther-.
mometer often 40 degrees below zero,
1t is not possible for the Eskimo to
do much to secure a living One way
for the women to produce something
was to cut holes through the sea ice,
which reaches thickness Of six feet,
and there they stood fishing for rock
cod, most days securing only between
five and ten fish The mission en-
deavored to help, but poverty was so
general that all resources we're taxed
to the utmost.
An outsider has no idea Of what
poverty among the Eskimos means.
At the best Of times the wants Of an
Eskimo are few and his food con-
sists of the coarsest of substances.
Seal walrus and whale meat form a
large part of their diet, and the blub-
Der of these animals serves in the
place Of pork or butter.
In China the famished inhabitants
subsisted on roots or some inferior
vegetation, but here the vegetable
kingdom has nothing to offer. The
earth is frozen and deeply covered
with snow and ice; the birds have
gone south and one might walk for
miles without seeing living crea-
ture. At the same time it is Of in
terest to know even these primitive
people have for ages found a kind of
substitute for food somewhere. Along
the beach, which ii known to have
plenty of seaweed, holes are cut
through the thick ice and the sea-
weed and mussels pulled up through
the holes, and it is on record that the
Eskimos have sustained life on this,
one might say, refuse of the sea, dur
ing the long winter months.
The Eskimo has no word for God"
in his language, and 1t has been fifty
marked that the very austere aspect
of life may have helped to exclude
the conception of superhuman
benevolent Being from the beliefs and
superstitions of these people Of the
Arctic.

Art and EnalneerIna.

The close connection of the artistic
and the mechanical instinct is shown
again in recent developments in
France.
France is doubtless the most emf
nent modern nation in the world Of
art. But in the past 80 years she has
come to be one of the foremost in me-
ohanical engineering; as the develop
ment of the automobile and the aero
plane bears witness, Coincidentally,
there has been at least relative fall
ing off in her standing in art.
This looks as If the demand Of mod
ern times had turned machine-wards
the genius which in an earlier day
would have expressed itself with brush
and chisel
The artist and the engineer or in
veh.or have the same faculty Of see
ing a thing before It is finished, the
same keen sense of proportion and
relation, the same intense desire to
put ideas into concrete form.
When America pauses from her rush
in mechanical invention, she will de-
velop an artistic power that will as
tonish the world.
