No Progress.

"since the first asphalt was laid in
Washington, nearly half century
ago." said Mr.. Welborn. one Of the
foremen in charge of the work of re-
surfacing Massachusetts avenue and the
adjacent streets. there has not been
the slightest change in the process In
building. there have been the most ex-
treme innovations, such as the steel
truss. the terra Gotta tiling, and the
cement-poured house, all revolutionary
methods, But, here We are. laying as
phalt in identically the same manner,
without the slightest deviation in any
respect. 1t Is the only construction
process l. know Of that hasn't under
gone most radical change within the
last generation, But, as It Is, We find
the old method answers as we'll as any

Wandering Guineas.

While the early risers near the
corner Of Fifteenth and L streets
northwest, were preparing breakfast
last Saturday morning. there came
floating on the morning air a plain
tive "Potrack! potrack!" AS they
focked to the windows, curious to
know whence the strange cry, they
saw, huddled on the curb, in babes
in-the-woods loneliness, dozen sad
and bewildered guineas, lifting up
their poor little voices to heaven
for help. They didn't go anywhere,
because they didn't know anywhere
to go.
"Potrack, potrack." they called
and looked around despairingly for
aid, until there came forth to the
rescue the household force of Sena-
tor Murray Crane. This, with an
allied troop of small boys, fianked
the lonesome fowls and corraled
them In a neighboring shed.
Five minutes afterward, a caterer
who had failed to close the door Of
his chicken coop, appeared and
claimed property. He was indig'
nant at his wayward fowls. but as h

SAVING THE ORGANIZATION"

Just about eight years ago now, Thomas Fortune
Ryan was dumping that last generous 100000 into
the Democratic campaign, in the face Of certain de.
feat to save the organization and to prevent the
complete collapse Of the campaign"
Gentlemen Of Mr.. Ryan's phiianthropic disposi.
tion have double opportunities to chip in this year to
save the organization" There are a couple Of
organizations that need their help.
Why not, Mr.. Ryan? Having given most Of the
Harmon and most Of the Underwood campaign funds
in the pre-convention fight it would be quite appro
pirate now to repeat the performance Of eight years
ago and galvanize the fororn hopes into semblance
of life, at least.

REGULATING CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The Times has published an outline of what the
Clapp committee favors in the way of campaign fund
legislation.
Among the new provisions suggested are prohib-
ton of gifts by officers directors of any corpora
ton; limit of $4,000 or $4,000 on each individual
contributor, and the publication of how the money
was spent as we'll as its sources.
The third proposition is the only Of these three
that be approved as an advance toward fair eec
tions. 1t matters very little whether the officer
director Of corporation makes gift or has it made
by his wifes family. 1t makes no difference whether
citizen gives $4,000 or divides up his contribution
among his partners, cousins or employees.
What does matter very much is how the money is
spent. 1t may come in $450000 chunk from
single citizen and yet be expended without corrup-
ton II may come in dollar bills from $50 900 widows
orphans, cergymen, college professors and wage.
workers and yet be used to bribe voters
Nor does the mere publication Of the items of
expenditure answer the purpose Of a law to purify
elections. The thing to do is to specify the proper
uses to- which money may be devoted in elections,
and to penalize all other use of money therein.
Then it will matter little where the money comes
from or how much any single individual contributes.
The limit will be expenses and II anyone in
dulges in them unawfuly he will be open to i'm
prisonment, and the candidate so supported will for
felt the Office to which he is elected.
With proper act against corrupt practices there
will be no more sense in campaign fund publicity
laws than there would be in laws requiring publicity
for any offense against the penal code.

Captain Jake's Birds.

Captain Jake Arnold, Of Dido, Va,
down near Colonial Beach. came up
to the city yesterday to lay in,
among other things, q winter stock
Of supplies for his strange flocks Of
wild fowl. The captain, who is an
old civil war veteran. has q large
plantation on the shores Of the Po-
tomac and has, for the last five
years. devoted himself to rearing the
strangest lot of birds that any fowl
fancier in the country can boast.
"I've got a likely flock of wild
geese, nocks Of every kind of duck
that freQuents the waters Of the
Chesapeake from the lowly teal to
the lordly canvasback, three or four
wild swans, and several fiocks of
cranes. and herons." he said. 81 be-
came interested in the rearing Of
wild fowl years ago through the pur-
chase Of a wild goose caught In a
trap. rescued the bird from death
and he grew so tame that, instead of
leaving the place, he attracted other
wild geese, who also grew tame.
Thus, I obtained quite large flock
of these birds. My interest In the
matter being thus aroused, I OBJ

ROOSEVELT AS A WORKER.

The New York World asks support for Wilson as
against Roosevelt because the Democratic candidate
works for a living and the Progressive nominee has
not had to earn his bread with his brain or hands
The World names several men who have done more
for Roosevelt than it thinks he has done for himself
delicately finishing its absurd inventory Of his
makers" with the remark that "Czolgosz made him
President" q,
The attempt is to prove that Roosevelt is an aris-
tocrat by birth and instinct while Woodrow Wilson
is intensely democrat with q small ID" whose SYM
pathies are with the working classes to which he
belongs
1t is sad bit Of demagogy. II he were to catch
the true spirit Of this attack on Colonel Roosevelt
Mr Wilson would exhibit the callouses on his hands
and his pay envelope, and his union card, and pull
off his coat like J. Sloat Fasset to address Bowery
meeting.
There is no more democratic statesman in the
world than the man the crowd halls as Teddy" His
good fortune in not being forced to earn his own v.
ing at least did not send him on the course Of glded
youth. He sought health the plains and could
have made his living as rancnman. As writer he
has earned much money. He has never held public
office in which he did not earn his pay many times
Sver.
Mr.. Wilson's living was earned as an educator
Mr.. Roosevelt has done more to educate Americans
than his opponent ever can hope to do.
II was fortunate for the American people, more
than for Colonel Roosevelt, that he chose to give
gloriousy to the public welfare the services that he
might have devoted to promoting monopoly and
amassing the millions that his brains and energy
Heuld easily have collected in trade

 WATER PEOPLE
Special Nugget osrvIeA

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-Secretary of the Interior Fisher has issued a warning that if the water power cor porations all over the country which hold licenses do not grant reasonable rates regardless of ancient contracts he will endeavor to put them out of business altogether. His method will be. he declares. to bring them into the federal courts where he believes he will find no difficulty in having their licenses revoked.
 The corporations exist in the East as well as in the West. Many of them secured excessive prices and continue to receive them through contracts which had been entered into when conditions were altogether different from what they are now. The secre- tary seems to think that such con- tracts are not supposed to be binding when alterations in circumstances render them unjust to the public.

DRILLING ALL OVER
 KOuGAROK RIVER

Gangs of drillers are now scattered all over The Kougarok district and lh. reports from all seem to be most en- couragins.
 Near the [. < roadhouse Mataon and Winnie have been drilling for some time and not once have they failed to get prospect. They are probably looking for dredging ground on that part of Nome river.
 Mike Walsh and Henry Moore are prospecting with drills for dredge ground on the Kougarok river at the mouth of Columbia creek. The place is about three miles above where the Kelliher dredge took ont hig money during the past season.
 John Moberg and partners are drill . ing on the Noxapaga near Goose creek. The result is said to be most satisfac- tory.
 W. F. Worcester intends to do quite an amount of work on his quartz ledge this winter. IL is located on the Kou- garok river near Louise creek.
