 ROsPERITY
LIMITING CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES

The lower house of congress pasS ed bill a. few days ago to lilhi' campaign expenditures in any state to amounts contributed by actua' residents of the state. Money for literature and speakers is excepted A careful distinction needs to- pc drawn between legitimate and ille- gitimate spending. Pay and trans pcrtation of speakers, hire of nails DOS age, secretarial work, printing and advertising, are legitimate. Any thing that tends to bring the real arguments of the campaign beiofe the voters in logical way is help full to public intelligence.
 Every congressional district mas a group of men who claim to hold political influepce. They are mixers" sometimes saloon-keepers, often peo- ple who frequent the loafing hang outs of the neighborhood, or whose business brings them into contact with wide range of people. They are mouthy fellows, who talk politics from New Years to Christmas. They claim to sway the convictions Of large groups of their fellow citizens. It is commonly understood, that if a man cherishes the honorable ambi- tion to run for office, it is good judg- men to "see" these men who have "influence" at their disposal
 Of course this is not bribery. The time of these workers is so valuable that it must be literally compensat- ed, to justify them in dropping the onerous duties of their regular em- ployment.
 But there is a growing suspicion that this influence, more Or less for sale, is not so great as the possessors thereof maintain. It is highly prob able, were all political machines and candidates to decline to compen- sate these workers, that there would be no difference in the result at the polls. Certainly if congress and the state legislatures could pass corrupt practice bills cutting off this great source of expenditure, it would meet with the warm approval of every one but the politicians.

The Gospel According to
 ST. MATTHEW.

CHAPTER 6. ! Take heed that ye do not your alm y, before men, to be seen of them: oth erwise ye have no reward of you Father which is in heaven.
 2. Therefore when thou doest thine aims, do not sound trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the syna gogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verify say unto you, They have their reward.
 3. But when thou docst aims, lei not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. 4. That thine aims may be in se- cret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee op- enly.
 ,. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verify I say unto you, They have their reward
 6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has tshut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth ill secret shall reward thee openly.
 z. But when ye pray. use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
 8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
 9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
 10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
 ii. Give us this day our daily bread.
 12. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
 13. And lead us not into tempta- tion, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
 IA. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
 15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
 16. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites,> of a sad counte- nance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verify I say unto you, They have their reward.
 IT. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
 IS. That thou appear not unto

men to fast, but unto thy Fathe which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret, shall rewar thee openly.
 19. Lay not up for yourself trea sures upon earth, where moth an, rust doth corrupt, and where thieve break through and steal:
 20 But lay yup for yourselve treasures in heaven, where neithe moth nor rust doth corrupt, ant where thieves do not break througl nor steal:
 2l. For where your treasure Is there will your heart be also.
 22. The light of the body is ths eye: if therefore thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light 23. But if thine eye be evil, tn, whole body shall be full of darkness | If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that dark ness!
 "A. No man can serve two masters for either he will hate the one, ant love the other; or else he will hold tt the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 9. Therefore l say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shal eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on Is not the life more than meat, any the body than raiment?
 26. Behold the fowls of the air: for they SOW not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedth them Are ye not much better than they?
 27. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? , 2S. And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toll not, neither do they spin:
 29. And yet 1 say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, o ye of little faith?
 31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shell we eat? or, What snail we drlnk! or, WhereWltnal shall we be clothed?
 3. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
 B. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his, righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
 34. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

A NEW WEAPON IN HUMAN
 RIVALRY.

In the Freeport, N. Y, murder case, now prominently before the public the most sensational element is the evidence that a wife installed a tele- phonic device in the walls of her husbands office. to catch conversa- tions between him and women pat ients.
 Devices of this kind have reached a point where their use seems like ly to become more or less common The world becomes whispering gal lery where intrusive ears will catch many damaging secrets. It may be said that if people had nothing to conceal, they would never suffer. Yet who is there whose secrets might be revealed without damage?
 This new power may yet figure in buliness rivallies. The competitor of the future may employ spies to place listening devices in the walls of rival business offices. The records of such an instrument would be worth great deal of money. This is scientific discovery that will need very careful regulation as it be- comes common.

PRESS OPINIONS
The Value of Common Sense.
(New York World.)


 Nursing various grievances-chiefly prisoners in the BlackwelPs Island workhouse started rebellion, and then another.
 The malcontents desired the head of Warden Patrick Hayes; and one way of dealing with them, dear to certain sociologists, would have been to present MT. Hayes head to them on a charger and say: Now, boys please be good.''
 Miss Katherine B. Davis, correc- tions commissioner, is not that kind of sociologist. She has been some thing of jail official herself, and she moved into the workhouse to stay while the revolt lasted She visited the tiers, called for delegates to tell her what the matter was, inter- viewed them and other prisoners and finally announced that order would be maintained at any cost and that the two-fisted war veteran who serves as warden would stay on the job. This seems like common sense. As long as jails are necessary there must be men to keep them, and physi- cal force when needed to sustain au- thority. A jaii is not a republic; it is not peopled by volunteers; it has not yet the initiative, referendum and recall of wardens. The workhouse rebellion should not last long with commissioner who hears complaints and remedies abuses, but who de- mands obedience.

NATIONAL HONORS FOR
 CONFEDERATE

For the first time in the histor. l of Arlington National cemetery
 Confed soldier, by name Thomas
 Findley, was given an escort Of cav
 airy from Fort Myer, the funeral cor tege was met by the soldiers whG marched with it to the grave, where three farewell volleys were fired and taps sounded-the signal honor paid American soldiers although this one had served in the ranks of the Confectionery all through the war.
 On the death of MT. Findley the Confederate Relief association appli- ed to the proper authorities that honors be paid the dead, which re- quest was most courteously granted without hesitation.
 Col. John A. Joyce, an old soldier and Union veteran, in an open letter to the Washington Post states:
 "Step by step for forty-ni2e years since the surrender of General Lee to General Grant the Blue and Gray have joined in the perpetual Union. The grand climax was reached in burying Confederate soldier with the national hOnOrs of war, by of- ficial ceremoies, and a firing from Fort Myer! Thank God for a united nation with the Stars and Stripes forever" ''.'

BANK FEEDS EMPLOYES,

Like many other institutions of it's kind the National Bank of Commerce in New York has president, officers good reputation and other desirable assets.
 Specifically however, the Bank of Commerce is operating a most inter- esting feature of it's business in it's meal provision for 400 employees. The entire top floor of the building is de- voted to the culinary department and the two restaurants which the former supplies.
 TO accommodate the large force of clerks the serving has to be done. in about four shifts. Mrs. Marion Schaffer, whose business it is to see that these employees are properly fed each day, says:
 The bank whose custom it is to serve luncheon figures that if a man goes out for his meal he undoubted- ly consumes half an hour going to and coming from the restaurant Then another half hour is used up in consuming his meal. But if he only has to go. up stairs, half an hour IS saved to the bank. Moreover, with an expert dietihan in charge of the menu, the employee is assured of a nutritious as we'll as palatable iuhcheon. And the health of the em ployee is of supreme importance to the bank, for looking at the matter in a purely business like ligbt if means so much less ia sick leave and substitutes
