ulate the expenditure of money in cleo
lions may seem to be less necessary
than the immediate enactment of the
other measures to which I refer; be-
cause at least two years will elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filled; but it would
greatly relieve the public mind If this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dan
gers TO the public morals Of the pres
ent method of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods of
expenditure can be frankly studied in
the light of present experience; and a
delay would have the further very Sc

Of those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan purpose.
I shall not argue at length the desir-
ability of giving a freer hand in the

deemed to be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles
and create a basis of undOubted law
for it which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape US
if we hesitate or delay.
Porto Rico's Needs.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of POr-
to Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges of
its people are not just. We have Gre
ated expectations of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
them which the adoption of
the pending measure would happily re-
move. We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We

As for Deacon, his old knees were

ached, his TANKS heaved like pair of
blacksmith's bellows, but he plunged
on, never skipping a single house,
never hesitating at a roundabout half
mile, doing his whole duty quite as
thoroughly as if there had been some
one behind to urge him on instead Of
a cold-numbed clerk, who had no
longer even touched the reins. At last
only one letter was left, a thick, bulky
one in a blue waterproof envelope,
bearing foreign postmark. Josiah
Braisted, ESQ.," was the address.
BREASTED, eh?" muttered the clerk.
Wonder if the old horse knows where
he lives?"
Evidently Deacon did, for he was
blowing through a big drift, heading
straight out on the Boston road into
the darkness. Far ahead, on the top
Of long hill, the clerk could see the
lights of big house. There were no
other lights between. Miles behind he
could make out the glow of the city.
The clerk wished he could be back
there, where one could be warm again
and get something hot to eat. With
numb fingers he pulled out his watch.
Half-past nine! Why, it would take
them good two hours to drive back
