LOOK OUT FOR swlNpLERs.

There are always swindlers hang
ing around every great enterprise,
particularly those of a national char
acter. Everybody we'll acquainted
with the history of road propaganda
knows of some of these rascals and
has expected some of the breed to
try to turn a dishonest penny in
connection with the federal aid road
law. One such has already made his
appearance in one state. He claimed
to represent one of the numerous as
seciations advocating the construc-
ton of through highways.
He urged communities to join his
organization on the ground that
through its help federal aid road
could be secured for the districts.
The United States government is now
attending to his case, so this partic-
ular incident may be considered clos
ed. But there is every probability
that like attempts will be made to
swindle towns, cities and commercial
organizations with an assertion of in
fluenee in the selection of roads to
receive federal aid. Such assertions
are absolutely without foundation,
and, in the interest Of good roads and
good government. they should be re-
ported Immediately to the U. S. Office
of Public Roads at Washington.
Any district or organization which
wishes to secure federal aid in road
building must take the matter up
with the state highway department of
its state, for the United States, I'M
der the law, can deal only with state
highway departments in extending
aid for bodybuilding. 1t is reason
able inference from the facts that
anybody who claims an association
he represents can influence the Unit
ed States government in this work
should be regarded with suspicion.

THANKSGIVING IS
NOVEMBER 3OTH

+ President Wilson yesterday formal
ly by proclamation designated Thurs
day. November 80, as Thanksgiving
Day. The proclamation reads as fol
lows:
at has long been the custom Of
our people to turn in the fruitful au-
tumn of the year in praise and thanks
giving to Almighty God for His many
blessings and mercies to us and the
nation.
'The year that has elapsed sine
we last observed our day by thanks
giving, has been rich in blessings to
Us as people, but the whole face
CT the world has been darkened by
war. In the midst of our peace and
happiness our thoughts dwell with
painful disquiet upon the struggles
AID sufferings of the nations at war
and of the peoples upon whom war
has brought disaster, without choice
or possibility of escape on. their part.
We cannot think of our own happi-
ness without thinking of their pitiful
distress.
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
Of America, do appoint Thursday, the
20th of November, as day of nation
al thanksgiving and prayer, and urge
and advise the people to resort to
their several places of worship Oh
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings of peace and
.unbroken prosperity which He has be-
slowed upon our beloved country in
such unstinted measure.
And l also urge and suggest our
duty, in this our day of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples of the world
upon whom the curse and terror OF
war has SO pitilessly fallen, and to
contribute out of our abundant means
70 the relief of their sufferings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude toward the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abund-
ance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in its train
'In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
OF the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington

not know; but it is competent tri-
bunal with adequate authority to
trace every dollar from its original
source to it's final recipient. That is
what ought to be done. 1t ought to
be doone for the sake of the public
ity that in itself will prove great
corrective, and it ought to be done
as a basis for legislation that will re-
strict and define the use Of money in
Presidential elections Not only
should the total amount be limited
but the purposes for which money
can lawfully be expended should be
enumerated. and it should be made a
penal offense to spend money for any
other purpose. At the same time, all
unofficial campaign contributions and
all unofficial expenditures should be
prohibited.
The English Corrupt-Practices Act
is the most drastic act Of which we
have knowledge and has proved it,
self the most valuable in protecting
the purity of elections. Congress can
not go too far in adapting its proyi-
sions to the American political sys-
tenn.
This ought to be the last Presi-
dental election which could be con-
trolled by money, and all the power
of the United States government
ought to be employed unhesitatingly
to that end This is reform which
will command the support of the rep
utable elements of both parties, of
Mr.. Hughes no less than President
Wilson, of Chairman Wilcox no less
than Chairman Mccormick.

-''z TOO MUCH BUSINESS.

The country is now facing a pc
culiar situation in that it is SO pros
porous that industry is being held
back because of this very condition.
This seeming paradox is explained
by the earnest effort by the great
common carriers of the nation to do
something for the relief of the freight
congestion. possibly the worst the
country has ever seen.
While many contributory factors
go to make up the shortage offreight
cars. such as hardness in loading and
unloading, the fact remains that ship,
pers cannot get cars because too many
other shippers have them in use.
Thus it appears that business can
get only so good, industry can prog
ress only so far before a halt must
be called. In other words the rail
roads can carry the products of only
a certain number of mills working at
certain capacity Extraordinary pro-
duction results in congestion. Wheth-
err the final result will be stagnation
remains to be seen.
There are many ways in which this
congested vitality affects the .ordi-
nary person even remotely connect
ed With manufacturing and produc-
ton of bulk materials This is illus
trated in the general fear that coal
shipments may be held up, thus in
creasing the price.
In the larger cities, notably Pitts
burgh, the condition already is such
that the fuel supply is hardly ade.
quate for present needs. In New
York the price is said to have adj
vanced to s12 ton. Smaller ship
pers have been placed at some points
on shipments on less than one car
load.
An embargo is threatened by the
great railways at Philadelphia, this
notwithstanding the efforts of the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
the railroads to find remedy. In
creased demurrage charges have been
suggested as a means of hurrying
along tardy manufacturers. but this
relief would not affect the situation
to any great extent
Mills and factories cannot operate
if the shipments of coal and raw ma
terials to them is a matter of specu-
lation. Neither will the manufactur-
ers care to continue full capacity pro-
duction if the means of shipment is
more of a gamble than a business
transaction. The result probably will
try.

BuYING THE PRESIDENCY.
New York World J


The American people cannot long
er tolerate political system under
which the Presidency can be bought.
That attempts are made IN every
campaign to buy it is notorious. Ev-
cry managing politician in both par
ties knows the methods that are us
ed.
What those methods are was dra-
matioally revealed in the Adams
county investigation in Ohio, when it
was shown that an entire constitu-
ency was bought and sold in every
election. What the actual effect of
those methods are was shown in f..
H. Harriman's letter to Sidney Web
ster in which the great railroad man
ipulator boosted that with the $780,
600 that he raised in Wall street, af-
ter his visit to President Roosevelt a
week before election in 1904, "at
least 10000 votes were turned in the
city of New York alone, making a
difference of 100000 votes in the gen
eral result
The existing system of political cor
ruption in the United States dates
from Mark Hanna and the campaign
of 1896. There had been plenty OF
sporadic and local corruption in var.
ious states previous to the Hanna re.
gime, but under Hanna political cor.
ruption was organized and centraliz-
ed as it never had been before. 1t
was no longer confined to the large
cities where it could be dealt with,
but it was extended to the country
districts where voters were bribed
under the pretense of paying them for
their time in going to the polls.
That method still prevails in the
great debatable states. and there is
not the slightest doubt that hundreds
of thousands of dollars we're spent for
that purpose on November Z in New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana, Illinois and elsewhere. 1t is
more than probable that at least two
of the Hughes states, Connecticut and
Indiana, were carried by the brute
power of money
