I0 CONGRESS
The RAILROADS
Urges the Passage Of the
Corrupt Practices Act Reg
ulating the Expenditure Of
Money In Elections and Fa-
vors More Freedom of Com
bination to Those Engaged
In Foreign Commerce.

noting the foreign commerce of the
country than is now thought by some
to be legal under the terms of the
laws against monopoly, the bill amend
ing the present organic law OF Porto
Rico and the bill proposing a more
thorough and systematic regulation Of
the expenditure Of money in elections,
commonly called the corrupt practices
act. l need not labor my advice that
these measures be enacted into law.
Their urgency lies in the manifest cir
cumstances which render their adop-
ton at this time not only opportune
but necessary. Even delay would Sc
riously leopard the interests Of the
country and Of the government.
Immediate passage Of the bill to reg
ulate the expenditure Of money in
elections may seem to be less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment of
the other measures to which l refer,
because at least two years will elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filed, but it would
greatly relieve the public mind II 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
delay would have the further serious
disadvantage Of postponing action I'M
til another election was at hand and
some special object connected with 1t
might be thought to be in the mind OF
those who urged 1t. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan purpose.
EnIarsins Our Export Trade.
l shall not argue at length the de-
STABILITY Of giving a freer hand in the
matter Of combined and concerted EFF
fort to those who shall undertake the
essential enterprise of building up our
export trade. That enterprise will

has indeed already assumed, magni-
tude unprecedented in our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talities for It's prosecution. 1t is deem
ed to be doubtful whether they could
be created upon an adequate scale I'M
der our present laws. We should clear
away all legal obstacles and create
basis Of undoubted law for 1t which
will give freedom without permitting
unregulated license The thing must
is here and may escape rs If we hest
tate or delay.
The argument for the proposed
amendments Of the organic law of
Porto 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 ere
ated expectations of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption
of the pending measure would happily
remove. We do not doubt what we
wish to do in any essential particular.
We ought to do it at once.
Legislative Annals Enriched.
There are other matters already adj
vanced to the stage of conference be-
| tween the two houses of which II is
not necessary that | should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be
found and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, prob
| ably the last occasion | shall have to

with what genuine pleasure and salts

the many measures of constructive

REGULATE EXPENDITURE

money in elections may seem to
be less necessary than the imme-
diate enactment of the other

cause at least two years will
elapse before another election In
which federal Offices are to be

The speaker cautioned the young
men not to be afraid of being call

progressive. He dwelt at length
on the Iniative, Referendum, and
Recall, declaring that back of
them there turks all the despotism
of public opinion. "The real re-

an experience of his boyhood, when
he with a party of companions
went to see a man who expert

man had wheels in his head. ooh,

"Oh, yes l know it will never

There is man in New York who
knows all the intracicics Of the tariff
question. He has made 1t study for
many years and has all the facts and
figures at his finger tips. His name is
Edward Henry Cliff and he is the
prime mover in the tariff league.
A group Of business men were
lunching at the Waldorf. Tariff dis
cussion crowded all other weighty
questions out of the conversation and
Mr.. Cliff who had been an earnest lis
tener was drawn into the talk. And
then the others sat back and listened.
He began to juggle figures like a
Washington census shark and he
lined up his facts so well that he fairly
carried his auditors off their feet. In
his party was a man from Chicago.
After Mr. Cliff had left. he mopped his
forehead and exploded: Gee! That
man knows more about tariff than
Carter knows about pills"

story had finished, the five Of us looked
away into space There was nothing
to say and a Broadway cafe is no place

Gene Hodgkins. known TO Broadway as
dancer but known to his intimates
as one of Gods noblemen. A few short
weeks ago they buried Hodgklns in
Louisville, stricken. heart wounded
ana demontcd hulk OF a man.
The story was told by his best
friend-a friend who had stood BY him
IN London and in Paris and in New
York. II wasn't a friend who had
loaned him money for no one could do
that. II was the one to whom Hodg-
ktns came when it seemed that all the
world had turned. He wasn't whining
but he didn't want to be all alone with
his memories.
Gene Hodgkins came from a fine
southern family He studied medicine
but he loved music more and so he
wrote music-not the twaddle OF the
ragtimc world. 1t is sometime hard 10
write good music and live and so he
danced In vaudeville but he loathed the
calling.
