National administration leaders have let it be
known that they propose to ask the coming con-
gress to enact corrupt practices act limiting
expenditures in presidential campaigns by ndi
viduals as well by the formal campaign COM
mittees, and they likewise propose to ''put teeth
in it," The law will operate against the expendi-
ture of huge sums by the Democratic committee
In future campaigns, as well as by the Republican
though the lavish spending of money by the lat
ter party's executives in the recent campaign and
the raising of big Doodle fund in Wall street,
boosting the expenditures up to the sevenmillion-
dollar mark, according to latest reports, is what
has crystallized sentiment among administration
and congressional leaders to put stop to it if
they can.
The principal skullduggery at which such an
act would be aimed is the wholesale and promis-
cuous buying of votes, and both parties have been
guilty of that, though the Republicans have been
more fragrant chiefly because they have had more
money 1t has been passed out in one guise or
another-under the fimsy excuse of paying a
voter for the time he spent in voting, or as de-
liberate, cold-blooded buying-but the time has
come when the American people should not toler-
ate any longer a political system under which
the presidency can be bought
All the power Of the United States government
ought to be employed unhesitatingly to prevent
the attempted purchase of future elections and
in fact, to limit campaign expenditures to certain
specified purposes.

The interest shown by the farmers of the
county in the extension course to be given here
week after next by the State College is certainly
commendable. Attendance upon that school will
be practical demonstration of how wideawake
our farmers are how greatly interested they act
ualy in their problems, and how anxious
they to learn the best ways Of doing things.
A demonstration to the entire state through large
attendance at these lectures that we are Cup

undoubtedly will receive will be to him.

BRYAN, BOOZE AND THE DEMOCRATIC

The Commoner has hit upon already what un-

the 1920 presidential campaign prohibition
Twenty-three of the forty-eight states-practc-

issue is therefore national in character Even if
William Jennings Bryan had not taken up the

All this preliminary talk by members of the
next legislature that there will be no quarrel be-
tween the legislative and executive departments
during the next session, is really amusing. But
when you stop to think about it, what happened to
Mcbride and the referendum measures at the
last election ought to be lesson enough for any
body.

SAND BEDS LOCATED.
Gravel Supply Sufficient for Fifty
Years Found in Potomac.

According to a statement made by an
official Of one OF the local sand and gravel
dredging concerns, the sand companies
now have no anxiety as to the future
supply of the material. For several years
mast representatives Of the companies
have been prospecting along the river
few miles below this city for sand and
gravel beds and recently supplies large
enough to last fifty years were located.
Deals for the sand rights on the beds
rov are In progress. Until they are
closed the officials of the sand companies
win not discuss the location of the beds.
Recently Lewis Smoot started work on
:. new bed located on the Maryland side
Of the river between River View and
the mouth of Broad creek, and fine
quality sand and gravel it is stated, was
brought to this city from these beds.
For many years the bulk of the sand
and gravel used in this city was obtained
from beds along the Georgetown chan
mel. but this supply was exhausted sew
eral years ago. The sand companies
then had TO look further down the river
for supply of the material.
