SENATOR NEwBERRY.

Senator Newherry of Michigan and his political
associates, convicted the charge of violation
of the federal corrupt practices act, have been
acquitted by the supreme court OF the United
States because OF the unconstitutonay of the act.
The legal given do not concern now.
We are interested in the question OF public
policy involved, however.
Senator Newberry hardly be charged
with conduct involving moral turpitude although
he chose to violate federal statute and take his
chances on the constitutionality of the law. No
vicious of the campaign fund shown in
the original trial. 1t merely proven that he
had spent money in the campaign than this
law allowed him to spend. AS the act is now
declared unconstitutional it never part of
our binding statutes and therefore ne guilty of
no offense.
An attempt to control corruption in elections
by fixing the amount OF money which may be
spent is of doubtful wisdom. One dollar spent to
buy vote is far more corrupt than $780, 600 spent
for publicity and brass bands
Public policy may demand an absolute limit
of the expenses which may be incurred in a
paign. Otherwise poor candidates have
practically chance In an election.
On the other hand 1t is desirable that people
know of the candidate and of the issues. With
the natural mental inertia Of the average citizen
this requires much publicity and publicity costs
money.
Michigan has, perhaps 1000 600 citizens. New
Mexico has less than 100000 Therefore to make
q law which places fixed sum the limit to
be expended by Il sensational candidate in each
state, would absurd Senator Newberry had
to reach and convert ten times many people
Senator Fall Allowing a difference in conditions
of travel it would require probably five times the
campaign fund for the former that would be
needed by the latter Therefore Fail, expanding
$4,000, would eXpend much proportionately
Newberry with $4,000.
If law can be passed legally which will pun
ish for corrupt methods Of expenditure, instead OF
for excessive expenditures, or, at least fixing
amounts in accordance with population and condf-
lions. IT would much wiser than the old
system
Our sympathies have always rather inclined to-
ward Senator Newberry because the government
proved corrupt act in the expenditures Most
OF the money went for publicity
The voiding of the act allows to make a
fresh start at attempting to control corruption in
elections.

INVENTIONS.

There are meny new inpen-
tions nowadays that people used
to miss without knowing they
was missing. This is one Of the
lucky things about living in the
goth Century insted of the LIST or
End. Another lucky thing about
living now insted of formerly is
that you are still alive. ...
One of the most important IN
ventions Is the telefone, wich
rings eny nour of the day or.
mite so you can taWk to some
body that maybe you never even
saw and maybe you Wouldant
even wunt to see. You can also
tawk to your trends jest as easy.
Wen enybody in the olden days
had a long peece of wire they
jest used it to fix things Ground
the house insted of wasting time
thinking about trying TO tawk
throo it, vile now all you half to
do to tawk throo the telefone
wire is jest call up and if you
get the rite number you know tx
actly who your tawking to, and
if you get the rong number you
don't.
Another important invention is
the elecktric lite, wich saves us
the trubble and Expense of tern
ing on the gas ever time we
wunt a lite and also makes the
matches last longer. Ever since
the invention of the elecktric lite
all you haff to do to make a
dark room disappear is jest push

Another important invention is
the camera. witch takes your pick

Thus wen you are all grown
up you can look at a 1lckture Of
how you used to look wen you

2 other important inventions
are the locomotive, wicn does all

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
HAT HOUSE.
BY Howard y. CARTS.

"Tap! Tap! Tap" came a knock
one day on the door of the h0l-
low stump bungalow where Uncle
Wiggily lived.
Come in" called the bunny
rabbit gentleman, laying aside
the cabbage leaf newspaper he
was reading.
"Oh, why did you say that?"
asked Nurse Jane, looking up
from where she was mending
sock for the bunny.
why shouldn't | ask them in,
when they knock?" Mr.. Longears
wanted to know.
1T might be the Fuzzy Fox, or
the Woozie Wolf" whispered
Nurse Jane. of you hadn't told
whoever it is to come in, we
could pretend not to be home"
But just then the door opened
and in came Billie Wagtail, the
goat boy.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily" hleated
Billie, while Nurse Jane leaned
back in her rocking chair to let
her heart stop beating so fast.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily, have you an
old, tall silk hat you don't want?"
Why yes, l guess So" answer
ed the bunny rabbit gentleman.

Make a music box" was the
answer.
Music box!" cried Uncle Wig
gily with a laugh. "Well! Well!
I've heard of many strange things
in my time, Billie Boy, but /
never yet heard of making a mu-
sic box out of a rabbit gentle
mans tall, silk hiatt"
"Tll show you how it's done"
spoke Billie with smile. You
just come with me, Uncle Wig
gily," ....
"Pil get you the old hat" Of
fered Nurse Jane. "And you must
tell me all about it, Wiggy."

II, lduB HSu he Dullly, as Tie
muskrat lady came down out of
the attic with one of his old hats.
But / know Billie will play no
mean tricks. | am never too old
TO learn"
Billie took the hat and went
over to his house, Uncle Wig
gily following. With one of his
mothers knives Billie cut a
round hole in the top of the old
silk hat.
Is that for the music to come
out Of, Billie ?" asked Uncle Wig
gily.
Yes, and for the music to go
in, too" answered the goat chap.
1.-THE music has to go in before it
comes out"
"Hum!" unused Uncle Wiggily,
puzzled like, This is a riddle.
But go on Billie"
After he had cut the hole in
the hat, Billie nailed it to the
trunk of tree, in shady place
and where some branches would
keep off the rain. But to make
sure no water or snow would
drip down on the hat, the goat
boy built little roof over it of
white birch bark. ....

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 3.-Shortage Of
wheat at terminal markets led to
an upward swing in prices today
for May in particular. There was
o buoyant close at IN C to S% C net
advance, with May $1.42A to
$1.424 and July SIP to $1.12h
Corn gained 12c to hc and oats
'Hc to hc. Provisions varied from
12hc decline to l5c advance.
1t was a generally accepted opin-
ion that wether or not there was
plenty of wheat in the hands of
growers, very little was in position
to be available for immediate use.
Meanwhile evidence accumu-
lated that May holdings We're
largely for seaboard account as a
hedge against export sales. The
few bears who Ventured to act on
an opposite view and who there
fore sold May, saw the market go
against them as much as cents a
bushel in some cases. Meanwhile,
the July option in which the great
bulk of the pit trade centered, was
bullishly affected in sympathy and
also by talk of frost tonight the
prevalence of orange rust excess
sive moisture and other conditions
likely to iniure the new crop.
Corn and oats derived their
strength from wheat. Pork and
ribs were firm in line with higher
quotations on hogs. Lard was
easier owing to big stocks on hand
here.
Closing prices:
Wheat - May. $1.42A; July,

Corn-May. COO; July, G27sc.
