that tits none of his business and
that anyhow he does not show
good taste to speak of political
writer's. when his own reputation
is in jeopardy. Was it not the

WHAT RULE FOR cA,1pA1Gs EXPENSES?

Senate su subcommittee has been appointed to
|2consider the subject Of further limitation Of
cam paign expenses It's members will doubtless
give the matter serious thought and submit a re-
drafted will work impartially The statute
now in force is VIGOROUSLY unfair. A candidate for
the Senate in the great State of New York can
spend no more than similar candidate from the
sparseIy settled State of Nevada a candidate IN
State where political sentiment is pretty
equally divided is limited in his expenses to the
same that be spent by man in a
solid Democratic State of the South. In practically
every State and in every campaign there are cir
cumstances that either warrant a much larger, ex-
pendture than the law allows, or il which ex-
penses up to the full limit of the law would be
gross extravaganza.

at some points, and Canada has not looked with
great favor upon some measures the United States
thought desirable. Straight talks from American

clear away misunderstanding.

, Neely's candidacy for the Senate
! with reference to it, in particular

81 = 4
If the Fairmonter fails to see the
Big Chief, he will probably be con-
tent with seing and talking it over
with some one delegated by Wilson
to hear the West Virginian's story
Mr.. Wilson, it is known, has read
Neely's announcement, in which he
based his candidacy for the party
nomination, squarely upon his
wholehearted advocacy OF the
League of Nations and to restore
the policies OF Wilson in govern
ment, if given the opportunity. It
is also known that the Nelly plat
form made most favorable impress
sion upon Democracy's stricken
chieftain, and he expressed his
pleasure over it to those near him.
It is recalled that in the Mis-
souri, contest now going on, Mr..
Wilson wrote n letter TO a loyal
supporter Of his, requesting that
he not become candidate against
Breckenridge Long, another Wilson
man already entered, and complf-
cate the Democratic politics in that
state. In this connection, 1t is hint,
ed that Major Neely's proposed Wis
may be with a hope somewhat
along that line A hint from him
to Mrs Brown that she would be
serving the party interests best by
withdrawing, and from all others to
stay out, while not predicted by
any of the politicians here at this
time, is not put down by them as
an Impossible happening. The for
mer President has a habit of doing
the unexpected in a way entirely
different from the timeworn rules
and precedcnts of party practice.

livery may be written when Captain
Ronald Amundsen, famous Norwe-

in his monoplane will ride a mail
sack containing letters written by
Nome residents for delivery to
friends in Europe.
If weather conditions had not
forced a postponement of the flight
until mex year, these letters might
have reached their destination =
week ahead of the time required I,
make delivery by the established
routes. AS it is, arriving perhaps
more than a year later, they will
have a priceless historical value to
their recipients who will doubtless
follow the affairs of their explorer
postman with intensified interest.
According to a report by Postmas-
ter Walsh of Nome. to local postal
officials, the letters were written
