One of the most hopeful signs In modern party politics is the proposal and Intention of both candidates for the presidency to make public the money which have been, received for campaign purposes. Any amount of legislation would not have gained the same object. That the movement should have come from the candidates themselves is a guarantee not only that there will be complete publicity In this campaign but in succeeding ones. There Is little doubt that this precedent will in time become as binding as the one which George Washington set in regard to a third term. It will be a great safeguard against corruption in politics and it reflects honor and credit on both of the candidates that each should vie with the other lu their efforts to atain absolute openess in regard to the amounts received. It will be interesting to know how much money it costs to elect a president of these United States. There is an enormous amount expended in the fight. Traveling expenses of the candidates and spellbinders, literature rent of places of meeting, and the actual cost of the voting at tie polls will be gTeat. The next step will be to lay before the public the way in which the money Is spent. When this is known, there might be some inquiry made into how much it costs to gain the nomination for offices. That would not only clarify the atmosphere in doing away with much graft and corruption but it would toa large extent act in favor of the man of moderate means going into politics. It is commonly said and believed that a man who has spent a large sum of money in obtaining the office Is partly justified in getting it back by rake

should be apologized for is appalling, but it is human nature. But -with reduced campaign expenses and the real publicity which is sure to come may we not hope for better things? Both Taft and Bryan have declared against the acceptance of money from corporations. This is well. Neither candidate will suffer, but each will gain. The time has come when the people of the United States want government without a suspicious Interference on the part of corporations. The country recognizes that business interests of the country will be endangered. But it realinzes that good government will not hurt the business of the country. Unless a corporation is disobeying the laws of the land it need not fear a man like Taft. The growing tendency of the candidates for the highest office in the land to be free from all pre-eampaign promises and entaglements is the country's best assurance that we are going to have honest government.

THE IDEAL LEGISLATOR. The ideal legislator should above all things have three cardinal qualities: Capability. Honesty. Fearlessness. By capability we mean that he should be informed on the law, able to understand the meaning of laws already passed and those under consideration. He should be able for example, to distinguish a blind tiger bill when he sees it. By capability we mean that ho knows what laws are necessary. He should be informed as to local conditions all over the state so that he may legislate wisel3'. Let him know when people are disobeying the law or evading it on technicalities. On the liquor question he ought to know that men sell liquor illicitly. The ideal legislator should know the difference between local option and the remonstrance law. If he can not he must be stupid or willfully blind in either case incompetent. By capability we mean a man who will act without having his whole constituency force him into action. The man should be able to act "without studying the situation." Such is capability. By honesty we mean a man who has an opinion on every subject which comes before his notice which is deeply grounded in his character. By honesty we mean not only that of dollars and cents, but of squareness on every proposition. We do not mean a man who says one thing one day and another thing another day, according to which side he is talking to. We do not mean a man who waits to see how the cat will jump. We mean a man who comes out definitely on one side or the other and stays there. Honest opinion may be disagreed with. It is never despised. But a man who will evade a direct question is not honest. It is a principle of logic that a thing Is either so or not so; there is no middle ground. The ideal legislator must always recognize this and act on it, else he will not merit the honest regard of his constituency. But above all things he must be fearless let him act. Let him show his colors. The timorous soul who is afraid to speak out will bear the just criticism of those who are honestly on one side or the other. What avails capability and honesty in expression, If the man be afraid to act? The people of Wayne County want an ideal legislator. Is there a dearth of capability, honesty and fearlessness in this county? MAN 10 SUICIDE Thought He Was to Have Fatal Illness. Cleveland, O., July 20. Melancholy, caused by a dream that he soon was to have a fatal illness, drove Gerrit J. Voskarap, aged 55 years, to hang himself from a clothes hook, in the kitchen of his home Sunday. Voskamp had been out of work all winter and was near a nervous collapse. When he dreamed a week ago that he was to die in a short time of a disease that would bring terrible agony, Voskamp worried until he was unable to sleep. Obtaining a piece of clothes line, about threo feet in length, Voskamp tied one end to the clothes hook, the other end around his neck and rolled off a chair. He slowly strangled to death. Here's a Way to Save. l)on t measure the cost or your weekly wash bill by what you pay the washerwoman. If she uses poor materials you must add the cost of the garments as well.

HIBERNIAN CHIEF GIVEN OVATION

National President of Order Received Applause Unexpected. CANDIDATES ARE INITIATED. SIXTY-FIVE WERE TAKEN IN LAST NIGHT NATIONAL CONVENTION BEGINS ITS WORK AT INDIANAPOLIS. Indianapolis, July 20. When Matthew Cummings, national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, which holds its national convention in this city, beginning today, arose to address some four hundred members of the order following the initiation last night at the Knights of Columbus hall, Washington street, between Meridian and Pennsylvania streets, he was given an ovation such as he had little expected. For ten minutes, while Maurice Donnelly, who presided during the initiatory ceremonies, vainly endeavored to get order, the visiting delegates and local members cheered lustily, applauded vigorously and shouted, "You're the boy! You're the stuff!" and similar greetings. It was the first time President Cummings had addressed an assemblage of delegates and members of the order since his arrival in Indianapolis last week. When order was finally secured President Cummings made a spirited address in which he said the rapid growth of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, has been due to the preservation of the faith and the nationality of the Irish. During the last few years he said, the order has shown a net increase in membership of 10,000 per year. Other reasons given by the president for the steady growth in membership were that It "meddles in no factional matters" and "clings steadfastly to the cause of Ireland's Independence." Preface to Convention. As a starter to the convention sixty-five candidates were initiated into the order last night under the auspices of the Marion County organization. All of the national officers, including the Rev. J. D. Kennedy, national chaplain, of Danbury, Conn., who arrived yesterday, were present. The initiation was conducted by John H. Mar honey, president of the Marion County organization, assisted by Paul Boner, Patrick Callahan, Patrick J. Kennedy, Michael Casseley, Barth Kavanaugh, Martin Kelly, John O'Brien, Daniel Foley, James Glenman, Patrick Spellman, Michael Cummins, Patrick Walsh and Thomas Hannon. The choir was led by Martin P. Grady. Two reception committees, working under the direction of Frank P. Bailey, chairman of theenral reception committee, remained on duty all of last night, meeting arriving delegates at both the Union and Traction Terminal stations. Over 100 delegates from the Ladies' Auxiliary have reached the city also. One of the arrivals yesterday was Michael Corcoran, aged 76, living near the Canadian line in Minnesota. He has never missed a Hibernian national convention and he has been a member of the order since he was thirtytwo years of age. The big formal reception will be held tonight at Tomlinson hall. ROYAL WEDDING TO BE IN OCTOBER Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Elkins to Wed. Rome, July 20. The marriage of the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins will take place early in October at Turin. A definite announcement regarding the arrangements for the royal wedding has been issued from a semiofficial source in answer to the publication of a story in a Roman newspaper casting doubt on the marriage taking place. The note states that the Duke will leave the battle ship Regina Elena, September 30, and the marriage will be solemnized in the early days of October at Turin. The Duke will not go to Washington again before his marriage. MARKED ATTENDED BY 1500 PEOPLE Popularity of Busy Place Is Growing.

BEGONE, A BE Secretary Taft, Member of Shovel Engineers. Hot Springs, Va., July 20. WTien Wijliam Howard Taft goes to Cincinnati to make his speech of acceptance he will have the union label pinned on his coat. In response to an official no tification that he has been elected an honorary member of the International Brotherhood of Steam Shovel Engineers, he made an appointment by let ter today with T. J. Dolan, of Chicago, President of the union, to meet the organization's Executive Committee on July 28. He will then be formally notified of his election to the Union. Mr. Taft came into contact with this trade very frequently while he was Secretary of War, as he had dealings with them while they were working on the Panama Canal. KEEN" OF EAR.' Hoki Rave a Finer Sense of HearingThan You Imagine. "Hogs have a much keener sense of hearing than most people seem to think." said a man from the country. "They can see well and at a considerable distance, but the nose and eyes of the hog must give first place to the ears. "This is so, no doubt, because hearing is probably the most useful of the senses in the hog life, particularly at that Beason of the year when the hog in the wild state must rely upon the fruitage of trees in the main for food. Even with this advantage it Is frequently a fierce race to see which hog can get there first. It would be interesting to know Just how far a hog can hear au acorn fall. It is remarkable how quickly they become cognizant of the fact that an acorn has been blown from its outer 6hell and tumbled toward the ground, and he seems to catch the sound quicker when he knows a competitor is near who will run him a race for the nut. I have witnessed some fierce and interesting races between hogs with an acorn as the 6take. "Put a hog within twenty yards of an oak and in nine cases out of ten he will beat the acorn to the place. In nine cases out of ten the hog will be within a few feet of where the acorn strikes the ground, another fact which argues the superiority of the hog's beariug. He can apparently tell pretty well by the sound where the acorn will fall, and he will rarely miss it more than a few feet." New Orleans Times-Democrat. SERIOUSLY INJURED. Eaton, O., Man Badly Bruised and Cut. Eaton, O., July 20. While unloading freight upon his dray at Eaton. Saturday, a car was backed down upon Elmer Bennett, injuring him seseverely.

SAME WEAPON RIVAL AND Unusual Kentucky Tragedy Is Enacted. Glasgow, Ky., July 20. Haden James shot and fatally wounded Clyde Ballard at a camp meeting four miles from here on the L. and N. pike. The trouble arose over Ballard trying to persuade a young lady, whom James had accompanied to the meeting, to let him see her home. The shooting occurred just as the congregation was leaving the grounds and created a panic. Ballard was shot in the breast by a forty-four caliber revolver at close range and will die. James went to the home of his parents, two miles further and this morning while showing how the shooting was done, the pistol. which was thought to be empty, ex ploded and Sam James, a brother, was shot in the breast, the ball entering precisely the same point as the one that struck Ballard. Both victims are still alive, but no hope is entertained for the recovery of either. It is feared that the double tragedy will unbalance James' mind. Ballard is considered a tough, while James stands well with the people. A "Woman's Tonarne. "Woman's tongue is her sword, which she never lets rust," wrote Mme. Necker. "The tongue is noi steet, but it cuts," wrote Erasmus. "The tongue kills more than tha sword," wrote Vesik, the Ottoman statesman. Solomon, the embodimeni of wisdom, wrote, "It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in a wide house." And St. James wrote, "The tongue is a little member and boasteth great things." However, the good King Arthur said, "Deny not to woman the proper use of her tongue." A Sore Cnre. "I don't care how severe a cold is," said the man who was not suffering from one, "I can get rid of It In on day."

OATS WILL YIELD WELL THIS YEAH The Crop Will Be Ready to Cut Soon. The oats of Wayne county will be readp for cuting within the next several weeks. The oats this year are not so heavy as they usually are, but it is believed that they will yield at least 23 to 30 bushels and in many places more than this to the acre. The majority of the farmers have just completed thrashing of their wheat crop which has turned out in many places 23 bushels to the acre, while in others it averaged only from 15 to 20. WOOD CUTTllNCi A3 SPORT. Chaunptonahlp Pairing and Cbopplaaj Hatehei la Australia. At many of the agricultural shows, which in the up country districts of Australia and New Zealand are fixtures of the utmost interest and importance to those engaged in pastoral pursuits, the tree felling contests provide the chief excitement of the day. Throughout the Australian bush there are to b found nxmen so expert that their achievements are the subject of discussion for miles arouud, and it is at the agricultural shows that these giants of the anie meet to decide the local or international championships. The competitors take up positions by the stump allotted, and when the signal to start is given the long handled, keen edged axes flash downward to the opening stroke. The cooper round a cask is but a sloth to these brown skinned, brawny woodsmen, who with marvelous accuracy and strength strike up, down aud straight until the hard wood chips fly Jn showers from the smitten tree. To him who in the best time most cleanly decapitates the stump the prize is given. The sawing contests, which are hardly less exciting, depend upon the evenness and speed of the cutting, and for the man wbo thinks he knows what a hard day's work is a share in sawing through a thirty-six inch iron bark log in a temperature of 120 degrees or thereabout would be the most perfect disillusionment Imaginable.
