' New York has long hail a law re quiring candidates to report their campaign expenses, hut as they gave ' most of their money to political com mittees the disclosures were unimpor tant. Now it has a law requiring com mittees to report the names of con tributors and the amounts contributed, and another law enumerating the ex penses which a candidate may incur, "if this reform movement shall con tinue, men who are not millionaires . may be able to afford political life, . and . do it without extorting money .from corporations- , - . J From the Macon Telegraph. Wo have been wondering all along where the political editor of the At lanta Journal got so much “warm baby” for Its attacks on the Demo cratic party. An incidental allusion to “The Peo ple’s Party Handbook,” Thomas Wat son, author, by a correspondent of the Tom Watson Magazine, brought the whole thing out; that is, it brought from the cobwebs on a forgotten shelf the “Handbook,” and there you are— the Journal’s editorials; simply adapt ed to present dates, names and alleged conditions!

Bi Wonder which ono of tho guberna torial candlfiates Is to blamo for this unsoaBonnble May weather? A BASE CALUMNIATOR. A scientific crank with nothing else In particular to do has been entertain ing himBetf at the expense of unscien tific mankind by Issuing bulletins in tended to 'prove that strawberries breed insanity. He avers that during the season when strawberries adorn the fruit stands and appear at the dinner tables of the high, low and mediocre of the land, mental disorders run riot in the human family; that as the result of this distressing epidemic, crimes mul tiply, sanitariums overflow and insane asylums are taxed almost beyond their capacity. Here is a theory worthy of rank be side that which holds that the moon Is made of green cheese. Other fruits have claimed their victims for genera tlons—the half-ripe peach, the green plum, the stony pear, the apple, the scuppernong, the persimmon—but hero is the first Ingrate to point the finger of dark suspicion at the most delicate and delectable of all fruits, thq straw berry. It comes to us early in the season, at a time when our systems, so long deprived of the nourishment of fresh products of the garden and orchard, crave the delicate acid stored within its crimson walls. It fills the inner man with joy, and gives to his digest ive apparatus its first reinforcement over against the approaching conflict with summer Hie. Green strawberries are impossible things, for green per simmons are not more unsociable, but when ripe every one is a wonderful storehouse of rejuvenating luscious- ness. Avaunt, base helittler of the ruby queen of the garden! Thou canst no more bring- into question its pre-emi nence than thou canst “pluck the beauty from the sun dr with polluted finger tarnish it." political hash warmed over by the Journal’s cook for Georgians of today!

THE BIG STICK INTIMIDATED. Tho Philadelphia Record tells how, when President Roosevelt, gave a hint that he would he constrained to apply his Big Stick to some of the Innumer able pension bills, the sturdy Senator from North Dakota, McCumber, callod his attontton to the long array <!f Brlgniller-Generals and Admirals on the retired list. Tills abuse hns never been so rampant—not even after the civil war—as under this administra tion. Many officers In the army and navy have been pushed forward with out merit to the rank of Brigadier and Admiral, and then retired for no other purpose than to make way for ad vancement. of fnvorit.es of the Presi dent or of Ills official family. When Senator McCumber reminded the President of this scandal his attack on the pension hills was discreetly droppod. . fclark Howell spoke in tho Bod'd old South Georgia Democrat lc county of Lowndes yesterday, and the reports of ilia speecli Indicate that lie dwelt at some length upon Holm Smith's present, platform as compared with tils past record. . One of the hardest problems of the “stand-patters" is how to get full re turn cargoes for tho subsidized ships which are to carry away the enormous surplus of the country’s agricultural and manufacturing products. Accord! ing to tho official figures the excess of last year's exports over imports amounted to upward of a half billion dollars in value. So long as the high tariff exists the enterprise of the smug gler must he depended on to reduce the enormous margin between exports and imports. Although the Atlanta papers are still trying to hold up the proposed big ex position In ,1910 as soipothtng "certala” and ail enterprise already "assured,"-it is evident that the movement Is about to tall down. As the result of two mass meetings and systematic work oil the part of committees representing practically every Industry and class of business in Atlanta, only about §300,- 000 lias la-on subscribed to the fund of §500,000 that is conceded to he necessary to launch the big enterprise. Chairman Maddox, of the Committee of Twenty-live which was given the task of raising the necessary fund, ill an interview published yesterday after noon’clearly Indicates that lie has been greatly disapppolnted, if not discour aged. And when ono comes to think about It, tt must be admitted that §500,000 is a whole tot of money to raise by popular subscription for a community enterprise, even in such a city as Atlanta.
