BORAH | (Written Exclusive for TheBismarck Tribune): Washington, April 14.—The thing which I desfre most, to. secure’ is publicity, with reference. to campaign / expenditures. The meré question of | technical, punishment is\incidental. in my judgment. The great primal poli- cy is that of publicity. If the people are fully aware of who a man’s supporters are ‘and how much they are subscribing, their judz- ment of approval or condemnation as expressed in ‘his election or de- feat will be a sufficient protection. The Michigan election shows very plainly that we can ‘trust the people to deal effectively with those who| ac cept vast ‘sums of ‘money for their campaign and decline to make it, known who the contributors are, On the other hand, it is equally clear that if they are made known and are objectionable by reason of their in- terest or the amount ‘they contribute the popular ‘judgment will be a suf ficient method of correcting the evil. I am going, therefore, to urge as speedily as possible the bil) to the extent at least’ of providing for ab- solute publicity upon the and hope to have that provided) for by the first of June s0 all. who enter the conventions will have made, thei statements. Whether that can be done or no time will tell, but we will endeavor to push i through by ‘that time. i Indeed, it really ‘ought not;to be necessary to have a law requiring publicity for presidential pre-conveh tiog campaigns. Such campaigns are peculiarjy personal and it would:seem that a “candidate seeking that high office upon the first suggestion from the public would be glad to tell. who his ‘contributors are and the amount of the contributions, 4 If a céndidate, is.expending large sums of mdncy..from those who have special ‘interosts to look after and whose special interests may ibe af fectea by the in-coming administra. tion, naturally, he will seek to consult them. But’on the other hand, if they, are contributions such, as may be legitimately made and in amounts con- forming to decency, he will have ‘not the slightest objection to revealing them. To refuse to reveal} them is in my judgment the most conclusive evi- dence that the, situation when re- vealed would not be tolerated by the “public. { This Campaign Beats Them All For Pre-Convention: Spending We have had expenditures of money in this country upon a large scale. But we have never had anything like the expenditures of money that {s be- ing made in this pre-convention cam- paign. Any citizen in any state where the campaign is going on could be a witness to this fact., He might not be able to know juat how muclr or where it is coming {rom, but he can see upon every hand the evidence of a perfect riot in money spending, newspaper ads, billboards from. one end of the state to the other, head- quarters and paid’ wofkers' eyen on as large a scale as the closing days of the election itpelf, <’ T haven't any doubt that tlie amount of money expended prior,to the Re- publican convention will easily amount to FIVE MILLICN DOLLARS, This does not include the shameless effort in some of the southern’ states to control the situation through the promise of patronage. If a dozen men of vast wealth can finance a nomination for the presi dency and make a success: of it the’ same thing can be done with refer- ence to senators and representatives, and republican {nstitugions have brok- en down utterly. % By such processes, that is, by the sheer use of money, a,few men can control the government, shape its laws, its institutions and finally domi- nate its course. Indeed, that_is the very object of putting such unconscionable amounts into the campaign for particular can- didates. It is to enable themselves to sit in council] and either directly or indirectly control the affairs of the nation. ‘Men do not put up hundreds of thousands of ‘dollars and even mil- lions ‘in an aimless, way and for no purpose. They bave their plan and the plan is either that certain laws are ‘not to pass, certain, administrative poli- cies are not to be pursued or that certain others are. of apologizing or | sidestepping the real question involved, and that real question ig, who is going to control the government, a few men of great wealth or the peopje of the ‘United States. 1 ¥ The profiteers have made too much money out of this war to be willing to separate themselves from govern- ment protection for ithe next few ” years. ; System Will Win If Leaders Vield, Regardless of Characters I,do not care what a man’s charac- ter and standing may be in a per- sonal way, if he yields himself to the system the system will have its way when matters of vital concern to the system come-up for consideration.

Cleaned of Bob-Cats Camp Crook, 8. iD., April 14.—An energetic campaign by ranchers and professional hunters the past winter has almost\ridded the Pine Hills dis- trict of wolves and bob cats. Edward Scall, trapper, is said to hold the rec- ord for the season, his catches having netted him more than $200 a month for pelts alone, aside from the bounty paid by the county for ridding the’ country of wolves. s Stall, according to the’ statement of ranchers, has destroyed a pack: of, wolves, which for years has run in the Snow creek and Johnny creek country below Mizpah. Coyotes have been unusually hard to trap this season because of the large amount of dead stock on the ranges. Th@ per capita grain consumption in Italy exceeds that of any other Europgan country. ; ' 1 HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS !

BURGLARY RATES GO UP 26 PER GENT Servants Often Shielded When They are Guilty Thieves, Says Adjuster (New York, April 14.—An, increase \| of 25- percent ‘in, burglary insurance rates which, has just been put into | effect has brought. to light the fact that employers, made timid by the shortage: of domestic workers, are tolerating thefts from their wardrobe, and wine cellars in order to retain the few servants they have “in. cap- tivity.” Officials: of ‘indemnity, com- panies who give this: explanation de- clare that in’.many,: cases , sinloeees have. refuged,to, allow, the servants. in their Households: “to * be quéstioned | about thefts, through ‘fear that: they will quit if annoyell. | Emboldened ‘by ‘this situation, ‘dis- honest servants are reported’ to’ be helping themselves to their ‘employ- er’s effects, such as wine, clothing and jewelry. H “Servants are privileged charactérs in the hoines of the wealthy through- out ‘New York,” said the head: of_one surety. company. “In many cases holders of burglarly insurance policies have cancelled their claims against the company rather than to prose- cute a guilty servant, knowing that this would mean the loss of ‘his or her services.” One ‘New York lawyer recently ref- used to allow his servants to be questioned regarding a $1,000 theft, saying: “Don’t go near the house.’ if the maids suspect you, they will leave.” ’ One investigator, reported a. case in which a young servant girl pad, in two weeks, disposed’ of eight clses of champagne and eight cases of whis- key by holding wine parties in the kitchen for her friends and entertain- ing them with choice liquors from her employer's private stock, 1- though the owner knew he could not replace the missing beverages, he refused to prosecute. , CHIEF TO VISIT PRES. WILSON Helena, Mont. April 14.—-Chief Sam! Resurrection of the Flathead tribe, has announced that he’ will shortly accept’ an invitation from ‘President Wilson, given when the president last’ vigited the state, to call at the White House. When President Wilson was. here last fall Chief Sam and one of the dignitaries of the state. was among those who welcomed the chief execu- tive. At that time Chief Sam spoke briefly of the difficulties of his people and was assured that attention would be given the subject should he visit officials at Washington. The Flathead Indians inhabit what remains of their reservation in the west end of the state, and for years Chief Sam has complained that there has been too, much interference by whites. with the internal affairs of the tribe. Although Chief Sam has never at-| tended school, cannot read nor write, and ‘speaks English only brokenly, he is regarded throughout tlis state as an unusually ishrewd and able man, ‘He said he will take his complaint direct to the president and learn whether the bureau of Indian affairs can correct conditions. .

He must write with pencil, eat his food with his ungers from.a wooderr platter and never know a moment's freedom from the eyes of prison guards, Stroud was born in Seattle. He went to Alaska whén he was 18 in 1908. He had been in Juneau two weeks when he shot an elderly man, the rival for the affections. of a wo- man of 40 years, For that he was sentenced to serve 12 years.

He became a correspondence college student and studied rhetoric, music and drawing. Then’ Stroud killed his second man. There are two stories of the killing. One is that it was plain murder. The other, Stroud’s is this: A brother whom he had not seen for eight years came to visit him here on Saturday afternoon. .Prison rules forbid a visit thén, and Marcus, the brother, was told to. come on “Monday. “| was excited at his coming,” Stroud says, “so excited that | broke a prison table regulation in ‘the din- ing hall that ‘evening. .Turner took my number, and | knew that when my brother came on Monday | would be in the guardhouse, unable to see him. “Didn't Mean To Kill” “T stopped Turner in a corridet on Sunday noon and asked him to excuse the offense.

The reports from federal agents were said to have disclosed’ that the communist party was financ- ing and otherwise aiding the through the Industrial Workers of the World. Evidence which the department has received was declared to jus-, tify the statement that the strike to be merely a step in the known plan ¥f the communist group and that the,end and aim was a mass strike t0 be followed by a ‘revolution, Reports regarding the commun- ist internationale’s part in the strike were understood to have been laid before President Wilson and the cabinet today by Attorney General Palmer but those present persisted in their silence as to what decision had been reached at the cabinet sesdion.

Lingering Affair. Both. insurgent leaders and officials of the loyal brotherhoods predicted the battle of the strikers had: arrived at a stage where it would be a “ling- ering affair.” but, brotherhood heads declare the insurgents gradually were losing strength. Railroads in the Chicago area con- centrated every ‘effort to move freight dnd declare that 50 percent of the switch engines in the district were operating. The roads announced that a further influx of “loyal” brotherhood men from other cities had occurred. Coal Confiscated. Coal on tracks at Toledo was. being confiscated under. a federal court or- der to maintain operation of street cars and heating and lighting plants. The court order instructed {that 40 cars be confiscated daily. Warnings to travelers against at- tempting long trips. east, west. or south, because of the possibility of che strike spreading to passenger ser- vice, were issued by the railroads. Passenger Traffic Affected Serious interferences with passen- ser traffic ‘extending to overland ‘rains was reported on the Santa Fe route in southern California and the situation became increasingly serious. Reports from northern/ Pacific cities showed continued ‘improvement. A meeting of all strike leaders on the Pacific coast: was called for today in San Francisco. } Federation Disapproves. : The American Federation of Labor through its railway department, which represents. 700,000 members in eight railroad crafts, pla¢ed its stamp of dis- approval on the unauthorized ‘strike and urged all members of affiliated organizations to refuse to obey the walkout. Meeting at Kansas City last night, the biennial conventiin of the organization endorsed President Wilson's appointments to the labor hoard and declargd its belief that lar bor could confidently expect justice through the law creating the board. 100,000 Idle in Detroit. In Detroit. 100,000 factory workers were reported idle and between 40,000 and 50,000 industrial workers in other parts of: Michigan had been‘ thrown out of work with predictions that. more men would be jobless by night- fall. The strike situation in Michigan was reported virtually unchanged with the exception of the return to work of 150 men at Bay City and 35 at Luring- ton. The industrial situation in Ohio be- came more threatening today with more than 100,000 men out of work in Columbus and virtually every coal mine in the state‘closed. A growing scarcity of food supplies was reported in many cities in the state. A mail train was reported to have been aban- doned at Youngstown and the mails returned to the postoffice. MILLIONAIRES FIRE ENGINES New York, April 14.—Civilian vol- unteers to break the strike of rebel- lious railroad workers here were drill- ing in New York and. New Jersey terminals today and railroad officials announced services of’ several hun- dred men probably would be utilized to operate suburban trains. The first volunteer train for com: mutters on the Erie railroad was greeted at stations by crowds waving flags and cheering. On one of these trains Major A. F. Wood of Westwood, N.
