The rising cost of campaigns conducted on a nation- wide scale naturally brought about the necessit of diligent effort upon the part of treasurers of large political organ- izations to fill the campaign war chests. The money for rom individuals i] with the government, and government continues to dio i In spite of the innuendo hington it can be fairly them has necessarily come to some extent f and organizations who must de: this is increasingly true as the into the fields of business activ and slander emanating from V said that most of the wealthy individuals and organi: who have thus given money have not sought to make cor. rupt use of the place of vantage given them. | Now and then there is corruption as a result, and it serves to cail again forcibly to the attention of the people of the nation the condition which has risen. The change in methods of national campaign mana has not been accomplished as a result of their initiative alone. There has grown up a body of lesser politicians, and many good citizens, who regard ‘a’ campaign fund as fai game, and there is a rush to get a part of it. The system undoubtedly tests the moral fibre of many candidates and officials, as well as those who are in a position as a result of their financial assistance to bring undue pressure to bear to gain entrance into high councils. The new stem of conducting gers campaigns on a scale has not grown up, however, without a reason. Cam- ign leaders have not spent money lavishly simply for the pending. The indifference of voters, te a sane study of the their refusal problems they are called upon to decide at the polls, their capitulation ‘to prejudice and whim, all have been factors in the growth of the men- ace of huge campaign funds and huge contributions. Will Il. Hays as chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1920 launched a “dollar a member” campaign fund and rigidly limited the amount of contributions. But the re sponse was not general as it should have been; the mone obtained was not sufficient to meet the campaign expenses, and it was necessary to seek large contributions to make up the deficit. The testimony in Washington has brought a recurrence of attacks on the system and of suggestions for a cure. The problem appears to be one of the many that cannot be solved by legislative decree—there must be a general participation in politics by good citizens accompanied by a willingness to help in meeting the expenses of the campaigns, BACK YONDER IN YOUTH How did the wishbone get its reputation a: good luck?

And Madame Zattiany was twen- ty years older than herself, and had drained the jeweled chalice to the Uregs. And: for many years more she had enjoyed power, rev- elled in it, looked forward, Gora made no doubt, to a greater and greater exercise of it. Power had become the master passion of her life. Like men fn the same case, she had fhdulged herself, during a period of enforced inaction, with an exciting love adventure. That she had fallen in love, romantically in love, with this,young man, whom sO many women loved, and who, no doubt, had given her the full ben. efit of all his pent-up ardors—Gora could imagine those love scenes— she had not questioned, in spite of Madame Zattiany’s carefully com. Posed tones when speaking of him, and her avoidance of so much as the exchange of a meaning glance with him in public. Up here “Mary” had ceased to be a woman of the world, she had looked like a girl of twenty: and that she was in love and recklessly happy in the fact, was for all to see. That had been one of her most interesting divagations to the novelist, Gora Dwight—but a phase. Gora was notadeluded. And this man Hohenhauer hag brought her to ber senses; no doubi he said, ‘that Prince Hohenhaue ” of that either to a mind both warn ly imaginative and coldly analyti cal. And what had he come up here for except to ask her to marry him—to share his power? She dis. missed the: Washington inference with the contempt it deserved.
