A tre dispatch from Washington yesieraay was. as follows Senator Culberson today introduced a mil to prohibit corporations from maklns1 contribution! r, . - - m iuijuct;uuu with elections and to provide for iuo vuoiication or lawful contribu tions In connection with the elections. The bill Is In the nntnra nr . to tte law of January 26, 1907, pro- muiiiug national Dankg and other cor porations making contributions in con nection With thfl oWHnr. J -JJI if . . . ..v.vro aim auui- tlonal to law as It stands he proposes a provision making it 'the duty of ev ery chairman treasurer of any political committee w omer person who receives contrl butlons in money or other things of vaiue xur ur on Dpna r nr an.h nni h cal committee, or for. nr in tho tnt- bbc 01 anv caniiidfltA fnt a nniitui - - m jutibiv-ni office for .the purpose of aiding or Promoting the acceleratlnn of candidates for Presidential or Vice rresiaentiai electors 'to file with the cierK or tne House of Representatives of the United Rtntpa n otntomont writing showing the amount of money omer tning 01 value conributed by sucn person, nrm, corporation, co-partnership or association, not prohibited by law, for the purpose aforesaid.' "Mr. Culberson stated that tha nt of January 26. 1907 nrnvl.loa thof it shall be unlawful to make money con- iriDutions ror political campaigns, but he thought the law should go further and reaulre specific statmantii An nth. erwlse it might be evaded. He hoped mat tne committee on privileges and elections would use his bill as the ba sis of an Improved measure." Readers of the Observer will recall how strenuously this paper urged In 1892 and 1893, and subsequently, the passage of a law prohibiting corrupt contributions to campaign expenses and requiring the publication by can didates for office of their campaign expenses. It was during the war on Vance. At our request, Sir Joseph Leigh, M. P., sent us a copy of the British "Corrupt Practices Act," which we epitomized and published. We were ridiculed as a "crank" and "vis ionary". But, in less than a decade and a lustrum, this identical reform In our corrupt American system is at hand. The world moves, indeed. WASHINGTON NEWS OF IN TEREST. The Washington correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer, whose recent honors at the hands of his colleagues the Observer took occa sion warmly to commend and applaud, sends to that paper a great deal of news of Interest to the people of North Carolina. His yesterday's letter is es pecially valuable and Interesting, and we give elsewhere the most of It In passing, however, we regret that he does not seem to pay as much attention as we would like to the subject of our great State project of the Improve ment of the Cape Fear river. For ex ample, he has not included in his ref erences to the Rivers and Harbors convention, which sat last week in Washington, so far as we have seen, any mention ef the most important outcome to North Carolina of that convention viz: the retention on the Board of Directors of the Congress of North Carolinian. Yet that position in the only national one accorded to our State, and it was bestowed upon the person who happens to be chair man of our Fayetteville "Citizens (Tommittee on Improvement 01 tne Cape Fear." Originally, It may be not Pd he was (In 1901) one of the 7 di rectors for the United States; then, as the movement grew, one of 15 (1905); then, one of 23 (1906) ; and now one of a number taken from 23 States. ThMfl nosltions are much sought after, and the committee on nomina tions wrestled with the subject, as the convention was informed, throughout the three days' session. How the mat ter is viewed in other States may De . j fha fnllnwlner extract from the Norfolk Virginian of Decem ber 7, which is given as an example.

Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Thursday's papers' contained the fol lowing; Washington, Dec. 11. President Roosevelt tonight made formal an nouncement that he would, under no viuuumsiances accept another nomi nation for President. The statement was nrenarert at. tha whito tj... late this afternoon, and was issued s ociocK tonight by order of the rresiaent. It Is In the following lnngniao-a. "In view of the issuance of the call of the Republican National Committee for the conventlnn tVm makes the following statement: un tne nignt after election I made the following announcement; "I am dAAnlv fmnathlo nf th. done me by the American people in inus expressing their confidence in What I have dnnn and trloH tn An T appreciate to the full the solemn re- i)unsiDiiuy tnis conndence imposes upon me and I shall do all that In my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and nnt tha farm and un der no r.IrnuniRtnnrpR will T ho a mn. dldate for or accept another nomina tion. 'I hftva nnt. nhnnppri nnri shall nnt change the decision thus announced." ine statement wnicn tne resident thug issues to the American people is a reiteration nf bin nmmko nf tha election night of November, 1904". The greater part or tne statement which he now makes Is a verbatim repetition of tha 1M4 atpfpnionf ann tn that ha adds a new sentence, in which lie says: "T hflva nnt ahnnp-prt nnil ehnll nnt change the decision thus announced." The dispatches say that "many of the leaders of the Democratic party in Washington are shouting that it means 'Bryan in a walk.' " Senator Tillman said: "This is by way of documentary evi dence, that the President has seen the handwriting on the wall; it means that Bryan will be the next President of the United States. Roosevelt is the only possible Republican candidate who could be considered formidable." The President's decision means a recasting, we think, of the Republican platform In the direction of the Reac tionaries, and, while this would please the corporationists, it would unite in Mr. Bryan's favor all the antl-corrupt-ionists. Congressman Hardwick, of Georgia, is quoted as saying: I think it means a triumph for the reactionary element In the Republican party and a good chance for the Democrats to win." Congressman Bartlett, of the same State, says: rt manna a rilrTarent candidate and a different platform. I think the Re publicans will nominate a man on an entirely different platform and put into tha nlntfnrm thnsa thines Which would not have been put In had Roosevelt stood for the nomination. The Baltimore Sun says editorially: "Sarotnrv Taft has been announced as President Roosevelt's favorite, and his friends believe that the shrewd nniitirinn of the White House win know how to win votes for him in the national convention. The Secretary s vlawa nn most nublic Questions and matters of policy are konwn to be in accord with those of the President, and the latter is anxious lor nis pro tn Hva after him. If the Pres ident's course is really warmly ap proved by the controlling factors of the Republican party, Secretary Taft in default of the President himself would seem to be the logical candi date. But while able to get the nomt notinn fnr himself, the President, many persons think, will not be able to throw it to anotner. as tor ine PraaiHont'si views and Dolicies, tney koa hlttat- nnnnnanta in his Oarty. and any candidate for the nomination who Is identified witn tnem win on tho anonnnt pnanunter the more deter- minaii hnatiiltv For many years the Re publican party has been said to be much influenced Dy nnanciers mm tnyuuiio of industry who contributed largely to its campaign funds. Important elec . haiiavad to have been won ,wug ' ' , owing to Its better supply of the sin ews of war. These contributors prefer a candidate who nas opposeu wio rnriwi and aggressive ut terances." Conservatism will doubtless in thft convention to radi um vpjuuv - calism, and it Is now too early to de cide which will. win; but, m any case, there will be a bitter fight against the Roosevelt methods and programme. ... At thin writing (Thursday night) we do not know what the Democratic Na- tlonal Committee (in Bession to-day) has decided concerning the date upon which the Democratic convention shall be called whether before or after tne time already set for the RapUDiiean convention. But we Imagine that the elimination-of Mr. Roosevelt and of the progressive platform, upon wnicn he would have Insisted If nominated, will have changed the Democratic taotlcs and Induced their committee, to call the Democratic convention ror a date after the Republicans have shown their hand. "THE 8TRUGGLB BETWEEN GRAFT AND DEMOCRACY." "Business uuon the land, could not prosper until the brigand was destroy ed.' Commerce on the sea could not flourish until the pirate, was throttled. No more can modern business grow safely and. hroadjy' and firmly ttU the th!eves in office and th, .tnieves in business takg their nanas on; ine throat of the business world, and cease levying tribute." in tha rinalnK words above quoiea District Attorney Ungdon, of Ban nvanolsoo. announced the conditions upon which the business of the future In' this country must prooeea. u was he who, with Mr. F. J. Heney, has directed the prosecution of municipal corruption In that city, and the words quoted were part of his address he fore the "Civic Forum" in New York on Wednesday nieht. : After describing the conditions in San Francisco. which finally caused the civic upheaval there, which in turn has given such Impetus to the Pro gress of the Revolution In all parts of the country, Mr. Langdon said: ' , "But there are 100 like It tSan Francisco in this land, graft-ridden and cynical of government, the pitiful victims of the twin evils, selfish inter est and popular .Indifference. "What does it mean when the mil itary commander turns over a national defense to the enemy? What does it mean when tbe police, created to rep rsent the people,. Is turned over to the violators of the law to protect their vice? It means treason! -The graft which delivers government fa its foes is treason to democracy. i "When men in office take - a-fiflbe and give away what does- not belong to them, it Is more than the double crime of extorting and stealing, It Is treason! It Is a crime against gov ernment Itself. It is different from ordinary military treason In one re spect, that it is the long-befriended citizens within our own ranks that accept the betrayal, and not some openly hostile foreign foe. It is worse, because the grafter . stays among us and continues to corrupt government, while the traitor goes across the bor der where he can do little further harm. Graft, like a parasite, attacks not only the body politic, but -it finally cripples the very organs of - political repair. To be stamped out it must be viewed as a treason more horrible than a selling out of arms, for it is a selling out of the fundamental Ideas of right and wrong which control the moral use of arms. Means Despotic. "Graft means the despotic usurpa tion of government by the forces of crime. Such deeds make a despotism of government, as arbitrary as any we have known. The police no longer represent the people: they perform the bidding of a selfish, vicious and dishonest minority, using their own power regardless of constitutional obli gations and restrictions. The govern ment no longer follows' the letter and spirit of the law, as laid down by the majority vote in the charters, statutes and constitutions. It abrogates the law which .the criminal minority could not defeat in a fair vote. "What does it mean when people lose faith In democracy, grow cynical of government and cease to resist their political evils? 'What's the use?' that graft puts upon the lips of men. that Kraft nuts on the Hps of men. That is the disheartening, sentiment which is killing our reverence for democratic government, a reverence which has been at the bottom of every great achievement in our national life, 'There they stand in opposition to each other democracy and graft! One upholds the human and the constitu tional rights of all; the other would betray them to the corrupt few. On affirms an everlasting belief that the whole people may ultimately govern wisely and justly the other sneers at the idealistic faith of men-and would give government over to the unscru pulous. The struggle between them is on. One must go down. That Cry of Business. 'More than one man with skin-deep unselfishness who had said in the early days of the prosecution: 'Go ahead, clean up the town,' became frighten ed and cried: "Enough, the prosecu tion must stop. It is hurting business. These were the selfish and short-sighted to whom crime is less of a sin than the failure to carry a good face. These are the men crying for confidence when the thing they ask can never bring confidence. They would silence the moral pain in the community life, which warns and calls for help, but they would not heal the wound. They would administer an anaesthetic and let the sore fester till the whole poli tical system Is poisoned. "Can honest business thrive in a community where public and private rights and privileges are sold to the highest bidder? -Can a great Indus-, trial and commercial system grow up upon a rotten foundation? Can mod ern business, which is founded upon the surety of contract, grow when the rights of men contracted for in their political constitutions are everywhere violated? Can modern credit and busi ness, which are founded upon mutual confidence, long continue when men must come to look upon each other with suspicion and distrust as bribers, corrupters of government and buyers of special privileges? Business upon the land could not prosper until the brigand was destroy ed. Commerce upon the sea could not flourish until' the pirate was throttled. No more can modern business grow safely and broadly and firmly till the thieves in office and the thieves in business take their hands off the throat of .the business world and cease levying tribute. "In the redemption of government from Kraft the first great need of democracy is talented and self-sacri ficing leadership. Tne people are non- eBt but like any large mass, unwield ly. It Is the presence of the man of devbtlon, courage and inintiative that Insures generalship to the popular ior ces for good in their struggle against the organised machine. Publlt Opinion Needed. No moral issue can be supported by leaders alone. No cause can he trust ed to Just the talented few, Great principles must be Independent of the coming and the going of particular men. They, must become part and narcel of the mass, of tne race, or the nation. Let the strong and devot ed ef earth go about their chtvalric business of publio servioe. . ) 'an the struggle between graft and democracy let . us see clearly that de feat means the ultimate ueatn 01 tree institutions. Above the misleading cries that emerge from our imperfect social etmcs let us nave uio ramso to stand for high things. With leaders who are not afraid, with an hones, people who are willing to support the truth, with expert service and an ef fective criminal procedure, democracy can he saved, from s new-rounq weaa nesses. It has' heen saved in San Francisco, and It can be redeemed elsewhere.

WASHINGTON NEW8 OF MUCH IN TEREST TO NORTH CAROLINA The Washington .correspondent of yesterday's Raleigh News and Obser ver says: ' ,. c Speaker Cannon has practically com- mtted himself to a twenty million dollar public building appropriation bill at this session. The Czar of the House in conversation with members of the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, has Indicated that he will not put himself in the way of such a measure. ' The commit tee is willing enough: to report favor ably such a measure, and with Uncle Joe winking the other eye, there is nothing, In the way of the enacting of such a legislative measure. The Immediate question before the com mittee is to frame a bill that will meet with the approval of the leading members of the House. There are al ready enough bills in .the legislative hopper to justify the expenditure of fifty million dollars for the erection of public buildings. The committee will, as seen as its complexion Is an nounced Try the Speakerr get together and frame a measure. The Interesting fact developed in connection with the bill is that' It is to be passed at the present session of Congress. Repre sentative Thomas, of North Carolina, who is a member of the committee, will look after the , public building measures introduced by members of the State delegation. National Military Park. A measure for the establishment of a National Military Park at Guilford Battle Ground has been Introduced by Representative W. W. Kitchin. The bill provides that the Guilford Battle Ground Company shall cede to .the United States Government all of Its property with the expressed hope that the national government will careful ly preserve the same as a Revolution ary military park. The Secretary of War is authorized to receive the prop erty of the Company, and the bill provides for the appointment of a Commissioner of the Park, who shall have supervision over it Cape Cod-Beaufort A meeting of the Senators and Rep resentatives from the States that border on the proposed chain of Inland waterways beginning at Cape Cod and ending at Beaufort, N. C, is to be held in the House of Representa tives during the next few weeks. J. Hampton Moore, a Congressman from Philadelphia, who was elected Presi dent of the Inland Waterway's Con vention recently'Sield in that city, is the Instigator of the movement. Mr. Moore believes that in organization there is strength, and it Is his idea to band together the representatives in Congress from the Atlantic States as a fighting organization that will neve- say die when the proposed Inland Waterway is mentioned. Mr. Moore discussed his plans today with Rep resentative Thomas. He hopes to have a fighting organization of mem bers of Congress perfected soon after Congress assembles following the Christmas holidays. Drainage of Swamp Lands. Representative Thomas has intro duced a hill providing tor the drainage isnd reclamation of tb- swamps and overflowed lands of the U. 3., includ ing the Diem il Swamp anil other lands of this character in North Carolina The bill provides that the pro ceeds of sale of public lands other than the States named In the former act of Congress, providing for the Irri gation of the arid iandb of U10 West, shall be pplIod by the Seciorary of the Intarior in co-rj eration with Hie respective States for the purpose of draining and reclaiming swamp and overflowed lands. It is contemplated by the bill, that the State of North Carolina and other States having swamp lands shall first establsh, by act of the legislature, State and county drainage commis sions. Upon petition of the State, as to State lands and of Individual own ers of private lands made to the Drainage Commission of the State or county as the case may be, survey may be ordered by the State Drainage Com mission or County Commission, and the cost of the drainage of any par ticular area or district estimated. This survey may be made by the United States engineers in co-operation with the State engineers. When the survey has been made of any particular body of land or drainage district, the Secre tary of the Interior, may furnish the money from the receipts of the sales of the public lands to the State or to any particular drainage district, the said money to be repaid in install ments to the United States Govern ment In proportion to the benefits re ceived by the State or individual land owners, thus the government would be protected and the swamp lands re claimed. It is estimated that the value of the swamp lands of Eastern North Caro lina would be greatly increased by some general scheme or plan of this nature, and by co-operation of the State and National Government, the State and individual owners re-im-bursing the cost of reclamation, the swamp lands of Eastern North Caro lina may be drained and reclaimed. Of course, there would have to oe a preliminary act of the State legisla ture and full co-operation between the State and National Government, to avoid any possible constitutional ob jection.- The Government is pursuing tne pol icy of udlne the funds from the sale of publio lands in the West in certain enumerated States for the purpose of irrigating the -arid lands of the West, and there Is no reason why there should not be a similar policy and legislation as Jo the. swamp lands of the East .

Overman for Judiciary Committee. Senator Overman's friends in the Senate are urging him for appointment to one of the biggest committees in that body. This Is the Judiciary Com mittee. A vacancy was created on this committee when Senator Black burn retired and the chances are that Senator Overman will succeed him, Senator Simmons, who is on the committee on commerce and postoffl ces, lnteroceanic canal, agricultural among others, will not ask for an ad ditional assignment Senator Simmons attended to-day the Initial meeting of tne steering committee, which will make the selections. Representative Leever, of South Carolina had a very satisfactory talk today with the President about the es tablishment of the proposed Appalach ian Forest Reserve. Mr. Roosevelt de clared that he would give all possible aid to the movement and declared that the conservation of the forests in the Southern mountains is immensely Im portant to tbe waterways of the coun try. Mr. Leever said he was going to get into the fight for the establish ment of the park in earnest this year, and the President expressed the hope tnat he would be successful. Overman for Tar Heels. Senator Overman is urging a North Carolinian for appointment as com missioner to mark tbe graves of Con federate soldiers buried in Northern cemeteries, .which position was form erly held by Mr. William Elliott, of South Carolina. The President in formed Senator Overman that he has about decided to give the position to General Bassll Duke, of Kentucky, but it Is doubtful whether he will accept the trust, and in that event the North Carolinian stands a chance for the ap pointment In the Senate today Senator Over man Introduced a bill providing for a twenty-five thousand dollar appropria tion for the erection of a monument to General Nathaniel Green, of Revolu tionary fame at Guilford Battle Ground. A similar bill has been intro duced in the House by Representative W. W. Kitchin. Senator Overman also introduced a bill to re-imburse the Davenport Fe male College of Lenoir, which suffered damages to that extent during the Civil War. CURRENT COMMENT. From Friday's Daily. Dec. 13. We observe that the Republican pa pers, after their habit, persist in mis stating well-known historic facts. Thfcy say" that Bryan madelhe Demo cratic platform of 1896. As every informed person knows, Mr. Bryan was a member of a delegation from Nebraska which was excluded by the Cleveland wing of the party who con trolled the temporary organization of the convention of 1896, and which was seated only in time to afford Mr. Bryan who was their platform committee man, time to offer one amendment to the platform and to second another. The Democratic masses inspired the platform and Bryan expounded it. That will be the case In 1908. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Yesterday's dispatches brought the news that Denver, Colorado, li.id been chosen by the Democratic Nntiona! Commitee as the place and July 7, as the time for the meeting of the Democratic National Convention of 1908. As suggested in the Observer yesterday,, before the decision was known, the announcement by the President that he would not again ac cept a nomination changed the situa tion completely as to the date, and rendered the calling of the Democratic after the Republican convention the proper course. , Denver is a long way off 2,000 miles from the Atlantic seaboard and it will be an expensive trip from North Carolina. But its graet alti tude will eliminate the almost un bearable features of the usual mid summer national conventio.i hoat, humidity and the absence of ozone as these are felt in the "cities of the plain," like Chicago, St. Louis, Indian apolis, Kansas City and Cincinnati. The following resolution was adopt ed by the Cimmittee: Resolved, That the Democratic Na tional Committee cordially approves Stomach troubles. Heart and Kidney ailments, can be quickly corrected with a prescription known to druggists everywhere as Dr. Sheop's Restora tive. The prompt and surprising re lief which this remedy immediately brings Is entirely due to its Restora tive action upon the controlling nerv es of the Stomach, etc. B. E. Sedber ry's Son.

V ' the mnvamant. nnw nndai vn n an cure nublicitv in the States, an wall na In the nation, of money contributed ana expeoitures made by any associa tion, committee or other organization tor political purposes. Senator Tillman, the South Caroli na member of the committee, took occasion to make a pertinent observa tion, during tbe discussion of the reso lution, as follows: . "We have heard aald Mi- Tillman "something about restitution of the money taiten irom tne lire insurance companies for campaign purposes, but I have heard nothing of Mr. Cortelyou or any one else paying back that mon ey that is due to these companies and which belongs to widows and children. It will be recalled that the President in his message to Congress last year recommended that railroads be forbid den to contribute to campaign funds, but he was very careful not to press upon his party in Congress the passage of such a bill.' Bryan's Election Predicted. An Interesting out come of the in terchange of views by the committee men was the prevalent expression of a belief that the situation Indicated the election of Mr. Bryan as President, even so staunch an anti-Bryan paper The Washington staff correspondent of as the Richmond Times-Dispatch sends that paper the following: Bryan's Election Being Predicted Al most Unanimous Sentiment Among Democrats from All Over Country Some Republicans Also. Times-Dispatch Bureau, Munsey Building, Washington, D. C, Dec. 12. Bryan's Election Is Predicted. Democrats are elated at the cer tainty of some other than Theodore Roosevelt being the Republican candi date next year. For the first time in years it is possible to find a group of Democrats unanimously predicting a Democratic victory in a presidential campaign. That Bryan will be the next President was a prophecy heard many times to-day on the floor of the House, where the members congregat ed before the Spaker's gavel called the body to order. And the same pre diction waB heard many times at the Arlington, where the members of the National Committee were gathered and where many Democrats congregat ed. Many Democrats declare emphati cally that the prospect of a defeat had as much to do with the President's declaration as anything had. Repre sentative Ollie James, of Kentucky, one of the most stalwart Democrats in existence, sticks to this view, and finds many who stand with him. In the course of the associated press's account of the" situation de veloped by Mr. Roosevelt's announce ment, occurs the following: In one little senatorial group on the Republican side the belief was ex pressed that the declaration of Mr. Roosevelt makes the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the Democratic party certain, and a belief was guardedly hazarded 67 one Republican Seuatur that he might possibly be elected. Members of the Democratic National Committee, who were in this city, were among the most interested of the read ers of the announcement, and while most of them were reserved in their comment, it was evident from their manner that they saw in It a favorable omen for their own party. Several of them were frank enough to express the opinion that President Roosevelt could poll a larger Demo cratic vote than any other candidate, and their inference was that, with the President absolutely out of the race, the Democratic candidate would not only retain the vote of his own party, but would stand a better show of mak ing Inroads upon the opposition. Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, also pre dicts Bryan's election, saying that, in the far West, he will carry Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Montana and Nebraska, and probably California. 'JES LAUGHIN'. It's curious what a sight of good a little thing will do; How ye kin stop the fiercest storm when it begins to brew, An' take the sting from what com menced to rankle when twas spoke, By keepin' still an' treatin' it as if it was a joke. Ye'll find that ye kin fill a place with smiles instead of tears, An' keep sunshine gleamin' thro' the shadow of the years. BY 'JES LAUGHIN'. Folks sometimes fail to note the pos sibilities that lie In the way jour mouth Is curvin', and the twinkle in yer eye; it ain't so much what's said that hurts, ez what ye think lies hid; It ain't so much the doin', ez the way the thing is did. An' many a home's kep happy, and contented day by day, An' like as not a kingdom's been rescued from decay. BY 'JES LAUGHIN'. Badly Mixed Up. Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N. ., had a very remarkable experience; he says: "Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one said heart disease; two called it kidney trouble; the fourth, blood poison, and the fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of them helped me; so my wife advised trying Electric Bitters, which are restoring me to perfect health. One bottle did me more good than all tjie five doctors prescribed." Guaranteed for blood poison, weakness and- all stomach, liv er and kidney complaints, by B. E. Sedberry's Son, druggist, 60c.
