drastic ;, campaign publicity bill evert
framed has dmb officially approved by
the Senate Coffioiittee .n "Privileged
and Elections, i It m intended to tovef-
every point developed 'by the scandal
reagltfng from the election of William
Lorimerw It is also intended to meet
all requirements if the Constitution-is
subsequently amended to permit the
election of Senators by direct vote. '
VTbe bill goes much farther than that:
passed by the Bouse on ApriKHth. It
provides for statements of all money
contributed in" regolarelectioris . for
Representatives in primaries, in con
testa, for Senatorships before State
Legislatures, and. in the selection of
electors for President and Vice Presi
dent. ' Every feature of the campaign
is covered from the announcement of
candidacy to the election. Promises of
office and other favors are regarded in
the same light as cash. Personal dona
tions to a nominee must be reported.
Statements must be made of funds
loaned. . -
The radical features of the bill were
added by Senators Kenyon and Kern.
They were determined to make it cover
all phases of corruption in -eonr cctinn
with the election of Senators, : Repres
entatives and Electors. It was their
desire to maker it so comprehensive as
to prevent future scandals.
In view of the Lorimer case it is be
lieved the drastic campaign publicity
bill will be accepted by the Senate and
passed.
Saturday was the greatest
day'we ever had in any sale,
there is one'week more, new
goods put out every day,

Eeaolutiont Intrbdaoe- iu -House
. v to Investigate Uncle Sam'a
. -Washington, June IDth.As s direct
consequence of the recommendation of
Cot Joseph Garrard that Frankr' Bloom
be, refused a commission In the army
because hs was a Hebrew there may be
a searching invesCigation into, the effi
eiency, the mohihty and the general or
ganization of tha army, of the United
States. . . :
When the Bloom case was made pub
lic. Congressman Kahn, of California,
joined with representative Hebrews in
Washington in protest against the Gar
rard order, and he was among those in
strumental in securing from the Secre
tary of war permission for . Bloom to
take an examination for his commiss
ion in September. -Now Congressman
Kahn has introduced a resolution in the
House providing for a joint committee
to make a sweeping investigation of
the army.
Congressman Kahn does not admit
his resolution has anything to do -with
ths Garrard matter. ' He basis it on the
need to determine definitely whether or
not the country has an effective force
in time of war. Prior to the Bloom af
fair; Mr. Kahn gave no intimation that
he had any doubts about the morals of
the army.
In discussing his resolution, Mr.
Kahn said: ,
'The bills introduced by M. Hay,
chairman of the House committee on
military affairs, are intended to save
som five or six millions of dollars per
annum, it such a sum. can be saved
without impairment of the service, it
ought to be done.
"But the more immediate cbubo for
this resolution is to determine definitely
whether we have a military organiza
tion that would be an effective force in
case of hostilities, and if not what rem
edial action ought to be taken by Con
gress to make it effective.
This would indicate that under our
present system it is impossible to mob
ilize a sibgle division of war strength
within any reasonable time. We expect
upward of one hundred million dollars
per annum on our military establish
ment It ought to be in a complete
state of preparedness for any possible
emergency.
We recall the fact that when France
declared war against Prussia in 1870,
all that von Moltke, the chief of staff
of the latter government, had to do was
to issue an order and the entire German
army was in motion.

Often the remark is heard from people living hi the city
' tnat it ia easy tor country residents to save because their ex
"penses are low; on the other hand, those living in the country
say it is easier for city people to save because their income
ia greater.
i a matter of fact, all persons can "save it is a question
not altogether of income and expenses but of systematic
economy. One dollar opens a savings account in this bank
