Bryan prop- p erty, advertised to take place at auction yesterday by the Atlantic Coast ^ Realty Co., was unsuccessful. The agency had the property well adver- <1 tised and was on hand with a good 1( band of musicians, but there was a s dearth of bidders and the sale was called off. * c Miss Minnie Lee Richardson, a 16- I year-old orphan, who has been an in- b I mate of the Epworth orpnanage ior tj I nine years, recently enjoyed her first 0 I vacation from the institution. She ft spent the vacation at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Sexton. The young ? lady had typhoid fever, which left c r ^ her so crippled that she has to walk 1< I on crutches. Dr. Kelley and other t \ v friends became interested in the case s ^ and through Dr. Kelley, the Mayo \ Ginic of Rochester, Minn., has prom- s ised to perform an operation free of f surgeons' charge, that will make the girl walk. Consent of" the Orphan- o . VI iMiril rittdAi1 ge has been obtained for the operaion, and Mrs. Sexton is endeavornig 0 raise money by voluntary subscripion to defray other necessary expenes of Miss Richardson, such as raiload fare, board and incidentals, esimated at about $250.00. o 'amptign Slush Funds Are Doomed Washington, Sept. 4.?The startling evelations of the Kenyon committee 1 preconvention days, followed by lie sensational charges that colossal slush funds" are now being raised y both big parties, mark the spectaelar windup of a political system enceforth doomed, senators and con ressmen here today stated with grim ods of the head. Ono ofe the first laws to be passed y the new Congress, whether that ongress be controlled by Democrats r Republicans, it was predicted allost unanimously, will be a law to ut federal elections under federal jntrol, and to limit expenditures to here there can be no possible susicions of corrupt practices. At the same time the warning was ttered that politicians at fancy salries, party headquarters with ex avagant rentals, vast retinues of llaried political lieutenants, and [her expensive appurtenances to the resent system, are soon to be releated to the limbo of things that used > be. The suggestion made at Chicago y former Chairman Homer S. Cumlings, of the Democratic National ommittee, and chairman Wi'l H. ays, of the Republican National ommittee, that reforms are very ?cessary, found hearty concurrence ?re. "There should be a liimtation laced on presidential campaign ex2nditures in primaries, in preconrntion work and in general elecons," Congressman Edward C. Lite, Republican, of Kansas, declared. For years I have urged such limitaons. "The fact is, 90 per cent of the elecon money raised and expended in residential campaigns is wasted. "Tons of printed matter are gotten at and not read. Only a few are invested in this stuff. The many pay o attention to it. It is a waste of laterial, labor and transportation. "Money is squandered in extravaant headquarters in a hundred dif>rent ways. "The limitations placed on party tpenditures should apply to individil expenditures. A man with $5 adacating an idea or an issue can do a harm. A man with a million doltrs to push an idea, an issue, or an idividoal, may prove a corruptionist nd an unmitigated evil. It is a case r a boy with a popgun and a man XV _ 4 4 1.-1 MAfnlfAt* lin a n-tauuvi ictvnu. "Hoth of the great political parties lould be made to get along with ss money than they have been col ctmg and spending. Expensive potical machines have been built up ith hangers-on who make that their >lc means of livlihood. "I am opposed to that system, here should be regulation by law." Congressman Scott Ferris, Demorat, of Oklahoma, was just as emhatic. "It would be a wholesome thing." p declared, "to curb such expendijres by legislation in some practiil way." That a law giving federal authoi,ies complete control over elections ?'-1 ??* ft,,. Cpnatp and House UUIU IlUt pooo liiv ? ithout debate, however, was clearly idicated. "I cannot help feeling a little larmed over what seems to me to e a growing tendency to centralize ur government more and more in Washington and take more and more f the individual states' prerogatives way from them," Senator William [. King, Democrat, of Utah, said. "We are gradually taking away rom the states the right to legislate or themselves. We are forcing womn suffrage on some states that do ot want it and prohibition on other tates which object to prohibition, and o on, thus centralizing government ere in Washington as Napoleon cenralized the government of France in aris. "I do not question the right of the oderal government to exercise conrol over general elections, but I do ustion the desirability of so doing or the above reason. Leave it to the bates. "I also observe another growing endency, which is that we try to "" '""Ho onrl illc hv statute. uic c?ii vux xautv0 muu ***? ?? t can't be done. Publicity is much etter. If we tell the people everyhing that is going on and why, many f our troubles would fade away of hemselves. "De Toequoville was right when he aid the cure for the evils of demoracy is more democracy. Let's have ;ss law and more general knowledge o remedy what ails us, and let's top trying to run the country from Washington so much, and give the tates a chance to run their own afairs a little more." Senator King expressed him.^flf as pposed as much as anyone to over . \ size campaign f^ffds, but thinks th matter could be safely left to th states and the public, once contri butions and expenditures are pub i lished broadcast. Sentiment here, however, amoni j both Republican and Democratic part; i leaders appeared overwhelmingly i: j favor of fedefal regulation of the na I tional election. o Phone 260, The Native Meat Mai ket. when in need of good countr; meats.
