which was In the interest Of some
Chicago corporation. Billy Lorimer is
Of Chicago and for Chicago.
The Ship Canal.
OF all the things Lorimer has done
or attempted to do for his own town
the deep waterway project is the most
momentous. When he first began the
advocacy of this gigantic undertaking
little attention was paid to him ever
in his own city. Gradually, however,
Chicago began to awaken until today
the ship canal from the lakes to the
gulf Is about the livest wire In the
middle west. After fighting for it
through many congresses and on the
stump all yer Illinois the new sena-
tor had the pleasure of seeing q great
convention meet in Chicago in its be-
half, at which both President Taft
and william J.. Bryan spoke in it's ia

will make a still harder fight for his
pet project and says that he Will carry
It through. For his advocacy Of this

a Yates banner. He kept it up until

the confusion the third ballot was new.
er counted. A fourth roll call was or.
dered, and the day was won for Yates.
The act by which the new senator
first forced himself into general notice
was almost as spectacular. It was in
1892, and he was a delegate to the
Minneapolis convention. Illinois was
for the denomination Of Harrison, but
Lorimer would not be bound by the
delegation and voted for James G.
Blaine. As Blaine had hosts Of friends
In Chicago, the rising young politician
lost nothing by the move.
A third incident shows a streak OF
Independence In Lorimer that would
not be suspected from his reputation
as a machine man. It was In the days
just after the Maine had been blown
up in Havana harbor and when Tom
Reed and the administration were try.

his salad days as a kid congressman.
Though he was supposed to keep si.
lent he made SO arm a fight for the
Chicago public building bill that, in
spite Of everybody else who was look.
ing for pork, the Windy City Won the
day. 1t must be said for him that he
has always stood up for Chicago.
Much Of the criticism Of him has been
due to his championship Of his friends
and Of Chicago interests. When Roose-
velt led the fight for meat inspection
it was Lorimer who rushed to the sup
port of the packing houses. Only re.

The lowly Singer.

The humble poet goes about
In very modest raiment.
II he could coin his tuneful words
He'd gladly make a payment
On rags that glisten as the sun
And raise an awful holler,
But now he has to be content
He hasn't got a dollar.
For him the sun unfolds it's light,
For him the stars are cleaning,
And so he cannot waste his time
On profit bearing scheming.
He must remain content to get
The robins morning greeting
And not disturb his high flown thoughts
With vulgar things like eating.
Were he disposed to drop a peg
And lower his profession
Things might be drifting round his way
In quite a long procession.
Would he write ads. instead of songs
Extolling pills or bacon
He'd rake in coin; but, oh, his art
Would have to be forsaken!
No; he will go along his way,
Wrapped in his inspiration.
Let sordid poets sing of soap;
His theme is all creation.
So take him gently by the hand
And lead him to the table,
And then the poets appetite
You'll find was but a fable.

LOrimer, the New Illinois Senator
ormer Street Car Conductor,
Who Got His Start n Politics BY
Organizing His Craft. Is Known
as the blond Boss." ~
BY JAMES A.

BY JAMES A. EDCERTON.
THE main facts about William
Lorimer, the new senator from
Illinois, are that he was born In
England; that he Is forty-eight
years old; that he came to the United
States in childhood; that his father,
who was a minister, died when the
lad was ten years old; that from then
on he has been a breadwinner; that he
had little or no schooling; that he sold
papers, BACKED boots, wheeled salt in
the packing houses and was a horse
a conductor; that he became a ma
chine politician and Is now known as
the blond boss;" that he has been
widely and vehemently denounced as
being a representative Of the vicious
clements and "the interests that new
ertheless his private life is notably
clean and his family life ideal: that he
does not smoke, drink or swear; that
he has eight children, to whom he is
devoted; that he is a large man, Sc
rene, unrufled, a good mixer and pop
ular; that he Y goes back on q
friend; that he has been In congress
seven terms; that he is known as the
father Of the deep waterway project"
of q ship canal from the great lakes to
the gulf; that he is a fair speaker, but
prefers to work IN the quiet, and that
his election as senator came as a sur
prise at the end Of the longest dead
lock in the history Of Illinois.
This is but a skeleton outline, but 1t
gives an idea Of the man. His career
is not commonplace or usual by any
means, and perhaps the strangest
thing in it is that he, a party boss,
was elected to the senate by a combi-
nation Of Republicans and Democrats.
Another striking feature about Lori
mer is that several times his enemies
have gleefully proclaimed that the
"hlond boss'' was down and out. Yet
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1909-07-14

at the next turn of the wheel he won
greater victories than ever. His pres
ent triumph Is a case in point. He
mad fought Deneen both In the prima-
RE and at the polls, and Deneen gave
hin a drubbing each time. "That Is
the end Of Billy Lorimer!" yelled
everybody. And now look at him
one minute dumped in the gutter and
left at the rear and the next on the
front seat of the band wagon. at the
head Of the procession!
Serene and Canny.
Lorimer in his acceptance speech
blandly and benevolently handed out
bouquets to everybody, even hts foes:
looked as innocent and cherubic as a
blond boss could; said he was a Repub-
lcan, but loved the Democrats who
had jumped the fence In his behalf:
talked for tariff revision downward
because It had been promised In the
platform; spoke a good word-two Of
them, in fact-for his deep waterway
scheme and looked so serene that no
one would have dreamed that he had
just pulled of a deal without a paral-
lei In the history Of American politics.
Fol an ex-street a conductor who
had got his first start in politics by
organizing his craft it was quite a
piece Of g%eneralship. Lorimer is dis
tncttvely a politician. The convolu-
tons in his gray matter are not in
vain. They stand for something. He
Is canny, as becomes one Of Scotch
blood. which he is, although born in
Manchester. He plays the game, and,
win or lose, he is not a gutter. His
loyalty to his friends is both his
strength and his weakness. So long as
they stay by him he stays by them,
no matter what else they may do.

lacks. On the other hand, he has a
long memory for his enemies. Let a

1t is a question whether waiting de-

times wins.
Time. tide and scorching automobiles
wait for no man.
Sometimes it is merely force of habit
that keeps a man from paying his
debts.
While an idealist is looking for his
ideal some sordid minded relative is
Shaving to pay for the idealists meal
ticket.
One a why we don't like to
mention u vices is because 1t is OBJ
viously superfuous.
When they begin to act as If you
were n of the family it will be safe
to look out for some other loaing
place.
When a man Is a guy he does not
call attention to his condition. That
does so itself.
There are people who would rather
work than starve. and as long as they
continue to multiply the world Is CON-
p%aratively safe.
There are a great many commenda-
BILE actions that the ordinary man
would rather commend that perform.
1t is hard to understand when we
aren't hungry how anybody can starve
to death.
Being optimistic is easy when the
conditions are right.

The foes Of ex-senator Hopkins ex-
plain the downfall Of that gentleman
as an effect Of that very cause. They
aver that It was Lorimer who made
Hopkins senator In the first place, and
when Lorimer was trying to nominate
Yates over Deneen they accused Hop
kins Of trying to carry water on both
shoulders. These are the charges, and,
whether true or not, the result Is the
same. Hopkins is out, and Lorimer Is
In. The "blond boss" turned the trick
In the face Of a plurality for the for

Perhaps the Democratic vote for
Lorimer Is explained by that very

These intricacies Of state politics have
