by Col. Roosevelt, so far as it relates
to the preservation Of resources. The
governor thinks there should be CO.

phaslzed the Importance Of federal

the wheat secured Nin@ GermanysS and
less than half that taken from the
farms OF England. The difference in
results is really much greater than It
appears, for the natural fertility OF
soil in the United States Is much
Greater than in the European coun-
tries named. In other words, this
country's 1910 crop of 500, 100000
bushels could be 1,200,0OO.0 900 bu-
shells. A mere loss of 5000. 900, 900,
or six per cent On 100000 00, 900.
That colossal sum will be added to
the value Of farm land in this coun-
try as SOC as we learn to farm as
carefully and intelligently as they do
in Germany and England. The reas-
on we have not is that we have not
needed to do so. Nature fertilized
the virgin land Of America and the
farmers will not re-fertilize until
they have exhausted the supply they
have found. The time is close at
hand when they must systematically
put into the soil before they can sys-
tematically take out Of it. The vir-
gin land will soon be taken and then
we will go earnestly about to make
the land we already have produce
more nearly the yield Of which It is
capable.

ExONERATI0N IS COMPLETE

Committee Finds No Testimony d.
recty Connecting Illinois SoIon
With the Purchase of Votes and
Discredits the Evidence of Members
Of the Legislature Who Confessed
to the Acceptance of Bribes.
washington, Dec. 22.-The report of
the senate committee on privileges
and elections in the Lorimer case was
presented TO the senate by Senator
Burrows. The report completely exon
crates the senator on the charge of
having obtained his seat by bribery
aHa discredits the testimony of the
members of the Illinois legislature
who confessed to accepting bribes.
TSae committee adds that even if four
legislators accepted bribes their votes
were not required to elect Lorimer.
The report is divided into chapters,
each carrying sub-head. Under the
caption, Votes Required to Elect" the
committee points out that the question
is raised by counsel whether the lam
guage of the statute regulating the
election of United States senators re-
Quires that in order to elect a senator
the person elected must receive a ma.
jOTity of the votes of all the members
elected to each house of the legisla-
ture, or whether it is sufficient if one
person receives a majority of all the
votes cast in the joint assembly "a
majority of all the members elected
to both houses being present and vOt-
ing" The committee report says on
this subject:
This question seems to have been
decided by the senate in the case of
Lapham against Miller (senate elec-
tion cases 69O. In that case it was
held that a majority of quorum of
each house is sufficient to elect, and in
that decision the committee cOncurs''
No Personal Bribery Shown.
Under the head of "Bribery'' the
committee says:
In a number of cases that have
States it has been held that to invali
date the election of a senator on &C.
count of bribery it must be made to
appear, either,
'First-That the person elected par
ticipated in one or more acts of brib-
cry or attempted bribery, or sanctioned
or encouraged the same, or,
'Second-That by bribery or corrupt
practices enough votes were obtained
for him to change the result of the
election
Testimony was quoted by the report
to show that at the outset of the in
vestigation counsel for the Chicago
Tribune, who conducted the inquiry
against Senator Lorimer. announced
that he did not expect to connect Sen
ator Lorimer with any acts of bribery.
Attention is directed to the denial
made by Senator Lorimer in the open
senate of any act of bribery on his
part in connection with his election
and to his demand for an investiga-
tfoE. In that connection the report
quotes the resolution, after which the
following is set forth:
1T should further be stated that
there was 10 testimony offered during
the investigation which would tend in
the remotest degree to implicate Sen
ator Lorimer in any personal act of
bribery or attempted bribery or cor
rept practices Of any nature"
