The WAY of Life.

1t is being said of an elderly man in
business in Atchison: He can't stand
punishment as he formerly could.
And there is punishment to be en-
dured in making a living; don't forget
it. Look over your own experience
and you will detect punishment every
hour of the day. If it isn't at home, 1t
is on the street car or ON the road.
How many ways there are to punish
man who tries his best to get along
and behave himself. And after a man
gets old it is more evident every year
that the poor fellow can't stand pun
ishment as he could when he was
ounger.-Atchison Globe.

.LOR|MER GU|LTLESS
INVESTIGATORS PRESENT PRE-
DlcTED VERDICT TO FULL
COMMITTEE OF SENATE.
BRIBE EVIDENCE is NOTED
But Senator Held Innocent of Use Of
Money-Enough Votes Left Even
If Some Were 5ought-HIs Major
Ity Not impaired.

Washington.-Sen Lorimer re-
ceived a clean bill of health Saturday
from the subcommittee of the senate
committee on privileges and elections,
which investigated charges of bribery
in connection with his election The
report Of the investigation was made
to the full committee.
The report is unanimous, being
signed by the seven members of the
committee which conducted the in
vestigation.
All the members of the full com
mittee were present with the excep-
ton of Buckley of Connecticut,
Frazier OIL Tennessee and Johnston of
Alabama. No final disposition was
made of the report, but there will be
another meeting of the full commit
tee Tuesday, when 1t is expected the
report will be accepted by the full
committee and be presented to the
senate before adjournment for the
holiday recess on Wednesday.
Chairman Burrows, who prepared
the report Of the investigating com
mittee, read 1t to the full committee.
1t was in typewriter form. Close at
tention prevailed during its reading,
and at its conclusion the committee
ordered it printed
Copies of the testimony taken in
the case at Chicago and Washington
were ready for distribution among
the members of the full committee
and it Is expected that some of them
will read portions of the evidence be-
fore the committee meets. So far as
can be discovered however, there is
no minority report in sight but some
Of the members of the committee may
desire to express in brief form their
views on the character of the evil
dence collected.
With regard to bribery practised in
the Illinois legislature the subcommit-
tee reports that the evidence failed
to connect MIR. Lorimer with the use
OF money in promoting his election.
The committee does not declare that
there could be found no evidence
that there was bribery, but under
long line OF precedents the field of
investigation laid out for itself by
the committee was to ascertain
whether Mr. Lorimer could be con
nected with the bribery.
Having disposed of that question,
there was only one more for the com.
mittee to consider That was wheth-
er Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional major
ity had been impaired by bribery. On
the roll call on which he WIS elected
May q, 1909 Mr.. Lorimer received
108 votes, or six more than the 1872
which were required to give him a
majority,
Had the committee found evidence
which proved that at least seven mem
bers of the Illinois legislature had
been bribed to vote for Mr.. Lorimer
1t would have to report that he is not
entitled to seat in the senate. Ac-
cording to report of the investigating
committee. the evidence failed to i'm
pair Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional ma
1ority. Accepting the testimony of
fsred and giving 1t full credence, the
committee finds that Mr.. Lorimer
would still have a majority of three
more than the actual number of
votes required to elect him
