LoRlMER INCIDENT.

The refusal of Colonel Roosevelt to
eat at The same table with senator
William Lorimer at a banquet Of a
club of which Lorimer is a member,
shows Roosevelt a common snub II
the colonel was too good to sit at the
festal board with Lorimer. he was
surely too good to accept the hospl-
talities Of club of which Lorimer
has been member for at leaast fif-
teen years Ii would be no greater
outrage fo man TO accept the shell
ter Of another's home and refuse TO
go TO bed until the owner had been
elected from his home and forced to
sleep with the dog in a kennel or wan
der with the heavenly canopy as blan.
ket.
The inc dent savors much OF yellow
journalistic forethought and can in
no sense do MIR Lorimer harm among
men OF culture. Whatever the short
comings OF Lorimer. he certainly be-
hayed well under the brutal. bullying
tactics Of the oyster ,ay cnina shop

It must be remembered that Lori
mer has never been charged with a
crime by any one-that the story OF
having purchased seat in the senate

ator TO ask an invest CATION which
has not even connected him with the
disgraceful corruption at Springfield.

In the meantime The Lorimer case

II must be remembered Lorimer has

that Is to connect New Orleans and

long been prominent in transportation
circles, managers Of trans-continental
trunk line railways. If supposition
and appearances count is IL not

against Lorimer followed one OF his
sallies to get the canal proposition on
foot?
II must be remembered that Lortmer
rose from a street car conductor OF
Chicago TO a seat in the senate of the
United States and that for twenty
years he led contest against the Fed
