IL SeetUS tudL tuc DCAOSt utiS
members of the Illinois legislature
are involved in Doodle scandal
over the election of United States
Senator Lorimer, Republican.
If the allegations prove true it will
be something unique in the way OF
political boodling, Democrats SELL
ing out to Democrats that Re-
publican may gain the benefit.
But after all, what is there new in
this alleged transaction! And why
make big fuss over it! Down
in Alabama only very recently
the same conditions seems to have
prevailed in the election of Sena-
tor Percy over Governor Varda-
man. Senator Lorimer will con,
tinue in the senate and so will Sen
ator Percy, and there you are!
What's the use going after the lit
tie fellows? There are reports to
the effect that jackpot" of $780,
900 was up in Illinois for legisIa-
tive corruption, not for the benefit
of the senatorial winner particular
ly, but to get results generally in
the way of legislation for Big
Business. And Senator Lorimer
as we'll as Senator Percy are prob
ably safe corporation men. Who
supplied the money, the ubiquitous
pimps and bIacklegs in the political
game? Not on your life! 1t comes
from those eminent, right-thinkiDg
citizens and progressive business
men who are at the head of our
great industrial and commercial
enterprises. The only ones who
act unlawfully or lmmorally in a
Doodle transaction of this kind are
the little fellows who let their con-
science 60 to pot for the sake of
sum that is generally expressed in
less than four figures. The other
party in the transaction takes his
reward later in sums expressed by
millions, and who sits with the
elect iD business and social y. The
interests of Big Business nowadays
demand safe men in the legislatures
of state and nation as we'll as in
the municipal assemblies of Our
great cities. Big Business reaps
the reward of corrupt politics, but
the people pay the freight, for Big
Business sees to it taat corruption
funds are charged up to the profit,
not to the loss account. Whel it
comes to a separation of the sheep
from the goats on this question the
Republicans are not one whit worse
than the Democrats, notwithstand-
ing how pure and unde6Iable the
latter party is pretending to be.
When Big Business is after results
all political faiths look alike to that
ilk. Call off the investigation and
let the little fellows have theirs.

split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert

out into sweeter air to be besieged
by a chubby dwarf 25 years old,

many dollars invested in that paltry
shop as in some American depart
ment stores.
II Is not the goods alone, but the
life of the oriental that is interest
ing. On one side you see a heavy
jeweled tradesman sitting over his
wares fast asleep, in the midst of
the babel that may Danish sleep from
your eyes two blocks away. Here
are little children, some of them
actually not able to toddle, playing
on these streets and hardly taking
the trouble to move from under the
slouching steps of yonder camel
within arms length of the passing
throng, careful to veil their faces
but careless otherwise. Now a
string of bleating goats passes Next
an Egyptian soldier in the nattiest
of uniforms. Here comes a beauty
of the harem in richest attire, the
lower part of her face showing dim
ly through her white veil. There
is blind beggar mumbling his
prayer for aims. Now leather
visaged shek of the desert, next a
Scottish soldier in kits, then a
silken-robed broker wearing the
fez. All these in a street so crowd
ed that one cannot swing his arms
as he walks.
Just ahead is the arch of the an
cient gate of the city ornamented
with the instruments of torture used
by former ruler. Under it's shadow
sits a scribe to write letters of
business or affection. In front of
him stands countryman holding
two song pigeons by their wings
bent back ir his hand.
There are miles OF such films for
moving pictures in these crooked
ways, noisy. filthy and smelling of
every foul thing under heaven.
Surely the babes that survive, escap-
ing blindness or mutilation, must
be a race of iron sinew, of steel

match any nation in the world.
