BRIBERY IN ILLINOIS LEGISLA.
TURE

The Chicago Tribune, after a care
full investigation, charges William
Lorimer with having secured his E.
lection to the United States Senate
through bribery. The star witness
is Representative Charles A White1
a democrat, who admits having ac-
cepted 81 800 for his vote for Lori
mer and he gives the names Of other
democrats he accuses of having re-
ceived like amounts.
The evidence published in Sundays
Tribune seems to corroborate Whites
statements but a searching investi-
CATION will be made by the proper au-
thorities to ascertain the facts. The
whole country was startled by the
disclosure although Lorimer's cleo
ton was looked upon with suspicion
owing to the fact that he received
the support of a score or more de-
mocrats in the legislature.
If these charges are proven it will
be a severe blow to the advocates of
party solidarity" Honest, progress
sive democrats will cease to invite
La Toilette and other republican lead.
ers to join the democratic party until
they have had a house cleaning of
their own It will be recalled that
Senator Stephenson was elected by
the help of three democratic members
of the legislature and that Joe Can
non would not have been reelected
Speaker last year if he had not ret
ceived the votes of the New York
Democrats.
Senator Lorimer is a standpatter
of the most pronounced type and his
close relations to the predatory cor
porations make him an enemy to the
public welfare. His candidacy was
backed by the great Chicago Packing
Houses and, since his election, it
was disclosed that he is manufac
turer of butterine which in some
cases has been sold for pure butter.
Let democrats, who think their
party stands for the common peo-
pie, follow the facts of this scandal
as they appear in the newspapers
and it may be they will conclude that
after all parties make little difference
with individual members. A man lis
neither better nor worse for being
lette alone in the Senate accomplish
ed more in three years than all the
democratic members combined

few IMPROVEMENTS At
SCHOOL FOR The Blind

Bathgate, N. D., Jan. 6.-The board
of the school for the blind meet this
week to transact routine business and
settle up accounts Of the old year.
1t is not likely that very material
improvements will be made at the in
stitution during the coming year as
most Of the appropriation has a1read
been expended.
There will be some landscape gard
ening done and improvements to the
grounds made, and perhaps a little
fencing and building of walks. The
past year has been a successful one
at the institution and sees an added
attendance and additional educational
facilities given to the blind chilren
of the state. The students are prov
ing the blessings which such an in
stitution proves to them and are max
ing of themselves men and women
capable of taking part in the worlds
affairs in many branches of useful

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
soon put in an appearance.
1t was said that Pinchot's conduct
in sending an official communication
to the chairman of a congressional
committee was freely discussed, al
though none Of the cabinet officials
who participated in the conference
would discuss their call to the White
House in any way.
The president some time ago is
sued an order that no subordinate
in any government department
should disclose any information to
congress except through the head of
the department..
Mr.. Pinchot in his letter, virtually
upholds CLAWS and describes him as
"The most vigorous defender of the
peoples interest despite the fact
that President Taft had declared
CLAWS unfit longer to remain in the
public service. This direct slap at
the president and the further declar-
alton by Mr.. Pinchot that the Cum
ningham coal lands really were
about to go to fraudulent claimants
until CLAWS and the forestry bureau
officials took a hand in the fight,
high officials of the interior depart
ment, are said to have aroused Mr..
Taft to keen resentment.
The president is said to have felt
for some time that Mr.. Pinchot has
been "defying the lightning"
Some action as to Mr.. Pinchot's
course in the letter incident is not
unexpected.
