To the friendly suggestions that
Senator Lorimer should resign his seat
he will make a fiat refusal. The thing
has cost too much TO give it up with
no prospect of securing the money.
Besides this, the regulars would insist
upon his retention of the seat in view
OF the near prospect of the election OF
a progressive republican, or a demo-
crat, by the next Illinois legislature.
Concerning his suggested resignation
the Philadelphia Record says; 1t is
all well enough 10 set before Mr.. Lori
mer and his friends the example Of
Senator Percy, of Mississippi, who re-
signed his seat ON the first suspicion
that corrupt means were employed in
his election over rival candidates But
in Illinois it is different. 1t will be re-
called that ex-senator Billy" Mason,
Of Illinois, recently stated that about
one-half the seats in the Senate are
purchasable, and this being the case
Mr.. Lorimer will not let little thing
like an exposure cause him to re-
sign.

THE RAILROAD RATES
Manufacturers, Farmers, shippers and
Commuters Manifest Interest In the

commuters MANIFEST Interest IN the
Issue.
New York, June 4.-The fight for
and'against the increased freight rates
by the railroads of the country is rap
idly taking on titantic proportions.
On the side OF the railroads are being
lined up the manufacturers of railway
materials, equipment and supplies, and
through them every person who draws
a benefit from the sale or manufacture
OF materials used by the railroads and
all merchants who profit from the wage
earners of those so employed.
On the other side are the manu-
facturers, farmers and shippers gener-
ally. Injected into the fight are the
thousands of commuters who are en-
ragged by the announcement that all
Communication rates are to be increased
TO meet the increased pay rolls" of
the railroads.
The commuters first wanted to know
why they we're to be the sgoats" and
stand the burden for the wage increases.
Then came the announcement that
freight rates were going up for the
same reason, and the commuters have
joined hands with the shippers to aid
the attorney general in his fight to
keep rates down.
The inevitable result is a conflict
that will interest every man, woman
and child in the United States. SO far
the railroads have the worst Of the
struggle, inasmuch as the increase of
freight rates in the west has been en-
joined in the federal circuit court and
the eastern roads will probably be kept,
temporarily at least, from raising theirs

ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 4, 1915

Thar socialism is the greatest prob
len Of the church and the nation was
emphasized by the United Presbyterian
assembly in its closing meeting IneS-
dav in Philadelphia. Rev. DR.. Charles
W. Stelzie, head Of the Presbyterian
labor reform movement, said that the
church is slowly, but surely, losing
ground among, the laboring classes,
that there are more open air meetings
held throughout the country by social
lists i'm one day than the church holds
in two weeks. Continuing the reverend
gentleman said:
Thousands hope thaf>the dissolution
OF the labor unions will solve the prob
lem. But the trouble is not confined
20 those countries alone where labor
unions exist. No country in Europe
of the world is free from the spirit OF
social unrest. The under dogs are go
ing 20 fight for industrial democracy at
some time in the near future. 1t is only
a question Of who will rise up to lead
them. Cities are going to be the
dominating influence in the struggle
for they are giving the churches and
the reform agencies no end OF trouble
that they cannot surmount. The labor
ing man in America goes through life
like a lean warped animal and has no
future, but his dismal old age He
never smiles, because to him laughing
is a lost art. Can we preach hell fire
to these people? We cannot, because
they live in it and that is the very thing
they are trying to escape. The greatest
of marvels is that no worldwide in
surrection has started the blind patience
of these people is wonder.
The substance of the above is heard
occasionally from representatives OF
other denominations. 1t is a noticeable
fact that the number of working men
who attend most churches is becoming
smaller year by year There must be
some reason for this apart from the
degeneracy OF the age The church, it
seems, should be the refuge of the weak
and heavy-laden of the world, but
the class upon whom the Great Author
OF Christianity pronounced blessed
take but little interest in things spirit
uel. Why is this ? and to whose door
shall blame be placed

fries. we're forced to admit that the
giant black was perfect.
Johnson did eight rounds OF lighting
with Joe Cotton and Kid Cutler, two
of his training partners. He played his
way and took care not TO injure his
opponents. He fought them as he ex-
poets to fight iJeffries, flat-footed and
fast. He made the others to him
and boxed them off with consummate
skill. He swung his opponents around
easily in the clinches.

The BROTHERnOODS'
INTERVENTION

The railway managers of Amer
lea, despite the legends of their
great political power, have not
been strong enough to secure in
all cases fair play from legislat-
ures, congresses, commissions
and executives. The discomfort
of practically every railway pres
ident in the United States is suf-
ficient proof that the government
is not under railway control.
The investing public, which
owns the securities Of the rail-
ways, although more than a
million strong and having the
sympathetic support of business
men generally, has not been
been strong enough to secure in
all cases fair play for the rail-
ways. The doubt entertained
concerning the value of railway
securities is sufficient proof that
the government is not under the
control of the owners Of the
railways.
Now enters a third influence to
demand fair play for the rail-
ways-namely, the employees OF
the railways. The great railway
brotherhoods, through their Of
ficers, have prepared a memoria
calling attention to the fact that,
while everything the railway has
to buy, labor and material-has
: gone up in price, the only thing
they sell = transportation has
