Mr.. Lee ONeil Browne, one of the
alleged distributors of the Jack pot,
which, in Illinois, is thought to have
been more or less connected with the
election of Mr.. Lorimer to the Senate,
finds himself in serious plight before
| the ub-committee of United States
! senators. The situation is considerably
| different from those in which he faced
twenty-four friendly jurors in the two
Chicago trials. Tie senatorial investi-
gators have said to Mr.. Browne in ef-
! feet: Tell all you know or else stand
uneduivocally on your refusal to testi-
| fy." Which would seem to place Mr..
Browne between the devil and the deep
sea. His refusal to testify would nat
urally be regarded as admission of
guilt. If he does talk freely any little
inconsistencies would be Immediately
noted, as numerous other witnesses
are talking freely also.
! All over the world people get excited
when an armed revolution bobs up in
any civilized section outside of South
America and sing out in chorus, His
tory is being made" The really impor-
tant history that is being made right

Revolutions which in significance dwarf
armed outbursts. costing a kinglet
thrones, are going on and have been
going on for long time in this coun-
try, in Germany and il England. They
are making the real history, and their
ultimate results will be just as sensa-
tional and surprising as though lot
of bombs and artillery and warships
were mixed up in them.
Professor Russell of Williams who
is regarded in intercollegiate athletic
circles as something of an expert on
football, likes the game under the new
rules. He wants it to be permitted to
stay until it has been thoroughly tried
out. He says: 1.-THE game of foot
ball under the new rules promises to
be a better all-around game than we
have seen, in recent years, at least.
For the onlooker wno is not versed in
the intricacies of the game, the modi-
fled game will be more intelligent and
enjoyable It was time some one
came forward and said a good word
for the new rules. If there is any virtue

growing popular to any noticeable ex-

| 1t is possible to detect in the gra-
cious letter through which President
Taft accepts the resignation of Jus
tice William H Moody, of the Supreme
Court, note of personal regret that
the President himself resigned the op-
portunity of seat on the Supreme
bench to remain in politics. 'Tt was
the summit Of your ambition to become
a justice of that court" the letter
runs land there opened before you

such a labor of love. One who has
