WORLD GROWING BETTER.

Every issue Of a newspaper which
tries to record the most important
events of the day seems to be on its
face an indictment Of the human rae
and modern civilization. Stories Of
greed. oppression, wrongs and crime
often take up most of the cpace in its
columns. The effect upon the reader
Is sometimes to make him think. for
the moment at least, that the world
10 growing more hard and cruel. and
that society. as it is constituted. is
failure. But such q view Is all wrong,
and the thoughtful reader soon real
lies 1t. The world is growing better
all the time. and humanity is steadily
advancing from one plane OF life to
another. Tho reason there seems
more wickedness is that the people OF
the earth are in closer communication
with one another than they were only
Q few years ago, says the Cleveland
Leader Crimes which once remained
unknown to all but a comparatively
few are now revealed to the entire
civilized world. that it may know the
sort of men 1t must suppress, the ex-
tent of the harm they infiict and the
manner in which they are dealt with.
Wrongs which once flourished be-
cause they were hidden are now
dragged into the light of day and ex-
posed in all their meanness in the
pages Of the newspapers. Modern
civilization. through its most power
full agency for progress. the public
press. lays bare the hitherto hidden
wounds inflicted upon society. that
they may be cured and their repeti
ton prevented. No, the world is not
growing worse. There is less of pow
srty, crime and suffering than ex-
listed only a few years ago. Life is
easier, more profitable and more full
of joy. The man with the shovel gets
more out of it than did the man with
the two-handed sword in his castle, a
brief remove back in the life of the
race.

REPORT ON L0R|MER
ASSERTS TITLE OF SENATOR u
NOT INVALID.
l0RIMER DIDN'T use MONEY
Nor Does the Committee Find that
Any Money Was Used BY Others
For Him.

Washington. Senator Burrows.
chairman Of the committee on privil-
eyes and elections, presented to the
senate the report of the investiga-
ton of the charges of bribery made
in connection with the election Of
William LOrimer as senator from
Illinois. The conclusion reached BY
the committee was as follows:
That in their opinion the tile of
Mr.. Lorimer to a seat in the senate
had not been shown to be invalid
by the use or employment Of corrupt
methods or practices.
Charges that four members of the
Illinois legislature were bribed and
that three other members paid brides
are not ignored by the committee.
The report declares that those who
confessed to receiving brides should
not be believed and that the votes
Of those who were charged with pay
ing bribes should be counted. In re-
lation to the charges that there was
a corruption fund used in the Illinois
legislature and that il was disbursed
by one Robert E. Wilson. the report
says there is no evidence that 1t was
used for the benefit of Mr.. LOrimer.
The committee suggests that any in
vestigatiOn of the use of such a fund
should be made by authorities OF the
state of Illinois.
The report as presented was not
signed by members of the committee.
although II did not appear that there
was any minority. On the floor OF
the senate. however. Mr.. Beveridge
made the statement that he had not
been able tn concur with. or dissent
from the findings because of the vOlu-
minous character of the testimony.
He said he would digest the proceed
ings of the investigating committee
during the holidays. He asked that a
specific time he named for acting on
the report. but objection was made by
Senator Gallinger on the ground that
the matter was privileged and could
be called from the table at any time
by any senator.

Beatrice for City Ownership.

Gage cOunty.-A mass meeting OF
the citizens of Beatrice was held To-
discuss the proposition of installing
an electric light plant with the pro-
posed new waterwOrks system. which
the city recently voted bonds TO

views On the matter and nearly all of
them favored the municipal owner

passed. authorizing the city council
to make 3o-day test of the wells

amount of water was secured. to pro
