.LOR|MER GU|LTLESS
INVESTIGATORS PRESENT PRE-.
DiCTED VERDICT TO FULL
COMMITTEE OF SENATE.
BRIBE EVIDENCE IS NOTED
But Senator Held Innocent of Use of
Money-Enough Votes Left Even
If Some Were Bought-His Major
ity Not Impaired.

Washington.-Sena Lorimer re-
ceived clean bill Of health Saturday
from the subcommittee of the senate
committee on privileges and elections,
which investigated charges of bribery
in connection with his election. The
report of the investigation was made
to the full committee.
The report is unanimous, being
signed by the seven members of the
committee which conducted the in
vestigation.
All the members of the full com
mittee were present with the excep-
ton of Buckley of Connecticut
Frazier OF Tennessee and Johnston of
Alabama. No final disposition was
made of the report, but there will be
another meeting of the full commit
tee Tuesday, when it is expected the
report will be accepted by the full
committee and be presented to the
senate before adjournment for the
holiday recess on Wednesday.
Chairman Burrows, who prepared
the report of the Investigating com
mittee, read it to the full committee
1t was in typewriter form. Close at
tention prevailed during it's reading
and at it's conclusion the committee
ordered it printed.
Copies of the testimony taken in
were ready for distribution among
the members of the full committee
and 1t is expected that some of them
will read portions of the evidence be
fore the committee meets. So far as
can be discovered, however, there is
no minority report in sight, but some
of the members of the committee may
desire to express in brief form theil
views on the character of the evi
dence collected.
With regard to bribery practised ir
the Illinois legislature the subcommit
tee reports that the evidence failed
to connect Mr.. Lorimer with the use
Of money in promoting his election
The committee does not declare that
there could be found no evidence
JndI InC10 WdO UuC
long line of precedents the field Of
investigation laid out for itself by
the committee was to ascertain
whether Mr.. Lorimer could be con
nected with the bribery.
Having disposed of that question
there was only one more for the com
mittee to consider. That was wheth
er Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional major
ity had been impaired by bribery. On
the roll call on which he was elected
May 81, 1909, Mr.. Lorimer received
108 votes, or six more than the 102
which were required to give him a
majority.
Had the committee found evidence
which proved that at least seven mem
bers of the Illinois legislature had
= been bribed to vote for Mr.. Lorimer
it would have to report that he is not
entitled to a seat in the senate. Ac
cording to report Of the Investigating
committee, the evidence failed to i'm
pair Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional ma
jority. Accepting the testimony Of
fered and giving it full credence, the
committee finds that Mr.. Lorimer
would still have a majority Of three
more than the actual number OF
votes required to elect him.

Mankato's first election under the
commission plan appears to have
worked out alright so far, and the
simplicity Of the plan of election,
combining the nomination and cleo
ton of the mayor and commission
with the casting Of a single ballot,
suggests the query why this method
would not work out in our
state and county elections. Itwould
save lot of expense and a lot of
suspense as well. The people would
be just as well served, in our opinion,
if they were permitted to make one
job of the election of their servants.

There is too great a tendency on
the part Of the average citizen to
regard custom as stronger than law,
as shown by the general protest
made in this county in condemning
the action of the assessors of the
county in agreeing to assess Red
wood county in accordance with the
law they are sworn to support. A
similar instance was exhibited at
Mankato recently, the evening of
election day. Contrary to law, but
in accordance with a practice toler-
ated on former occasions, all of the
saloons Of that city opened up for
business at eight o'clock for doing
an extra stroke of business after the
excitement of the days contest, but
unfortunately for them, Rev. E. H.
Willisford, a Baptist minister of
Mankato, noticed this open violation
of law and had the sand to at once
hunt up the chief of police and call
his attention to the fact that the
law was being openly violated.
Chief Pond and his blue coats were
in no hurry to act on the suggestion
at first, but when the minister gave
them notice that il action was not
promptly taken to enforce the law,
he would inform the attorney gener-
al of the fact and ask for the remov-
al of the mayor from Office, in the
language of the Free Press report,
''Mr. Pond realized that Mr.. Willis
ford held the high cards, and at once
issued orders to have the saloons
closed. This was done at once.
When wind of the affair passed
along the street proprietors of bars
and a few others friendly to the IL
quor interests gathered at the police
station and denounced the reverend
gentleman who had succeeded in a
few moments in making a dry town
of Mankato by invoking the law.
Some denounced him and the law.
but it was of no avail. Chief Pond
informed all that the law was clear
and would have to be enforced under
the circumstances. =

The medical examiner of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has been tabu-
lating the physically defective stu
dents of that institution with re-
gard to their scholarship record. and
deduces the conclusion that the av-
erage student who has to be disci-
plined for dishonesty in examina-
tions and work is deficient physically
as well as morally and mentally
that they come short in brain power
and in physical as well as in mental
and moral backbone. One lesson
from this demonstration. is that boys
and girls who are not possessed Of
fairly good health might better be
put to some wholesome outdoor
work than sent to college. Crooked
ness in moral makeup is bad enough
in all classes. but an educated crook
in the learned professions is peril.
