There are those who declare that
a United States senatorship from
New Jersey can be bought for
price. Whether this be true or not
as to the past, it is evident that At
will be pretty risky business to at
tempt to gain a seat in the upper
house Of congress by that means
next year. The Lorimer scandal in
Illinois is now shaking that great
state from end to end. No man is
anxious to be placed In Lorimer's
position, yet that is more than likely
TO happen If bribery is attempted in
New Jersey when the next legisla-
ture conyenes. This is particularly
true when there is such keen compe-
tition as is now evident there will be

The Montgomery tribune., 1910-09-16

A bunch of big packers, mag
mates of the beef trust, have been
indicted by the federal grand, jury
at Chicago. It's dollars to dough-
nuts that not one of them will be
convicted. If they are convicted
it is a matter of no consequence.
The jailing of few big business
men may fool the people little,
but the "root of the evil" is not
touched. The preservation of the
Republic depends upon the de-
struction of all holding corpora
tions. New laws arc required.
Where is the statesman that knows
the remedy. The American peo-
pie, regardless of party, will sup
port the man who can suggest the
proper legislation and make them
see it. Don't all speak at once,
gentlemen.

understand why her proud face wore
that look of weary discomfort.
This six weeks visit with her city
cousin had given to Lois, herself, her
one taste of real luxury. It was all
very wonderful. She felt. sometimes.
like a person transported to a land of
enchantment. She had enjoyed every
moment. But her visit was drawing
to close. Soon. she must return to
the drudgery of the school room.
A flush sprang to her cheeks,
kindled by sudden thought. She,
too, could live In beautiful house
with servants at her beck and call
buy her gowns at the big shops pat

way. She need not go back to the
old treadmill round, the uncongenial
tasks, unless she chose to.
But-Ward Winthrop! Well, what
of him? 1t was two years since he
had left Surry without bidding her
goodby. In all probability she
would never see him again The
surest cure for her aching heart was
to set up the image of another in the
shrine SO long kept sacred to him.
Meanwhile Virginia Peyton, on the
other side of the dancing fire, was
looking her over approvingly.

"Progressives" is to say that In

Republicans have been credited
with great improvement in gov

affairs, in industrial, financial and
commercial systems, and in other
matters, but 1t remained for a
British statesman to acknowledge
that they can also improve on the
