ONE OF LoRmEn,s ACQUITTED.

Browne, the minority leader of the
Illinois Legislature, charged with brib-
cry in connection with the election of
Lormer to the United States Senate,
was found not guilty by the jury in
the Criminal Court at Chicago yester-
day. On his first trial the jury failed
to agree; on the second trial he has
been acquitted. But never mind: when
the Colonel comes back into his own.
trial by jury will be abolished, and
all the forms be made to fit the Execu-
tive will. 1t is lucky for Browne that
he got away before the change comes.
1t would seem that the Colonel's refus-
ing to eat with Lorimer did not have
the desired effect on the course of JUS
tice in this case After awhile it will
be found that the people will resent
more and more the interference of out
siders in the administration Of their
own affairs.

WHAT THE COLONEL SUPPRESSED

WHAT THE COLONEL SUPPRESSED.
In his speech al Freeport the Col
onel accepted the sympathy of Mr..
bosses in New York; but he omitted
to make any mention whatever of other
equally important things in what he
called Mr. Hearst's "open letter"
which was really a cable dispatch
from Paris to the New York American.
He failed to say that Mr.. Hearst does
not trust him eff Mr.. Roosevelt is In
earnest in that proposal, let MIN come
back to New York; ut is q little diff
cult to understand exactly what Mr..
he really believes It," Mr.. Hearst SYM
pathizes With Mr.. Roosevelt against
the bosses. that is to say. If MIR. Roose-
Welt is really against the bosses, and
that is the extent of Mr.. Hearsts
sympathy, which was much advertised
by the Colonel at l'reeport. But this
is not all Mr.. Hearst said in his open
letter." For example:
I cannot sympathize with Mr.. Roose-
velt's opposition to President Taft. It
savors too much of small envy and
petty jealousy.
l cannot sympathize with Mr.. Roose-
velt's reckless and indiscriminate at
tack upon the financial interests. ut
is too reminiscent of Mr.. RooseYelt's
! unfortunate connection with the late
| lamentable panic.
Reckless attack upon the financial
interests is not particularly COM
| mendablc or especially judlcious from
| Mr. Roosevelt Just now. The financial
| situation is in a somewhat critical
| condition. The banks. while perfectly
| solvent. have been subjected to con-
! siderable strain.
[ Business generally is just recovering
i from the stress of the recent panic.
and violent and vindictive threats
levelled at the business world can
| do little good, and may, do much harm
| to the whole country.
Business development depends large
~ upon confidence, and is more IN
settled by boisterous talk than by
stringent acts conservativcly per-
| formed.
MI, Roosevelt speaks lightly Of
| financial disaster. but MI. RooseNel'
should realize that a financial depres'
/ sion affects more than the iinanclers
| A panic may cause iBconvenience tc
| the rich. but 1t brings actual suffering
to the poor. In times Of depression
the rich may not afford to buy dia,
monds, bur the poor can hardlyNaffort
to buy bread.
| There can be no question that a cor.
noration should be controlled by Law
for the public good, exactly as an In
diyidual Is. there can be no question
that criminal corporation should b
prosecuted. convicted and punished
exactly as Mr., Taft prosecuted ant
punished the criminal Sugar Trust. ani

we lend hearty assent. The record
! proves that much.
1t is to be doubted whether any man
was a more pronounced opponent
| of Cannonism in the recent fight on the
/ Speaker than Judge Saunders. He was
! right In the thick of the parliamentary
| battle, delivering at the time power
/ full arraignment or the despotic rule OF
| the Speaker and uttering plea for
the reform of the House rules,
Hear the Indictment which Judge
Saunders filed against the Speaker on
| the floor of the House:
| "This is our whole contention, that
| too much power has been lodged in the
, hands Of the Speaker and his kitchen
| cabinet The easy boss and the be
| nevolent despot' have no place among
I, a free people or In representative
| body that aspires to be free.
| The Speaker must be divorced from
active political and partisan manages
ment.' In matters of legisla-
tion the Speaker should have no policy.
1t is for the House to determine its own
! policy In these matters For some
years past, the Speaker, in an increas-
/! Ing degree has practically determined
| the course of business, and has refused
to recognize members to make motions
that would allow the House to change
| this course or to establish different
one. The reins have been too
long held by one man, who should be
the servant, and not the master, of this
body"
That was pretty strong talk, but
iorc or
Here is the definition of Cannonism
| which he gave on the same occasion:
HE (Cannon) at least bestrides this
House. The Speaker, whether from
! our supineness or by reason of his own
aggressiveness. holds and exercises u
power which attaches to and, as a mat
| ter of right, belongs to this body.
| Matters have come to this point. that
save as to questions of privilege. prac
| tically no matter of any kind can be
the consent OF the Speaker. He has
ruled with a high hand. Legislation
which he opposed ;. was fore
| doomed to feat. -. He has had
| the power to reward and to punish . /.
and to do Injustice The ex-
| cesses OF unbridled power are ever the
\ exciting causes of revolution"
i For good many reasons some per-
tanning to the past and some to the
future, we entertain no doubt that
| Speaker Cannon would be glad to see
| Judge Saunders's seat in the next
House filed by the Great Hand Shaker,
the Hon. John Mae Parsons. But-the
Speaker has disappointment in store
for him, for the indications are that
Judge Saunders will go back to Con-
gress to fill the same old seat and
make the same powerful speeches that
he has made all along. Cannonism
and all those that support it are
doomed. The Speaker, with shrewd
political motive, may have sent Judge
Saunders to Oklahoma, but when Con-
gress next convenes, the Speaker will
be given to know that Judge Saunders
| could, nevertheless, come back"

SOME THOUGHTS ON DRESS

upon the visits of President Taft to
that historic place.

SAUNDERS AND THE SPEAKER.

The Roanoke Times raises rather
interesting question which bears d.
srectly on the fight for Congress in the
EYftb District between saunders and
Parsons. 1t says:
"Probahly the facts never will be
known. but 1t does look a little curious
that Judge Saunders, the Democratic
member of Congress and nominee IN
the Fifth Virginia District, was sent
out to Oklahoma by Speaker Cannon TO
serve on an Investigating committee
there just at the time when other menu
bers were getting to work for them
selves. The Republicans wink slyly,
we are told by Richmond dispatches,
when the matter is mentioned 1t
would have been easy to pick man
with no fight on his hands. Judge
Saunders Is one of the few Southern
Democratic members who did have
lights to meet
IF Judge Saunders was selected and
sent away that he might be crippled.
the fact proves that the Speaker had
marked him as a strong and dangerous
man, whose defeat was desirable from
a Republican standpoint"

Is. proposition on which We arc in
thorough accord with our contempt

FIRST PARTY is A SURPRISE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Mildred had never had a birthday
party though she was twelve years old.
One evening a, few weeks before her
birthday, she lay awake wondering If
she would ever have party. She
made her mind to ask her mother in
the morning if she might have one on
her birthday.
Just as she awoke next morning her
bedroom door opened and in came her
mother.
"You are to go out to Aunt Mable's
to spend few weeks" said her mother
Mildred was so busy getting ready
she did not think about her birthday
About 10 o'clock that morning there
came a knock at the door.
Mildred went and opened it, and there
stood her uncle. In the street was their
carriage and her Aunt Mable was sit
ting in it.
"Oh, Uncle John, have you come aft
er me-" cried Mildred.
Eyes Mildred. and if you are ready
we will go right along"
That afternoon Mildred's mother sent
invitations to all of Mildred's friends.
The day before Mildred's birthday
her mother wrote her a letter telling
her to come home on the afternoon of
the next day.
When Mildred reached home the next
day her mother told her to go in the
parlor. There were all of her friends.
They played games until Mildreds
mother called them to lunch.
For lunch they had sandwiches, pop
corn balls, bananas, ice cream and
cake. IRENE WATRY.
