~CR I'<AD
At Lynden when the sun is low
Good people TO the church do go.
And while the faithful wear a shrold
The sinners hide behind Dan Cloud.
At Sumas when the sun is high
The bad ones soar up in the sky
The good man reads to empty pews
A red hot sermon on the News.
At Blaine, when the moons aglare,
Up in heavens Russian bear
Behold q scene of wild disorder
AS the boys go hiking Ger the border
Here at Ferndale both day and night
You'll find the boys who live just
right.
Whose lives are free from all discord
Who take their dope from the Re-
cord.
-Ferndale Record.
Everson people are hard to beat
You see happy faces on every street,
EversOn land is a rich brown loan
And every body wants Valley Home
-EversOn Valley Home.
And thus they talk, these friends Of
mine,
A picking faults of mine and thine
Though in our eyes a moat may be,
In theirs | trOw sa whole fir tree.

Everything Goes Democratic but the Eleventh and i
Loses its Grip-McCrearys Majority May be 10000.

Tuesday looked like an O'Rear day
but there was some deception some
where. 1t turned out to be a Nc
Croary day-McCreary with a veng-
eance.
Four years ago Wilson carried the
State by $4,000 plurality. Tuesday it
swung back into the Democratic col
umn to the tune of nearly double
that number. Indeed, as we go 10
press. the extravagant claim of 49,
900 majority is made.
OF course the entire Democratic
ticket was elected. and the Legisla-
ture is even more hopelossly Demo-
cratic, as a joint ballot will probably
show 1O7 Democrats. % Republicans
and 8 doubtful. This will send James
to the Senate with whoop, and,
for years to come make such thing
as fair districting measure unthink-
able.
The great surprise OF the day was
the reduced majority given the Re-
publicans in the Eleventh where it
Is claimed 1t will go as low as $4,000
when Il ought to have been $1,000,
and little less surprise Is expressed
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1911-11-09

as to the result in the Tenth where
an even break is claimed between Nc
Creary and O'Rear.
The claims of Democratic disaffec-
ton seem to have beeen entirely
groundless as the ticket swept every
District in the State usually Demo
cratic with the old time majorities,
and made inroads upon the Tenth
and Eleventh, the Republican strong
holds.
Coming down to the local situation,
ii appears that WEIGH, the Renubli-
can candidate for Senator in the
Twonty-ninth District, is elected, but
Kelly, for the Legislature from Madi-
son, was defeated by a small major
ity.
The vote for Councilmen in Berea
was as follows:

OUR RECORD OF SHAME

OUR hECORD OF SHAME
More beer is consumed in the Unit
ed States than in any other country
Of the world, and more distilled
spirits. than in any other country
except Russia. The quantity per ca
pita consumed in the United States
is not, however, in the case of beer,
as great as in Belgium, United King
dom, Germany, or Denmark; while
our per capita consumption Of dis
titled spirits is less than that Of Dem
mark, Hungary. Austria, France, Me-
therlands, or Sweden. OF wines, the
quantity consumed in the United
States is below that of Portugal, Spain,
Germany, Italy, or France; and the
per capita consumption is less than
that Of France, Italy. Portugal. Spain.
Switzerland, Austria, or Hungary.
HIGH PRICES EVERYWHERE
That prices have advanced in other
parts of the world as well as in the
United States is evidenced by a state
ment prepared by the Bureau of Sta
tistics, Department of Commerce and
Labor. comparing import prices at
the present time with those of GER
tain earlier years. The import figures
of the United States government re-
present, under existing laws and reg
ulations, the prices Of the articles
in question in the wholesale markets
Of the country from which imported,
and a comparison, therefore, of the
average import prices of the princi-
pal articles imported at the present
time with those of cores
ponding periods in earlier years in
dicates, in some degree at least, q
rise in prices.
ITALY THE UNSPEAKABLE
Heretofore it has been "the un-
speakable Turk; hereafter it will
be or ought to be 1.-The unspeakaDle
Italian" In spite of carefully censor
ed dispatches, 1t has gradually leaked
out that the Turks have been giving
the Italians unexpected trouble IN
their occupation of Tripoli, and 20
get revenge the invading army has
resorted to the tactics of the savage,
innocent women and children by the
hundreds being mercilessly slaughter
ed. One is supposedly a Christian
nation. the other Mohammedan ma
ton, and the civilized. or at least
the Christian world, might have ex-
pected such atrocities to be committed
by the Turks. But on the contrary,
they have manifested humanitarian
spirit from the first, Italian subjects
being protected throughout the EN-
pire. The attitude of the Italians is
neither humanitarian nor Christian.
The history of other Catholic coun-
tries is recalled. Did not the Italian
troops have the blessing of the Pope?
PEKING CAPTURED
Unconfirmed dispatches state that
the Revolutionists captured the
Chinese Capitol. Sunday. and are now
in possession of the Government. the
Emperor fleeing northward. The dis
patch also says that a Republic will
be Immediately established.
Later advices. while showing the
progress OF the revolutionists, say
nothing of the capture of the capi-
toll. so the previous reports were
doubtless untrue.

dent Of Mexico was driven from the
Capitol and almost mobbed on his
way TO the sea coast where he took

w. LORIMER,
ACTOR, TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE
Commits Suicide by Stuffing
Head Into Gas Oven in
New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Wright Lori
nner, the well-known actor committed
suicide today by inhallns gas at his
home, 124 West Sixty-fifth street.
Lorimer was IS years of age and be-
gan his stage career in Chicago sew
eral years ago. lie was best known in
the production of "The Shepherd
King" which he wrote with Arnold
Reeves.
Lorimer had made a careful plan to
commit suicide, as his body was found
lying on the kitchen floor with the
head stuffed in an open gas oven and
pressed against the open gas Jets. The
gas jets in the room also were turned
on. Precautions had been taken to
prevent tho escape of gas into the
hall or through the windows. The
actor had been dead an hour when
found.
Lorlmer left three letters, two Of
which weree addressed to business as
sociates and the third one addressed
to Friends" which was suppressed by
the police until the coroner had taken
charge of the body. Financial troubles
are believed to have been the cause Of
Lorimer's suicide.
