and cheapest means of entertainment ever de-

many of them are good. Some are no mean

that type give breadth to ONES mental vision.

OF such are seen right here in Norfolk.

LORIMER, AGAIN.

The country at large can but endorse the ac-
lion o. Senators La Toilette and Dillingham; in
introducing resolutions In the United States
Senate having for their object a second investt-
cation by a Senate committee of the methods
used ia the election of Senator Lorimer, of ILL.,

Since the first investigation of this case. con.
Quoted by the committee. evidence Of d more
startling character even than that presented to
the ommittee has developed. and there is now
net the shadow OF a doubt that many thousands
of dollars were raised and paid to bribe mem.
bers Of the Illinois Legislature to vote for Lori
mer The gist Of the decision Of the committee
was that, while there was no doubt of the use Of
money, there was no evidence that Lorimer MAS
aware that bribery had been committed in his
interests.
1t is freely charged that large lumber inter
ests very materially aided In bringing Illinois
legislators to see the deslrability OF voting for
Iorimer. So much Of scandal has been shown
in connection with the whole transaction that.
by a large majority, the present Legislature of
the State he represents has denounced Lorimer,
That Senator Lorimer still holds his seat Is a
very clear evidence Of his lack Of those qualities
which make for -statesmanship. Had he been
possessed of that manhood Americans prize SO
highly and had been ignorant of the terrible
crimes against right and truth shown 10 have
been committed to encompass his election, he
would have spurned the purchased honor and
gone before the people asking for a clean title
at their hands to his senatorial seat
Political Office holds no honor for any man If
ii is won at the price OF honor. Better never
occupy the forum or take a seat in a legislative
hall than to achieve political success by dishon-
est methods!
The United States Senate must be purged.
Lorimer is not the only man wearing a senator
ial toga who befouls the body and makes OF it ii
disgrace to the nation. The Senate must reform
yea, transform-itself. or an indignant people
will reform It with a vengeance.
