I.oRIMER,s MAGNAN1MIrY.

Senator William Lorimer of Illinois is one
magnanimous soul He had an opportunity 10

eminent. but refused to accept il, because he
did not feel that 1t belonged to him. How Mr.,
Iorimer can take this attitude toward coin OF
the republic and diametricaly opposite one
toward United States senatorship, is probably
understood by him and mis- friends, but by few
others
The $4,000 spurned by the Illlnoisan was to
reimburse him for the expenditures he incurred
in defending himself in the investigation of his
unfitness to sit in the Senate The item was

things about the Lorimer

Of this proceeding is the fact that the

lavish hand during the waning hours of the
Sixty-frst session They are cutting large

LET THE BAND PLAY.

A little music now and then Is relished by the
best of men. well women and children
There is wide demand for music in the parks OF
Richmond during the summer months, and it is
TO be hoped that Mayor Richardson can see his
way clear to approve the provision of the city
budget for concerts in the parks.
Life in a sun-kissed Southern city during the
heated term is most trying, and little dulcet
sound suggestive of cooling breezes, wild whist
ling winds, limpd pools. rushing rivers and
riotous cataraets. would help no little toward
dtverting the public mind from the sitting dis
comforts of summer. In addition to its enjoy
ment feature, music has great uplifting infu-
ence, which makes it most desirable in public
parks, where men, women and children of all
walks of life may assemble and come under its
magic and soothing SPELL
There are countless good and worthy reasons
for music in the parks of Richmond, and the
City Council has done well to devise a means
whereby the $4,000 necessary for the concerts
can be made available. A teohnicality is said
to stand In the path of the Mayors approving
pen. BY the legal removal OF this obstacle and
signing OF the music measure, Mayor Richard.

RIGHT MAN IN TIE RIGHT PLACE

The Board of Police Commissioners made an
admirable choice for Chief of Police of Rich
mond. The favored man is Major Louis Wer-
ner the present incumbent, who is of exceeding
ly good report.
In beginning his new term of three years
Major Werner starts out with the confidence of
the entire public of the capital city and the best
wishes and hopes for the same success In the
future which has characterized his administra-
ton in the past. In Major Werner Richmond
has a most able and competent chief of police
and man who is an honor to the municipal
government He Is a genial, popular and jolly
man, who while mixing with the men under
his direction. never loses their respect esteem
Major Werner Ia broad-nnded and efficient
public officer who performs his duty most sat
isfactorily and daily proves his worthiness for
the greatest confidence. Under his administra
tion crime has been lesscned the police regula
tons and other laws we'll enforced, and the po.
lice department buided up until it is a credit to
the city. 1t Is fitting that at the commencement
of terms for him that the force be increas
ed that he may more effectively enforce the reg
utations entrusted to him for obedience.
The police department has made great head
way and progress with Major Werner its
head, and his reappointment means not only a
continuation of the creditable regime but better
things for the city and the chief.

achievement to his native land. The proofs OF
his discovery convinced learned scientists and
geographers that he had attained that which
men had striven to achieve for 400 years, and
failed.
Lieutenant Schackleton. of the British navy
reached a point within III miles Of the South
Pole and England not only lavished honors
upon him. but held him up to the world as the
greatest explorer of the age. England had
faith in Schackleton, and it has shown its faith
in Captain Peary as the first man to reach the
North Pole by showering praise and honors upon
him All the world, with the exception of his
native land, has recognized Peary as the boldest
and most successful explorer OF modern times
Yet when a measure came before Congress to
reward him for his services. he was villihed,
abused condemned and excoriated as a 'faker"
and "loafer." Truly "a prophet is not without
glory save in his own land" In attacking Peary
his enemies made him but the stronger, and held
the nation up to ridicvie before the eyes Of
the world.
