lorlmer Defends Himself From
Bribery Charges.
SAYS FRI-AOSHIp WON SEAT

Tells Of Early Struggles and Explains
Relations With Democratic Mem
bers of Illinois Legislature, Who
Not only Voted For Him Them
selves, but Also Induced Friends to
Fall In Line--Does Not Attempt to
Answer Evidence Presented.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Will
liam Lorimer of Illinois on the floor
OF the senate delivered a notable
speech in his own defense. The sena-
tor reviewed his life from his hum
BILE beginning as bootblack and
newshoy on the streets of Chicago to
his election finally to seat in the
United States senate.
In telling his story Lorimer dis
closed the secret of his career and
the methods by which he has built
up his powerful political organiza-
ton in the city of Chicago. 1t
was the story of the rise of polit-
lea! boss, told with details that i'm
pressed every senator. According to
Senator Lorimers story, kindness to
others was the foundation on which
his political power was. builded.
The most of this story Senator
Lorimer told by way of explaining
why SO Democratic votes were cast
the Illinois legislature. He declared
that 81 of these came to him purely
on the grounds Of friendship, and
that these "a influenced the remain
ing 10 Democrats to support him.
With uplifted hands he denied upon
his word as a man and a senator
that he had ever resorted to bribery
in any election, or had ever had any
knowledge of the use of money In
corrupt practices.
Severe on Senator Root.
The Illinois senator did not at
tempt to answer the evidence pre-.
sented in the case. He declared
merely that he did not know OF any
bribery, and then devoted himself to
telling all that he did know about
his election and why the Democrats
had voted for him. Senator Lorimer
was particularly severe on Senator
Root and repeatedly in his address
turned to him and pointed personal
questions.
Senator Lorimer's speech made
deep impression on the senate and
the opinion seemed to prevail at the
conclusion that he had done much to-
ward saving his seat in that body
It was not so much the subject mat
ter Of Senator Lorimer's speech as
the sincerity with which 1t was de-
livered that impressed the senate.
At times while he was speaking sew
eral senators were in tears.
The scene In the senate chamber
during the speech was dramatic.
Every chair on the floor was occu-
pied and nearly all the remaining
space was taken by members of the
house of representatives. The gal
leries were crowded. Mrs. Taft, the
presidents wife, and her son Robert
were in the senate gallery during
part of the address. Hundreds who
were unable to gain admission crowd
ed the senate corridors. Senator
Lorimer's speech lasted almost four
hours. At its conclusion he was con-
graduated by several of the senators
who are supporting him.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY FINANCE

Boston university has run behind
financially $267,OOO in 10 years, with
annual deficits ranging from $4,000
to $4,000, but in spite of that it's as
sets above liabilities, which 80 years
ago were less than $5OO,OOO, now ex-
ceed $2,000,O00, not taking into ac-
count any sums paid or to be paid up
on the 100000 endowment fund of
1910. This happy result has been pro-
duced by the increasing value of it's
real estate. 1t is doubtful if any 9TH
er educational institution in the coun-
try has had such excellent financial
management.-Bost Globe.

TEXAS GREAT
ON bR0OMC0RN

SAN ANTOIO, Texas, Especially -
Experiments in broom corn which
have been carried on in many parts
of southwest Texas have demonstrate
ed that this useful commercial pro-
duct can be made source of great
profit to the state. 1t is maintained
by those who have made experiments
that southwest Texas has greater
possibilities for the production of this
plant than any other part of the coun-
try, from the fact that where broom
corn can be grown by irrigation the
moisture can be controlled in such
manner as not to force the growth
of the plant at that time when the
brush is forming and thus prevent the
Topping down" that is such an in
jury to the commercial value of the
brush.
So promising has grown broom corn
culture that already number of the
great consumers in the broom corn
belts of Illinois and Kansas have been
casting about for places to locate
broom factories, farmers having given
the assurance that they will plant a
sufficient area of broom corn to supply
the factory with raw material all the
year round. Another advantage in the
growing of tlis crop in the southwest
Texas that is not present in other
localities where brush growing takes
the lead is the fact, already demon.
strated, that two crops can be grown
here each year. With the many oppor-
tunities presented, and the fact that
broom corn culture is already beyond
the experimental stage, the prediction
is made that Texas will, in few
years, hold the same position in broom
corn production that the state does
in the production of cotton-be the
leader in this agricultural product.

OF
TEXAS women

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, August s.
Especially jim no part of the country
do women have greater independence
and ways of their own than in Texas.
The Texas girl is the very imperson-
alton of all that is essential in the
real womanly woman. In addition to
all those qualities which are SO i'm
portant to womanly grace and dignity,
she is capable of taking care of her
self. Those pictures which some
years ago showed the Texas girl as a
rowdy tom-boy astride a broncho in a
wild dash through the cactus did the
women of Texas very grave in
justice. It is true that the Texas girl
can ride a horse-just like man
but there is nothing about her that
suggests the undignified when she
does so. She is at home on a horse
just as she is at home in the most re-
fined social circles. The fact is she
is doing her part in the worlds work
in that modest and womanly way that
makes her most pleasing and at
tractive somebody. Recently John Y.
Kline of Springfield, Mass, spent two
months in Texas, and this is the way
he describes the Texas girl who is
doing things in most emphatic man.
