WHAT CLUB QUERIES
BY a Charter Member.

What if the jury. which is the
United States Senate, acquits Sena-
tor Iorimer the second time? VIII
he be tried or investigated again, ir
the next congress? There seems to
be no end to his case The first tria'
or investigation was long protracte6
and seemingly thorough. Those in
terested in the prosecution OF the
senator's case seem to be unrelent-
ing. The violent murderer gets
fairer treatment in the erimina
court than does the senator by the
Senate. The murderer is given the
benefit of any reasonable doubt. and
when acquitted cannot be arraigned
for trial again.
Is it possible that the scramble
for the handling of the $20,000.000
of canal bonds voted by the state
has anything to do with the unre-
lenting prosecution of the Lorimer
case, with the repeated and extraor-
dinarily vigorous investigations?
What about that canal project? Is
there not similarity between it and
the old Illinois and Michigan canal
enterprise? The latter was pro-
iected in the early days OF the state.
The lack of railroads made the need
Of it most apparent. 1t was not CON-
picted as planned, but as far as built
cost the state a great amount OF
money, afforded for years good jobs
for politicians and contractors and
gave rise to much scandal. 1t was
held out to the people that the tolls
from the canal would pay for it and
yield revenue to the state treasury
lfterward. But the people lost con-
idence in the enterprise and as q
consequence the legislature ceased
making appropriations for its con-
itruction. However, appropriations
we're made or its maintenance, and
Tor the salaries and expenses OF a
board of commissioners with assis-
tants to a very recent date. The ca
lal did no business of consequence
ind the tolls from 1t amounted to
nothing comparatively. If we judge
The future by the past. the people of
the state at large have little to ex-
peet in benefits from the investment
they voted for to extend the Chicago
drainage canal.

SOMEBODY LIED.

Some question of veracity seems
to have arisen between Edward
Hines and Ex-senator Aldrich. The
latter denies
That he sent Edward Hines to
Springfield with word from the ad-
ministration that Lorimer should be
elected.
That he ever told Hines President
Taft fovored Lorimer's election
That he ever urged Congressman
Lorimer to become a candidate.
That he authorized Hines to tell
Governor Deneen to wire the Presi-
dent if the governor doubted Taft
was for Lofimer.
The former senator testified:
That Hines first suggested Lori
mer's candidacy to him.
That he told Hines the President
was not supporting the candidacy of
anyone.
That he also told him Lorimer
was not Objectionable to the Presi-
dent, just as he previously had told
him the President had no objection
to Hopkins or Boutell

OLD MRS SOLOMON
[By Helen Rowlandl

I by Helen ROWiaHub
Have you little husband in your
home?
For, what is home without one OF
these, oh, my daughter? Even as a
Christmas tree without the trim
mings?
Behold. husband is the trimming
on the tree of life.
He is a thing of beauty and a toy for
ever.
He is decoration and a badge of
merit more to be cherished than a
Carnegie medal.
But a manless woman is an ah0mi-
nation under the sun! She shall be
cast out and covered with scorn.
The scoffers shall scott at her, and
walters and porters, and janitors
shall not bow down before her.
Yet, behold, when anything in
trousers appeareth at her side, she
shall be covered with reflected glory.
For 10. woman is only woman,
but man though he be bald, and fat
and grouchy, and frayed at the edges,
is man for all that! And he look
eth like "tip!"
Go to! She that hath not an hus-
band shall find all her days flat, stale
and Improbable. But an husband
shall give thee work for thy hands to
do. asaszAszt.
Yea, he shall scatter thy carpets
with ashes AMI newspapers; he shall
make holes in his socks that thou
mayest amuse myself darning them;
he shall burst off his buttons that
thou mayest put them on again.
And what is life without an occu-
pationi Alas, how shall a lone wo-
man bear the monotony of eXistance,
with none to criticise her and none
to argue with her; with no one to
dictate unto her and nothing to get
upon her nerves?
For behold, an household without
the morning row and the evening jar
is more insipid than q village with
out scandal!
Therefore, | charge thee, get thee
an husband! Yea, verify, verify,
even a bought borrowed or stolen
husband is more to be desired than
none at all.
For, what profiteth woman,
though she have every other luxury
in the world, and have not little
husband in her home?
