THIS Is THE VITAL ISSUE WHICH
coNFRoNTS THE SENATE OF
THE UNITED STATES.
Special to The journal.

Washington. Jan. 13.-The vital
issue which confronts the United
States senate in the Lorimer case is
this:
Whether in the election Of Mr.. Lori
mer there were used or employed cor.
rupt methods or practices"
What does the evidence show? Let
US see:
State Senator D. w. Holtslaw of
Illinois appeared before the senate
COMMITTEES duly appointed to take tes-
timony in the case and ON his oath de-
'clared that State Senator John Brod-
erick (another member Of the legisla-
ture which elected Mr.. Lorimer) prom
ised him money if he would vote for
Lorimer. Witness testifies that on the
next morning after this promise, on
May IS, 1909. he voted for Lorimer,
and that on the 18th day of June, 1909,
in Chicago, ILL.,, John Broderick paid
him $4,000 in currency, and he de-
posted the same with the State Bank
Of Chicago, Ill, to the credit of the
Holtslaw Bank. of Iuka, Ill. He is
confirmed by the bank officer who re-
ceived the money, Jarvis o. Newton,
and by the deposit slip Of the State
Bank Of Chicago, June 16, 1909, show.
ing that this amount was deposited in
currency.
Frederick was called before the
committee, but refused to answer ques.
tions on the avowed ground that he
might incriminate himself, and is
under indictment at Springfield, ILL.,,

H. J. c. Beckemeyer appeared be.
fore the senate committee and made
oath that after entering into corrupt
arrangement with Lee O'Neill Browne,
(leader OF the Browne faction Of 81
members of the Democratic party in
the lower Illinois house), he voted for
Lorimer ON May 26, and received on

when It is remembered that Secretary
Norton had. and probably still has. in
surgent leanings. and yet, hard as he
has striven to obtain a measure of rec
ognition for the Insurgents. he has by
no means succeeded in winning their
friendship.
The SeCretary's Salary.
The present Secretary has been cred
tied with antagoniZing certain members
of the Cabinet. Washington has be-
Heved that he was ambitious to succeed
Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeagh
and also to Gust Postmaster-Gc General
Hitchcock. His activities in that re-
spcct probably have been over-empha-
sized but members of the Cabinet note
the newspaper comment about such
matters and are Just as human as other
folks in their consequent resentment.
The efforts on foot at the Capitol
to obtain salary of $4,000 for the
Secretary TO the President indicate thar
he wants to obtain a seasoned man.
who already has some prominence in
public life and must be given quite a
salary before he win consent to serve.
The present salary is $4,000 year. to
which figure it was raised some three
years ago, having been $4,000 for a
long period. Generally q comparative
~ young man has been chosen and
most often he has been man who was
not earning a. large compensation. The
position is undoubtedly one of much re-
sponsibility. especially calling for tact
and resourcefulness.
Few men have filed the position with
notable success. IT is generally conced-
ed that the late Dan Lamont was the
greatest Secretary to a President, but
IL was almost 80 years ago that he
sat in the outer office Of President
Cleveland. during the first Administra-
ton. George B. Cortelyou was also a
distinct success as Secretary, and sc
was William Loeb, Jr. Lamont mad
been a newspaper correspondent at AL
bany; Cortelyou a Government clerk;
Loeb a stenographer and reporter al
Albany.
The Secretary, of course, is more ir
the Presidents confidence than any
other official-at least, should be, if he
is the proper man for the job. 1t Is
said, and quite correctly. that the Sec
rotary to the President ranks in Wash
ington next to a Cabinet official in Adj
ministration Importance. The Score
tary can undoubtedly do very much &c
make or mar an Administration.

have been acquainted with the Presi-
dents attitude. and the Foreign Office
to have communicated with ambassador
Bryce about it. British officials say
the request came from Washington, and
acting upon il, Mr.. Bryce talked with
the President about the situation very
early i'm January. Secretary of State
Knox also participated in the prelimi-
nary conversations, and his predecessor.
Mr. Root (now Senator from New
York;. has been consulted.
1t is too early to say whether there
is much promise of another arbitration
treaty. Washington opinion seems to
be that the Immediate prospects are
none too bright. The great problem Is
to work out some arrangement that
will be acceptable to the Senate and not
encroach upon its constitutional pre-
rogrative a part of the treaty making.
| When the arbitration treaties that the
late Secretary Hay negotiated were be-
! fore the Senate amendments We're in
icorporatcd that wherever arbitration
was sought "a special treaty, defining
clearly the matter in dispute. the scope

The periods to be fixed for the forma-
/ ton of the arbitral tribunal and the

Senate for its approval. President

President Roosevelt's intimate personal
friends who insisted upon the amend

unal. 1t is in the minds of some au-
thorities that such appeals shall ulti-
mately be before an International Arbi-
tra:ion Court such as the American So
ciety is seeking to establish. But, a:
already cited, the hitch in every plan
suggested thus far is the opposition OF
the Senate to a accomplishment of its
authority to have a say in the fina
settlement of any international dispute
