Lorimer's Case.

1t now appears that Mr.. Lori
mer will be ousted from the Sen
ate of the United States-a very
rare thing. 1t is also very grave
thing. 1t verifies the declaration
that, whatsoever man sows that
shall he reap. We cannot, and do
not, say that he is guilty, but it is
evident that something was done
far beneath the dignity of a
United States Senator. You must
do right, because the claws of

sor with oppressed" Mr.. Lori
mer may be clean, but his reputa-
ton is besmirched.

There is often this assertion
made: "You cannot enforce the

We take issue with that conten-

everything which is not right.
Public sentiment" can be to mob

public sentiment is wrong, change

"There are other things the peo-
pie need along with new system
of government. This city, not
only now, but has for many years
past needed pure water. We have
been startled with the dreadful
warning too often in the past

pers, Boil your waterl On ac-
count of shortage in the galleries
we are compelled to pump from

pure water part of the time but

people elect me one of their Com

dition to giving them good and
faithful service in all other mat
tiers to do my utmost in securing
for them good water the year

of this county and this Senatorial
district last fall, but we are
ashamed of the recognition our
people from this county and dis
