A Scene of College Life.

indianapolis, (Ind) Journal - The
large reception granted the Obeflin
College Glee Club at the English opera
house last night was most gratifying
and bespeaks the popularity of this
organization in this city. From the
first number to the last this young
body of college students had the sym
pathy of the Aaudience, who warmly
applauded every effort. Local male
choruses might profit by the marvel
ously delicate pianissimos, which was
by long odds the most prominent fea
ture of their singing. In the second
part the rise of the curtain disclosed
dimly lighted moonlight scene with
tie club attired in college costume
grouped together, and singing songs
at will to the accompaniment of man
dolin, banjo and guitar. These were
thoroughly refreshing in their comedy
and represented the lads at home, The
! bristled with funny things.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. with the
entire country looking on, each individ-
ual member of the United States sem
ate will soon have to go on record
either 70 ror against Lorimerism.
Every senator who votes for Lori
merism will have that vote charged
up to his record. When he comes up
for reelection to the senate, or if he
ever runs for any other elective posi-
tion, his opponent will be sure to point
to the vote for Lorimer and to urge
it as a good reason why the people
should retire him to private life.
Every senator knows this as well
as does the writer. Those members
who are against Lorimerism and all
that it stands for are glad to have the
opportunity to go on record. But those
senators who for any reasons feel
bound to vote for Lorimer are squirm-
ing. The entire matter is very an
noying to them. They hope some way
may be found or invented so that a
direct vote may be avoided.
Indications are, however. that the
Lorimer senators will have to step out
before the people of the nation and
show where they stand. The fight
against Lorimer will be forced by a
motion declaring that Lorimer is not
entitled to his seat, and, as such mo-
tion is privileged, it can be disposed
! of only by a majority vote. The pub
llic should watch how their senators
vote. 1t only happens now and then
that senators are forced into a posi-

tion where they must reveal their true
colors, and the people ought to take
advantage of such opportunities. The
vote on the LoriEaer report may be
considered a thermometer registering
every senator's temperature on the
proposition OF keeping politics in gen
eral, and the election of United States
senators in particular, clean and
wholesome.
1t is hoped the senators who are
making such courageous fight
against the adoption of the Lorimer
report will guide proceedings in the
senate so that the resolution provid-
ing for a constitutional amendment to
elect senators by direct vote may be
brought before the senate while the
Lorimer case is pending, so that both
may be discussed at the same time
and the bearing C. one upon the other
clearly demonstrated Nothing could
more forcibly illustrate the need of di
rect elections of senators than the cor
ruption and jugglery which give Boss
Lorimer his seat.
A progressive is authority for the
statement that not fewer than thirty
senators are against permitting Lori
mer to remain a member of the sen
ate. This is far from a majority, but
the number is large enough to assure
tremendous battle before the case is
disposed Of

About the oberIIn slnqers.

Bridgeport, Conn., Standard-As to
the excellence of the concert program
too much cannot be said. 1t was re-
marked on all sides that the whole
affair was conspicuously marked by
the absence of the rough and tumble
music which is usually to be expected
in programs rendered by college clubs.
Each and every one OF the numbers
given was of the highest type of musi-
cal arrangement, and while the youth
full exuberance of the performance was
always present, there was nothing dur
ing the hour and half of the program
to which the slightest objection could
be found by even the most exacting
person The vein of humor which ran
through a great many of the selections
was of the highest and most refined
type and the music was, from techni'
cal and artistic standpoint, very ex'
cellent. The voices were all good and
the balance of the parts were most
admirable.

That the money of an honest well
managed bank should be taken to pay
the losses of mismanaged rival was
pointed out by the supreme court as a
weakness in the bank guaranty law.
This, of course, is lamentable weak
ness, but is so far outweighed by the
vast benefits to the depositors as to
be of little consequence. 1t MAY have
the effect of wedding out the poorly
managed banks and placing all banks
upon a higher plane.

because Mrs Rowley had disapproved of it as being
what she called Sensational"
A THOUGH Mrs. Rowley loved her daughter in her
hard, untender way, she did not at all approve of
the little she knew of her; and there nothing
she diSapproved of in Emmie than her name.
Naturally when, after the preliminary sons, a little
daughter came to Omesegh Hall, Mrs Rowey wished
and expected this infant to be called Eliza after herself
and her mother But, to her unbounded establishment,
Mr. Rowley insisted on the babys being christened
Emilia name to which Mrs. Rowley strongly objected:
first, because neither she the infant father had
relation called, and, secondly, because it alto

Rowley's Victorian notions But Mr.. Rowley had his

beaten track of the pre-

Rowley condoned these
two lapses on the
ground of general good

the memory of her

husband with true
wifely loyalty. In fact,
she eventually turned
the latter of these lapses
into a source of pride,
as proving what an
exceptionally devoted
father Mr.. Rowley had

Although she hal

Rowley had never had

One or two humble
aspirants for her favor

of her parents, before
they had developed into
