KENYON FAvoRS PROSECUTION
After Testimony Of Several witnessed
Had Been Disputed by Million
aire Lumberman, Iowa Sen
ator Became Aroused.

Washington, June 30.-"Now there
ought to be some prosecutions for per
jury right here" Senator Kenyon OF
Iowa exclaimed after Edward Hines,
a Chicago millionaire lumberman, had
contradicted several witnesses who
testified against Senator Lorimer in
the senate investigation Of Lorimer's
election.
The Iowan did not explain his re-
mark and gave no indication as to
whom he believed ought to be prose
cuted.
Hines, It Is charged, solicited con
tributiops to a 100000 fund said to
have been expended In electing Lori
mer. Ali day Mr.. Hines was on the
stand and his examination. was not
concluded when the committee ad-
journed. His FIRST testimony that at
tracted deep interest was 9 detailed
account Of how he said President
Taft, Senator Aldrich and Senator
Penrose had him exert his influence
to have Mr.. Lorimer elected to the
senate.
Mr.. Hines denied in It's entirety the
testimony Of Clarence s. Funk, gen
eral manager Of the international
Harvester company, regarding the
conversation the two men had In Chi
cago shortly after Mr.. Lorimer's ssec-
ton. Mr.. Funk had testified that Mr..
Hines asked him then for a $4,000
gift to the 100000 Lorimer campaign
fund. Mr.. Hines testified that Mr..
Funk asked for an introduction to the
new senator, and for the privilege OF
contributing to his election expenses.
Mr. Hines also contradicted testi-
mony given by Writ H. Cook Of
Duluth, MINI. He denied having tele-
phoned from Mr. Cocks room in q
Chicago hotel, May 26, 1909, that he
would be down to Springfield on the
next train with all the money needed
In the Lorimer election. He denied
also that he said In conversation
with Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Turkish about
May /, 1909, that he had elected "old
Stephenson" or that. the southern
Democrats in congress would not
stay put" on the lumber question,
or that he had 1t all "nxed" to elect
Iorinnar IN tho aAuatA
Mr.. Hines put into the record
copies of the kilograms sent to him
by Senator Lorimer since the latter's
election with the exception of one
which he said he never received. With
these he inserted q copy Of a maya
zine article In which 1t was asserted
the kilograms would throw light on
the election. The kilograms referred
to tariff and river and harbor legisla-
ton and contained no reference to the
election. He told the committee that
all his personal checks and those OF
the companies with which he was
connected were open to Its inspection.

LARGE FARMS INCREASING.

The census OF 1910 shows that our
neighboring state of Kansas has
fourteen thousand farms of more
than five hundred acres each. Ten
years ago the number was ten per
cent less. Such tendency to an en-
larged acreage can but be Viewed
with alarm. The best citizen Of any
country is the one who owns his
own home, and preferably home
upon a plot of land from which a
living may be cleaned, Whenever
a landlord and tenant system is es-
tablished the people who own the
country residing in town, and those
residing in the country owning moth
ing, the nation is on the high road
to patriotic penury, says the Indian
School Journal. The necessity for
the ownership of a home should rest
heavily on the mind Of every citizen
Of the country. Large farms are
neither necessary nor particularly
desirable, but perfect independence
is inseparably connected with the
ownership of a place from which
eviction is impossible.

he would forward the information to

whether they would appear. Attorney

the states authority to consider the

Smaller Children.
