Washington, Feb. 6.-The defense of
Senator C1llom, Of Illinois, formed a
striking part of the address today ky
Senator Burton, Of Ohio. ili opposition
to the report OF ths committee on
privileges ard elections by which i.ort.
mer was eEonerated. Reference to
Cullom was brought out by the speect.
OF Senator Bailey last Friday when he
said the means used to elect I,oriner
were the same as had been EMPLOYED
in the election of Culiom.
Burton explained that Cullom was
nominated in the primary by 10000
majority, and it would be most unjust
to him to compare the circumstances
under which he was chosen with the
corrupt and dishonest methods prev
alent in the legislature Of 1909. Sum
ming up his conclusions, Burton found
that it was perfectly evident that fraud
was so rampant and dishonesty SO
widespread in the Lorimer election
that it was impossible to separate the
sound votes from the unsound, and
that possibly as many as thirty cast
their votes under the influence of
bribery and dishonesty"

PEAR TO ARGUE AGAINST ANY
REDUCTION.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The manufac-
turers of print paper faced a fire of
questions today when they appeared
before the ways and means COMMITTEES
OF the house to argue in favor of re-
tentfon of the present duty rather than
any reduction as proposed by the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
Both Republican and Democratic
members inquired why the decrease in
duty was feared when a reduction
eighteen months ago had been fol-
lowed by an increase in the price of
paper rather than by a decrease and
the general reply was that the increase
had been a mere return to the normal
prices after the low prices incident to
the tariff agitation.

One Too Many.-The following is
told at the expense of a New York
literary man, into whose family fifth
child came last summer.
The family were at their country
house in the north of the state, and
for a time much of the care of the
other four children devolved upon
the father, who entertains some
Spartan notions touching the rearing
of his sons.
One morning he carried his three
year-old to the creek near his home,
to give him a cold plunge. The lad
objected vigorously to this proceed
ing, but was firmly held and ducked,
despite his protests.
Just as the father was sending in
the youngster for the second time, a
powerful hand stayed him, and he
found himself in the grasp Of a big
farmer, a neighbor of his, who began
to roar in this wise:
None O. that! None O. that, or I'll
hand you over to the law!"
1t consumed the better part of half
an hour to convince the farmer that
no attempt was made to drown the
child. Even at the end, the brawney
t!Iler Of the soil was not entirely con-
vinced, for he kept shaking his hand
doubtfully and murmuring:
IT dunno about that, 1 dunno. You
got four besides this"
