Iorimer Retains His Seat.

The United States Senate, Wednes-
day. by a vote Of IL to 40, sustained
I.orimer's title to a seat in the Sen
ale. thus defeating the Beveridge
resolution.
1t has been "A bitter fight, involving
charccs of bribery against member
nf the highest legislative body in the
country, and counter charges Of con-
Spiracy to ruin good mans charae-
ter. We have refraned from enter
ing the discussion OF a mans honor
which has been so freely handled ny
,ditors whose reliable Information Il
no more complete than our own. We
have felt that we did not and could
not understand all the ins and outs el
such intricate political jobbcry as
must have existed on ono side or the
ether
1t is easier, much easier to tear
down than to build up reputation.

character. If Lorimer is innocent
hanging is none too severe a penalty
for his prosecutors. If he is guilty
ne is lower than the sneak thief and
iS a constant menace TO the public so
long as he remains in public service.
OF this We dare not judge, or do
other than give the news and presume
that the Senate, after hearing the
charges and defense in detail. has
reached just decision. Were il
possible to discover. it would be in
terestng to know what part the
Illinois senator's eloquent presenta-
ton OF his own case played in the
decision. In hours of direct appeal
against Il verdict that would ruin him
and Danish him from public service,

What Constitutes Success?
! Tuesday evening, an Augusta gentle
man entertained friend from Somcr-

a man Of intelligence. of strong mind
ana rugged honesty. He is man who

| affairs Of his town, his state and the
! nation. He not only thinks but be
| acts. and performs both sanclN ana
| with understanding. In his present
visit to the Legislature. he remarks
upon the TYPE of men whom he finds
| taerc. as well as upon the character OF
| the legislation attempted, and tho ap-
parent aims and notable degrees or
success which some well-known MEM
| bers have attained. With tho clear
ness which a level headed farmer often
analyzes public questions. because nf
| having opportunity to concentrate his
minG upon such things at the same
time he is performing his manual Ia
hor. this gentleman expressed his ideas
as t. the meaning of the word sue
cess"
To this man who has wrought all
that he has OF this worlds goods by
hard daily struggle with the duties OF
Maine farm life. success does not mean
the production of an array Of dollars.
He takes a broader view OF it than
that, and does not agree with the cpl
gram Hitch your wagon 10 a star"
ror does he believe in the advantages
of "preconcciyed ideals to an extent
that would lead a young man through
the discouragements that must con-
front ono who believes he has an in
spiration that will reap fame or wealth
if lie sticks to his ideals He says:
"A fellow can work like everything
on an inspiration until he reaches the
prime OF life, and then discover that it
is utterly impossible. II he throws II
up at such a time. he has conceded
defeat and has really wasted all the
years which he has devoted to an ac-
compiishment OF his original aim. II
he goes ahead satisfied that he has
done his best and that which was
right, he will have the satisfaction Of a
clear conscience. and Will have al
tanned something in the way of success
because he has found contentment.
The time and application and the en-
thusiasm which he has given to his
ideal have not been thrown away. He
has probably formed loftier habits of
thought, and if he has been steadfast
in his vision. at the age of forty he
should have won a spiritual fortune of
which even material disappointment
cannot rob him.
The danger in "hitching ones wagon

CUT OFF O'sULLIVAN's BEARD.
So Courts Order Follows. Unto a
Cell With Them"

Paul Felix, former mayor of Ken
ner, La, and w. w. Stiles, former
deputy sheriff of Jefferson parish,
have been taken to the st. James
parish Jail to begin the service of
sentences of six and eleven months,
respectively, for alleged violation of
the federal election laws. Thus ends
one of the most unusual criminal
cases ever tried in Louisiana.
1t was alleged that Felix and
Stiles, Directing to the activity in
the congressional election of 1908 of
Col. E. A. O'Sullivan, a well-known
attorney, assaulted him and cut off
his beard. The two were convicted
of violating the election laws in in
terfering with a voter in the exercise
of his franchise privileges. In addi-
ton to the prison sentences the de-
PENDANTS were fined $1,000 each.

mendation that the restaurant is ex-
clusively for the use of white per-
sons.
Colored persons have patronized
the restaurant occasionally in the
past, using that portion set aside
for the public, but never trespassing
upon the dining rooms of the mem
bers themselves. The Roddenbery
plan, however, contemplates that no
colored person may use any part of
the restaurant.
If the two propositions advanced
by southern members finally come
before the house it is believed that
they will engender considerable feel
ing and that the problem may prove
an embarrassing one for the house.
While negroes rarely ever make
themselves obnoxious in the restau-
rants at the capitol the very fact
that they are given the same privi-
leges as white persons, if they choose
to exercise them, is wrong, in the
opinion of Mr.. Roddenbery
