sOBs AND SLAMS FOR LOR1MER.


Chicago News Irrespective Of the SEN
ate's Lorimer verdict the members OF that
body should be elected directly by the peo-
pie without any disreputable deadlockins
of state legislatures.
St. Louis Times: The mere fact that
LorImer cannot be touched by the law is
but a reed for him to employ as a support
He has not come before the body OF sens
tors with a clean face and a good be-
havior certificate. and he should be Sent
back home. The senate may accept Lori
mer; but Illinois and the country repudiates
him.
Houston, CTex.) Post: Considering where
he halls from, we cannot believe very
strongly in Lorimer's Hpotless chastity, but
as a matter Of law we believe he is en-
titled to his seat. and as a matter Of es-
tablishinG a dangerous precedent we be-
lieve 1t would be lmpollte to unssat him.
Senator Bailey Is as right as he is courag-
eous In his battle to confirm Lorimer But,
personally, IL Lorimer ever approaches our
neighbOrhood we shall light smudge
Washington Times; Let that prediction
be marked and recorded The public may
not be able to follow the mathematical
computations or the delicate legal distinc-
tions OF Senator Bailey, but It knows what
It wants, and ~ surely as Lorimer shall be
given new title to his seat. 80 surely will
an outraged public sentiment protest the
men who have made his victory possible
That Is why, In a broad. philosophical
view 1t is possible to find much consolation
in the thought OF Lorimer winning. Lori
mer would indeed stay with us. but about
ten OF his supporters would be lost and
that would be some consolation.

Premature Alarm.

Both Senator Hale and the Pacific
coast critics of the proposed Japan
treaty seem to have had their fears
allayed that this nation was about to
thrust its head into q lions jaws by
signing the proposed compact. Evil
IDENTIFY they were prematureiy alarmed
for the instrument is purely for trade
purposes and does not affect immigra-
ton. II is to the credit of those who at
tackled the proposition, however, that
they came so early to discover their
error and subsidized, so that it is pos
sible to consider the treaty on its
merits.
II the president and the State de-
pRrtment are satisfied to accept
Japan's pledge to restrict it's coolie
emigrants ana feel safe in promulgat-
ing a measure for commercial inter-
course that does not refer to immigra-
tion, then no state can have any real
reason for fear. The administration has
dothing to gain by attempting to foist
upon the country, OF any part of it.,
conditions created by treaty or other
wise that would be unjust or grossly re-
pugnant to the coast states. The mat
ter of immigration has to be taken care
of, but not necessarily in a trade
treaty.
Senator Hales objections were not
based on any thought of immigration,
but rather on that Of tariff relations,
But he seems to have been entirely
convinced that this country is not put
ting itself to disadvantage with Japan
and therefore has withdrawn his
obstruction to consideration OF the
treaty. The United States seems to re-
quire some revising of conditions regu-
lating its trade with Japan The pro-
posal of a new treaty at this time APP
parently comes quite as much from us
as from Japan, It is possible to OBJ
scure the central fact of the whole
transaction by imagining that this is
scheme on the part Of the foreign
country to lure us into a compact en-
tirely for our neighbours benefit. The
State department and the executive
have no doubt looked out for and safe
guarded the United States interests.

THE "RnCALLL" IN ACTION.
Novel Feature of the Proposition Bx-
hIbited in California.

hibited in California.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
A curious illustration OF the recall idea
is noted in California. John ID. Works
received the nomination for United States
senator at the primary election and was
duly elected by the legislature in obedience
TO that expression of the popular will. But
since his election, although nominated ana
elected by the progressive element, he nas
taken a stand in opposition to the sugges
ton Of the more radical wing, who want
the recall applied to the judiciary as well
as legislative and administrative offices
This has incensed some of the recall advo-
Gates, and one. democrat, has proposed
that the legislature recall Works election
as senator because he is not willing to
swallow every panaeea proposed by the
people"
OF course. the suggestion is impraeticable
as well as preposterous. The legislature
having elected Works cannot undo that act.
But II it could this suggestion would mean
that he was to be recalled, not for any
act as senator Che has not yet taken his
seat. his term beginning March y, but for
an expression Of opinion on a purely state
issue as a citizen. II the recall Is to be
carried to the extent of attempting TO
make ell men think alike on every question
Il is not going to be long until IT in turn
Is recalled and reegated as a governmental
principle

Docking Absentee CoBgressmen.
philadelDhia Record.

There was a time when congressman
were locked their pay for every day they
were absent from duty, and that is still
the theory. The suggestion has been made
once or twice recently that this rule
should be enforced; but it has never
scared the members much; they are almost
a unit against anything so low and sordid
and degrading to their high dignity as
that. But as they set $500 year and
some extras and are in session rather
less than half OF each year on an average,
II does not seem entirely unreasonable to
impose some penalty upon them when
their absence stops the proceedings of the
house, wastes public money and imperils
important legislation.

That Gentlemen's Affair.

Had Representative Mondell been
the aggressor in his combat on the
floor of the house with Delegate Wick
ersham Of Alaska we might assume
that Wyoming was becoming a very
belligerent state, since the legislature
out there has but recently passed a
bill legalizing prize fighting, But, &C
cordlng to the veracious press dis
patches on the Washington fight,
Mr.. Wickersham opened hostilities.
THE big Alaskan's right arm shot out
twice in the direction OF the gentle
man from wyoming" but all the
blows fell short. It would not have
been a gentleman's affair had the
blows not fallen short. just the same
as a French duel The worst feature
of these congressional fisticufts has
never been the amount Of blood
spilled. Not even the fierce encounter
of the two South Carolina senator's
McLaurin and Tillman, some years
ago, caused much splitting Of blood.

precious to be wasted that way. In
