SEEKS INVESTIGATION,
Orr of Atchison Wants All State De-
partments Overhauled.

Orr of Atchison, introduced a con-
current resolution in the house this af-
ternoon that calls for an investigation
of all the departments of the state in
regard to the largely increased expend-
lures which it is alleged are far beyond
the proportion of the states increase
in population. The figures are given to
support the charge of extravaganza in
each of the departments
The resolution is especially directed
against the attorney generals office
and the fees secured from the enforce
ment OF the prohibitory law These
hgures show fee collections in Wyan-
dotte county alone under Jackson's man
Trickett to be $31,62S.
The resolution calls for an inyesfiga-
ton of the departments by a commit
Tee consisting of three members from
the senate and four from the house.
On motion to table the resolution
the vote was so to so.
1t was then voted to have 500 copies
later.

ton of Mr.. Lorimer can be sustained
is that no one was bribed by Browne
to vote for him. If Browne bribed
nobody, Lorimer knew it. If Browne
bribed anybody Lorimer knew it and
consented to it and thereby forfeited
all title to the office And when the
committee agrees that with four votes
bribed by Browne Lorimer's election
is still valid the conclusion must fail,
puted evidence of Browne as we'll as
under all the other convincing circum-
stances and proof, it is obvious that
Lorimer knew all that Browne did.
Betrayal of Trust.
There is no escape from this con-
clusion. A legislature composed of
men chosen by their neighbors to act
for them as legislators under oath to
discharge a public trust with honor
forgot and betrayed that trust. The
betrayal was on a wholesale scale and
after the legislature had been dead
locked for nearly five months 1t was
out of reason if not impossible, for an
honest election of anybody to result.
The silent and iron hand behind the
scenes knowing all that was being
done for him by his agents and con-
senting to, if not directing their every
act, was Mr.. Lorimer himself. Such
is the story of this record and such
should be the verdict of the senate
So serious did Mr.. Brown consider the
questions involved in the Lorimer case
ment in it was ''likely to mean and
ought to mean eventually the end of
the senate He asserted further that
the Lorimer election TELLS a story of
shame and ignominy unparalleled in
the history of legislation

END OF HOT AIR.
No Longer an Element of Sue
cessful Advertising.
Norris Gould, Now of New York,
Says So.
GIVE ONLY THE FACTS.
Important That Advertising
Should Be Truthful.
Should Always Appeal to Human
Nature.
GIVE ONLY THE FACTS,

Most of the members of the Kansas
society in New York. declared M. P.
Gould. head of the M. P. Gould Adver-
Using company, in the course an adj
dress this noon before a rousing meet
ing of the Topeka Ad club, "are proba-
bly, moderate drinkers, but ever since
the club was formed we have felt out
of respect for the Kansas laws that Ii
Quor should not be served at the meet
ings."
Mr.. Gould is a graduate of Wash
burn college and at one time was a
State Journal carrier. He is one of the
good in the east. He is one of the ex-
lie Kansans," said Col. F. S. Savage
who introduced him to the members of
the Ad club. His education was start
ed at Washburn college and ended up
with the Topeka State Journal"
To get right down to the point his
talk on retail advertising was a good
one. In fact it was unanimously voted
by the members present that 1t was the
best address on the subject which the
club has yet enjoyed.
He was also introduced as being an
expert in advertising, but, There are
no experts in advertising" were his
first words. when man comes to you
and says he is an expert you want to
look out for him.
one OIL the great dQVdHCO IlON6-
ments of advertising is along the line
of giving facts. The old hot air style
of advertising Is dead.
advertising really began in this
country but thirty-five years ago.
Thirty million dollars year is spent
on billboard advertising; s4o,o0o,oo0
on advertising in farm and agricultural
journals; $60,0OO.000 in magazines;
67,0OO.OOQ in weekly papers; $242,-
100000 in daily newspapers. Accord
ing to Printers Ink, eight or nine
hundred million dollars is now spent in
advertising in single year in this
country.
There has been great waste. and
have spent much time in investigat-
ing along the line of ascertaining
wherein lies the waste.
ST picked up a copy of the State
Journal last night and looked
through the advertising, which I con-
slider above the average for city of
the size of Topeka, but if 1 were to
go through it with you 1 think you
would say that much of the advertising
was dead. That is, there was no inter
esting feature that would appeal to
the women, for the women it is who
do most of the buying for the homes.
'When you sit dawn and talk. you
gossip In advertising chat counts
It is the accumulation of what you say
that makes the deep impression. If
at the end OF nVe years the CITY hHo"o
you favorably and thinks you are
bright, then you can consider that
yours has been good advertising.
advertising is something that has
to do with human nature. I think it
is one of the fundamentals of retail
advertising that we should put into our
advertising the news feature.
Concentration in advertising is an
other thing that counts. There are
several ways of making your point
and one is to pay for position in the
paper"
Ewing Herbert and Lynn Bloom also
made short talks.

SWEEPING REFORMS.
Recommended by New York Legisla-
tive Investigating Committee.

Albany, N Y, Feb. 1.-The enact
ment of a drastic corrupt practices act
with a maximum penalty of ten years
imprisonment and $1,000 fine for the
failure of legislator to report imme-
diately any attempt to buy, or inf1u-
ence his vote and the adoption of re-
forms in the fire insurance laws of the
state are recommended in lengthy
report of the legislative investigating
committee submitted to the legislature
today.
Drafts of bills which the committee
propose shall be enacted into law are
included in the report. The proposed
reforms inculed placing of rate making
associations, including the New York
hre insurance exchange, under con-
troll and supervision of the state super
intendent of insurance.
Vesting superintendent with ample
power to prevent discrimination in
rates.
Enactment of anti-rebate law. pro-
hibiting sharing or splitting" of pre-
miumS, and making it miSdemeanor
to give or accept rebates.
The investigation committee was ap-
pointed by the senate and assembly of
1910 to investigate corrupt practices
and insurance, other than life insur-
ance. 1t is composed of members of
both bodies.
In probing corrupt practices in con-
nection with legislation, the committee
according to the report investigated
alleged bride giving brought to the
surface in Investigations conducted in
1910 by the senate and the state
superintendent of insurance and GER
tain other allegations. These allega-
| tions the report says were made in
connection with the payment by the
state of a beet sugar bounty, the pass
age of the anti-race track gambling
law and of amendments to the agri-
cultural law with reference to milk.
The committee found abundant evil
dence of graft. In the beet sugar
bounty case, however, the committee
rejects the testimony of Harry F. Zim-
merlin, who swore that he had paid
$4,000 to a senator and $1,000 to an
assemblyman, both of whom are now
dead, for their votes in favor of leg
islation favoring Zimmerlin's employ
ers, the Lyons Beet Sugar Refining
company.
The report says: 1.-THE committee is
impressed with the significance of the
fact that each of the legislators to
whom it is alleged payment was made
is dead and unable to face his accuser.
In the absence of .corroborative evil
dence, and in view of the appearance
of the witness, Zimmerlin, on the
stand, his manner of testifying and his
very apparent confusion of mind, the
committee can not conclude or report
that these payments were made to the
members alleged

HIS PLAIN TALK.
Senator Brown Charges That
LOrimer Knew of Bribery.
BY Means of Which Election to
Senate Was Procured.

Washington, Feb. THAT Senator
William Lorimer of Illinois had full
knowledge of the bribery by which. il
is charged, his election was procured
was asserted by Senator Norris Brown
of Nebraska, in a speech in the senate
today. This was a step in advance OF
any that had been taken on the sub
ject and if accepted would result in Mr..
Lerimer's expulsion. - ~.
Mr.. Browns reference to the Lori
mer case was incidental to discussion
of the resolution providing for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
Declaring consideration of the Lori
mer case to be essential to a proper
discussion Of the election situation, Mr..
Brown undertook to show the rela-
tions between Mr.. Lorimer and State
Representative Lee O'Neill Browne
had been such as to render it certain
that Lorimer had been positively ad-
Vised as to Brownies operation in Lori
mers behalf.
To this end the senator undertook
to show that the support of Browne
and his thirty Democrat followers had
been procured through Speaker
Shurtleff, the roommate and warm
friend of Mr.. Lorimer, and that after
Lorimer and Browne had been brought
together they were in constant con-
ference, meeting as often as a dozen
times in one evening.
What were those conferences ?''
asked Mr.. Brown. Making reply to his
own inquiry, he said
Every senator here knows that
they related to the ways and means
necessary to win votes for Lorimer.
On no rational theory can anybody
conclude that Lorimer was unadVised
by Browne of anything that Browne
did for him and whatever Browne did
xVhafaNar 6iAo11Ifiae
countered in his canvass for support
among his followers for Mr.. Lorimer
must have been made known to him
at these conferences and independent
~ of any direct testimony on that
question. 1t must be concluded in ali
good reason and conscience that
Browne concealed nothing from Lori
mer and that Browne did nothing to
further the election of Lorimer that
Lorimer did not know about at the
time. This construction is supported
by every undisputed circumstance
surrounding the transaction.
Brownies Admission.
quoting then Brownies admission
that he did make reports to Lorimer
Mr.. Brown commented:
Browne was making his report tc
his chief and it is utterly unbelieva BILE
that he kept from Mr.. Lorimer the
information about the bribery of Recl
meyer, White, Linke and Holstlaw
Lorimer is bound by the testimony Of
this witness, the senate is bound b,
it. 1t has a compelling force that car
not be resisted in the light of this rec,
ord and when it is established in the
proof that Lorimer knew what Brown,
was doing, it is established that tn,

FINDS NEW KIDNEY CURE
Dr.. 7. Frank Lynott, New York Specialist.
Discovers Remarkable Remedy.

At last perfectly harmless and
positive cure appears to have been
found. Dr. T. Frank Lynott. formerly
of the University City of New York
and the famous Bellevue Hospital,
New York City, but now a celebrated
specialist in Chicago, has a very sim
pie, quick-acting formula which has
already been approved by the best doc
tors.
Last night DIR. Lynott read paper
on the treatment of kidney troubles
that proved revelation to those pres
ent. DIR. Lynott was highly praised
for his deeply interesting paper, but
is liable to criticism for allowing his
new treatment to be advertised, espec-
tally as he was advertising free
treatment on an Introductory offer.
DR. Lynott, however. explained that
this free treatment offer was not so
much for patients in the big cities as
for the people in villages and country
DOCTORS Many of these country doc
tors, Dr. Lynott explained, were not
posted on up-to-date methods of cure,
and in fact were jealous of the more
educated physicians in cities; so to
make quick work of introducing the
treatment that the BEST doctors must
recognize as the proper remedy for kid
ney trouble, he had decided to offer 1t
free for the time being to people in
the country. DR.. Lynott said that the
free treatments would not be continued
indefinitely.
