Concluding with the presentation Of his
resolution declaring the election of Mr..
Lorimer invalid. Senator Owen said:
81 should be glad to positively know
that Mr.. Lorimer was merely The victim
OF superserviceable friends; that their
use OF money and corrupt practices was
not known to him and not approved by
him. I am glad to say that with the eA-
ception OF the evidence Of Sheppard. Sen

these corrupt practices In not asserted ~

mittee, and I am glad to record the fact
that no evidence appeared. except In the
Sheppard case, directly Involving MI
have denied the Sheppard charge, how
ever. II the Sheppard direct charge
against Mr.. LOrimer were the only record
Of wrongdoing. Sheppard being otherwise
unwoethy OF belief. / should remain 81
lent I believe. however. that there was
wholesale corruption and bribery used In
procuring the election OF Mr.. Lorimer.
and that Il has been abundantly proven.
and that the effort to break down the
dence above cited by rebuttal has failed.
Would Lower Dignity OF Senate.
Il believe If Mr.. Lorimer should retain
his seat under these painful circum-
stances it would lower the United States
Senate in the esteem Of the American peo-
Pile. l believe the time has come when
the American people will approve stern
measures in dealing with bribery and
with corrupt conduct in public affairs. and
7 think II better for all the people that
there should be an end made to the cleo
ton OF senators by the sinister CONNER
cial forces Of the republic.
''In view OF the fact that many seats
In the United States Senate are about to
be determined In various legislatures. IL
Is Of the highest Importance that the
Senate OF the United States should give
the country to understand that the cleo
ton Of senators shall be absolutely free
from bribery or corrupt practice"

Difficult to Expose Conspiracy.

I'm my judgment the attempt TO rebut
and break donw the force OF these con
LESSONS failed. 1t is extremely Difficult,
to expose conspiracy where every man
concerned has a powerful interest to
conceal his own wrongdoing."
Senator Owen paid his compliments 10
the election system OF Illinois in answer
ing the claim that Leo O'Neill Browne
has been INDICATED for voting for Mr.
Lorimer by being reelected to the Illinois
legislature.
I'm my judgment this is no proof OF
vindication," he said I'm the presence OF
the evident bipartisan system of corrup-
ton In Illinois, where votes can be easily
bought under a defective form of corrupt
practices act, which permits ~ easy eva
sion II q man has behi..a him large
capital interested in his yindication, vindi-
cation Is easy"
His compliments were also paid to the
democrats who voted for Mr.. Lorimer, In
the following language:
1T should be remembered that fifty
three OF the votes for Mr.. Lorimer were
democratic votes, instructed by the unani
Illinois to stand for Mr.. stringer. They
abandoned Mr.. Stringer. the democrat.
and suddenly at a given moment solidlN
supported Mr.. Lorimer, the republican.
1t does not seem the simple exercise OF
honest personal Judgment on the fitness
of candidates. OF the $40 republican
members voting Mr. Lorimer only receiv-
ed fifty-nve. about q third, showing that
as a candidate of the republican party he
was not acceptable to the republican
members OF the legislature, and. not hav-
ing been a candidate at all In the prims-
ries. he had no popular vote whatever to
support his candidacy. Under all the cir
curnstances / do not think he really rep
resents the will Of the people OF Illinois.
II the people Of Illinois want him, and
viii give him popular approval In the
primary. I think he will then be entitled
to q seat in the Senate; otherwise not.
He should seek vindication In his own
state"

SAYS GRAY HAIR
is GODS REVENGE

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 81
Gods way OF getting back at those
who thought they had the laugh on
him." is the way the Rev. DR.. Herbert
S. Johnson of the Warren Avenue
Baptist Church, explains premature
grayness.
DR.. Johnson says furthermore. .
young sinners think they can get
away with their sin. but God gets
them somehow or other. One of his
favorite methods is to inflict upon
them premature old age.
1T is not hard work that makes a
man gray before his time. II is
sometimes worry and fretting. But II
is most often sin. In the cases OF
prematurely gray women It is almost
always a sign of sin.
There are many young women
walking in the streets of our city with
lives stepped in sin and old age fast
coming on as an indication of it,

NOT ILLEGAL TO
SELL CURE ALLS
Supreme Court InterpretS
Pure Food
Law

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Medicine
which is nothing but sweetened water
or pills composed Of colored mud may
be labeled cures" and sold as such
with impunity under the National
Pure Food and Drugs Act, according
to a decision rendered by the United
States Supreme Court in the case
of DR.. o. A. johnson, of Kansas City,
Mo. Provided there is no misstate-
ment on the bottle or package as to its
contents, the manufacturer is free TO
sell his goods. Justice Holmes an
nounced the majority opinion. Justice
Hughes delivering a dissenting opin-
ion, in which Justices Harlan and
Day concurred.
The court acknowledged that Gin a
certain sense the statement on the
label was false, or, at least, mislead-
ing" but it held that the language
of the Pure Food law is such that the
statement contained therein as to the
meaning of misbranding "is aimed
not at all possible false statements
but only at such as determine the
identity of the article. possibly in
cluding its strength, quality and pur.
ity."
If a label were to state that the
contents of a bottle was water when
as a matter of fact. it was other thar
water, Il would come under the mis-
branding in the meaning of the Law
according TO the opinion. But the
opinion adds that when the statement
on the box or bottle of medicine Il
shown to be false only in its com
mandatory and prophetic aspect
when the contents were "undescrib
ed and unknown" it did not com'
within the act.
In the arguments before the Su
preme Court, the Government ad
mitted that the construction it pu
upon the law would probably breal
up the patent medicine business II

son, it was contended that If the Gov

Bravely floating on the ample
bosom Of the Delaware river bobbing
in salute as the ripples Of water toss
them up and down. are numberless

Here and there, eddying as the

Some of the floral boats we're seen

At the ceremonies in Philadelphia
the Rev. Robert A. Ellwood, of At

chaplain of the United Spanish War

newed enthusiasm by a reference to
the reunited country which faced the
world in 1898.

devotion go out TO the men of Lex

Cured BY inexpensive Treatment.

OuTeO Dg lutApenniNe lTehtmeHls
When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that it
is necessary to use some disgusting
greasy ointment. Try Hokara, a pure
and simple skin food that is guaran-
teed to contain no grease or acids and
which is so cleanly it does not soil
the linen.
Not only are minor skin troubles
nike pimples, blackheads. acne, bar
Der's itch, ETC., quickly cured, but the
worst ulcers or cases of salt rheum
I or eczema are cleansed and healed by
this wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try
Hokara at small expense N. B. Dan
forth is selling a liberal sized jar AT
25c and in addition guarantee to re-
fund the money if the treatment does
not do all that is claimed for it.
Larger size 80 cents.
