The editor has been guyed good
deal since last weeks editorial in
which he urged the Sergeant to have
up the people who allowed their cows
to run at large, and that the ordi-
nance should be observed. Before the
editorial was scarcely finished the
editor was notified by the Sergeant
that his horse was in the pen, and to
come and get her out, and bring
along about SOC. All right. But il
occurs to us that the Sergeant need
not be quite so particular about
horses. Go for the cows.

to be known that the men asked the
management to let them off and then
stated, according to The News and
Courier correspondents information,
that they would take the holiday any

That it hurt some people to know
that the mill men were SO anxious to
hear Gov. Blease was another matter
with which this correspondent was
not concerned.
Newspaper men, other than those
who are biased, will understand the
situation. that correspondent is only

wish to publish an article he writes,
the correspondents responsibility as
to the matter ceases. The sooner the
public learns the distinction between
the editorial and the news columns,
the sooner will the work of the higher
newspapers be generally understood.
So that in the Ware Shoals matter,
1nis correspondent was solely inter
ested in the item from news stand
point. He was not surprised that
tain papers tried to make political
capital out of the incident, but sure
ly- the public will now see through
the matter. The letter of Mr.. Taylor
quoted above. certainly nails the ef-
forts of critics to discredit the arti-

The News and Courier ccrrespon-

the actual situation at Ware Shoals,
as to what the men did, or did not,
at the time Governor Blease was to
speak there.

AVIATOR PREVENTS ACCIDENT.
Wrecked His Machine to Keep From
Hitting the Spectators.

Aviator Anthony Janus lies at
St. Luke's hospital at Bristol, Tenn,
in a critical condition as a result
of a sacrifice he made Wednesday
afternoon to prevent the probable
wholesale manning of spectators.
Janus is suffering from dislocat-
ed shoulder, broken collar bone and
probable internal injuries. Just after
he had stared the fight the crowd OF
spectators focked to the knoll which
had been selected for landing place
and when Janus steered for the
landing place, he found 1t covered
with people.
He was flying too low to rise over
them and rather than continue Oh
straight ahead at his great speed the
daring aviator turned the nose OF
his machine into nearby bank. The
machine, a big passenger carrying
aeroplane, was total wreck.

to investigate the laws and conditions

A prepared paper on Porto Rico
and the Porto Ricans," was to have
been read to the Convention by
Judge Judd, but he stated that he
could not read it, as the authorities
at Washington had asked him not to
give it to the public, asserting it
would cause embarrassing diplomatic

Judge Judd expressed the opinion
that if the Monroe doctrine was ad-

viii Go to Mexico City.

A dispatch from Juarez, Mexico,
says advices to the rebels is to the
effect that President Diaz resigned
Wednesday, but it IS not expected
that the Mexican Congress will ac-
cept it before Saturday, and Francis

not planning to start for Mexico
City before Sunday.
Senor Madero is just beginning to
realize the strength of the revolu-
tionary movement which he created.
A constant stream of kilograms has
been pouring in at his headquarters
within the last few days congratu-
lating him on the success of the
revolution, and assuring him that
thousands of men are at his disposal,

AS the telgrams are from all parts
of Mexico. including the southern and
central sections. it is becoming more
and more apparent that Madero need
fear little from a counter revolution
ary movement Such talk again was
in the air. coupled with rumors Of
plots by the "Cientifico' element in
Mexico City and the possibility OF
mishap to the Madero train when it
starts southward.

should take at least 200 armed men
with him. but the rebel leader him.

have but civilian escort. A pilot
locomotive, it is reported, will pro-
ceed kilometre or two ahead OF
the Madero train to scout for dyna-
mite bombs or other impediment.
An evidence that Madero already
is working in close harmony with the
Provisional President. Senior De La
Barra. is the frequent exchange OF
messages that occurred Tuesday.
Senior Madero Wednesday was advis-
ed for instance. that an attack on
Hermcsillo was contemplated.
The large army. which has been
accumulated under Madero since the
revolution began. instead of being re-
garded as involving future danger OF
anarchy. is rapidly being reviewed
in another light by conservative lead
ers. They look with satisfaction up
on the army once undiscipl!ned, now
much better drilled and we'll clad and
equipped than the regular Mexican
troops. 1t is thought new army
may be organized.

Want to whitewash Him Again.

It is plain that the friends Of Sen
ator Lorimer in the United States
Senate are trying hard to get his
case in the hands of a whitewash
committee should it be reopened.
which now seems inevitable. In
the fact of the overwhelming public
opinion it is hardly likely that any
considerable number Of senator's
would oppose the reopening Of the
case. That feature of the matter
seems to be settled. Even Lorimer's
friends sees that he must be inyesti-
gated by the Senate again.
His standpat supporters in both
parties want the investigation to be
conducted by his friends. They want
him committed again to the tender
mercies of the committee on priv
ileges and elections. The committee
is composed of Senators Dillingham;,
Gamble, Hepburn, Clapp, Sutherland,
Bradley, Jones, Oliver and Kenyon,
republicans; Bailey, Paynter, John
ston, Fletcher. Kern and Lee, demo-
Gratis. Of this number, Dillingham;,
Gamble, Hepburn, Sutherland, Brad
ley, Jones Oliver, Bailey, Paynter,
Johnson and Fletcher are standpat-
ters. friendly to Lorimer. Clapp.
Kenyon, Kern and Lea are progress
sives.
The LaFollette resolution which is
now up for consideration in the SEN
ate, names a special committee,
Works of California. Mclean Of Con-
necticut. Townsend of Michigan,
Kern Of Indiana and Pomerene OF
Ohio. One progressive Republican
and two standpatters, and two Dem
ocrats. MIR. LaFollette urges the ne
cessity of a committee of new mem
bers because the old members have
all voted on the question and are
on record either as Lorimer parts
ans or in favor of ousting him.
If the resolution IS sent to the
committee on privileges and elections
and it appears likely that it will
be because it will. receive the support
Of reactionary democrats and republi-
cans alike-Mr. Lorimer will be IN
vestigated by a friendly committee.
That is the meaning Of the contest
now before the senate. The Spar
tanburg Journal says in addition to
the case being tried by committee
of Lorimer supporters, vote to send
it to the committee on privileges and
elections will mean. in all probability
the delaying Of action in the case un-
til late into the regular session next
winter, while the progressiyes are
urging a speedy investigation and an
early vote.

investigation and Again Attacks
Lorimer in a Caustic Manner.

In the Senate Tuesday before Mr.
La Toilette resumed his red hot
speech attacking Lorimer, Senator
Bristow made the first set speech in
behalf of the resolution Of Senator
Borah for direct election of Senators.
Senator Martin. the minority lead
er, introduced a resolution to refer
the Lorimer case to the committee on
privileges and elections, with a re-
quest that it investigate the new evi-
dence thoroughly and pay special at
tention to the story that Jack
pot" fund was raised to help Lori
mer.
| The Martin resolution is under
stood to represent the views OF the
majority of the Democratic steering
committee, which is against letting
Mr.. La Toilette run the whole thing.
Mr.. La Toilette reviewed the re-
cent proceedings of the Illinois Leg
islature relative to the Lorlmer
case. He said he was convinced that
there was still more testimony to
be adduced. He was sure that pub
lie opinion was right in this case. In
declaring that he wanted the Senate
to view itself in the mirrow OF such
opinion, he held aloft huge col
lection of newspaper. clippings con-
demning the Senate's decision in the
case.
Mr.. LaFollette quoted the Senate's
action in the case in an effort to JUS
tify the demand for a reopen1ng. con-
tending that the Senate, as well as
other tribunals, should exerrise the
privilege of reviewing its own pro
ceedings.
He presented transcript Of the
Illinois Legislatures record in the
case. He read from the testimony OF
Mr.. Kohlsaat, OF Chicago, regarding
the 100000 Jackpot fund. He
contended that many statements
made by Witness Hines would be
proven if the Senate reopens the case
Senator Martins resolution goes
farther than the La Toilette bill as
probe into the I,nrimer case. The
