 They were not very dangerous. be- cause they owned themselves. Even when they held their seats in the senate it was at least possible that they would act in freedom. It was pos sible that they would think and vote tn accord with the sentiment of their states and for the general welfare of the country.
 But Lorimer-if the charges are true-does not own himself He can not act either for his state or for his country He must act for the men who own him. the men and interests that put him in the senate as their private servant.
 His continuance in the senate is therefore. a pollution of the very source of power in this country.
 By the imperative law of self-preser- vation the people are bound to pre- s this issue to the end.

The difficulty of enforcing state wide prohibition seems to be attcsted by the fact that it exists now in only eight states. and that of those two arr attempting to repeal it.
 Moreover. with the exception of Maine. an are irving the experiment for the first time. In the column are North Carolina. Georgia. Tennessee oklahoma. Mississippi. Kansas and North Dakota Maine went "wet" at the last election after having tried prohibition since 1858 New York passed prohibitory laws in 1854. and after two years trial gave up the ex- pertinent as hopeless of enforcement.
 The trials in other states show that did not prohibit, neverthe- less the experiments in the present dry states are being watched with interst by temperance advocates.

The Senate must expel L"rimer be- cause. by all the evidence. he is a mort gagged man Because his place was bought for hrm--not with his own money, but by the money of commer- cial masters. under agreement that he. Was to be their senator.
 Thus everything he touches in the Senate is smearrd by the tain of hribs money. Every thought. every act every vote of Lorimer is a thought. an act vote. not for the country. not for the state of Illinois but for those who bought the Lorimer seat. paid cash for il. and now insist that it shall be used and occupied to exalt the power Of privilege and to pervert the power of the government and the fortunes of the people
 This Lorimer case is new, a wholly unprecedented case-so far as the Senate is concerned eyer in it's his tory has clear evidence been shown concerning any Senator. that he was a purchased tool of other men
 In two well-rememhered instances of Investigation by the Senate into charges that a senator had obtained his seat by corruption. the ofrense was Very grave in personal sense. hut the menace Ia the nation was not as great as the Lorimer ease. and for this reason:

 We have many examples where kings of finance have been driven to an early grave. when Cttacked with ordinary diseases. The mental strain is too great, they live too fast, for nature will allow just so much abuse then will quit

It Is probably safe to say that the freight shipped annually into the Alaska Yukon amounts to 30.000 tons says Alfred H. Brooks in his latest report and it costs over $2.5oo.ooO to land it at the steamboat ervl of naviga- tion. The hauling from the stcamboats to the mines costs another $2.5oo.ooo every year.

ARMY UNIFORMS

France has taken away from her soldiers the historic red uniforms tha, filled the civilian with jealousy and ha S substituted greenish gray material
 There will be no more shiny buttons and even the scabbards will be of cloth.
 In adopting this reform the repuh- lie hopes 10 make her soldiers more comfortable and less distinguishable ,o an enemy.
 Frances conclusion that the red cloth of her Zouaves was too hot a material has been lately proved by our own medical men after a years ex- periments in the Philippines into the relative heat-absorbing power of olive gray and khaki colored drilling
 Beneath the olive gray the tempera- ture under the direct rays of the sun ranged from los to Ie6 degrees. aI- though the atmospheric temperature was the same. Beneath the khaki drilling the temperature never rose above lOll degrees. usually below body temperature

VITAL STATISTICS.

Nowadays everything Is reduced to figures. Take heed of these statistics on that vital subject. "The Proposal of Marriage"
 \ German expert deduces that 3s per cen, of the suitors press the hands of their dear ones. q per cent end their proposal with an embrace. per cent kiss the hair, per cent the hand. Q per cent fall on their knees. 20 per cent shallow with nervousness before they speak. 10 per cent find themselves unable to utter a word. and per cent pop the question on one foot.
 So far so good. Now read the figures on the behavior of the lucky or unlucky women who have to put up with this kind of thing Sixty per cent sink helpless into the loved ones arms. 20 per cent blush and hide their faces. 1 Der cent swoon, per cent are amazed. l4 per cent gaze into the suitor's eyes and l per cent dash madly off to tell a girl friend
 These figures have the ear marks Of truth and show that the modern mans forswearing the old custom of wear ing out his knees and that so per cent Of our modern girls are the kind who might say This Is so sudden when wondering why il didn't happen before
