foundations may be laid for a bet
ter city In every particular. mere
has been much said of recent years
about "talking Perth Amboy;" but
we must first know Just what to talk
about. and exactly what we want
changed SO that we can talk about
those features OF which we now Ieei
a little ashamed.
And what a lot there Is to know!
We naturally should want to Know
all about u city politically-not SO
much who its various officials are by
| name, but what kind of men they
are. and what kind OF government
| they are giving us. How does our
police force compare with that OF
lcities of similar size7 What kind OF
service is rendered by u Excise
Board. our Health Board, our Water
Board, etc3 How we'll do our mayor,
our aldermen, our judges and other
chief officers serve us? And 30 far
as the federal government IL con-
/ cerned. how do our postofiee and
custom house appear when brought
Into comparison with those of other
places? Is 1t true, as n OF our
citizens. who has lived in half a
dozen other places. has stated, that
we have the worst postal service he
has ever lived under? Is 1t true
| that surrounding towns and cities
enjoy postal privileges that we are
told We may not have under the
rules and regulations OF the govern
ment7
And then socially. What is the
character of the various strands
that enter into our citizenship We
know we have many foreigners; but
who are they. and IN what proper
ton? What are the number and the
character OF ths various institutions
that are In III presence-lodges,
churches, and the ltkei Are any OF
them detrimental? Might n OF
them be improyed2 Is it true that

CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD: Truly,
Senator CANDLES liable" argument
in favor of Lorimer is calculated to
make veterans like Senator Frye be-
gin to despair of the republic,
Such fearful-wonderful arithmetic,
such straining of every point against
honor and decency, such utter dis
regard Of reasonable probability and
circumstantial evidence, such siren
Gus insistence On narrow and dem
toralizing presidents, cannot fail to
provoke amazement and alarm among
plain, honest, moral citizens.A
II there Is absolutely nothing in
our legislative history and established
procedure to justify a vote unseating
Mr.. Lorimer, then there is something
essentially wrong with our usage and
presidents then the time has come
to create a new precedent in harmony
with elementary decency and with
the usage, say, Of England.
There are able senators who do not
read the evidence as MI. Gamble
reads 1t. But, taking his view for
the sake of the argument, his con
clusion is literally appalling. It is a
conclusion repugnant to public senti-
The Senate cannot retain
rules that paralyze honesty and re-
ward corruption. The nation will
not tolerate tainted senatorships and
frigid, adamantine indifference to
fraud.

"PRAYER OF A HORSE"
To thee my master. I offer my
prayer:
Feed me, water and care for me,
and when the days work is done pro-
vide me with shelter. a clean, dry
bed, and a stall wide enough for me
to lie down In comfort. Talk to me.
Your voice often means as much to
me as the reins. Pet me sometimes,
that I may serve you the more gladly
and learn to love you. Do not jerk
the reins, and do not whip me when
going up hill. Never strike, beat or
kick me when I do not understand
what you mean, but give me a chance
to understand you. Watch me, and
If / fail to do your bidding see II
something is not wrong with my har-
ness or feet.
Examine my teeth when I do not
eat. / may have an liberated tooth,
and that, you know, Is very painful.
Do not tie my head in an unnatural
position, or take away my best de-
Tense against flies and mosquitoes by
cutting off my tail.
And finally, oh. my master, when
my useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze or
sell me to some cruel owner, to be
slowly tortured and starved to death.
But do thou, my master, take my
life In the kindest way, and your God
will reward you here and hereafter.
You may not consider me irreverent
II I ask this in the name OF Him, Who
was born In = stable. Amen.

CANDLES Defense.

~
WATERFOWL Public Opinion: South
Dakota's polished and Respondent
senator, in immaculate garb from his
dainty adjusted ravat to his we'll
polished shoes, appeared before the
senate of these United States yester-
day afternoon and permitted the
entire world to gaze in admiration
upon his handsome figure and stylish
attire, and incidentally to listen to
his defense of the Lorimer mess In
Illinois. If it were necessary to hold
ones nose, it was a great pleasure to
open ones eyes and feast upon the
s~artorial brilliance Of the senior solon
from this state.
Reading the arguments put forth
by Gamble in this defensive position
is like perusing a rehash OF the
arguments sent out some time ago by
the Milwaukee agents who insisted
that the buying of a few votes was
nothing, provided there were sufficient
unpurchased votes to have secured
the election in any event. There is a
parrot like sound to the senator's
reasoning, q hollow ring, in which
one detects no sincerity of purpose,
no conception of moral obligation to
the constituency that elected him,
no disposition save to serve the in
terests that Lorimer backed so we'll
in the lower house and whose back
ing they now wish to have continued
in the upper house.
After the corporation and railroad
senators have come out with like
arguments for Lorimer, CANDLES
defense sounds like the recitation of
a few lines in which he had been
we'll drilled.
But at that it is a weak defense,
because it is based entirely upon
technical grounds, taking no account
whatever of the honor of the senate,
no account of the moral aspects of
the case, and makes no application
whatever Of common II and de-
cency. 1t rejects entirely all proof
adduced tending to implicate Lorimer,
employs not the general rule of TAX
ing all the evidence into considera-
tion and makes no application Of the
testimony such as a reasonably prud-
ent man would be expected to make
if or jury duty, a position in which
Mr.. Gamble finds himself at this
time.
The Gamble defense is a technical
defense at best. And a technical
defense where high moral grounds
should govern is, in NJ parlance,
a white wash. The position of Gamble,
which properly can be assumed to be
the position of the subcommittee
which brought in the majority report,
is a position ignoring right, honor,
and justice, a position of subservience
to the big interests that are demand
ing Lorimer's retention in the senate,
a position that the full blooded in
surgency of South Dakota, which
|sent Gamble to the senate, must
regard with unlimited disgust.
Playing the part of the 'scut up
seems to be the fad in high school.

A.. Tobiasen is now the possessor Of the only
One-Price Clothing Store IN Canton. About two
years ago | dissolved the partnership business with
Olsen Bros. at Canton, moved to Platte, S. d. and
bought what was then called the Model Clothing
Store.
During my short business career at Platte |
en;oyed a GOOD trade and made many friends and
acquaintance, but longed to get back to our old home
and to be able once more to live among our friends
and acquaintances In the city Of Canton.
At the time Olsen Bros. announced that the
first man who would pay them spot cash would be
the successor of what has been pronounced time and
again one of the finest clothing store IN the state OF
South Dakota, | then turned everything at my COM
mand into cash and turned IT over to the firm OF
Olsen Bros, and IN return received one OF the clean
est stock OF clothing that ever changed hands IN this
state or any other state.
1t is therefore with great pleasure that | am
now able to show the public a line Of the finest
makes and the most up-to-date clothing and gents
furnishing goods bought from the best wholesale houses In
America, which is an assurance OF satisfaction on each
and every purchase in this store. From now on each and
every article will be sold at the lowest limit. My prices
will be as low and even less than Olsen Bros. great sem
sational sale of q days. assure you that the height of
nv ambition will be to sell the best goods at the lowest
possible price.
Thanking you for past favors, and hoping to retain
your future patronage which will be highly appreciated by
the 'One Price Clothing Store"
