One wonders IL il would be we'll .or
the senate TO try Senator Lorimcr
twice for the same offense. Lorimer
is pretty well discredited in spite OF
his 'vindication," and that "vindica-

ment for a wholesale publication OF
the body that bestowed 1t, The story
OF the funds that elected Lorimer Is
gradually siping into publicity. 1t is
story that shows how the tariff was

II might be well to let him alone In

To have such a wish is better than
success To be remembered for such
a wish Is TO outlast memorials OF brass
Of stone. Omar, the Tentmaker, wish
ed that he be laid where the summer
wind might scatter the petals Of roses
over him. "by some not unfrequented
gardenside" Johnson's desire Is not
unlike this, but nobler.
And Johnson spoke not only for
himself, but in the spirit OF his time.
Today in America, we are thinking
more and more intelligently of the
children, the children Johnson thought
of, the disinherited children OF great
cities, cheated too often of childhood's
golden legacy of health and joy.
