Wilson and La Toilette

Out of corporation-owned and
boss-ridden New Jersey there came
last week a voice that quickened
the pulses and thrilled the hearts
of men everywhere who are fight.
ing the battle of political progress.
1t was the voice of Woodrow Will
son, demanding uncompromisingly
that his party's plighted faith be
kept and it's honor preserved.
God defend US against compro-
misors!" exclaimed DR.. Wilson.
Il would rather be knave than a
coward"
Clear, brave notes such as this,
sounding above the din of party
squabbles and chickering's, and shin
ing resplendently beside the cow
ardice and timidity of too many
of his party associates, are likely
to make DR.. Wilson the national
leader of his party next year. The
American people love q brave
man. They bate coward and q
trimmer. The man who flaunts a
bogus courage ID public, while he
schemes and bargains with the
mammon Of nnrighteousness in
private, may succeed for awhile,
but eventually he win be discredit-
ed and cast aside. The n4n, who,
convinced that he y right, will

three in favor of the Republican.
The attorneys were permitted to
argue their cases before the house
Saturday and final settlement of
the contest deferred till next week.
Sentiment of those acquainted
with the facts seems to be in favor
of the Democrat with belief that
the legal right to the seat belongs
to the Republican.
Representative Kerr of Brook
ings, has introduced bill provid-
ing a standard for pure seeds, and
inspection of seeds. Senator Cone
of Minnehaha has a proposition to
permit school boards to convert
sinking fund into warrants on the
general fund. Senator Perley of
Moody has a plan to conserve the
state land by prohibiting the plant
ing of flax on leased land. He will
also introduce a measure to limit
fishing to the summer months.
Representatives Millett of Stanley
want the absolute protection of
deer, antelope, and elk. The latter
will introduce bill to legalize the
creation of irrigation districts.
All in all the first week has been
a good beginning for more stren-
uous ones to come. The organiza-
tion of both houses has been COM
pleted, a few bills have been in
troduced. Harmony has prevailed
in all quarters, and everything
points to a session to be remem-
bered for its good works.

the bitter end, is the man, who, in
the final reckoning, will command
the mistaken loyalty and conf
dence of his people.
DIR. Wilson's speech both in its
uncompromising declarations of
principle and in it's keen and
incisive analysis of modern political
and business relations, reminds of
La Toilette. And in truth La
Follette's strength in Wisconsin is
bottomed on the same foundation
that promises to render Wilson
impregnable in New Jersey, name
ly, the absolute confidence of a
majority of the people in his sin
cerity, and their belief that he will
not sacrifice principle to attain
personal ends. Year after year
La Follette's majorities in Wis
consin have been mounting higher
and higher because of oft repeated
proofs that he will stick
r. Dr. Wilson may or may not
attain the presidency, but he has
furnished the world a striking ex-
ample of a sincere man who did
not hesitate, in the face of great
obstacles, to do his simple duty
when it was presented to him.

Speaks Against Lorimer

Washington, d. G.: Senator
Crawford of South Dakota spoke
Tuesday in support of the minori-
ty committee against Lorimer.
Crawford's position is directly op-
posed to that of his colleague,
Gamble, who was member of the
subcommittee. which investigated
the case.
In an exhaustive, carefully pre-
pared speech, Senator Crawford
of South Dakota denounced the al
legged methods employed by agents
OF Lorimer in the legislature of
Illinois and declared it his convic-
tion that Lorimer was not entitled
to retain his seat in the senate. In
the face of Lorimer's repeated
protestations of innocence, Craw-
ford fatty charged the latter was
cognizant of the questionable prac-
tices of his lieutenants. The evil
dence taken by the subcommittee,
in his opinion, showed conclusive
ly the election of Lorimer was the
outcome of carefully laid plan,
beginning with the election of Ed
ward Shurtleff, whom he described
as a bitter enemy of Senator Hop
kins and a political henchman of
Lorimer," to be speaker, and Lee
O'Neill Browne, leader of the mi
nority. Crawford declared all
party principle was abandoned,
the expression of the party vote at
the primary unceremoniously dis
regarded and the control of the
house seized by the unscrupulous
and unprincipled with dark lantern
schemes to promote" Crawford
insisted Shurtleff and Browne were
active agents of the campaign of
corruption and he charged Lori

no ill will and would not do him
the smallest injury or injustice

the fact that for days and nights
Immediately preceding the 26th of
May 1909, when these corrupt and
tainted votes were cast for him,
he was in Springfield directing
his own campaign; that he was in
almost constant conference with
Browne and Shurtleff and they re-
ported progress to him."
| Crawford concluded by announc-
ing that he stood ready to vote
for q resolution to unseat Lorimer.

Many actors engrossed in the
active calling of the stage are close

did you ever notice" said Mr..
Pfarr while seated in the lobby of
the St. Charles hotel at Pierre one
day last week, "how many people
there are who seem to possess a
mania for borrowings" It's a
match, your pocket knife, tooth
pick, something continuously.
Men who smoke, and about all of
us do, have no backwardness in
asking anyone for a match. How
many matches do you think are
consumed in the course of a year?
Some one pays for them, but no
one ever heard of a man refusing
to give away match provided of
course he had one.
Then there is the man of nervous
temperament who bites his nails
and at the same time must eternal
ly have a knife which he seems
never to own and consequently You
being the closest must produce
yours.
Then again. there is the fellow
who always wants to write when
you happen to be around and con-
sequently your pencil or fountain
pen is the one he has to use.
While at times these traits in
others are little nerve racking,
yet one of the best friendships my
life has ever possessed came about
through an utter stranger borrow
ing my pencil. It came about
something like this, we were jump
ing from St. Paul to Omaha and /
was in the smoking compartment
of the Pullman and strange to say
when the incident occurred one
other and myself had the whole
car to ourselves. He was some
what elderly and l noticed he was
making desperate efforts to locate
a pencil to jot down something and
naturally l came to the rescue for
which he thanked me most pro-
fusely. The ice being broken by
the pencil, SO to speak, we fell in
to conversation and l learned that
he was a Denver lawyer. l reluct.
antly admitted that I was an actor,
for despite what you all say there
seems to be a small prejudice
against those on the stage, and as
the train rolled on we became quite
chummy. From being introduced
so to speak by pencil, we became
the best of friends and l have spent
several happy visits at his house
in Denver and he has made several
trips to see Cast Aside.''

Silver was put in charge of that de-
partment by Elam H. Neal. collector
for the Sixth district of Indiana, at

to both government men and the dis
tiller. Mr. Stfver's former experience
as a gauger and revenue man enabled

at the present time the denatured de-
| partment of the Hammond Distilling
| company stands second to none in the
| United States. Mr.. Silver is regarded

swords many times with expert rev.

and through his efforts many changes

ROBBERY AT
TOLLESTON

One of the most daring robberies that
has ever taken place in the vicinity of
Tolleston occurred some time last night
when thieves entered a number of
rooms occupied by guests in the Hotel
Gibson, 4th avenue and Michigan Gen.
trail tracks, and made hteir get away
with considerable amount of valua-
bles.
How the bold thieves entered the
occupied rooms without making a noise
and not disturbing the roomers can
not be understood and no one claims
to have heard any noise during the
night.
The whole hotel was ransacked, and
things were turned upside down in
their eagerness to find anything val
uable
An estimate of just what has been
taken has not been learned, but the
thieves got away with gold watches,
suits of clothes and an amount of mon
ey.
The authorities of Gary so far
have no clues to work on, but this
morning a number of police and plain
clothes men have the case in their
hands and hope to land the guilty par
ty.
