tanned his seat by the corruption OF a
member of the legislature. The federal
senate acquitted Mr.. Hanna because,
while it was shown that money had
been improperly used, there was no
evidence that Mr.. Hanna had contrib
uted the money or was eognizart of its
use. The odium of the offense was
placed upon his overzealous friends.
The senate of the United States, not
Mr.. Lorimer, was on trial and the SEN
ate of the United States stands self
condemned. The manner and method
of his election did not shock the senate.
Mr.. Lorilner is not the first nor the
last man to be sent to the senate by
financial and corporate interests. But
it is going to be much more difficult in
the future to elect men of the Lorimer
type The day is not far distant when
candidates for the United States senate
will be compelled to appeal directly to
the people United States senators
will not be elected by jackpotters or in
bathroom conferences.
1t is humiliatng to Wisconsin that
one of it's senators should be found
among those who gave sanction to the
methods employed in Lorimer's cleo
ton, and if the legislature of
Wisconsin shall certify the report of its
investigating committee to the United

MAKING DEMOCRATS.
MILWAUKEE, NrWs.

Milwaukee News.
BY laying off something like 10000
men in the various states through which
it operates, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway has begun the making
of Democrats in large numbers. This
action of the company is taken, it is
claimed 10y the necessity for reducing
operating expenses as a result Of the
refusal Of the interstate commerce com
mission to permit a general advance in
freight rates. An it is to be followed
by similar reductions by other roads.
Nov, although this refusal to permit
the advance in rates was made by a
non-parusan board and there were no
party politics in it in any way, although
the request of the railways met with
the disproval of practically all the peo-
pie not in the employ of the roads, the
throwing out of employment Of a large
number Of men by the road, as a result
of a government decision, will turn
large numbers of people against the
administration. That is to say, Mr.
Taft and his administration viii receive
the blame for creating the condition
that put these men out Of work.
This win all tend toward Democratic
victory in 1912. The people will de-
mand change, a new deal. and per-
sonalites will BE swept aside by such a
demand In fact Vie people will demand

of Mr.. Stephenson's election there
should be found no stouter defender of
the Wisconsin senator than his col
league from Illinois.
The press of the United States has
occasion to be proud Of the determined
stand taken by the Chicago Tribune
in exposing corruption in the legislature
Of Illinois and in pressing the case
against Lorimer in face of the powerful
opposition of financial and corporate in
terests. To its everlasting credit
The Tribune stood by its guns to the
last and fought for honest elections of
United States senators and for legis-
lature undebauched by money.

some real benefits from the government
and no more so-called relief that ends
in more and ever more for them to
bear The people at large disapproved
of the advanced rate proposition be-
cause they knew it would add to the
cost of their living. And the railway
men laid off will demand a change that
will keep the pay envelope coming
steadily. Too many people live from
hand to mouth to welcome these lay offs
whether they are due to economical
conditions, trust cxactions, arbitrary
management or anything else. And
they look to the government to aid them.

HOME AND MOTHERHOOD DISCOVERED AS NEW
s THEME IN 1911 DRAMA, SAYS GRACE SHELLEY

BY WILFRED GRACE SHELLEY.
NEW YORK-women certainly received
their fair share OF attention in this dra-
matte season just now drawing to close.
Home and motherhood were the popular
themes. and though some OF the play
wrights may have had peculiar fancies
regarding these two wonderful things.
their plays caught the public fancy.
The New theater topped it all off-this
dramatic tribute TO the Importance of
mother and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES it present
ed '"rhe Arrow Maker"
Il sing a song" says Edythe Mathi-
son. in her part of CHERISH "of all the
minated women. OF all the women with
out child" 1t is the climax of the play.
And Just few days before that Ethel
Barrymore appeared In revival of
Alice Sit By-The-Fire in which she
says to her husband. when he suggests
that he viii lock up the house for the
night:
you lock the house? Why, a man
doesn't know what locking up means.
Locking up is going around from room to
room In the house. to the bedside of each
one of your children and standing over
them and dreaming of their futures and
praying for their welfare.
And, earlier in the season, there was
Robert Davis play, The Family" which
New York declined, but which, as soon
as II left this city, sprang into public ia
vor. This play showed how homes DOM
stick together of themselves and that the
keystone of home is mother; she holds
it together.
The play Mother one of the earliest
piece of the season, had LONG and sue
cessful run. The whole theme of this
was in the lesson that mother spends
her life and love in bringing up her chill
dren and that the world. instead of CIV
ing her tribute. takes the children from
her.
There were several other plays, includ-
ing ]. NJ Barries one-act piece, The
Twelve-Pound Look" i'm which Ethel
Barrymore is appearing at the Empire,
that deal with problems between husband
and wife. That was another peculiar
trait of the seasons successes.
All of these plays taken together meant
what? None of them has a hero who is
rewarded in the last act by a woman's
kiss and the chime of wedding bells. All
of that old-fashioned 'love-me- and-the-
world -is-mine7f drama has been failure
I'm this season of 1911. In other words the
successes of 1911 have shown life as ii
really it, with it's problems, its sorrows
and its joys They have not shown life
through a romantic mist, as so many of
us have liked to see 1t on the stage.
