Mr., Lorimer's Attitude.

The bold, bland. blond. brazer
boss" of Chicago appeared at the
DuQuoin Soldiers reunion as ad.
yertised. His attorney, Judge Han
ecy, accompanied him, and the spirit
of his address was against the pro-
gressive spirit of his party, particu-
larly in the matter of electing L. s.
Senators, the recall, etc. On this
subject he said:
How long can a man hold pub
lie office who is upfaithful to the
people? Not more than one tern
The power is in the people right
now. We need no recall"
Mr.. Lorimer's attitude is that o.
all men in the public service who
are afraid of the people Not only
is he opposed to the recall, but to
publicity as we'll His Lincoln
League has declared against admit
ting reporters to its meetings. He
would prevent the people from an
nulling an election by their cor
rupted representatives, and would
keep them in ignorance how 1t was
done.
The Senator's declaration that
"the people have power right now"
to rid themselves of unfaithful
representatives is true only in case
such representatives present them
selves for reelection after their first
term Of malfeasance in office The
people have no means of knowing
in advance whether a man will be ,
faithful servant or not, and once
elected. he is practically beyond
their control and may do almost a.
he pleases during his term of Office
The peoples representatives IL
nored the instructions given them al
a primary election, and made Lori
mer Senator. Lorimer is United
States Senator in spite of the PEG.
pies expressed wishes, and in spite
of the peoples wishes he will remain
Senator for six years--unless his
term shall be cut short by his own
colleagues, because of exposures
made by the press which he would
have muzzled.
Replying to Mr.. Lorimer at Du
Quoin, States Attorney Wayman
said truly: "A certain gentleman
fiddled while Rome burned" Mr..
Wayman said. MANY men seem to
have been fddling around when the
statehouse was on fire in 1909. The
men around Springfield in 1901
must have thought they we're there
TO be 'seen'--and not heard.

Properties Of 5uttermiIk.

Some doctors go so far as to say
that there is no case of indigestion

present fad for It.
AT any rate. 1t is hearty food. and
two glasses day are enough for any
one. 1t is said to take over an hour
for II 70 digest thoroughly, and IL
more food is put into the stomach be-
fore it has disposed OF what is already
there. with a little time besides for
rest. more harm is done than good.
So the best time to drink buttermilk
Is with the meals. and its mild acid

CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS.

A New York lecturer In a recent ad.

| some Of the practices of immigrants
| In this country, which are trouble
some to the authorities, have their or
igin in the best intentions and may
be easily corrected when the require
ments OF the American environments
are made clear to the new arrivals.
To illustrate his point he told an in
teresting story. A certain immigrant
mother of numerous offspring was
several times hailed to court and fined
for hurting her ashes into the city
street on which she lived says the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. With
Ihilosophic submission to arbitrary
governmental tyranny she paid her
fines and went her way Finally,
q charitable person, explained to her,
In her own tongue why she should not
throw her ashes into the street 1t
tlen appeared that in the little Polish
village whence she came she and her
reighbors had been requested by
local authority to throw their ashes
into the road by way OF impromptu
street building Then he related a
contrasting anecdote as follows: II
once heard one of the founders of the
City Club say that when he came Of
age he asked his excellent father to |
give him some Idea of what might be |
bis duties as full-nedged citizen of |
this great city. His father replied: |

AIM IN WORK,

The old proverb. Work begun is
half done" has been tried and proven
true in all kinds of work. To be well
begun 1t Is necessary that work should
be well planned, the haphazard, the
shpshod. half-hearted worker never
can reach the standard of excellence.
In the minds of many women there
still exist the idea that housekeeping
can be done. and done we'll, by any
one without much training and with
no study. Let us hear what Rose
Terry, cook, says on that subject:
After much meditation and expert
ence, have OWNED that 1t takes as
much sense and refinement and talent
to cook dinner, wash and wipe

so many good women drifting along

We could make this an ideal world
If each were ready to do his duty to

When we are ready to do a little
more than is required of US. to strive
TO make each piece of work a little
better than the last. we are on the
high road to a successful life.

for housekeepers to remember Is that
