THE LoRIMER CASE.

Notwithstanding the fact that he had main
tanned that he would not make known the name
OF the person from whom he learned that
"slush" fund Of 100000 had been raised for
the election of Senator Lorimer of Illinois. H.
II. kohsaat editor of the Chicago Record
Herald, has come through However, it was
on the request OF the man from whom he re-
celrad the information; no less "A person than
the general manager of the International Ilar-
vester company Clarence s. Funk And with
the testimony Cf Mr.. Funk added to that already
collected by ia, senate investigator committee
it is more thaa likely that the Lorim ,rattrr
may once more be revived before the present
r,hg.C sSonal session adjourns
IRON the testimony of Mr. Funk il wonll
appear that something rotten in Illinois had
been overlooked by the congressional committee
and it must assuredly be fact that-irrespect-
i've of poitics-the members of congress and
also the administration are most DESTROYS that
everything that might have any bearing on the
be given the light of day. 1t was I'M
doubtedly the opinion of the original congress
slonal investigation committee that it had ear
lled its investigation into every nook and
ner, before it declared Senator Lormer as seat
Cd. However, with the discovery of new in
formation it behooves a further probe.
The testimony Of Mr. Funk is corrOboraed
by Cyrus II. Mccormick, president of the Har-
vester company, it being maintained that that
that concern was expected to donate $4,000
towards the ''slush" fund.- which it refused to
TO- On the other hand, Edward Hines, prom
ihent lumber dealer of the Windy City who il
supposed to have made the request for the dona-
ton, absolutely denies the truth Of the evidence
submitted by Mr.. Funk. Taken in the aggr,-
gate it looks as though further investigation
were most essential

RECENT ELECTIONS.

Looking back the elections in different
sections Of the country during the past few days
there is very little that is startling that pre-
diets any radical change in the IDEAS OF the
electors. True, in several sections socialism
made heavy gains. But in Milwaukee, the
American stronghold of that party, it went down
in defeat Some few small points have changed
from republican to democratic rule. Some few
have changed from democratic to republican
Points that were dry have gone "wet," while
some few others that were wet" have gone
dry = Taken all in all the changes have just
about balanced one another, except for the few
Socialistic gains.
As forecast for the next presidential cleo
ton it would look as though the people Of the
country were perfectly satisfied with leaving the
rens of government in republican hands or
course those who opposed to the regime OF
President Taft will see in the few changes every
prospect for complete change next year. How
ever their viewpoint is biased They are look
ing through one eye and magnifying that which
is most desirable to them.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.

With the new strike in the West End, pros
poets in the Tonopah district take a roseate
hue and the outlook for better times is bright,
indeed SO satisfactory does the strike appear to
the officials Of the company that the Midway
mill has been purchased and will be put in
firstclass condition and work commenced by
about August 1st This BODIES well for the
future Of the West End, which, it is believed
will eventually prove one of the best dividend
payers of the entire district. The operation of
the mill will mean the employment of additional
men in TonOpah, and 1T will probably mean
that additional men will be employed in the
West End workings. 1t will mean considerable
of an increase i'll the monthly payroll of the
district.
Not only is it in the West End that the
silver lining is to be seen, but also at the Bel
mont, which company intends to eventually erect
a mill for the handling of its ores; which will
again considerably increase the number of men
employed in the local mining industry.
Provided the new men employed are all of
the white race, Tonopah will have every rea-
son to feel that she is billed for new era of
prosperity.

RENO'S COLONY.

That the state Of Nevada is the center Of at
traction for the entire country and that Reno 5
famous divorce mill is the cause, is evidenced
by the caustic remarks Of contemporary news
papers. Commenting the words Of Colone
Roosevelt of several days ago, the Oakland
Tribune says:
Colonel Roosevelt told the people of
Reno the plain truth about their divorce
mill. 1t is national scandal. 1t was
no invasion of local affairs for the col
onel to say what he did about the Reno
divorce mill That institution is not
maintained for the people of Nevada,
but for residents of other states who
go there to be released from marital
bonds. Its patrons evade the laws of
the state in which they reside and set
up false pretense when they claim,
litgants. to be residents of the state
Of Nevada. Colonel Roosevelt spoke in
defense of the laws of other states and
in reprobation of system of free love
that is being aided and abetted by the
easy divorce laws of Nevada.

CHICAGo'S VICE.

The Chicago vice commission the first Salared
BODY of it's kind ever known has made thor
ough investigation of conditions IN the Windy
City-especially with relation to the social =
evil-and has made report and offered recon-
mendations Among other recommendations IS
the appointment of morals commission and
the establishment of a morals court. The
commission is of the opinion that "most'' OF the
police are honest. 1t points out the startling
facts that men are the 'higher-ups" in the bust
ness administration of the "sOcal' evil; also
that the "white-slave" trade is not organized,
as has previously been thought to be the case
As contributing causes to the crying evil the
commission points out Want of necessities
of life; craving for simple Injuries; ignorance,
broken promises; deceit of men and poverty
The actual causes are summed up as:
Lack of ethical and religious teach
ngs; economical stress on underpald
workers.; large number OF seasonal
trades for women, leaving periods OF
the year when there is employ
ment; abnormaity; unhappy home con
dtions; careless and ignorant parents;
broken promises love OF ease and lux
ury; craving for excitement and change;
ignorant of hygiene.
Among the further recommendations OF the
commission are
instruction Of children II and 16
years old in sex hygiene; by personal
attention of parents; physical eXamina-
ton OF applicants Tor marriage licenses;
better protection for girls abolition of
the fining system against known men,
bers of vice districts; an intelligent and
ample adult probation system; home for
old offenders; an appeal to the chivary
of man; women officers of the police
force; vocational training for older girls
in public schools.
The report in its entirety is most exhaust
i've one 1t covers the field thoroughly and re-
fleets great credit upon the members of the
commission.
