OLYMPIC VICTORIES

It is pleasant to know that our ath- Olympic games at Stockholm. We have sent 105 athletes to the game, they have been trained regardless of expense, and they are the pick of the country. Much is expected of them and they are delivering the goods. Hearts thrill with pride as they! cross the line ahead of all competitors.
 Our successes in the athletic field should mot, however. make us con temptuous of. our brothers on the other side of the water.
 Life over there is less strenuous. They do not take their athletics cs seriously as we do. Whatever we do is a business with us. and that is commendable.
 But the Europeans have been mak- ing more of business lately, than we have, of attending to the we'll be- ing of their citizens.
 Their cities are more beautiful than ours, and. their conveniences to increase the health, comfort and hap piness and comfort of the people are often greater than our own.
 One athletic feat in which the Flu ropeans surpass us, is that of wrest- ling public services from private ownership. Municipal ownership of gas, water and electric light, of troll ley transportation and the like, is very common throughout Europe.
 European superiority in this 0lym- pic field has resulted in large advan-

ture, which are said to be very effec- tive.
 The principle advantage of these so- luttons is that they are cheaper to use. that they are without smell and do not track.
 It might be worth while to expert ment on few miles of streets with something of this kind. E.
 Nevertheless, tie experiment of oii- ing must be counted a success.

LESSON OF LoRIMER.


 4sfa. afas sss-----4 1, ss--e .fr&2za
 Every American who wants honest government will hope for unanimous vote expelling Lormer from the senate. @esra sa@ as
 So much will be gained for government by the people, much will be lost to by for special privilege. ..9.
 In certain sense there is hardship to Lorimer in the fate that has befallen him.
 He has been doing what great many others have been doing both the United States Senate and else were he has been singled out for special reproduction l Lorimer no doubt believes himself much abused man. he entertains peculiar views of the senators he knows will against him, for he is aware that the of fees of of these senators ftte no less aint ed than his own
 Lorimer also knows that the sort of politics which made him senator has it's counterpart pretty nearly every state in the Union
 He knows that the improper use of money lies at the very basis of modern election systems.
 Money is collected It is used to buy votes at the primaries to buy votes at the election to buy votes in nominating conventions and to buy votes in legislatures
 He knows that the direct purchase of votes is but small portion of the system of corruption which makes modern politics cesspool.
 The influence of influential persons is obtained by promises jobs; the service of others by the actual delivery of jobs to themselves or their friends
 The railroads and other public service corporations which the chief corruptng forces in politics have many soft berths to offer to those who them both jobs and opportunities to buy and sell
 Connecticut represents more than most other states the sort of politics that produces Lorimers.
 The lesson of Lorimer may be proftablv consid cred in Connecticut than in any other state
 In Connecticut corruption at the ballot box coo received and the expenditure of large of money on elections so much matter of course that it has been impossible to obtain legislative investigation of the evil.
 Candidates for the highest office in the state expend such as their face incompatible with lawful elections The expense accounts of candidates who have used these great presented to prosecutors bear ing upon their faces the evidence of crime Prosecutors avert their eyes, and the thing goes on.
 Lorimer IS scapegoat He is burnt offering to the rotten system that produced him.
 Some of the who will vote for his sacrifice will do so hoping to attention of the people from the circumstance that their offices came them through the system, which they expected to serve just as Lorimer was
 But the public is aroused It will demand not scape boats, but the destruction of corruption in politics
 The American people find they have delegated their power too long and too much.
 They are increasing the quantity of DIRECT GOV ERNMENT and taking into their own hands of the power of government.
 The lesson of Lormer is that DIRECT PRIMARIES and the INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM have been too long delayed
 What shall it profit special privilege to buy law, get it's owned law makers to make law if the stolen stat ute be subject to repeal at the ballot box?

The death of ZENITH. the half myth.

most remarkable in all history-that
is, If it can consistently be called a
historical fact. According to the story.
ZENITH had killed son and brother
of the warlike Fennella. She for re-

an automatic death dealing machine, a
wonderful statue filed with hidden
springs, levers. etc. When finished
and set up this ''braZen image" was
an admirable work of art. In it's right
hand it held a basin and in the left an
apple of pure gold. both set with dia-
mondS and other precious stones. To
touch this apple was to dare death. it

such vandalism would be Immediately
riddled by poisoned arrows shot from
loopholes in the body of the statue.

The shoulder of draft horse
should be moderately sloping, smooth

Of poorly formed draft horses have
shoulders which are too steep. Occa-
sionally the shoulders are too sloping.
Either extreme in a draft horse is OBJ

comes from these causes when the
horse is doing heavy pulling. The cor

shoulders should be smoothly and
deeply covered with muscles and be
free from coarseness, roughness, sores
and tumors. The withers should be
we'll covered and moderately high.
The forearm, extending from the ell
bow to the knee, should be long, wide,
heavily muscled and free from coarse
ness. This portion of the body of the
draft horse, together with the lower
thigh (gaskin) of the hind leg, cannot
be fattened, but is composed chiefly OF
lean muscle and bone. The muscles
should be prominent in front and
above and the entire part clean and
free from puffiness and coarseness.
The knees should be straight, wide,
deep, strongly formed and smooth.
So long as these and other joints

The hoofs should be ample in size,

Poor hooks are common fault in

Bas-ReIiefs of the Stone Age.

Some large bas-reliefs dating from
the Stone Age have just been dis
covered at Lanosel, in the French prov
ince of Dordogne. They are sculp-
tured on the rock Of a shallow grot-

thought that the primitive sculptors
probably refrained from introducing
the human figure in art by a tabu
similar to the present Mohametan
tabu on such representation. The
animals shown in the reliefs are rein
deer, oxen, bisons, and huge horse
of prehistoric dimensions.
