Back to a clOakroom door. Senators
and members of the house gathered
about him, grasping his hand and
patting him on the back
The final vote was upon the resolu-
ton offered by Senator Luke Lea OF
Tennessee, declaring the Lorimer
election by the Illinois legislature in
1903 invalid. The adoption of the
Lea resolution carried with it the
senate's verdict that corrupt meth
DDS and practices were employed in
the election of William Lorimer''
making his election invalid. The Lea
resolution was as follows:
Resolved, that corrupt methods
and practices were employed in the
election of William Lorimer to the
senate of the United States from the
state of Illinois, and that his election
was therefore invalid"
The outcome of the vote was not a
surprise, but the leaders of the fight
against him had not estimated a
greater vote than so to So. Lorimer
gained only one of the men who
voted against him March 1, 1911
Senator Jones of Washington while
he lost the votes of his associate,
Senator Cullom, and of Senator'S Cur
tbs of Kansas, Briggs of New Jersey,
Simmons of North Carolina and Wat
son of West Virginia
OF the senators voting against Lor-
inner twenty-seven were republicans
and twenty-eight democrats.
Lorimers final summing up was
dramatic. Fired with bitterness
against his enemies, the Illinoisan
turned flood of invective toward his
senatorial opponents Standing in
the center aisle, he shook his fist and
defied them to pick flaws in his ex-
PLANTATION of evidence collected

Closing, Senator Lorimer declared
that ne would not resign though

YOUTH GRANTED NEW TRIAL
Ripon Lad, Convicted of Murder,
Wins on Affdavits Charging
Prejudice of Juror.

Washington, d. C.-After a pro-
longed fight in the house, a bill was
passed placing Mrs. Cornelia Bragg,
widow of Gen. Edward S. Bragg Of
Wisconsin, upon the pension roll 10
receive $50 a month The old
friends of General Bragg, led by Rep
resentative Cooper of Wisconsin,
made valiant effort to secure for
Mrs. Bragg pension of $1O0, but the
opposition was too strong and they
were outvcted whenever the house
divided
Representative Mann of Chicago,
minority leader of the house, was
among those who opposed a larger
pension on the ground that a. rule
has been established limiting the
amount to $50 month in such cases.
Representative Cooper declared
that Gen. Bragg was as great a sol
der as the war produced and to his
Iron brigade he gave full credit for
withstanding the onslaughts of Long
streets men, thus preventing, Mr..
Cooper asserted, a serious invasion
of the north.

ment was already busy trying to build
up the rotten government and to abol
ish tyranny. The people uiurinured
The Turkish crown seemed tottering
Abdul Hamid had before him a task
that would have crushed most rulers
Yet he performed it with skill that
stamped him as the suhtlest and ablest
statesman of his day.
At the outset of his career as sultan
the atrocities in the Balkans LED Rus
won the conflict and might have wiped
the stain of Turkish crimes from the
earth had not the other European pow
ers grown jealous. They interfered;
saved Turkey and deprived Russia OF
nearly all the fruits of her victory Al
ready the sultan was beginning tc
show his rare statesmanlike quail
ties.
In the peace treaty Abdul made
many fine promises. He kept none OF
! them, and he so fooled the European
powers that he suffered no penalty
from his breach of faith He choked
the voice of liberty, silenced the
Young Turks by force and made
himself sole master of his empire. BY
playing one nation against another and
| by owing some of them huge debts
that his downfall might cancel, he
kept the world at large from interior
! ing with his horrible plans
For instance, in 1895-1S96 the signal
was given by him for wholesale mas
sacre of Armenian Christians. Thou
sands of defenseiess persons were
slaughtered. A far lesser series OF
atrocities had brought on war with
Russia in 1877. Yet this time not one
European nation lifted a finger to
check the outrage
But tyranny has always wrought its
own destruction. While Europe, bound
hand and foot by the web of Abdul
Hamid's willy diplomacy, took no STEP
to check his crimes, his own people at
length rose against him. The Young
Turks grew too strong to be put
down. There was an almost bloodless
revolution in 1908. Abdul was de
posed in April, 1909, and was sent to
Salonica as a state prisoner His
younger brother, Mehmed, or NOLAN
ed, was taken from a prison palace
where Abdul had confined him, and
was placed upon the Turkish throne
That Abdul was deposed is but nat
ural. The only wonder is that he was
able to hold his shaky power in such
nasterful fashion for a third of cen

He changed religions as another man
would change from summer to winter
clothes. A writer on morality, his own
morals were unspeakable. He was ever
eager to receive aid; and still more
industrious in abusing benefactors. He
had a genius for philosophic writings
and far greater genius for making
enemies. The kindest thing that can
be said about him personally is that he
was probably more or less insane.
Rousseau was the son of Swiss
matchmaker. His father in 1922, when
the lad was ten years old, became in
volved in street row and had to leave
his Geneva home, calmly deserving his
family. Jean Jacques was brought up
by his mothers relatives, who ap-
prenticed him at thirteen to a notary.
The boy and his maste. could not get
on together, so Jean was apprenticed
over again, this time to an engraver.
All his long life Rosseau quarreled
with everybody into whose society he
was thrown. He began with the en-
graver. At sixteen he Jumped" his
apprenticeship and ran away from
Geneva.

Rousseau saved himself from punish

celebrated Confessions.
When his employer died, Rousseau
found another situation-and promptly
lost it on account of his conduct. His
