The recent Legislature made some
amendments to the school laws. but
whether they will be of benefit or not
rem aims to be seen. The present school
law needed amending in many rartic-
ulars, and II may be that the new en-
actments furnish the necessary remedies.
Among other things, which should be re-
quired of a County High school, in our
estimation, would be a suitable gymna-
stun. All first class Universities and
Colleges are provided with such depart
ments and why not the County High
Schools? We are sure that it will come
within few years whether provided
for or not. The body as well as the mind
of the pupil will be looked after moro
and more in future years by those who
are in charge of the training of our
boys and girls. An educated and trained
mind, without the proper physical forces
to back it up, can never accomplish the
same results in life, and it is just as
essential to produce good physical con-
ditions in the pupil as to develop the
mental faculties.

Thinks Il Bad Law.

One of the worst bills passed by the
Kentucky Legislature, in the dying
hours of the session, was that making
it unlawful to purchase, procure or de-
liver alcoholic liquor in dry territory.
This measure, if successfully enforced,
will prevent a man in a dry county
from procuring whiskey for medicinal
purposes and prevent a friend from
sending and bringing him whiskey, even
If necessary to save the life of himself
or members of his family. 1t is need
less to say it will not be successfully
enforced. 1t is one of those laws that
cannot be enforced among Anglo-Sax-
ons, who will not submit to the surren-
der of their personal rights simply be-
cause a majority of their neighbors
may exact it Of them. Prohibition IN
Kentucky is taking its usual course,
and We may yet see. before it cumi-
mates in the inevitable reputation, the

CLEARS LORIMER
Second time
Exonerated Of knowledge
Of Legislative Corruption.
Edward Hines INDICATED Of
Charges Of Raising Brib-
cry Fund.

Washington, u. c.. March 2s.-Sent-
tor Lorimer, of Illinois, today won an
overwhelming vindication at the hands
of the special committee of eight Sen
ators who have finished a second in
vestigation of his election by the Hi
nois Legislature in 1863.
Twice challenged and once acquitted,
the committee. by vote of five to
three, on all vital points completely
exonerated him of any knowledge of the
legislative corruption.
Edward Hines, the millionaire lunI-
herman, referred to in the investigation
as ''the man who put Lorimer over
also got vindication by the commit
tee. 1t had been charged that Hines
raised corruption fund of slc0,0Ooo to
elect Lorimer to the Senate. The ma
jority repudiated that and passed a reso
luton that the evidence had shown that
he did not raise or contribute any sum
Improperly.
FINDINGS OF COMMITTEE.
The majority held that no new evil
dence had been adduced to justify a
reversal of the Senate's previous action
in Senator Lorimer's favor: that there
was no evidence of jackpot in the
Illinois General Assembly of 1869 in
connection with his election and, fatty
that no corrupt practices had been shown
by the investigation.
The case will be squarely before the
Senate probably next week when
protracted debates viii begin. Neither
side has made thorough canvass of the
situation. Republican leaders point ont
that there will be about twenty-seven
new Senators TO vote on the case. in
addition to those who have already
voted on substantially the same charges.
The basis of the committees action
was the plea raised by Lorimer's counsel
that the previous action of the Senate
bars reconsideration.
HOW MEMBERS STAND.
The majority report on the main
proposition will be signed by Senators
Dillingham;, Gamble, Fletcher. Johnston
and Jones, and the minority by SeIfa,or
Kenyon, Kern and Lea. Senator Jones
was against Senator Lorimer on the
first investigation. Today he reversed
his position and presented three of the
leading resolutions to exonerate Lorimer.
The contention of the minority men,
bers will be that the Senate passed
upon the question of the former ad-
Indication when it ordered the present
investigation, and that If res-adjudicata
were to prevail it should have been
before a second exhaustive Investigation
at cost of $4,000, was begun. They
contend that the new investigation was
ordered largely because the former
had not made a full nvesti-
cation and the country demanded all
the facts.

Every Taft victory any where in the

upon the other hand If district is car

that the fact is not even mentioned.
This is true also with some Of our Re-

for instance, has never yet found out
that a convention has been held in the
State of Oklahoma, and week after it

the Court House in Hartford tomorrow
afternoon at one O'Clock and take part

elect delegates to attend the State Con-
vention at Louisville and the congress
ional district convention at Elizabeth
town. Do not stay away and then crit

does not go TO suit you. 1t is hardship
upon those who live a long distance
from the County seat to be compelled
to come all the way here in order to
have a voice in the party's candidate

will be the last time that the selection
will be made in this manner. A primary
election in every precinct would give
a fair expression of the voters and would
not work a hardship upon any one.

The late Legislature not only taxed a
boys gun but also passed a stringent fish
portunity to examine. However, it is
safe to say that it will prevent those
who are fond of a dish off resh water
fish occasionally from having their de-
sires gratified, and at the same time
extend the amusement features of the
City Fishing Club, in whose interest
the law was undoubtedly enacted. Be-
sides it furnishes a $500 job for some
