William Lorimcr junior Senator from
Illinois, has been expelled from the
United States Senate by vote of S. TO
IS. He was charged with having pro.
cured his election by the use of money
more than that-aS the language of the
charges upon which he was convicted
state; "by corrupt methods and prac-
tees" There are few if any people in
these United States, especially among
those who are familiar with this mans
political history, who are not satisfied
that his conviction was just and richly
deserved verdict. His trial has been
long one. Twice has a committee of
the Senate by small majority vote IA
vorcd Lorimcr'S retention, but minori-
ty of these committees have each time
stood for his expulsion. There were
lawyers on the committee and men who,
as does Lorimcr, represent the interests.
Through tcchnicalitiCS these men have
said, practically, that under the laws of
evidence the testimony against him was
not sufficient to convict. Perhaps not;
but public sentiment, and the news
papers of the country, the editors Of
which were not born yesterday, have
said that Lorimcr was guilty. They
knew the man; they went after and I'M
elrthed the evidence. They knew that
one state senator who voted for Lori
mer'S election and afterwards confessed
to having received sum of money for
that vote, was telling the truth. The
man who made this confession was a
banker and during all his previous life
orablc; his character in the COmmu
nifty was unimpeaChablc both as 10 his
public and private life; they knew that
after his arrest and confession and his
return home, that he hung his head in
shame and that the disgrace was a stag
gcrng blow 10 his family, and one from
which they will scarce recover. Men
OF this character do not confess to
crimes of which they are innocent.
Yes. the people of this country have
condemned William Lorimer, the po-
itical partner of Hinly -Dink. And
they are willing to abide all conse-
quenCcS that are likely to confront them
for any responsibility in an unjust YER
dict Here in Florida we are somewhat
obluscatcd over the fact that our own
Senator Duncan L. Fletcher was a lead
ing champion of this convicted briber,
and that he grew hot under the collar as
he stood in his place in the Senate
chamber and tried to make his colleagues
and the world believe that n little tin
Methodist god was about to be CruCificd
on a cross OF vindiclivc newspapers.
There were a few other senators who
voted to keep Lorimer in his seat, and
we have looked over the list. If there
is one on this list who has not made a
reputation as standing in with the in
terests, we don't know who he iS-un-
less il be our Senator Fletcher, and even
he is admoniShed that ga man is known
by The company he keeps"

Coaxing Prosperity

NOoAiHB EEohpcEity-
In the last issue of the Monticello
News, an interesting and forcible arti-
Gle on Prosperity" appears from the
hand of w. w. Carroll, the pecan baron.
Mr.. Carroll disclaims any kinship with
or knowledge of Prosperity, but he lays
down some OF the obstacles which he
believes are Standing in the way OF his
county's progress. He enumerates thus:
Obstacle bad roads; obstacle 2
worse roads; obstacle 3-infernal gullieS
called roads,
Mr.. Carroll's calculation of what's
the matter with Jefferson, can be APP
piled with equal truth to other counties.
The most prosperous counties are those
which have the best roads, and good
roads are not built without spending
money. Some counties are more fortu-
nate than others in having deposits OF
good road material at the roadside, so
that the cost is not so great in making
good roads from bad roads, but in any
event the cost is always considerable
Look where you will, you will invari-
able find that the growth of counties
and cities has been due to the roads, in.

Hon. Forrest Lake had a narrow es-
cape the other day from horrible dis
figurement and what might have been
the loss of one eye. While at the ice
plant he stopped TO fix part of the ma.
chinery and upon taking plug from the
ammonia tank the vapor came upon him
and only the quick action of the invol-
untary muscles of the eye saved his
sight. The ammonia burned one OF his
feet and part of his face and he looks
like he had fought bull dog. He had
a very narrow escape from what might
have been very serious accident and
his many friends are congratulating him
today on the fact that he did not suffer
the loss of his eye sight. He will be
forced 10 wear smoked glasses for some
time and may have to receive treatment

Likes Governors Idea of Court Ac
tivity-


AT its recent meeting in Palatka, the
Florida Press Association did not en-
dorse everything. An effort was made
TO get it to endorse a certain bill that
will be presented at the next legislature.
This motion was withdrawn, because
some editors said they had not read the
bill, and no one had copy.
There was one motion made that car
ricd an endorsement. The Association
by unanimous vote expressed its ap-
prevail of Governor GilchriSt'S contin-
ued efforts for the elimination of tech.
nicalties and delays in court methods.
The motion also congratulated His Ex-
cellency on the fact that the Florida
State Bar Association had prepared and
endorsed bill looking in that direc-
ton.
The News has not approved of some
of Governors vetoes and has not liked
his official attitude towards certain ques-
tons, yet we are at one with him in the
matter of the reform in court methods.
To a layman, who sees courts as the
people acting to accomplish ends, our
courts seem slow. There is, 10 say the
least, too much seeming delay and tech
nicality. How to remedy it, we do not
know. The Governor from the start,
before his election and afterwards, has
been hitting and talking with view to-
wards changing the conditions or praC-
tees. Now, that the lawyers are NOV
ing, something will be done. Arcadia

MANY men LAID OFF.
Anthracite Strike Causes Idleness in
Other Lines of Work.

Philadelphia, April 3.-The number of
idle men in the anthracite regions was
increased today by the laying off OF
additional men by the railroads which
have shipped practically all the coal
destined for outside markets out of
the coal fields. Much of this is strung
along railroad sidings near tidewate1
points.
Transfers hauling powder to tbs
mines also have been laid off. More
than 57,00O,000 pounds of powder are
used each year in blasting anthra-
cite.
The attempt of mine bosses to start
operations at the Katherine colliery
and Independent operations in tn
Northumberland county districts proved
failure. United Mine Workers and
sympathizers canvassed the homes of
the workmen employed at the colliery
and persuaded them not to go to work.
Considerable friction has been avoid
ed in the Lackawanna region where of
ficers of district No. l gave permission
of the union around Scranton to OPP
crate washeries provided the coal Is
used for the boiler rooms of the col
lieries to keep the mines in condition
