Mr.. Lorimer and the Future.

William Lorimer declares that 1.-The
fight"-for his vindication-"will go on and
on" That is his promise, and that may
be his purpose. He is comparatively a
young man, and has many friends in
Illinois. Although prominent in business.
he is much more prominent in politics,
and probably prefers politics to any other
field Of activity. II seems very likely,
therefore. that in time he will try his
hand again at game he knows and loves
SO WELL
1t is suggested that az a preliminary
step to another senatorial campaign he
may offer for his old seat in the House.
and. obtaining that use it as q stepping

Among his near neighbors Mr.. Lorimer
has always enjoyed, and is said to still
enjoy, much popularity He is hearty
man. In his rise. from humble circum-
stances he has acquired no frills. In his
old congressional district he is still Billy
Lorimer-a good fellow, whom fortune
has not spoiled.
In the defense of himself in the Senate
Mr.. Lorimer showed how political power
is acquired in a crowded city district.
The man who knows how grips others to
him by kind words and considerate treat
ment. In a variety of ways he casts
bread upon the waters and 1t returns
after many days.

question at issue. he talks ramblingly, but
always Interestingly. The Senate heard
him with unf1agging attention. Picked
men, familiar with all the rules and
tricks of oratory and debate. followed
with sort of pleasure a discourse almost
without form and void, but thoroughly
human throughout. 1t was treat of its
kind.
But behind it all stared the grim and
repulsive fact that corruption had OBJ

Mr.. Lorimer to the Senate. This being
plain to large majority Of the Senate.
duty could not be shirked Mr.. Lorimer's s
good nature and human speech and ap-

would his election to the Senate four or
six years from now wash out the facts
established as to his election three years
ago. That election, investigation has
shown, was secured by bribery, and MIR.
Lorimer has paid the proper penalty for
holding a commission SO tarnished.
The vote of the Senate Is assuring both
as to character and size. Two to one is
formidable majority on any question,
but especially so on a question in which
many cross-elements are mixed.

The Song.

The wind with melody all complete
Draws nigh. where the tree-tops rock.
The wave has a cadence wondrous sweet
AS 1t beats on the weed-grown rock.
There comes no lesson Of grief or cheer
Through the forest or by the shore
In the strains that we love so we'll to hear.
They are music and nothing more.
Sometimes from the human heart will
sound
A song with mystic thrill,
Like the song from the depths of the
sea profound
Or the wind on the wooded hill.
And though it seemed but trifie small,
An Indifferent thing to make,
Twas an echo of something within us all;
a song for the songs own sake.

PINS.

THE custom Of making presents on
- New Years day is now practice
ally obsolete among English speaking
people, the day Of gift giving now be-
Ing Christmas. When pins were first
invented and brought into use about
the beginning of the sixteenth CEN
tury they were a New Years gift very
acceptable to ladies, and money given
for the purchase of them was called
pin money. This expression has since
been extended to money settled by a.
husband ON his marriage for the pri-
Vate expenses of his wife. Pins made
OF metal, in their present form, were
in use some time before the year
1543.
1t was during the reign Of
Henry VII that IAN acte for the true
making Of pynnes'' was made in
which it was enacted that the price
should not exceed 6 shillings pence
thousand. Pins had previously
been made of lockwood. bone and sill

by the common folks were made of
common wood and were, in fact,
skewers.

ON CURRENT EVENTS
STEPHEN GIRARD.

THE discovery of large and valu-
l. able deposits of anthracite coal
under property known as the estate
of Stephen Girard, the benefactor of
Philadelphia, again brings to the
front some recollections of that singu-
lar man.
Stephen Girard was the son
OF common sailor of Bordeaux,
France. At ten years of age he came
as cabin boy to New York city. Dur
ing the American revolution he kept
grocery and liquor store in Phila-
delphia, and made enough money
from Americans and British alike to
embark In the West India trade. In
1880 he was worth $4,000. At the
time OF the massacre of the French in
San Domingo $1,000 was left in his
hands by planters for which after
ward he could find no owner. In
1898, 1897 and 1898 Philadelphia was
visited by yellow fever. Girard did
not run away, but devoted his time to
the care of the sick and dying. He
became banker, and in the war Of
1872 with England, when the United
States government was sadly in need
of money, undertook a loan of $5,-
100000.
He died on Dec. 26, 1881, and
left Philadelphia magnificent
Christmas gift. bequeathing to that
city and its benevolent institutions
nearly his entire fortune Of $1,000
900.
Girard had no religious belief,
but was, it Is said, a plain, rude man,
without education, frugal and friend
less; yet kind to the sick, generous
to the poor, and a benefactor to the
orphan, as is in evidence by the Gil
rard College for Orphan Boys.

DATE OF CHRISTMAS.

4 QUESTION long in dispute is
"A whether the 25th Of December
was really the day on which Jesus Of
Nazareth was born. This date has
been accepted by the great body of
the Christian world, and for them
the question is definitely settled,
though the Greek church, because of
a calendar which they refused to
make conform to the Gregorian re-
vision, is Is days behind hand. Some
Christians of the orient celebrate
Christmas on the 10th Of March,
choosing the time of the Jewish pass
over, while others, it is said, keep
the day on the 10Th Of September,
the season of the Jewish Feast OF
Tabernacles.
The fixing of the date Of Deem
Der rs is by some authorities attrib-
uted to Pope julius 7, who ruled from
337 to 1852 A. D. This circumstance
is confirmed by st. Chrysostom, who
died In the beginning Of the fifth
century. This father of the church
says that Julius, on the solicitation Of
st. Cyril, of Jerusalem caused strict
Inquiries to be made, and then fol-
lowing the best authenticated tradi-
ton settled authoritatively on the
25th of December as the anniversary
of the birth of Christ. The name
given by the ancient Goths and Sax
ons to the festival of the winter. SOL
stice was Jul of Yule, and the latter
term is preserved today in the
phrases "Yule-log," and "Yule-tide."

BETTER PRISONERS.

1t is unfortunate that the comment excited by the
anarchstlc defense OF lynch law by Gov. Blease of
South Carolina should have been most noted feat
ure of the recent conference of governors Other
features of the conference worthy of note
Gov Chafroth of Colorado spoke strongly in favor of the
new penal system his state has adopted. It's essentials
are prompt punishment that the prisoner may begin
serving his sentence Immediately, outdoor work and
indetermnate sentences which may shortened both
by good behavior and by good work done. The newest
feature is the shortening the sentence for good
manship is recognition of the value of the good
workman and of the fact that he more likely to be
a good citizen.
The Colorado turns out of her state prison.
according to Gov. Shafroth, strong and healthy
They are self-respectng for they have earned their
freedom by decency and hard work. and they feel
fdence in themselves Moreover the two years the
of prisoners violating his parole. outdoor work
keeps the men healthier and this in itself assures
better conduct and less unhappiness
This experiment Of Colorado's seems to show that
we are on the to better things our treatment

anything like satisfactory handling of penal problems
The plan that will send Of prison in the best
physical and moral condition, with the least likelihood
of their return is worth while We have much to
learn Apparently lessons go show that it paws

Is good policy to make the best of men who have
broken the laws and become subjects punishment
Every man who comes out of prison some likeli-
mood OF making decent living and filing mans

an addition to the assets of society," Let us give
least much thought to Gov. Shafroths words as to
those of Gov. Blease.

Economic problems are always interesting things
probably there is man-made solution for
them. Their remedies just drift in natural
quence. OF course these must be backed by healthy
moral force.
Now comes Ida Tarbell to discuss the problems of
women in industry and she out strongly with
the claim that in the industrial field, unless she
needs the work, is menace
In propounding her proposition Miss Tarben takes
position that enters industrial life
without need is to her needy sisters holding
down wages and making it harder for the needy one
to what she needs for her support AS result of
her deduction Miss Tarbell urges the minimum wage
But her proposition the whole field of economic
discussion so far as the woman in industry goes
There is doubt that the presence of women in
industry creates problem-not only the presence of
the woman who does not actually need the work, but
all of them. Nor is the confined to the needy
sister. 1t has been many times claimed that woman
coming in has taken work from man as she works
more cheaply, and made it harder for man to get
start.
In this connection the excuse given by a railway
official several years ago when his road decided not
to employ any more women for work men could do
bears directly on the question. He said that women
enter industrial life to work until they married.
that is without definite ambition. Young men enter
it to make it life work and to try ambitiously for
the higher places expecting to become family heads
But regardless of the influence in industry
have employment for men family heads Miss
Tarbell is right. When girl women needs work
they should have it-and sympathy But when those
who have homes and do not need work. seek it in
competition with men who must support families or
look forward to doing so, girls or women who
actually need it, they "bear" the market and are a
menace.
This all aside from the many views of morals
physical conditions economic results the of v-
ing and other problems. The solution? Let woman
be paid the same that is given to for doing
the amount OF work, and the problem will solve
itself.
