FAIRCH|LO is ELECTED
Chosen President of National
Educational Association.

At Chicago Edward T. Fair
child, superintendent of schools Of
Kansas, was elected president of the
National Education association after
some preliminaries almost as exciting
as those of the recent Republican ma
tional convention.
There were accusations of intimida-
ton, steam-roller tactics and general
'denunciation of Chicago as having
seized the control of the election ma
chinery for the purpose Of defeating
the candidacy of Miss Grace c..
Strachan of New York
The latter was nominated on the
floor Of the convention by Miss Kath-
crime D. Blake, and Miss Matilda
Ford, one of Miss Strachan's cam
paign managers, made charges of in
timidation after a heated behind-the-
curtain controversy with Miss Mar
garet Haley of Chicago.
The fight reached a crisis follow
ing the submittal of the report of the
nominating committee, which in the
forenoon session had given the Fair
child candidacy thirty-four votes as
against seven for Miss Strachan.

SENATOR LORIMER
LOSES HIS SEAT
End of a Struggle Which Has
Lasted Three Years.
lows Many Days of Debate
Final Stand Made by
Mr.. Lorimer.

The United States senate, by vote
of So to 27, declared that William Lor-
inner of Illinois was not entitled to his
seat. This final decision of the senate
marks the end of Mr.. Lorimers fight
to retain his seat which has extended
over a period of three years.
Senator Lorimer of Illinois made
speech in the senate covering three
DIS in which he dashed his enemies
and defended his right to the seat in
the senate.
Considerable speculation has been
caused in political circles the coun-
try over by the statement of Will
liam Lorimer of Illinois that the vote
of the United States senate ousting
him from his seat was not the end of
the fight, which he vowed to still car
ry forward.
The vote of the senate followed
many days of debate, during which
eloquent pleas were made both for and
against the Illinoisan's retention of
his seat The final election from the
senate of Illinois junior representa-
tive follows two lengthy federal inves
LEGATIONS, between which the Illinois
legislature took a hand and conducted
an investigation of it's own, unearth-
ing new evidence which in reality led
to the second investigation by the fed
eral body.
The final decision of the seate
marks the end of fight made by Lori
mer to retain his seat which extended
over three years. 1t brings the end
of a national scandal into which were
drawn various interests. In way
the vote of the senate ignores the &C
quittal of Lee O'Neill Browne, alleged
to have been the manipulation of the
legislative Jackpot" and finds the
facts as heretofore alleged to be true.
Senator Lorimer made his last
stand before the settlement of his
fate. More dramatic and eloquent
than on any of the proceeding days,
he brought in every resource of ora
tory and appeal Like a trapped lion
in the pit of an arena of old, he stood
in the center of the senate floor, short,
stout, shaking his long, sandy hair, his
double breasted blue coat closely but
toned over his hot and painting figure,
alternating hurting defiance to his en-
emies and pleading beseechingly for
vindication like a Roman.
The immense audience sat hushed
and stolid. The senators, the judges of
his fate, were like so many craven
images as they drank in the impas-
stoned plea. Even when he called
this one or that by name, which harsh
tone or quavering voice, no response
was evoked.

Arsenic Found in Vegetables.

Arsenic has been found as a normal
constituent in man and animals, and
now Drs. Jadin and Astrug, two
French biologists, show that it may be
derived from edible plants and fruits.
They examined thirty-nine vegetable
substances, and obtained arsenic from
all, the quantities ranging from DOB
part per million IN the leek to OBS
part per million in almonds and beans.
Other vegetable matters, containing
arsenic are the common cabbage, the
turnip, the potato, cultivated mush-
rooms, black trdff1es, Japanese rice,
red haricots, white haricots, gray
peas, split peas, lentils. artichokes,

REFUSE TO ENDORSE TAFT
Iowa Republicans Shout for Roosevelt
and Attack Chicago Platform.

At Des Moines, Iowa, by a vote
of 773 to 342 the Republican state
convention refused TO endorse the ma
tional ticket and the Chicago plat
form.
The convention left the issue to
"the conscience of the individual
voter" The Roosevelt element, which
was noisy but not numerous, made no
attempt to secure an endorsement, but
at the special meeting at the Slavery
hotel decided to hold a Roosevelt
state convention in Des Moines July
20. Pending that time county mass
meetings will be held and delegates
named and arrangements made for
putting a full ticket IN the field AS
a result of the slight placed on the
national ticket the Taft Republicans
promise that they will slaughter the
state ticket at the polls and elect a
Democratic legislature which will
choose the successor to Senator w.
S. Kenyon.

ORDERS RATES REDUCED
Express Companies Hit by Interstate
State Commerce Commission.

The interstate commerce commission
has ordered reductions in the rates
charged by express companies. 1t has
also ordered far-reaching reforms in
the regulations and practices of the
companies and has also imposed upon
them a uniform system of rate MAX
ing.
The order of the commission, while
not final, is subject only to a hear
ing to be given the express companies
on Oct 8. The commission calls upon
the companies to show cause at that
time why the changes in rates and
practices should not Immediately go
into effect This tentative arrange
ment of the commission merely means
that they desire to give the express
companies an opportunity for final
word in their own 0efense.
The decision of the company will
cause general reduction in rates on
small packages of about 20 per cent
While the average reduction is only
20 per cent the reductions taken alto
gether range from 10 to 50 per cent

SINCE TIME OF GRANDMA
Remarkable Changes Effected in Dress
and Social Activities in Fem
mime World.

The modern society woman has a
multitude of expenses that her grand
mother never even dreamed of; her
visits to the masseuse, the hair
dresser, the chiropodist, are a neces-
sary part of her grooming today.
While grandma tucked her switch
guiltily away in the drawer of her
dressing table and could not be bull
lied into the admission that she used
powder, today her granddaughter I'M
hesitatingly admits that she wears
false braids and curls and that the soft
glow of health on her rounded cheek
was skillfully applied by perfect
wonder of beauty doctor.
Social affairs have increased in num-
Der as we'll as in variety, and this
has brought about great change in
my lady's wardrobe. Our grandmoth-
ers talked about their ''best dress"
and "best hat" the up-to-date lady
speaks Of her bridge gown, her dinner
gown and her dancing frock. She has
not one gown for dress up affairs, but
IL or Is. She has an appropriate out
fit for each occasion. Not only must
the gown be suitable, but all the ac-
cessories, including hat, wrap, gloves,
shoes, veil, jewelry and even lingerie
must be in absolute harmony.
When one stops to consider that
the woman who is Gin society does
remarkably well If she keeps within
800 for a years supply of gloves,
some idea may be formed as to the
amount which she spends for such
items as tailored suits, ball gowns and
furlined evening wraps.

NOTHING is EVER DESTROYED
Matter Changes, But Does Not Cease
to Exist-Simple Experiment That
Proves Proposition.

When candle burns it is not de-
stroyed. What seems like destruction
is merely change. Any one can prove
this for himself by very simple ex-
pertinent
Take !. glass tube md fit cork into
each end. Bore some holes in the low
er cork, one of them in the middle
large enough to hold :. candle Bend
smaller glass tube to u shape, fill it
with small pieces OF caustic soda and
cork one end. Now connect the two
cylinders by small glass tube through
the corks. Insert the candle through
the lower cork and suspend the whole
apparatus from one beam of the chem
ical balance. Weigh it carefully.
Connect the free end of the u tube
to an aspirator so as to establish a
uniform current Of air through the
tubes. Remove the candle, light it.
and instantly reinsert it. Let it burn
down until entirely consumed. Now
reWeigh the apparatus. You will find
that it actually weighs more than it
did before the candle was burnt!
What had happened? The carbon
and hydrogen of which the candle was
composed have been separated. have
drawn oxygen from the air and CON-
bined with it, forming water and car
bon dioxide or carbonic acid gas. The
caustic soda has absorbed the carbon
dioxide and made sodium carbonate.
and has also caught the water. The
extra weight is simply that of the oxy-
gen taken out Of the air.
This is a practical illustration of the
great truth that nothing is ever de-
stroyed. Matter changes, but does not
cease to exist. ST. Thomas Auuinas
taught this in the thirteenth century
thus as in SO many other ways an
ticipating modern scientists-and
some OF the ancient Greek philoso-
piers understood it. 1t has only been
proved experimentally in recent years.

others are missing, a thousand are
homeless and a loss of $2,5O0,000 to
the city and individuals in property

sands of chickens, hundreds of horses
and cattle were drowned and hun
dreds of vegetable gardens were
ruined.
Ten thousand visitors at City park
were marOoned for hours, taking ref
uge in the pavilions, seeking shelter
under trees and experiencing great
discomfort. Deep mud still covers
miles of sidewalk in the city, though
the cleaning of the streets is in prog
ress.
