After the collision and the boat

wisd blew. This family was without

AN EASTERN VIEW.
Golfers Takes Shot at Senator
Charles Curtis.

Golfers Weekly of recent date has
the following editorial on the Senator
Curtis two votes, first for, and then
against Lorimer, in the famous. custer
case:
s"The vote in the senate on Lorimer
came July 10; August Curtis of Kan
sas comes before his people to account
for his stewardship. By. no amount
of optimism could it De hoped that
the people of Kansas could forget in
twenty-one days. And so Curtis voted
against Lorimer.
IF it be thought we do the senator
from Kansas an injustice in imply
ing that in this act he was governed
by his unwilling fears, rather than
by his inclination to obey the ma
chine that has been protecting Lori
mer, let US glance at the record.
There was another vote on the I'M
seating of Lorirner; it came March 1,
1911, long enough away from the
date of the Kansas primaries to rem
der not unreasonable the hope that
a temporarily angry constituency
might forget; on this Beveridge reso-
luton declaring Lorimer not entitled
to his seat, Curtis Joined Guggenheim,
Bailey, Crane and the others in favor
of Lorimer. And there was still a
third roll call on Lorimer. After he
had been INDICATED once (by the roll
call just deScribed), when new evil
dence was discovered, and when it was
Qec1QoQ TO investigate his case AGAIN,
two ways of conducting the investiga-
ton were proposed-by a special
committee, or by the regular COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
Z 1.-The special committee was support
ed by the progresSiveS, who really
wanted to get rid of Lorimer, by Borah
Kenyon, Bourne, owen and Dixon.
These senators knew that the regular
committees are always reactionary and
usually packed. CAT least, it has been
so in the past; things are changing
now) Moreover, it was known that
the regular committee on privileges had
already indicated Lorimer once and
would vindicate him a second time
(And they did vindicate him a second
time: the recent senate vote that
elected Lorimer was on the adoption
of the minority report of this commit

Z, 1911, Curtis of Kansas again joined
Guggenheim, Bailey, Crane and the
other reactionaries and voted in favor
of Lorimer.
what Curtis did in the Lorimer mat
ter is merely typical; a study of his
senate record reveals him in the same
position again and again-on the tar1ns

lowing the leadership of Aldr1ch, Curtis
is a disgrace to KanSas-the word Is

among the last five men in
the senate. He is one of the petty
