SWAPPING THE CHAINS

Machine ridden Illinois has come
into her own.
1t is not that the vote went to
Roosevelt, but it is that the vote
was progressive, that delights US.
Lorimer has gone down.
With chicanery, false dealing. cor
ruption, bribery, clever manipuIa-
ton, systematic hoodwinking of the
people, Lorimer fastened himself up
on the state of Lincoln and the Re-
publican party.
He held his place with sublime eff
frontery.
He bought his way into the United
States senate and his political path
is marked with bribery.
Yet the senate has condoned his
offences and pardoned his crimes.
But the people of Illinois were
wiser and Drawer and more nearly
honest than the United States sena-
tors.
Lorimer and his machine were
buried under the anti-Lorimer votes
last Tuesday.
Roosevelt triumphed; Taft was
showed under. Which is to say:
The machine was wrecked; the
people have come into their own.

the first, then The rue anemone, the
hepatica. the snowy trillium and of
course the violets while out on the
prairie the basque in lavender splen-

Down in the marshes the gorgeous
marigold is blooming, and little
later the plums and apples are out
while in your flower beds the modest
lilies of the valley are raising pure
white heads out of the thick cluster
of dark green leaves. Almost be-
fore you know it you find some morn

EI TIL. BRUTE!

Illinois passed a fine cluster of
lemons to President Taft but that
didn't matter as he was expecting
about that dish of fruit in the sucker
state.
Hardly had he become slightly ac-
customed to the acid when he was
handed sponge with vinegar on it
by the New York delegation.
That's where "Et tn, Brute!'
comes in and gets on the job.
Taft expected better things from
New York. He had carefully re-
vised the vitriolic address of one
Butler and looked to see the conven-
ton stand on its head and shout
Taft when that speech was deliv-
cred.
This the convention refused to do.
On the contrary it backed away
and refused to instruct itself for any
one.
And it is taken to mean: That
New York, looking upon itself as the
United States. wants to dictate the
national platform at Chicago.
The state convention simply served
notice. to-wit: 'sMr. President,
please see to it that we are permit
ted to write the platform or there
may be something doing not your
liking. See?"
Where upon can you blame the
Mr.. President for saying: ''Et tn
Brute!"
And with reason for Mr.. Howard
I. has gone out of his way and into
the way of the people more than
once to accommodate New York.
And this is the way New York re-
pays him.
There may be CLEAN of light IN
this for the progressives but there
is little of comfort for the people
provided New York wins and actual
ly writes the platform. Look out
for that.

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES.

Something doing at home and
abroad.
Its dead day on the Redwood
when some ambitious son of a dis
trict doesn't jump into the guberna-
torial ring and crow.
The latest to perform this athletic
stunt is L. G. Spooner of whom this
column has once or twice made men,
ton.
Don't make any mistake about this
man Spooner. He's the brainiest of
them all. Dominant. forceful. far
seeing. courageous. bad man in a
scrap, a good man to. let have his
own sweet way.
He broke into politics late but
when he broke in he took the whole
blamed fence along with him and he
has his district worshipping at his
feet because Of the things he has
actually done. Spooner is a Moham-
med in politics. He says: Follow
me and do as say or by the eternal,
I'll break your head"
So he makes converts.
It's safe bet that if elected gov
ernor Spooner would be governor.
When any one slips collar on him
it'll be DANCED dark night.
It's also a safe bet that he won't be
governor. In spite of his brains and
accomplishments and eloquence he
can't make friends while he can make
enemies and bitter ones, at the drop
of the hat.
Spooner comes from the Seventh,
along with Sam Gordon and natur-
ally he will split this district. Not
only is he from the Seventh but he
is from the 57th senatorial district,
which is also Mr.. Gordon's district.
See some fight ahead?

Spooner comes the withdrawal of

Thel auditor may have expected
people to fall over themselves in
their eagerness to pledge him sup
port. If SO he is now wiser and
somewhat sadder.
Failing to secure the recognition
he craved Weaver wisely withdrew.
This was the most sensible thing he
could do as at no time did ne have
any more chance of landing the NOM
lination than a celluloid dog has of
catching an asbestos cat in hades.

/ ing rose bud and June roses are
here. There is one spring flower
not to be forgotten, one we mean in
addition to the lady slipper. and that
lis the tiger lily. You remember it:
dark red torn with black, tawny and
gaudy and dominant.
OF all of these flowers each one of
us has a preference. Tell us the
j flower you like best and We will tell
you a good many things about your
self. Is it the anemone? Then you
are real loyer of nature, not one
that talks it, but one that has it in
his heart of hearts. To such a one
the yellow primrose is something
more than just a primrose. Depend
upon it you can hold in sacred trust
the friendship of the man or woman
whose favorite flower is the anemone.
Is it the blood root? All. me, it is
the blood root to a great many and
this speaks terrible weakness in
the mind or soul Of the admirer.
The blood root is born to die, it fades
as you pluck it. So its lovers are
fair weather people, crushed, dispir-
tied, doomed by adverse fortune.
On the other hand, is it the tiger
lily? These are the dominant folk.
Loving show and display and willing
to fight for them. The big. far
reaching, hard working, tireless.
never discouraged men and women
admire the tiger lily.
Is it the snowy trillium? All, then
you love purity, truth, and may be
as close to the great god Pan as the
anemone worshipper. 1t is fine to
have the snowy trillium for your
favorite; it gives you confidence in
yourself and robs your mind of carp
ing criticism.
Then we come to the wild rose peo-
pie. No gaudiness here. no display,
no petal piled on petal, no falseness,
no uncertainty. no deceit. Deli
cately tinted of the morning light,
pearl decked and in rare and match
less perfume whispering of a uni
verse of beauties the wild rose blows,
an emblem of simplicity, of perfec-
ton in nature, of sublime and unat-
tainable beauty. The blood of all
the worlds heroes pants its petal
paled with the tears of women and
children. The rose you gather is
young as the days light and old as
all the ages. 1t bloomed long ago !
when the first rude savage paused to
see in its crimson the blood of his
murdered enemy; it greeted the
exiles from the Garden; it was in the
promised land before the children
of Israel; and it waited on the shores
of the new world for the coming of T
the Discoverer. The wild rose of
the long ago was the wild rose of to-
day. 1t has been always simply it.
self.
And its admirers? In their hearts
they know what they are and we
leave them with the object of their
