STILL A SENATOR

There is a member of the senate a man con- victed by jury of his equals of the crime buying with money the toga that he Senator Truman H. Newberry was found guilty in federal court of violating the corrupt practices act in that it al leged thousands and thousands of dollars spent in highly questionable manner for his election.
 Newberry is still senator although a federal declared that he must spend two years in a federal Jail.
 The American people have been tolerant of the senates delays since Newberry's conviction. It has recognized that the senate engaged with matters of international moment and later that senators were busy with election affairs.
 Now it will demand that Newberry's seat he de- clared vacant His in the senate is rebuke to every honest senator be he Republican or Demo- crat.
 The Republican senate may be expected to con- of its first acts when it reconvenes the cleaning of its house

Many of us will learn with qualms of the stomach. from proceeding before the Interstate Commerce Commission, that Chinese queues pig tais are an important factor in the manufacture of commercial soups being used strainers. This a trade secret which think it would have been profitable for the manufacturers not to have vealed The users hair for this purpose could better have afforded to pay the old freight rates. Whatever concession may be allowed them in l. c. C. order will hardly offset the falling away for time at least of the demand soups in consequence of this revealment
 We do not believe that the soups were the for tbis treatment On the contrary there has been an improvement fin the quality of commercial soups since the fall of the Manchu dynasty since which event the Chinese have had for the queue an adornment and which therefore became available in quantities which warranted their in the man ufaetr1re of soups Previous to that time soup man ufacturers were forced other for the clari foation of their products
 To those of us who take broader view of the incidents which mark the upper progress of the world, the application for lower freight rate on Chinese hair reveals more concrete effect of the fall of the i,nastv than the mere spread of Republicanism and the conformation of the Chinese to western and supposedly, Christian customs

There will be agreement with Admiral Benson Of the shipping board that in organization of such magnitude. whose operations involved the expendi- ture billions. it inevitable that there should be some wrong-doing for which he says the board Is willing to assume responsibility. and therefore. invites investigation. The charges which the com .rnittea report dIscloses are not Some of them were made more than two years ago and through 1t alL the board contented itself with silence denial T would have been better if the board at that time any time before congress took the matter up had looked into the charges of doing which the admiral says now were inevitable The very inevit- ableness of 1t should have made the, board alert The American public as a whole is fair-minded. It is not prone prejudge condemn. It is willing withhold judgment until the other side be heard. The action of the committee, as we have previously pointed out, is robbed of partisan char by holding back the until after the ton. It could have had ulterior purpose ing it public since.
 It is proper that the people should know what their public servants have with the money that poured in on them through taxation processes; that they should now whether these servants have false the trust reposed in them; that they should know whether private firms or persons have been permitted to profit criminaly from the public treasury.
 Thus far the public has been taken into confi- dence only to general charges. The ship ping board Is left in unfavorable light It and ' the public entitled to a bill of particulars The accused. if they with their consciences, should insist the publication of the details of the charges that they may know what they called upon to dsprove or admit The shipping board it. self is inferentially only of criminal negli- gence incapacity. It should also insist upon a bin of particulars
 To call traitor is the worst thing that can L be said about him. The law regards the traitor as
 the most heinous of offenders. Treachery may con- sist in taking against the government or only of obstructing the government in a time oi That is what the charges in the congressiona committees report amount to. and for that reason
 if for no other. the facts alleged should be laid be
 fore the public at the earliest possible moment.

Forest Park


 Why wait until Saturday or Sunday night for your party at Forest Park True the merrymaking of the week reaches its height on these two nights, but the music furnished by Toft's novelty orchestra led by Earl Burtnett is of the same superfine quality every night of the week, and then many peo- pie feel that dancing is really more en- joyable on other nights than the two on which the crowd is so huge.
 Why not plan a family party for to- night? Then after the swim the whetted appetites will be ready for supper under the trees. A new cafe with excellent service and delicious food can supply this. After supper there will be the merry -go-round and a little later the 10000 pounds of jazz harmony will begin in the ball room. Here, too, family parties may be as- sured of 9 quiet refined atmosphere, for that is the fervent desire of the management Lovely dances also will be given by Olive Ann Alcorn and sweet little songs by Charlotte Dawn.
 Everything worth while in the amusement line is to the policy of the park straight through the summer.
