WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN ? Ia re Lorimer.

The Bull Moose says, "I did It." 13

there anything on earth that the

Bull Moose hasn't done?

He refused to eat at the Hamilton Club with Lorimer. Ergo HE did it. Then Mr. Hearst says, "J did it."

Mr. Hearst is another man who is responsible for all the uplifts, all the

social and economic revolutions in

the world et cetera.

Then the Chicago Tribuno. IT did

it.

In the meantime if there is anyone else who did it, let him wash his face

part his hair and have his picture

taken.

THE POOR, SLANDERED HOBO. If there is any one type of Ameri

can which the public thinks it knows

accurately it is the tramp, otherwise the hobo. Long has he been cata

logued as a fugitive from work, soap and water, fleeing from one end of

the country to the other on freightcar brake-rods, for fear that they will overtake him. The farmer reaches for his pitchfork when he appears and the country schoolboy flees in terror when he encounters him asleep under a wayside tree. But, according to E. R. Lewis, division superintendent of the Michigan Central Railroad, this i3 all a mistake. He says the hobo Is the best railroad laborer than can be found. "There Is life and energy in a gang of hoboes that Is difficult to detect In any other class of track !o.borers," he declares. "The hobp'can be reasoned with. He is an. intelligent, independent, working unit. He i3 good in emergencies where European laborers prove to be quitters." Here, indeed, i3 joy for the enthusiastic worker in the social uplift movement. But it is to be feared that the public will not be satisfied of the correctness of Mr. Lewis' conclusions until he has shown moving pictures of real tramps, actually at work and showing that they like it.

DEFENDS THE HOBBLE. Men who have been hurling scorn, ridicule and even profanity upon the hobble skirt as a predisposer to knockknees had better take a squint at their own legs and ask themselves the famous question, "How do I stand?" About eighty-eight per cent of them will find that they have legs that look either like a pair of calipers or an animated letter X, according to a doctor in a certain medical society very strong on ethics, who is the defender, admirer and approver of the hobble skirt. This defamed garment, he avers, is the greatest leg straightener in the whole gamut of women's toggery and it ill behooves a man who walks as though he were astride a barrel, nr whose knees hammer together at

f Ir-v FOR THE EM i DAY

THE ETERNAL. Trust the Eternal when the shadow icrtber, Whn Joys of daylight seem so like a dreamt God, the unchanging, pities like a father. Trust on, and wait, the daystar yet will fcleam. Trust the Eternal, for the clouds that vanish No more can move the , mountain from their base. Than sin's Illusive wreaths of mist can banish Light from His Throne or loving from His fare. Trust the Eternal, oh, repent la meekness Of that heart's pride which frowns and wtU not yield. Then to thy chtld heart shall come strength In weakness. And thine Immortal life shall be revealed." William P. MrKensie.

every step, to pose as a critic of women who hide their suspected pecularities beneath the scanty folds of the abbreviated hobble. Bowlegged or knockkneed men outnumber the women in the proportion of seven to one, is the scientific Verdict of a man who has in some mystic manner provided himself with the statistics of this fascinating subject. The doctor, however, admits that the sheath gown 13 too open to criticism to make adequate defence possible.

THE LORIMER CASE. Lorimer and Lorimerisra are two different things. The senate in expelling Lorimer struck at LorimerIsni. It was Lorimerism that deserved to be hit. It was the system, rather than the man, against which this two years attack has been made. Lorimer is finer than some of his detractors ever could be. Lorimer is one of the most affable, best tempered, biggest heartea men in the entire state of Illinois. He is said never to have gone back on a friend. His word is his bond. His career, In most respects, is one that may be pointed t with pride. He is one of nature's noblemen. But Lorimerism is an entirely different proposition. Lorimerism hid behind the skirts of Lorimer. It represents all that is undesirable in politics. Lorimer did not personify Lorimerism. He concealed it. Apparentl the man was all a politician should be. He was the highest type of citien. The movement was all it should NOT be. It was an example of the complete perversion of the representative form of government. Men were made and unmade by Lorimerism as a matter of political expediency. Lorimer did not make for good government. It was the means by which government was conducted for the benefit of thoat who governed. A new canon injected Into politics Is: "THE CANDIDATE IS NOT ONLY RESPONSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR HIS OWN ACTS BUT HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE OF HIS FRIENDS AND POLITCAL ASSOCIATES WHO MAY BE WORKING IN HIS INTERESTS. IF A POLITICAL OFFICE BE PURCHASED IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHO PURCHASES IT. NO HONORABLE MAN MAY PROFIT BY THE CUPIDITY OF HIS FRIENDS."

MR. GA9RFIELD RIGHT. The Grand Rapids Press savn-

"Jimmy R. Garfield, one of th im

mense crop of Ohio men who ought to be president if only there wer

enough presidencies to go around, has added to the gaiety of things Dolltlcnl

by a remark that was Trips n Ka

serious. He was interviewed in Chi

cago last week on the conflict between

lart, and Roosevelt. Asked what h

thought about it, the Ohio man who

ought to be president if there were enough presidencies to go around.

rubbed his chin reflectively and after due deliberation said: 'I think the re

public will continue'."

Mr. Garfield Is certainly right, the

republic will continue and no matter who is elected be he democrat or republican nothing can stoo the for

ward march of our country and just

ten that to your pessimistic friend

who thinks that things are fast going

to tne dogs. He was dead. Dryden (Ont.) Ob

server and Star. Quite so. Onito

lions, and sacrifice thousands of lives

to get such a prize. We think that Mr. Guggenheim is mistaken. Men are taking a different' view of war. With schools everywhere and the daily newspapers reaching the most remote points the people are not like they used to be. In this modern day a different view Ib taken of war. There is less of a disposition to become occupants of early graves to satisfy the whims of rulers, the plays of statesmen or the greed of commercial Interests like Guggenheims. Men are just beginning to realize what it means to kill one another. So, we believe that Mr. Guggenheim la mistaken. The next war that this country enters into will have to have a pretty good pretext for its existence and a war for commercial expansion would attract but mercenaries.

IT IS A FARCE. No. one questions, from private conversation, but a good majority of the house and senate members consider that the primary law is a bunco game on the people, and the people's interest in it exaggerated and artificially stimulated, but they simply confess lack of nerve to stand by their convictions In the matter.

YOU must remember first of all that Mr. Wilson estimable gentleman that he is, is a rank free trader of the Grover Cleveland type. Grover Cleveland was an estimable gentleman but Great Caesar look what he did to this country.

OUT near Los Angeles, Cal., where women vote, Mrs. Jennie White hit Justice of the Peace Holtz over the head with.a piece of timber when he refused to stop fighting in her restaurant. Rah for the influence of West Hammond.

When you are feeding the baby milk just remember that there are eight million bacteria In a spoonful and that if the milk is impure baby will get all those bacteria and it won't be baby's fault but yours.

OLD Doc Wiley is out for Wilson and Marshall. It must make that Madison editor pretty sore who tried to bust his hamstrings to run old Doc, governor on the republican ticket.

THE political candidates for county office on either ticket haven't found which way they are running yet, but to a casual observer, it seems to be in every direction.

WONDER who will be responsible for the crazy-quilt tariff-for-revenue-only bill that this country will get If Wilson is elected next November, but the Bull Moose?

THE man who thinks President Taffc has horns on him, is generally about three sheets in the wind and his children are running around barefooted.

THE Hammond authorities have ordered the holes in the Hohman street pavement repaired. This Insures their repair some time In 1913 or 1914.

IF your child is bitten by a mad, unmuzled dog you will begin to get busy won't you? Why not get busy before the child is bitten?

THE cry Is on longer, "Shall The People Rule?" It is now, "Can't wa have something good for dinner tonight?"

ED Lee has been stamping around

on his ear for so long that It ia hard

to tell what he will do after November.

HE IS MISTAKEN. The other day when one of th

Guggenheims was about to sal! for

Europe he talked of the commercial

advantages of Alaska. He stated that it was an empire that other na

tions would go to war for, spend mll-

TO change the subject let us get back to that good old query, "What time of the day does a hen lay?"

YOU can never tell just what the job is you know by simply standing there and looking at it.

A GREAT many people keep their promises but only because they are forced to keep them.

POLITICAL parties like churches should settle their differences with

in their own ranks. '

THIS Is the season of the year

when the country relatives are in for it good and proper.

CONGRESS is eager to adlourn.

What's your hurry fellows? Here's your hat!

A LOT of timorous folks who didn't Ilka to say so before are now quite

outspoken that the senate did right In extinguishing Brother Lorimer.

DESPITE the fact that Brother Tom Knotts la democratic and Brother A. P. Bull Moosive you'll have to admit that

the tie between them isn't easily un
