Another Revolution

The Indlanian made it clear to the men who are seeking to rush the job ot whitewashing William Lorimer and to purify his title aa United States senator that he would not sign the report drafted for hia signature and that of the other member of the senate committee on privileges and elections. He announced he had not yet had opportunity to complete reading the testimony, and he did not propose to take sides at this point, lest he should be embarrassed in any comments he might want to make either in an indivdiual report or in remark upon the floor of the senate. To put it briefly Mr. Bevertdge has not made up his mind what he will do and will not do so until he is familiar with all the facts. No one realize more the personal consequences of participation in such a scandal, especially when a man ot clean record, the unfaltering courage, and the high Ideals of the Indiana senator prepares to investigate it. The course of Mr. Bevertdge had an Immediate and important result. It became apparent instantly that the report as drafted could not stand before the battery of arguments which the Indianlan could discharge against it If be should become so disposed. Senator Burrows, chairman of the committee had written a jreport. He was ably assisted by Senator Bailey of Texas and a few others whose support of Lorimer never has been questioned. John Callan O'Laughlin, special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune.

Many of us hoped that the supply of whitewash had given out In the Ballinger case. But those who even spend a day or two at the New Willard in Washington catch the spirit of the place and it Is the spirit of the place which Is hard for the people living in more decent and invigorating atmosphere of the west to grasp. We cannot for the life of us quite realize that the senate of the United States is tiled with men who do not represent their constituents. They may be called Democrats or Republicans. But once you are In Washington the illusion vanishes. There Is a crowd over at that table there. Three senators of the United States you look again and who are those men with them? "Why that Is the attorney for the railway; the man on his right is who la Interested in water power sites. "Both of those men furnished the money for the election of those senators. One of their bills Is coming up next week. And then the line In Gray's Elegy, "The applause of listening senates to command." becomes a huge and tragic joke. No wonder Americans say: "Money talks."

Tou remember the long deadlock Lorimer's election by the buying of Tribune was instrumental in getting u remember the Browne episode ?

There Is no doubt in anyone's mind that Lorimer's seat was bought. It has been proved. Four men confessed.

The confession of four men was not enough for the committee of the senate. ( Burrows, Bailey, Depew, Bulkeley, Heyburn. Burrows of Michigan, a political history of whose legislature would reveal corruption. Bailey of Texas and his connection with Standard Oil. Depew whose insurance record was uncovered by Hughes as a beneficiary of corruption. One legislator told how he was paid for voting for Depew. Bulkeley ot Connecticut a state which has just its Btate legislature in numbers on the ground that it will take more money for the railroads to control the state. Heyburn who was uncovered in the Ballinger case and in connection with land frauds.

These are the men who sit In judgment on the case of Lorimer.

any wonder that we have whitewashing? And therefore: "The course of Mr. Beveridge had an immediate and Important result."

Tou may say that that Is only what any honest man would do. Well, you may look in Cicero and find a quotation about the "Senate sees the Senate hears." How about the American phrase "Money talks."

It Is only necessary to say that either representative or the men who been carefully selected for service on there seems to be something either And those who have even a speaking tell you it Is usual.

It is sgaln that the deflniniton of the Insurgent movement by the Philadelphia North American comes to mind. "Insurgency is th combined honesty and decency of th American popl." It was Beveridge ot Indiana who has forced them all against the wall by refusing to put bis signature to a lie which concealed an admitted fraud. There is hope for the American people while this is going on. The encouragement is simply that the things are found out and exposed and that they do not lie dormant a a commonplace. Bevertdge ha done well this part ot hi record is the same as the former. It is the same thing. It would be easy to sit quietly by, doing nothing. "Politics has come to be the art of making friends" the oily smile, the handshaking trick the compromise and the whisper are all a part of the trick. The time baa come when men who are decent and honest are disregarding party for he is the best partisan who cleans out his-own party first. We in Indiana know that a senator about to be if nothing happens charged another senator with having purchased a seat. Room 42 was it? We do not know. But if these things are beginning to be taken up as the Lorimer case has all the earmarks of being uncovered it marks a new era toward representative government which has not been equalled since the Norris resolution which took the power away from Cannon.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

WHAT AHE TOlfVoRTIT How much are you worth commercially in dollars and cents? It Is said of some people that they ere "worth their weight In gold," which commercially Is not true. Estimated in the weight of the average person, that would make about $31,000. Your body certainly is not worth that much. Analyze it In the first place, the average body contains at least nine gallons of water, and water in that quantity has no value commercially. There is enough lead in your body to make a big pile of lead pencils if you could get at It. And there Is enough phosphorus to make a good many boxes of matches, but not enough to pay a chemist to separate it. And, though you may lack considerably in being the "salt of the earth." there are in your body at least six ounces of salt. There is also sugar, a pound or so. depending upon how fat you are. Literally the fattest are the sweetest. Besides, there are a little soda and other ingredients, sufficient perhaps to make a good sized bar of soap. And that is all, except the gas, of which there is enough in you to fill a fair sized balloon. In short, you are bankrupt. Physically you are mostly water and gas, neither of which is of value in the market place. Instead of being worth your weight in gold $31,000 you are scarcely worth your weight in dust. What are you worth? Whatever your real wealth may be, It resides in the mental and moral qualities that you possess. That Is all. Except under slavery your body is commercially worthless. And yet men sometimes sell themselves. What do they sell? Not their bodies. They sell their souls. How much are you worth mentally? You may be worth millious, because all things are youre mentally. No man can keep you out of an intellectual fortune. How much are you worth morally? Whatever you choose to be. You may make yourself of untold value morally or worthless, depending absolutely upon yourself. What are you worth? FALSE PROPHETS. Not long ago one locomotive on the Pennsylvania railroad hauled 120 steel cars full of coal. It was the heaviest load ever hauled by a locomotive. The train was a mile and a quarter long, and each car contained. fifty tons of coal 100.000 pounds. That Is to say, the locomotive pulled a load of 12.000,000 pounds. And this, mind you, is not counting the weight of the heavy steel cars. The full weight of the cars is estimated at 5,000,000 pounds. So that 'this machine, invented and perfected by human minds, dragged 17,000,000 pounds behind it. Now Had such a feat been predicted in the time of Pericles the wise would have said not even can one of the gods on Olympus do that In the day of Columbus such a prophecy would have been a joke. Even a hundred years ago? Why, when the first locomotive ran on its rails scientists said it might be a sort of toy, but was impractical. They said no human could travel at the terrific rate of twenty-five miles an hour without disintegrating and flying into bits. Again, they Bald if trains were run at that speed it would be necessary to build strong stone walls on both sides of the track, else persons who stood by the passing trains would be killed by the rush of air. Others said It may be possible to transport light stuff by steam power in this way, but heavy stuff would need to be carried on the canals or by horse teams. They said it! If some of those scientific wiseacres could have seen that mile and a quarter of coal cars or ride on that sixty mile an hour train that goes from Chicago to New York In eighteen hours! They were false prophets. Therefore let us not be too wise in our day and generation. When men speak of fighting future battles in midair or of talking to people on Mars or of the things that sound fanciful to us let us not be altogether faithless. And above all Let us be careful about making prediction of failure lest even in our owa day we be proved false prophets. Th Justinian Cxje. The Justinian code was, as the name Implies, a compilation and rearrangement of existing laws rather than a body of new laws. Justinian's commission authorizing the work was given A. D. 52S. To the code the emperoradded the pandects, the institutes and the novels. These compilations were known as the Corpus Juris ClTiles, or body of civil law. The Justinian code is still the basis of all French law, and many of Its principles are even to this day operative in tho state of Louisiana. New York American.

ON SEEING MURILLO'S

PITT! GALLERY, FLORENCE, ITALY. Tresses of dusky night, waving above a brow " Smooth and unmarked by the rough hand of Time. Smiling red lips and soft cheeks, gently glowing With tints of a sea shell, in color, sublime. Ah, but the eyes that look out at me, hauntingly, Byes dark and tender, deep wells filled with tears. Sadness lies hidden behind their fringed curtalnings. Lifted in, longing, for peace-laden years. Do they gaze into the mists of futurity. When the world's sorrows, its cares and Its strife Shall burden the Little One, clasped there so lovingly, Near the fond mother-heart, pulsing with life? Or do they see the gaunt shadow of destiny. As the cross looms on the brow of the hill; Thorn-laden head, and the exquisite agony, A cry and her cherished Son, pale faced and still? What e'er it be, oh fairest of womanhood. That brings a faint cloud to those star eyes, 60 pure. Soon it must lift, in the radiance reflected From life with Divinity, safe, and secure. Look from your canvas, throughout all the coming years, Plead with sad hearts, by sin oft beguiled. Touching the chord that is vibrant with sympathy, ' Draw them to you, and the Holy Christ-child. Bertha Grace Robie.

t DUTY OF UNIONISTS. One of the most Important du- J ties devolving upon men and women who join a trade union $ is too frequently neglected at tendance at their union meet -atings. This is a serious matter, more so than appears at first glance. Only by Intelligent support can an organization assume a position its due. This is not given when to a mlnroity Is intrusted the plenary power of acting and speaking for all. Union meetings need the attendance of the rank and file. The business considered is serious. It deals with the welfare of the home and the most vital relations of the employee and the employer. Collective bargaining should represent a real majority. Attend all union meetings. ! KHHSMaMMl HATTERS TRIUMPHANT. Win a Notable Victory After Long and Bitter Struggle. After n strike which lasted many months, eost large sums of money and entailed untenable hardships on, union hatters in three or four states of the Union the members of the United Hatters of North America have gained nearly all they contended for. Almost the last citadel of the enemy has capitulated to the organization. The trouble originated in Boston in 1908. In that year the Boston Hatters' union presented to the Guyer Hat company of that city a new wage scale, which the company refused to accept. The case was then referred to the national arbitration board, composed of members of the Manufacturers' association and representatives of the United Hatters' organization. The award of the board was largely in favor of the union, and the Guyer Hat company refused to abide by it. Believing It could escape the award and make a better fight against the union by moving Its plant to Philadelphia, the company did this and sought to make an agreement with the Philadelphia union. That union, however, stood by the United Hatters as a matter of course, and the company was forced to either conduct a nonunion factory or surrender to the union. It chose the former course, and the Manufacturers association decided to sup-( port It in the stand it took, and the general strike and lockout followed. The company has not been able to run its plant or conduct its business successfully under nonunion conditions -and has made a complete surrender to the union. Its factory will hereafter be a union factory, and ail its products will bear the union label. The victory of the hatters la one of the greatest organized labor in this country has ever won. It demonstrates to the world that union labor Is invincible In the long run when it stands together and acts unitedly in attack or defense. Minnesota Union Advocate. Gompers Welcomes Negroes. President Gompers, denying the statement that he was opposed to negroes in trade unions, said: "There are about 8,000,000 negroes, and I not only have not the power to put the negroes out of the labor movement, but I would not even if I did have the power. Why should I do such a thing? I would have nothing to gain, but the movement would have much to lose. Under our policies and principles we seek to build up the labor movement instead of injuring it. and we want all the negroes we can possibly get who will join bands with organized labor." German Labor Legislation. "Germany has passed labor legislation," said Dr. Albert Sudekum, a member of the German reichstag, "prohibiting women working from 8 In the evening to C in the morning; providing a ten hour day limit and an hour for lunch; giving women but eight honrs' labor a day before a na tlonal holiday. Recent laws Insure against sickness, accidents In factories, old age and inability. Next will come Insurance for every widow and orphan in the empire." The cost of traveling by rail In Russia Is much less than in the United States, and the danger of accidents Is reduced to a minimum by the fact that the trains do cot run at great speed, averaging about twenty-five miles an hour for the main lines and twenty miles on the branches.

" METEORIC DUST. fVa Invisible but Constant Shower of Tiny Hollow Steel Ball. aieteorlc dust is composed of minute hollow spheres of steel that look under the microscope like leaden shot. They are infinitely finer than grains of sand. Their origin is Interesting. Meteors, or shooting stars as they are generally called, have from the beginning of things been bombarding the ' world at a rate estimated by the highest authority at many thousands an hour. Owlug to the earth's protecting envelope of air very few of these missiles reach us. In size meteor vary from a few ounces to many pounds In weight, and It is only very occasionally that one is of sufficient dimension to survive the passage of 80 to 100 mllos through an atmosphere increasing In density as the earth is approached. The speed at which they enter the atmosphere, calculated at not less than thirty-five miles a second, generates such Intense heat by friction that the Iron of which the meteor principally consists is immediately reduced to an Incandescent vapor, which Is the luminous train so frequently seen in the heavens on a clear night. The vapor rapidly cool and condenses in the form of these minute particles, which assume the spherical form, as does shot during its fall from the top of a tower. Finally the little sphere are scattered toy the wind and currents in the upper region and gradually descend in their millions aa an invisible but never ending shower. The perfect condition in which the spheres are fouud is due to the presence of certain noncorrosive elements found by analysis to be present in the metal of meteors which have com to earth. These little sphere can be found in almost any sample of dust particles where it has collected in sheltered recesses or hollows, as in the gutter, on the housetop or round the roots of old trees and dry ditches. They may be readily gathered by a magnet and when mounted form an interesting object for the microscope. Chicago News.
