Possibly Lorimer is no worse than some others in the senate - possibly he used only means that have Seen used in the past. But, be that ' as It may. it Is hUh time that, such methods were frowned' upon and men who adopt them cease the practice, That the nation Is reaching a cli max of either a more purified politi cal condition, or a climax that means sterner conflict between classes and interests no one can doubt if he will Unt observe carefully tlie events of the past two years. Old practices in politics must go. But In the going will they be succeed ed by better mcthoilsT Surely ao. intelligent as wo all know the Ameri an people to be. there can bo little doubt that better conditions will pre vail when the sonrrhliglit of publicity k turned upon the dark corners. Acts of 25 years ago politically are looked upon now as criminal. , The day was when results were all that counted, whon poople ceased to light when nominations were made, no matter by what process, but that day has gone, and we believe forever. It will be many years before any Illinois man will try to be United States senator through the same meth ods as Lorimer. adopted. The ousting of this man baa thrown fear Into oth ers. On the other hand, every reform carries its multiplicity of cranks and hair bralnn. While a re form movement Is in progress look out for the men who are incapable- and insincere M tbey climb board the band wagon and shout. But the crank will evotually pass away fcerause o lack of ability and lack of sincerity. Then, If tho people con tinue to be vifilfcnt-.Uio result of worth will come from, tho action ot the senate In expelling Lorimer, for the rank wilt then be out of the running and good men will be . In eharge who acquire office through Honorable methods. thing In Collier's Weekly that one can say amen to. It has muckraked and fussed and scolded so ton;, that to read It one expects to find aorae thing that will cause him to doubt his fellow man. Here is a little paragraph that strikes us as being extra good. Read It: If all the promises of the candi dates came true, If alt the planks of the various platforms became laws, thev would not accomplish as mueu for the Individual welfare of any man as he hlnwelf can effect by the exer cise of qualities within the circum ference of bis own character. The men who suffer In the cities from the hleh cost of their uselessly complicat ed living could permanently improve their lot by a throe days walk straight Into the country, and by the deter mination to endure the temporary In conveniences of readjustment. The last is the part that takes character. The Immigrants who crossed the sea had to have much more. Any able- bodied man with durable qualities of character can tomorrow drop off the railroad at any one of a thousand sta tions west of the Mississippi, within an hour have work at enough pay to save half of It, within five years own a piece of land, and within 20 years have a comfortable home, with chll-1 dren In the local state university. If j very large number of men should I adopt this program, the aggregate would accomplish more to remedy our economic maladjustments than any statesman can. !
