India rubber, gutta percba and sub-

of revenue. The same duty laid
on it that wool bears would bring

than double what would be lost If
wool were free.
But then a duty on crude rubber
might injuriously affect the million-

THE 1/OKIMKR INQUIRY.
At last Senator Lorlmer is ‘‘up
against It.” The senators who voted
to sustain him have heard from their
constituents, and-, are falling over
each other in their effort to be the
first to have a hand in reversing
their action. If there Is any pos-
sibility of determining in advance
the current of events, the ousting
of Lorlmer is a certainty. The sen-
ate will not have to uncover any
njiw evidence. The laying before It
o*f the evidence already taken by it*
former committee and that by the
Helm committee at Springfield will
be enough, though much new evi-
dence will be sought and probably
secured.
The Itoterests which compelled
senators to support Lorlmer will
not. he able to do so again, even if
they are willing to advance 1 he nec-
essary coat. Senators hove their
reputations to protect, and they
jeopardized them to the breaking
point when they sustained him be-
fore. They lost caste everywhere.
The senate itself forfeited mueh of
the respect of. the body of the peo-
ple for being willing to retain in its
membership a man so tainted. Even
now the results arc seen in an at-
tack upon one of them at. a church
convention by his associates who
hold him unfit for leadership -lie-
cause of tils vote.
But the unseating of Loritner
will not be enough. What is wanted
is the uncovering or I he Interests
which put him in and which spent,
the large sums of money known to
have been expended in his defense
and the defense of Browne, Brod-
erick and others. We want to know
how far beyond the limits of Chi-
cago and the state of Illinois spread
the Influences which are corrupting
the election of senators and the
senate itself. We want, to know
the extent of the evil, so that it
may be fought and destroyed. For
this reason thee new investigation
should bo as thorough and as wide
as possible. Lorimer is already
practically convicted. What, we
want now is more light.—The

What Shall We Do to Improve

Cleanliness is a boom to all cities.
About our homes, in our houses as
well as our yards, we should be very
careful. Paper, tin cans, and other
trash scattared about, degrades a
City in the eyes of all. One often
makes the mistake of thinking the
alley is to be used as a garbage
barrel. All manner of rubbish is
often thrown in the alley. This is a
bad and harmful habit.
Healthfulness is what we al1
.crave, and to. have this we must
ihave cleanliness in abundance. We

‘‘Boil the water,” is the injunc-

Dr. Pearsons has practically freed
himself of his entire fortune, $0,01)0,-

with an income of only $0,000 a year
to supply his needs for the rest of
his life. He was ninety-one years old

Chicago, at auction. His health bus

Cooked His Own Meals.
Dr. rearsons was born at Bradford.
Vt, on April 14, 1820, and entered
Dartmouth college as a freshman In
1812. In speaking of bis college ex-
periences he said recently: “I rented
a room In on attic and chopped wood
to pay the rent. I cooked my own
potntoes and johnnyenke, and these
wore tho best meals I ever bad.
Whenever I could afford meat it was
pork, aud I cooked it In a sheet Iron
stove by thrusting It over tho coals
on a poker. 1 live now on the plain-
est food and haven’t touched meat In
five years.”

ticed at Chicopee, Mass., where in
1847 he was married to Miss Marietta
Chapin. Four years Inter the couple
traveled west and located In Chicago,
where Dr. Pearsons became Interested
in real estate. It was from this source
that he accumulated his fortune,
every dollar of which was honestly ac-
quired.

Gives Credit to His Wife.
"It was her idea, this giving of mon-
ey to colleges. She was a keeu busi-
ness woman, and she wanted what
money we had to be spent us wisely as
possible. Therefore we began a ays
tematic study of the regions which
seemed to be most in need of better
fncllltii'3 for the making of citizenship
I have been a hunter after poverty all
my life, and 1 assure you it is not a
hard thing to find even lu America. I
have wanted to give young men the
advantages of education because they
need it and because the country needs
educated young men. If you will no
tice that most of my gifts have been
made to small colleges in poor or
sparsely ROttled regions you will see
what I have been driving at. Eleven
of the colleges which have been bene-
fited, for instance, are situated In the
sonth, and I may say that I have got
more satisfaction out of these gifts
than out of any other.
"I have selected the wilderness be
cause It Is In the wilderness Hint edu
cation is most needed nnd yields Ihe
richest returns on a smnll Investment
I have Investigated the country adja-
cent to nil of these colleges before giv-
ing anything nnd satisfied myself that
the need for assistance was genuine.
It has been my nlm to place a liberal
education within the reach of poor
boys and girls.
“Now that my money has been dis-
tributed I shall watch the seed I have
sown blossom into fruitage. 1 shall
take things easy nnd see the needy
college that I assisted develop Into a
giant. That will come with growth in
population and growth of Interest In
