Strangs Defense for Bribery.
in the senatorial bribery trial in 11
llonols a strange and novel defense
! has been offered. The assertion was
made that Illinois hud no law on Its
statute bonks making It a crime on the
part of a legislator to accept a bribe
for his vote for a United Ktntes Sen
jator. There as In other States, the
election of a senator is made by the
joint houses of the state legislature,
it was urged by the defense that as
'this union of the two bodies Is made
possible by an act of Congress, it Is.
, therefore, something beyond the cog
nizance of the .State; so. whether mon
ey is used or not In procuring the. elec
tion of a candidate, the State cannot
aft. II has no law on Its statute books
, covering such a contingency. Without
‘expressing an opinion of the charges
made in this special case. It Is evident
that a defense based on such conclu
sions Is Immoral in the last degree.
If held to he valid. It would put a
premium on bribery In every state In
the Union in United Stales senator
ial flections. We do not share the
opinion of those who believe that our
political system is a mass of corrup
tion, and that the Senate is the worst
example of the system. That there" is
vote-buying and selling, however, is
unquestionable. The State that deals
the first effective blow to this abuse
w ill establish a much-needed precedent
and render a great public service.—

_ Chance to Save Money.
There is a paper In Texas called

the following apt and sensible para

"There Is hardly an Issue of the

more that the buying public watches

That is true—absolutely true. The

His Slxt y-slxtli Birthday.
Carl Hagenbeck, the world’s gre^t- j
est wild animal trainer and dealer, !
was born In Hamburg, June 10, 1844.1
His father was a tlsherman. who later j
embarked In business as an animal
trainer with a small collection of
seals and a polar bear brought by a ,
whaling expedition from the Arctic I
The father’s venture proved a failure, |
whereupon young Carl, at IS years of
age. took over the outfit and started
out for himself. Thus was commenced
the largest animal business in the
world. Within a few years be had col
lected a fair-sired menagerie and he i
made a business of training the wild
animals for exhibition. With the In- I
crease of the business he sent expedi- l
tions to the wilds of Africa, A«ia and
South America to collect animals. In j
the suburbs of Hamburg he estab
lished a great zoological garden, where:
he keeps his stock In trade, consisting
at times of animals to the value of
$ ri.00fi.000. Nearly 100 trainers and
attendants are employed to look after
the great menagerie, which supplies
circuses and zoological parks all over,
Europe and America.

l ouring ojl on the troubled waters
"ill t.< much more than a metaphor
If a plan offered b ythe 1'nited Ntab
Hydrographic office Is carried out. Its
s. rtous proposal Is to keep the omt.i
between New York and the northern
ID ropaan porta well oiled so th it the
waves rnay be kept down and j fisnen*
giis may cross In perfect com'ort.
The Hydrographic office ho..w* a
lot about wave*, and « latms that n th
ing is so bad for 'em as oil. M< re
over. oil spreads quickly and thinly
the water, and hence the , t! n
lne can be done at small expenso.
A quart of cheap petroleum an hour
for each ship would, they sa... do foe
wirk In decent weather, and 125 per
trip ought to cover It easily. With the
big liners constantly passing, the
carried away by the ocean currents
would he restored without delay.
Maybe some day we shall ha-,. a

while the Hydrographic office Mil

sb rm of ridicule which this plan it
theirs has awakened. Veteran ea, -

Senatorial Industry.
«>11 the Senate Military Committee
Senator Warm devours work as though
he relished It; he often remains In
his room at the Capitol until pHst
midnight.
"Why do you work so hard?" he la
asked.
“Have you no pride In your work?**
Is the reply, as the busy man looks
up under the green shade that he wears
to relieve hla eyes, an he dives Into a,
mass of papers. "When you wish to
do everythin* Just rlftht, it becomes a
matter of pride as well as of con
science."
After spending the afternoon at the
sessions, many of the senators work
late Into the night In order to finish
up work on the various committees.
The assiduous attendance of sena
tors at the meetings of the various
committees consumes enough time to
baffle even an Industrious man. Long
hours of plain, hard work are essen
tial—and no pay for overtime. Senator
Halley paid a deserved tribute to hla
Republican colleague* when he Insist
ed that the Senate ought not to con
vene until 2 o’clock, to give members
time to complete their committee work
in the morning and enable them to
attend the session.—Joe Mitchell

From the Chicago News.
While a prominent Philadelphia
salesman was In Pittsburg on business
he received the following telegram
from hlr wife: “Come Home as soon
[»s you can; 1 am dying!" Of course,
the salesman ruaht home, but to be
greeted at the front door by his, wife
with a face radiant with Joy. “Why,
[ thought you were dying?” he said.
She shook her head In reply.
"Well, why did you send me such a
telegram, then?"
“It was that crazy old operator,"
*he said. “I wanted to say: ‘Com*

to see you,” but he would only let
