Congress meets next week, and then we will have something else to worry about. , We have heard of three candidates | for mayor. Either of whom would make a good one. Under the circumstances, we do not believe we would care to be a member of the new winding-up com mission. The Missouri senate assembly passed a bill prohibiting dram shops from being licensed, except in incop porated towns. "You can't throw a stone now in Indiana without hitting a spring poet," says an exchange. The South Carolina crop seems to he short. It is dollars to doughnuts that Col. Felder will not submit his testi mony to the new winding-up commis sion. Tlie Colonel will prefer to use his slusb gun at long taw. Senator LaFollette will lead the fight on the war game going on on the Mexican border. He will under take to show that Wall street in spired tbe mobilization of the troops. Because Jose-ph Plummer, of Mil ,ton, N. If., was prevented by his fath er from marrying the woman of his choice he remained 40 years in bed. He is the meanest kind of a coward Col. Roosevelt says Arizona was not given a square deal in being .denied statehood because of certain -provisions in its proposed constitu tion, vre think he is right about that. ?In a speech at Albuquerque, N. M., Col. Roosevelt denounced Sena tor Lorinier, of Illinois, and former Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. He said they were both unfit to hold office. , Henry Watterson says if Sweet William Lorimer Is going to attempt to live up to his canonization by the United States senate how Is he to avoid resigning his seat in that body instanter? Our honest opinion is that Col. Felder is engaged in a game of hot air, anf. hat we have heard about all that we are going to hear about that grand ei:pose that he says he will pull off soon. Await results, and see how near we have read the fu ture. The Spartan burg Journal, which is an independent newspaper politically, says "just watch Joe Bailey and see If he hands in another resignation. Jo seph is a lame duck in the Democrat ic party, although he can talk with the tongue of men and angels and then vote to seat Lorimer." The Mexican system of practical dictatorship is not favorable to the development of governing talent. There s.re only half a dozen mfm in Mexico whose names are faml iar t?i most Americans. Many of Lhc new Cabinet appointees are not known bere. Wonder if the investigating .busi ness will ever come to an end? Tho new winding up commission will in vestigate the old winding-up com mission, and. no doubt, a committee of the legislature will later on in vestigate the doings of the new wind ing-up commission, and so it goes. A Ciiicago dispatch to the Denver Times says "Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri is a candidate for president. He 'admitted' today he would make a good candidate This is the way he put it: "Well the Democratic party might go further and fare worse?and I think it will." The Sumter Daily Item says: "Col. Felder either has the proof on the Governor and knows that the lattet dares not risk an airing of the dis pensa;"y graft scandal in the courts, or is playing a bold hand to bluff those who began the attack on him.' If it is a bluff game, Gov. Blease has called it by vetoing the bill Col. Fel der sjiid the Governor would have to sUn or be exposed. Th-:- Boston Journal says: "When Co1od?I Bryan paid his first .'sit 13 Bostca he was regarded by the east in general as a dangerous agitato.. Now be is welcomed as a leader oi a movement which to a large ex tent has abolished party lines and done away with the ultra-conserva tism which brooked no concessions to Hbenil ideas. He has not been suc cessful as a candidate for the presi dency, but he has seen the movement which he did so much to start he come the dominant force In Ameri can politics." That is the confession of a Republican newspaper. Gone Out of Date. The New York World says there is in progress in Moatclair a "moth ers' movement" agaiust the "menace of the moving-picture show." The town authorities have been over whelmed with letters from corre spondents protesting 'as mothers and residents" against licensing these forms of amusement as "harmful and detrimental," and the agitation has been taken up by the women's clubs and eclectic societies. There was once a generation of mothers who would not have found it necessary to appeal to the Town Council for the protection of their children's morals. They would have 'aid down the law at home and it would have been obeyed, with a full realization of the consequences that would follow its violation. The do mestic flat would have gone forth and that would have been the end of the matter. The mothers of the old-fashioned type would have resented any delega tion of maternal authority to a mu nicipal body. They knew and exer-: cised their powers of home control and jealously guarded them. They decided how their children should amuse themselves, and woe to tht youngster who disregarded their in structions! Is the old race of moth ers extinct, and with them the home restraint of children? It does look as if the old race 01 mothers have gone out of date. But it is an easy matter to remedy the vicious moving picture show. There are moving pictures and niovini pic tures. Some are rood and some are vicious. To protecs the children from the vicious picture is easy enough. See that the people who operate the show are good people and will ex hibit no vicious pictures. Then your children are safe. Without reflecting on any others, wa take pleasure in saying that -Mr. dambati, who runs ? he Theato in this city, has all of his pictures censored before they are shipped to him. See his advertise ment in another column. Exit the Old Guard. When Congress adojurned some weeks ago there disappeared from the senate a few men who have stood consistently for fhe interests of the people, and a large number who closed their public careers of spokes-1 men for the trusts and robber cor porations by voting to whitewash and retain William Lorimer in the sena torial seat he occupies. To the "old guard" the sound of the gavel of the vice president strik ing his. desk as the hands of the clock pointed to midday resembled the thud of earth falling upon the political coffins of their departed leaders and comrades. The list of men relegated to oblivion includes: Nelson W. Aldrich, ?f Rhode Isl and. Morgan G. Buikeley, of Connecti cut. Julius C. Burrows, of Michigan. Thomas H. Carter, of Montana. Chauncey M. Depew, of New York. Charles Dick, of Ohio. Frank P. Flint, of California. Eugene Hale, of Maine. John Kean, of New Jersey. Samuel H. Pilea, of Washington. (Nathan B. Scott, of West Virginia. With the exception of Aldrich, all if the above men voted for Lorimer's ' ?etention in the senate. Aldrich J vould have done so had he been in rVashington, being Lorimer's "bell vether." Another batch or bunch or jroup will retire next year. Mew and better men will take the )laces of these i ingsters, who have ' >een sent to the rear by the people. 1 \. change is coming over the country, t may take a split in both parties to iring it. but it it; coming, and, wich t, is coming relief for the peopie rom the oppressions of the tan it )arons, who have been plundering hem for many >?ars. We look fcr ' jreat things from the Congress that s soon to assemble. The people are ?oming to their own. Gave Senator Cullom a Slap. Mount Morris College, at Oregon, , 11., Senator Shelby M. Cullom's alma nater, has turned its Cullom pictuie o the wall. An Oregon dispatch to he Chicago Tribune says: "The stu lents and faculty In a mass meeting, , imid unusual : ^enes, unanimously i idopted the following resolutions: Inasmuch as Senator Lorimer was ipparently elected to his present of ice through bribery and therefore not rightly entitled to his seat in the United States senate, and inasmuch is the attitude of Senator Cullom had much to do with the vote allowin? Senator Lorimer to hold his seat, and inasmuch as civic progress is serious ly hindered and political corruption greatly augmented by Senator Lori mer continuing in office, and (inas much as Senatcr Cullom was once a student of the Rock River seminary, aow Mount Mo-ris college, and inas much as this institution has always stood for purity in politics and civic righteousness, therefore, be it re solved, by the students and faculty 3f Mount Mortis college, assembled in mass meeting, that we condemn the action of Senator Cullom in vot ing as he did in the Lorimer case, by which act we believe him to have cov ered his own proud record with shame and also to have brought Into disrepute the founders of our college, as well as the people of this state, in setting before the country a standard far too low for this generation to ac cept.' " Gives His Reasons. On last Monday Governor Blease vetoed the act which he himself urged the legislature to pass for the investigation of the old State Dis pensary Winding-up Commission. He gave as a reason for the veto that there was no use for the investiga tion, as the New Winding-up Com mission could attend to that business. He has thus vransferred the investi gation to his own appointees, and instructed them to investigate every body, including himself. One of the members of the New Winding-up Commission is Mr. Dominlck, late law partner of the Governor. "While the members of the new commission are all friends of mine and personal sup porters," Governur Blease said Mon day, "I have asked that they make a rigid investigation of all my acts as State Senator, . private citizen and governor of the State. I want every thing to come out." We do not know what charges Felder mayj make against the governor, but, whatever they might be, if we were in the -jovernor's place, we would want them paseed on by a commission of impartial citizens of the State, rather than a commission of our special friends and personal supporters.
