The libel suit of Governor Tener
against Frederick W. Sell, editor of
tho Slatlngton Star, was settled on
Saturday. It was brought in De
cember by Mr. Tener as a result of
tho editor's heading an article In a
manner derogatory to Mr. Tener's
character. A marked copy of the
paper fell into the hands of Mrs.
Tener and she became so indignant
that her husband came on and
brought the charge, engaging as his
attorney Democratic State Chairman
Arthur G. Wewalt. Tho January

against tho accused editor. Senator
Dowalt said that settlement was ef

Senator McCumber of North Da
kota, in tho course of a four-hour
speech in opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity treaty on Saturday, criti
cised the extravagant methods of life
in the great cities and showed the
cost, In farm products, or a aay in
New York, to a visiting Senator.
"As ho leaves his cab (from tho
station to the hotel), he pays for
fare for having been driven,, say
eight or ten blocks, six bushels of
oats," Mr. McCumber said, "and as
a compliment to the driver for his
very medium charge he tosses him
fifteen heads of cabbage. He regis
ters at the hotel and is shown by the
bell boy to tho elevator. As ho
nears tho tenth story ho responds to
tho expectant look of the elevator lad
with a couple of dozen of eggB. The
bell boy lingers at the door of his
room and is rewarded for his
anxiety over tho comfort of tho guest
with a bushel and a half of barley.
It takes a quarter of a ton of hay
for this Senator's breakfast, and he
gives the waiter two bushels of po
tatoes. His noon lunch Is one sheep
with a bushel and a half of carrots
for the waiter. In the evening ho
consumes four bushels of rye and tho
waiter has a bushel of onions to
dream on. And when he settles for
his room the landlord Is the recipient
of half a carload of turnips.
"The actual cost of tho articles
that make up our diet is but the
slightest percentage of the cost of
living. It is the service. It Is the
service that you pay for. Did It
ever occur to you that the farmer
does not get four cents out of the
average meal consumed by you?"

If a bill introduced Into the state leg
islature by Representative R. W.
Hilton, of McKean county, becomes
a law.
Representative Hilton declares
that If his bill or a similar one Is not
speedily passed the graceful animal
which he seeks to protect will pass
out of the state as completely as the
herds of buffalo which once roamed
the western prairies. A deep seated
sentimental interest attaches to the
McKean member's measure and he
claims that he has assurance of sup
port for It from representatives and
senators from all the Interior coun
ties. The hunting of deer Is at present
restricted to the last two weeks in
November. Short as the season is,
the deer have steadily dwindled In
numbers until oven veteran hunters,
who have not missed a year In track
ing them to their forest retreats, are
foremost in demanding that they
shall be protected for a sufficient
time to permit of tho Increasing In
numbers.
Tho bill provides that from and
after tho first day of June, 1911, it
shall bo unlawful to take, or kill, or
wound, or attempt to take or kill or
wound, any deer in this common
wealth. A flno of $200 for every
deer killed, or Imprisonment for 200
days or both.
Dr. Kalbfus, secretary of tho State
Game Commission, declared in his
last report that more than 400 deer,
of an average of 150 pounds, mak
ing a total of 30 tons of venison,
have been killed in tho season of 15
days In the fall of 1909. Ho esti
mated that an equal number of bears,
of an average weight of 200 pounds,
had been shot or taken In traps dur
ing the same season.
The forest preserves of tho state,
consisting of many thousands of
acres In the aggregate, have for sev
eral years past afforded places of
refuge not only tor deer and bear but
for other game.

Washington, D. C, March 1. Tho
Senate of the United States welcom
ed into its fold Wednesday afternoon
William Lorlmer, of Illinois, by a
voto of 46 to 40, following the most
acrlmonous and extended contest of
the kind in the history of the coun
try. With forty senators convinced that
Lorimer's election had been brought
about by fraud and corruption, and
appealing up to tho very last mlnuto
against his admission on tho ground
that the welfare of the country was
at stake, the majority calmly ac
cepted him.
The final scene in the famous
case was perhaps the most dramatic
witnessed here In years. It was like
the closing act of a great murder
trial, except that it was on a larger
and more impressive scale. Lorlmer
had pleaded for his political life
with all the fervor of a man actually
endeavoring to avoid a death sent
ence.
No presecutlng attorney could
have arraigned a defendant more
bitterly or more mercilessly than
Senators Beverldgo, Crawford, Owen
and LaFollette excoriated the "sit
ting member," who is now a mem
ber in tho full meaning of the
word.
Lorlmer was acquitted on the
ground that no proof had been pre
sented to show that he personally
was responsible for any of the ad
mitted corruption in the Illinois leg
islature, coincident with his election

Advance figures compiled from the
1910 census returns show that there
aro now In Germany forty-seven cit
ies of more than 100,000 population.
Of these seven have over 500,000
population. They are Berlin, 2,064,
153; Hamburg, 936,000; Munich,
593,053; Leipzig, 585,743; Dresden,
546,882; Cologne, 511,042, and Bres
lau, 510,929. Four others have
more than'300,000 population. They
are Frankfort on tho Main, 414,-
406, Dusseldorf, 356,733; N urem
berg, 332,539, and Charlottenburg,
(a supurb of Berlin), 304,280.
Twelve other cities havo more than
200,000 population, and twenty-four
others havo populations ranging
from 100,000 to 200,000. Ten years
ago there were but two cities in tho
empire with more than half a mil
lion population, and only 13 with
more than 100,000 population.
Pay For Tho Lawmakers.
A bill Introduced in the-. State
House of Representatives by Mr.
Carter, of Pittsburg, provides for
increasing the salary of legislators
from 51500 to $2000 for each regu
lar session. There are men in the
General Assembly whose services to
Pennsylvania are worth more than
tho sum fixed by the new bill, and a
larger proportion of tho members
are not earning tho pay they now re-
celve. Men of affairs who have the
ability to make laws and the con
science to originate and support good
ones ordinarily do not accept the of-
llce of legislator. They have not the
desire to withdraw from private bus!
ness the timo necessarily consumed
in legislative work. Thus law-making
is trusted almost wholly to pro
fessional politicians and their ser
viceable henchmen.
In a less strenuous era citizens of
character and standing appreciated
tno Honor of being called to legis
late for themselves and their fel
lows. Party spirit ran as high then
as now, but the machine was not so
masterful. Senators and representa
tives had a greater opportunity to Im
press their individuality upon leglsla
tlon. Debate was free, full and
even copious. Conditions have vast
ly changed, and wltlii the transforma
tion has come a chango in the char
acter of the members of the General
Assembly. The legal giants and tho
captains of industry, the forensic
stars and the men of business, have
withdrawn from a field which no
longer attracts them.
Constitutional provisions regulated
the number of Senators and Repre
sentatives in Pennsylvania. Tho
membership of the Senate is fixed at
50, but -that of tho House-Is required
to be Increased from time to time
In correspondence with changes
shown by the "United States census.
There Is little doubt that the mem
bership of the House Is too large.
Its business Is actually carried on by
a comparatively small number of
men. There would be justification in
a constitutional amendment making
tho House less unwieldy.
We have too many lawmakers, too
many legislative bills and too much
lawmaking. To warrant an lncreaso
In the quantity of the salary there
should be an advance In tho quality
of tho recipients. Men of legislative
calibre cannot afford to accept the
office unless they have personal inter
est themselves In measures to be act
ed upon, in which event they take
part in log-rolling with other mem
bers similarly Inspired.
The salary fixed by tile Carter bill
Is not too much for 'honest and cap
able service. It Is indefensible if It
is to be paid to illiterates or mere
party tools. Public Ledger, Philadelphia.

When The Hobble Collides With The
Ilni-cm Skirt.
The nation has waited with bated
breath for the news from Washing
ton not on reciprocity, direct elec
tion or any of those stupid things,
but for the answer to the all-important
question, "What are going to be
the styles?" Like the prico of but
ter and the gas bill, this enters into
every home. Mother and tho daugh
ters are waiting to be told what they
will have to wear; and father and
husband wonder what new freaks
they will have to pay for.
Since the Merry Widow hat bob
bed out some years ago and the hob
ble skirt hopped out, everybody is
kept on the qui vivo to see what the
tailors and dressmakers, miliners audi
other fashlonlsts will pull out of the I
surprise box. The National Style
Show snaps the lock, the lid flies i
open and out jumps the harem
skirt." "Avaunt tho hobble!" is the
cry; and it will be joyously taken
up by those who have regarded It as
one of the most horrible Inventions
with which woman has ever disllg-1
urcd herself. But to mere man we !
must break the news gently; the
worst Is yet to come. Beside the
harem skirt the hobble Is a dream
of grace and loveliness. The hobble
was designed on the lines of the
knitting needle and was especially
adapted to those ladles who are not
tatter than a match. But tho stout
lady now comes into her own. From
what we are told of It, the "harem
skirt" will please those plump mor
tals say, those from 200 pounds
upwards. All the horrible details
have not yet been brought out, hut
they do say that this novelty from
darkest Turkey looks like a pair of
"mother hubbard trousers In re
pose. Wo fear the worst. When ' the
"harem skirt" on a public thorough
fare comes Into collision with the
hobble, It will be a sight to make
strong men shudder, women weep,
taxlcabs skid and dray horses take
to the trees. Baltimore Sun.

Trousers Skirt Now Certain.
Radical fashions, like kites, rise
against the wind, and for thlB
reason wo fear that tho trousers
skirt is not a mere Parisian joke,
but that it is destined to become an
all-pervading reality, as did its hide
ous predecessor tho hobble skirt.
To be a "go," a new style has only
to be freakish enough to arouse an
tagonism. This has been the history
of fashion from hound feet to bustles
nnd from hoops to hobble.

tising. And the bifurcated skirt has
