considerably exercised in the interests

The senate rose to the occasion on the
final passage of the bill, proposed by
Senator Day, making the Office of rail-
road commissioner elective.
Senator Pope was first to raise his
voice in opposition. He opposed the
bill, because if the railroad colnmis-
sionerS were elected as the minority
party, the Democrats would never get a
look in. Besides, better class of men
were secured under the appointive sys-

"It is always safe to trust the people,"
interpolated Senator Day. Continuing,
he said: "The people, at any rate,
would eject, to say the least, the peers
of any railroad commissioner yet ap-
pointed. The commission has always
been composed of weak and vacillating
men,"

Senator Ward was assured of one
thing, the people would put the right
mansin the sight place. The people
sometimes might make mistake, but
he had vet to learn that the Republican
or Democratic party nominated farmer

to speak disrespectful of the present
commissioners, but he would make this
assertion: not one of them knew a
