elected to the legislature only because
they stood pledged to vote for parti-

MR.. F. C. BROOKS.

Prominent Democrat of Minneapolis.
Our federal constitution should be so
amended as to provide for the election
OF United States senators in the same
manner as presidential electors are pow
chosen. This would leave it optional
with each state to elect by direct vote
or according to the present mode. And
it would inevitably lead, in most states
at least, to the election of senators
directly by the people. When SO elect
ed there can be no doubt that they
would more readily respond to the
popular will. Uncousciously the sena-
tor under the existing order of things
comes to consider himself the representa-
tive of the few whose actual votes and in
fuence have contributed to his election.
He would be more in touch with the
people IT they voted directly for him,
and not by proxy. Senators thus elect
ed would also be less SubSeryient to the
influence of wealth. The senate as now
constituted, unlike the house. is COM
posed in the main Of rich men. Those
who are not wealthy themselves are,
almost without exception, the repre-
sentatives of wealth. And it is a natural
consequence that the senate is the chic
obstacle to be overcome in any attempt
to relieve the people from the burden
Of tariff taxation. In the discussion of
this question, however, it should not be
forgotten that the senate was intended
to be, and usually is. the conservative
branch of our national legislature, and
that sometimes conservatism is virtue,
as it was when the Lodge bill, vi cious
and revolutionary in its tendencies,
but having the support OF the Repub-
llcan president and Republican house,
was defeated by the adverse action of a
Republican senate. But, upon the
whole, the advantages to accrue fr ON
the proposed constitutional amendment
seemed greatly to exceed any dsad-
vantages likely to result from its adop-
ton. and this regardless OF the benefi-
cial effect it would unquestionably have
upon our state legislatures to remove
from them the corruptlng and demor-
ailzing influences which many times
attend the election of senators as now
chosen.

MR.. R. T. WILDER.
Orporate interests.

[trominent Citizen of Red Wing. Mimi
The trainers OF the federal constitu-
ton were patriots and statesmen-not
prophets. They could not foresee that
in less than four generations there
would enter the senate solely and alone
through the inflence of combined wealth
-money-members sufficient IN num-
ber to constitute a balance of power,
and enable them for selfish ends to die
tate legislation adverse to the interests
of the republic and the general de-
mands of the people. The outlook in
this direction is pregnant with grave
conditions. Should the constitution be
so amended as to confer dire, I'll upon
the people of the state the erection of
its senators? Yes; emphatically yes.
For this change there are many reasons,
of which only one need now be named.
While it is too much to expect that
the corrupt use of money in this field
can be wholly prevented. it will be a
thousandfold more difficult to purchase
the people or state convention than to
purchase half-dozen or dozen venal
Representatives.
Give this election to the people. and
once again fitness for the position will
be at least one element necessary in the
selection of a candidate

NO MARSHES ON rIARs

The iconoclast is abroad again, and
this time it is Professor Holden, of
Lick observatory, who concludes that
Mars has no atmosphere that would
sustain life, and consequently that
planet has no inhabitants. So there
fall to the earth all those projects of
establishing communications with the
people of that planet by some code of
great electric lights. and the pleasant
theory that sundry lights. seen Oh Mars
surface were indications of wish to
communicate with US.
But the professors quietus oh the
theory, or conjecture. rather, of the ex-
istence of human beings on our sister
planet-brother planet would be more
in keeping with the military and chol-
eric character given Mars-assumes,
what is not at all sure or necessary, that
there can be no life on any planet save
under the same conditions prevailing
here. This is not at all in accord with
any known religious conjecture of life
off this planet. 1t is true that the
streets of the New Jerusalem are said
to be paved with gold, and that
the raiment needed for its citizens is
scanty, but it is not claimed that air and
food are needed for their sustenaDce.
. Then there are the Theosopnlsts, bor-
rowing their theories of life after death
from the BuddhlstS, with their scheme
of the progress of humanity upward
through cycle of planets on which we
live again under conditions entirely DIFF
NJ frny1 fIln-n lini,
here.
SO may it not be under either con-
lecture that Mars may be peopled by
those of onr ancestors who have so con-
Quoted themselves on this planet as to
deserve transplanting to world and a
climate where the need OF air and the
process Of breathinc-with all its accom-
panying drawbacks of asthma. catarrh
and tuberculosis. not to mention the in
convenience of its deprivation-is not an
essential to existence? And if this is
the case, may We not assume that the
people of Mars, relieved from the clogs
which our bodies put on our minds,
preventing the attaining of that high
| and spiritual intelligence for which we
all aspire and sigh, have all the adj
| vantage of Il life freed from bodies that
must have food and air, and are simply
disembodied intelligences, and that
they may, in spite of Prof. Holden, be
| striving to enter into communication
| with their descendants here? But one
| speculation is as good as another re-
garding anything of which knowledge is
| withheld from men. The only point o
interest in the professors discovery i:
] that it disproves nothing. and leaves the
| guesser and the speculator free to go OF
with his dreams.

MR.. LESLIE MATHEWS.

Editor of the Swift County Monitor.l
''Should United States senators be
elected by the people?" The writer
doesn't lay claim to possessing any
original ideas on this subject, but it is
his personal opinion that they should
be. most decidedly. The experiences
Of the last two years strongly support
the views of those who advocate a
change from the present system. Who
will say that the best interests of the
people OF state are being served when
Legislature wastes an entire session in
a fruitless attempt to elect a senator, as
was the case in several states last wear?
Three states are now getting along
with only half representation in
the senate, solely because their
legislatures failed to perform the
duties assigned to them This circum
stance is not so bad in itself, but when
we consider the expense 10 the tax
payers and the utter uselessness of the
legislature in all other work, it seems
little short of criminal. If there were
no other reasons tor desiring change,
those stated are surely sufficient But
there are many other reasons which
might be advanced or have been ad-
vanced. There is the we'll known tend.
ency and ability to corrupt legislatures.
we have seen enough of this in Mime
sofa. There is also the setting aside of
all local issues (and local interests are
always of paramount impoi tance).
choosing men for the legislature solely
that they may vote for this or that
candidate for the United States senate.
A machine might just as we'll be used,
and it would be incorruptible. Then
men are too often chosen who are
totally unfit for the position, and who
gain their success by shrewd political
manipulation or by the liberal use of
money.
1t seems to US that no good reason can
be advanced for retaining the present
system. We would certainly like to see
change to direc. vote, anyway, and.
at the same time. let presidential elect
ors be chosen by congressional dis
trictS.

HON. H. F. STEVENS,

Member of the State Senate from, ST. Paul.
| am in favor of the ell ection of United
States senators by popular vote. The
present plan had its Justification, II NOT
its origin-at least in so far as what had
been the Northern colonies was con-
cerned-in the system. then prevailing,
of electing the Legislature at popular
I meetings of the freemen, as they were
called, or legal voters, of each district.
Railroads and the telegraph did not
exist; newspapers had practically MP
general circulation, and mail facilities
were inadequate to secure free conf
munication between different communi-
lies. Primaries and conventions were
unknown. and it was therefore eXpediE
ent to commit to a legislature thus
chosen the duty Of selecting United
States senators. With the change in
conditions which century of national
existence has produced, to say nothing
| of the corrupting influences which ac-
| company advancing civilization, the
reasons for the method have ceased to
exist, and other reasons why 1t should
| not continue have arisen. 1t was
the theory of the founders OF
| the constitution that The legisla-
ture should select the United States
| senators. Instead of that, to large ex-
tent, candidates for the United States
| senate select the legislature, large
! proportion of whose members are chosen
rather with reference to their supposed
preferences i'll that respect th an ON the
ground of personal fitness for their
position. 1t has become the custom
often to consume several weeks in a
| political game, in which merit ana
ability do not always win. The fact
| that we have as many able and honor
| able men in the senate as we do occurs
J in spite of the present plan, and not be-
cause of it. Every proper incentive and
restraint which now affects members OF
the legislature i'll electlng senator
would influence members of state con-
| ventionS in nominating a candidate;
and. i'll addition, the people would be
called upon to ratify the choice of one
party or the other. This is the refer
endum in its best form. The people
can be trusted to do what is right when
they have opportunity for information
| and time for reflection. The men who
| now receive and deserve election at the
hands of the legislature would secure it
by popular vote; those who do not
deserve it would be rejected. The
character of the legislature would be
improved, and better laws would result
