One thing is certain: 1t viii not do
to fool with bad cold. No one can
tell what the end will be. PneumoniE,
catarrb, chronic bronchitis, II not
consumption, invariably result from .
neglected cold. 1t is surprising, too,
that bad colds are so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
ct what little expense they may be
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is always prompt and effectual, and
costs but a trifie; IS or SO cents is .
trifie as compared with the disas.

Abner Mercer, of Dilworthtown, ,Ches-

Electing Senators by the People.
ABSOLUTELY PURE

Electing Senators by the People.
The New York Herald prints . we'll
reasoned article by Henry st. George
Tucker, member of Congress from
Virginia, on the subject Of electing
Senators of the United States. It is q
question of constantly growing inn
portance, and for nearly twenty years
has occupied the attention OF many
thoughtful men. Amendments to the
Constitution have been introduced In
Congress many times-one Ia pending
there at this moment-making the
Senators elective by the people In
stead of by the legislature, but hither-
to they have not secured therequisite
two thirds vote. And unless great
popular demonstration is made such
an amendment never will get the nec-
esaary two-thirds vote in Congress.
Az Mr.. Tucker points out In his arti-
Gle, 1t is easier for unscrupulous sen.
atorial aspirants to manipulate leg
islature than it is the people.
Hitherto the people generally have
not manifested any very great con-
Germ in bringing about this change.
This is due to their natural conserva-
tism In making alterations In the Con-
stltution, and also to the pretty wide
spread feeling Of doubt as to whether
conventions would be less subject to
unscrupulous control than Legislatures.
1t might be jumping out Of the frying
pan into the fire, and so great many
well-meaning persons think 1t the
part of wisdom to leave "well enough
Alone" But Mr.. Tucker points out .
consideration that has never been
emphasized in the way II should be,
and that is the total lack Of responsi-
bility to the people felt by the Senate
and not infrequently expressed. 1t is
in fact a totally irresponsible body,
and is practically out Of reach for any
purpose of political discipline. A
Senator elected by one Legislature
feels under no sort of obligation to
the next one, and may or may not re-
spond to its requests or desires, ~
may seem best for his own personal
interests. He treats the people In the
same way, and 1t is only when the
time for o re- election approaches that
he feels any particular sense of re-
; sponsibility to his constituents. Mr..
Tucker holds that this is the true
ground for advocating change in the
, election. Senators should be brought
into closer touch with the people thai
they may become moro quickly re-
, sponsive to the popular will.
!. II Senators were elected by the peo'
9 pie there would be much less OF fraud
& ulent senatorial courtesy whii'
better rules would be established fol

following gentlemen to meet in conference
with them:
AttDrney-Generl Fitzgerald. General
Fitch. Harbor Commissioner Harney.
Frank S. Gould and William T. Baggett.
At the opening of the session the gov
ernor and the mayor claimed, eacn in
his own behalf. the right to appoint the
new members of the board. It was agreed,
however that If the two officials could
select twelve men suitable to both. the
appointments would be made as II one
power were acting. This was done TO
avoid any chance of illegality in the ap.
pointment
1t was argued that some technical OBJ
lection might be made to either the ap-
pointments of the mayor or of the gov
ernor but not to both. 1t was decided,
therefore that each should act in appa-
rent independence of the other. each to
issue commission without reference to
any official action of the other.
This morning each OF those selected
will be notified of his appointment by
the mayor and will also receive his COM
mission from the governor The new
board will be sworn in at noon at The city
hail. Four of the men, Messrs. Dodge,
Lachmann, Clinton and Rotanzi, were
members Of the board ousted by Judge
Wallace, who held that the board having
failed to fix the water rates in February,
as required by law; it was guilty Of NAL
fersance, the penalty of which is fixed
by the statue of 1881 as removal from
office. He therefore rendered Judgment
removing from office every member Of the
board. The four members however who
have done all in their power to fix the
water rates during the time prescribed
by the constitution. The deposed office
holders will probably seek relief today in
the appellate court, notwithstanding the
fact that their places have been tilled.
