TIE CITIZEN.
Amend the Constitution.

The election of United States Sena-
tors by a direct vote ef the people
would certainly be a great improvement
on the present system. A Legislative
body Is supposed to represent the popu-
lar will in the choice of Senator any
how. and it is difficult to see what ad-
vantage there Is in leaving the choice to
the legislature of the several states.
The trainers of the constitution, de-
string TO create a body less fosslllzed
than the House of Lords in England
and little more dignfied and conserva-
tive than the lower House of Congress,
conceived the idea of recurring the leg'
islatures of the several States to select
the Senators for term of SIX years.
The long term tends to produce the re
suit aimed at, but the election of Sena-
tors by legislative bodies accompli fishes
no good purpose On the contrary 1t IS
productive of great evils that might be
obviated by popular elections.
First. the election OF United States
Senators by a state legislature tends to
degrade the legislative body itself.
When members of the legislat Ire are TO
be chosen who will vote for a United
States Senator the merits and capablll-
ties of the legislative candidate Is often
entirely lost sight of and about the on
ly thing thought of is how he will vote
for United States Senator. That de
grades the legislature, filling it with in
competents and 'roosters, who have
no qualifications whatever for the bust
ness of making laws or looking after
the general interests of the State. The
election of a Senator is a very insigniti-
cant fraction of the duties Of Il legisla-
ture. A candidate ifor the legislature
should run on his own merits-not on
the merits or dement's of some man
who wants to be United States Senator.
Second, the election of United States
Senators by the legislatures of the sev-
eral states tends to degrade the higher
branch of Congress its self, because 1t
gives money an advantage over charac-
ter and ability. A mere money bag
can have himself doomed for office, and
he can use money in various corrupting
ways TO have persons who will vote for
him elected to the legislature. In this
way mil,ionaires, who have no qualities
OF craftsmanship whatever, are some
times elected to that body who would
st md no chance in a popular election.
Besides these two potent reasons tcr
choosing Senators by the popular vote,
there is another: The people want a
voice in their selection, and feel that it is
their right, and in accordance with the
genius of our institutions.
We would have better legislatures, a
better United States Senate, and conse-
ausntly better management of both
State and National affairs, if Senators
were chosen by popular vote, and the
Constitution should be amended accord

Noah After the Flood.

The first fruit planted by Noah when
he left the ark was the grape, the most
healthy of all products of the earth.
All through the Bible we read grapes
and wine from grapes being recon-
mended as the first remedy for the ills
of life; but it is pure juice wine. not
watered and sugared juice that the Bl-
BILE refers.
Sugared wines are highly alcoholic
and starchy; the sugar making excess
of alcohol and other products.not belong
ing to healthy wine.
Speer of New Jersey, the Oldest wine
grower IN the United States, has studi-
ously avoided water and sugar or any
foreign substance whatever, but has
his wine fully matured by great age and
careful handling.

Too Much Politics.

The following advertisements appear
ed in a newspaper in Reading a few
days ago:
NOTICE. hereby notify the politi..
clans to keep away from my place, ana
not bother me about politics.
Michael Moser.
Michael Moser was found to be a
small grocer. and when called upon he
was in bed suffering from nervousness,
brought on, as he said by the worry to
which he had been subjected by the pol
iticians of his ward There were half a
dozen candidates for councils, and as
many for school controller, constable,
alderman and the various offices to be
voted for at the spring elections. They
had been so constantly after him that
they had worried him sick. About
twice a year. he said, he was driven to
his bed by their pestering. He was de
termined to put stop to II, and here
after to enjoy his rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness in peace.
This is perhaps an extreme case. Not
all citizens are compelled to take to
their beds by reason of the recurrence
of the semi-annual saving of the coun-
try: but the amount of nervous strain
caused by it cannot but be in the ag-
gregate very great. As our laws stand,
we are not only compelled to save the
State from destruction once year, but
the county and city, township or Dor
ough rs well, and we must save the Ma
ton every two years by the election OF
Congressman and every four years by
the election of a President The
amount Of voting we do Is prodigious
and We are never done with the prim
aries The battle Is always on. what
relief it would be if the country
would stay saved, once in awhile, for q

Doves Scattered Flowers.

The unromatic aspect of Cramps
shipward was turned to favor and
prettiness last Thursday when the Jap
anese cruiser Kasagi was launched.
True oriental spirit pervaded the event,
and, perhaps for the same reason that
the dainty Japs begin their dinners
with pie and end them with soup. this
deadly engine of war was christened with
all the emblems of peace, tranquility
and love. When the huge ship began
to glide down to her first bath in the
muddy Delaware six doves futtered
from basket from the bow and circ-
ling round the fast receding hull, scat
tered flowers on her deck and on the
nondeScript structure of timber and
iron from which she slipped gracefully
away. The chief actor of the allegory
was charming American girl-Miss
Helen Long, daughter of the secretary
of the navy.
The dove idea is a relic of the feudal
ages OF Japan. 1t combines supersti-
tious tradition with a love affair OF
quite modern fashion, including an
elOpement, an irate father and the in
tercession of his ancestors spirits in
the shape of the birds, who thus per
mitted the lovers to get safely away on
maritume honey Miss Long
was to have merely drawn the cord
which released the doves and their flo
raj emblems. At the supreme moment
the cord slipped from her hand and &
