of the republic two things were kept
in mind: % That this is a government
of and by the people. l2) That it is a
union OF sovereign states.
The legislative branch of government,
therefore, was divided into two bodies
one representing the people and the
other representing the states. But time
has taught and experience has demon
strated that the best way to secure
faithful service to the state is by fixing
the responsibility upon the people.
People are very thoughtful when they
have only one ballot to cast for an Of
ficer. 1t is not time for sentiment. 1t
is a time for business. Complimentary
votes are out Of the question. Men and
women study the needs of their COM
munitY and Of the state. They have a
matter-of-fact way of arriving at a de-
cision.
If the ladies prefer handsome man,
they vote for him. If men prefer a pol
itician. they make up their minds to
that effect before they cast ballot. If
it is oratory the people need, they vote
for an orator. If they regard business
interests as paramount, they vote ac-
cordingly. But the responsibility rests
with the people, and to them the Of
ficials chosen must answer for their
conduct.
Nearly every other official whom the
people choose to represent them is
obliged to pass through the ordeal of a
campaign. Their public records are
carefully inspected either as oficehold-
ers, or as business men. If man has
overdone the one or made a failure Of
the latter, if he has given more to the
party than he has received from it, or
has been honored more than his share
already. these things are taken into the
account OF candidates which the people
audit at the polls.
1t has been proved by the American
experiment that the people are able to
choose for themselves fully as well as
anyone can choose for them. But it is
in states where legislatures are tainted
with corruption, where tricksters of the
Chicago ward-heeler type spread the
contagion of their communicating in
fluence that the need of such popular
elections is felt most. Happily Utah is
almost, if not quite free from polite
ians of this stripe.
In the beginning, at the formation Of
this American republic, it was supposed
that an electoral college composed of
eminent citizens or party leaders from
every state would make the best and
wisest selection of a chief executive.
Yet the champion of this system, Alex
ander Hamilton, had to interfere with
its prerogative at the very outset to
save his political adversary, Thomas
Jefferson, from being beaten by q dead
lock deal worked up by Aaron Burr.
1t is certain that the election of a
president without the medium of an
electoral college. and the election of
United States senators by a direct vote
of the people would be highly salts
factory to the American public.

Representative Law of Cache has per-
sistently refused to support any ad-
ninistIation Republican in the sena-
torial conflict. He came very near it
yesterday, however, when he voted for
Senator Howell of Cache. If the sena-
tor is a silver man, he is a recent con-
vert, but as Mr.. Law said Of him, he is
a bright, capable man of affairs, and
deserves a complimentary vote from
the Republican side of the house. In
frankly telling both the good and bad
about his candidate, Mr.. Law said:
He has plenty of money, and is gen
erous and large-hearted. The worst
thing about him is that he has never
contributed to The Salt Lake Herald. >"
But no one should conclude from this
that he is a member of the storm bu-

(From the Atlantic Constitution.)
The lady is there, in the silence
There where the lights burn low.
A shadow she seems: Is she dreaming
dreams
The dreams of the long ago?
The halls are dim-the guests are gone,
And drearily drifts the dark to dawn.
The lady is there, in the silence.
What are the dreams? l know:
She dreams of the life of a heart at
strife
OF heart that loved her Sc.
heart that still TO the lady speaks
In the tears on the roses Of her cheeks.
The lady is there in the silence
A ghost in the gloom and CLEAN.
Does she say to her heart that the grief
will depart
That love is drcam-a dream?
The halls are white with the morning

Good morrow: = The ghosts have
said good night!

DIRECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.

Senator Bennion introduced a joint
memorial at yesterdays session of the
legislature. asking congress TO submit
TO the legislatures Of the several states
a proposition to amend section 3, article
l. of the constitution of the United
States, relating to the election of United
States senators.
This is an important matter, destined
to become popular within a few years,
if public sentiment continues to grow
in the direction and at the rate it has
Tor several years past. It provides for
the election of United States senator's
by a direct vote of the people.
The Democratic idea is to bring all
elections as near to the people them

George Long of Pompei next read his
experience in itemizing accounts on
raising 10 acres of corn. The result
was that the cost per bushel amounted
to eight cents Every days work or
item of expenditure had been tabulated,
and the account was most plain and
cussion euSued bringing on the state
ment of Secretary Mey that he had
raised corn last year for two cents a
bushel. Although quite closely assailed
Mr. Mey stood his ground claiming that
cheap labor and large yield had EN-.
abled him TO accomplish this, although.
for the present year, his expenses had
been as high as any of the others.
woMAN's MEETING.
The woman's section of the institute
was held this afternoon in the NJ. +.
church and was largely attended, about
one hundred and forty being present.
Those i'll charge of the meeting were
not able 10 carry out the program in
full owing 10 the absence of several
who " ere expected TO take part, but
those present were highly entertained
by an address on, "A Mothers Greatest
Need" by Mrs. Mayo of Battle Greek
and music furnished by Misses McLaren
and Whiting Before the meeting
closed an expression as to the benefit TO
be derived from these meetings was
taken and was unanimous in favor of
their continuance.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Conductor Woodman introduced as
the first speaker, Mr.. Geo. Randels Of
Alma College. who spoke OIL The

in large quantities both for cattle and
pigs" In this connection MIR. Moody
gave his experience with the sugar beet.
He had obtained carload of pulp two
weeks ago from Bay City and had been
experimenting with il ever since. All the
stock seem 70 eat it with avidity; milch
COWS, calves, pigs and even horses ap-
pear to enjoy it intensely. 1t is not
fattening but is great builder of hard
flesh
Variety of food is quality often neg
lected. Cattle should not be fed one
staple all the time but should have rota'
ton. Glover hay, peas and especially
corn unhusked are valuable for this pnr-
pose. The secret of raising good young
horses is feed, feed, feed.
The ever present sugar beet had an.
other inning through the paper OF h.
NJ. Davenport OF 81. Louis on Sugar
Beets." While the paper was of neces'
sity somewhat of IA repetition OF the
previous production on the subject, MIR.
Davenport personal experience with
the crop in Gratiot county was particu.
larly interesting. His beets tested we'll.
over l8 per cent, and have proved a
most profitable cattle food. Several
verses Of very appropriate and amusing
poetry closed the paper which received
merited applause.
1.-The Profitable Cow" was the subject
for @. p. Goodrich's second paper Mr.
Goodrich believed in the survival of the
fittest az appointed to cattle raising.
Man can do wonders towards shaping
cattle for his own purpose. Three gen.
eral divisions were made; cattle were
bred for speed and toughness. for beef
and for milk and it was with the latter
that the speaker was experienced. The
ideal form of dairy COW has broad fore
head, mild eye, muscular jaw, thin
neck. retreating busket; she should be
deep through the dody. lean on the
back, with large udder and milk veins,
thin, curved thighs and long tail
Mich cattle should never be allowed
to retain their calves in the stall after
birth. Mothers milk should be fed at
first and the calf gradually accustomed
to solid food. A large charcoal drawing
was exhibited of Brown Bessy, tie
champion milch COW at the worlds fair.
Mr.. Goodrich admitted that he had a
sentimental attachment for this animal
and carried her photograph with that of
his wife. The address was replete. with
wit and humor and was one of the best
efforts Of the institution.
Pupils from the Alma Union Schools
at this point rendered two vocal selec.
tiops in most creditable manner The
