Col. VIM. F. SwITzLER has written
and published letter opposing the
election of U. S. Senators by popular
vote. Every reason he gives against
the proposition can be as fitly urged
against the election of all officials by
direct vote, from President down to
Constable. That all methods Of human
government are imperfect and to a
greater or lesser extent uncertain of
the ends aimed at, is true; else every
body would be gods or angels. But to
argue therefrom that popular govern
ment-and that is the question involved
lis not the best attainable, is, we hold,
not justified either by human exper-
ience or natural law. The citizen
here is sovereign; this is his govern
ment, and the less he delegates his
duties and powers to ''middle-men" the
better that government is sure to be.

ST. LOUIS, MO-, May 9.-The second
day of the great street railway strike
was quite as uneventful as the first was
riotious.
The st Louis Transit Company has
made no effort to run its cars on the
suburban line, but with policemen massed
on the streets and on cars, 1t succeeded
in getting a number through.
IT has been shown that by massing their
forces on a single line the police could
keep that line open.
Frequent conferences were held on both
sides. The police prevented repetition
of The rotous demonstrations. Ihe
streets were filled with people many OF
them bearing placards expressing sym
pathy with the strikers. but they were
not allowed to congregate.
President Malone, OF the Amaigamated
Association of Street Railway Employees
of America, is directing the strike.
Prominent citizens assured the the Mayor
of their hearty cooperation in all ms
might do to preserve peace. and later made
similar representations to the Police Board.
It was a day rof prcclamations. mani
festos, statements and explanations.
While one of the cars was making a re-
turn trip with passengers on board,
crowd began throwing rocks. Some OF them
struck policeman on the car and another
crashed through the top Of the car The
passengers at this juncture deserted the
car and ran through the alleys.
The Police Board. which has been In
session all day over the strike. has asked
