ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The demand for a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of senators by direct vote of the people
appears for the first time in a Demo-
cratic national platform, but resolu-
ton proposing such an amendment has
three times passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, and that, too, practically
without opposition. Whatever may
have been the reasons which secured
the adoption of the present plan, cen :
tury ago, new conditions have made it
imperative that the people be permit
ted to speak directly in the selection Of
their representatives in the Senate. A
senator is no less the representative OF
the State because he receives his COM
mission from the people themselves,
rather than from the members of the
State legislature If voter Is compe-
tent to vote for a member of congress
for state officers, and for President, he
is competent to choose his representa-
tive in the senate. A system which
makes the senator responsible for his
election ITO the people, as whole, and
amenable to them If he misrepresents
them, must commend itself to those
who have confidence in the intelligence
and patriotism of the masses.

Importance of the platform recommend

ment of labor, with a member of the cab
met at its head. Whenwe remember how
important position the laborer fills
in our economic. social and political ia
brio, it is hard to conceive of a valid
objection being made to this recognition
of his services. Agriculture is already
represented in the Presidents official
household; the army and navy have
their representatives there; the State
department with it's consular service,
and the treasury department, with its
close connection with fiscal affairs, keep
the executive in touch with the bust
ness and commercial interests. A
cabinet officer truly representative of
the wage earning class would be of in
valuable aid, not only to the toilers,
but to the President

ARBITRATION.

The platform renews the demand for
arbitration between corporations and
their employees. No one who has OBJ
served the friction which arises between
great corporations and their numerous
employees can doubt the wisdom of
establishing an impartial court for the
just and equitable settlement of dis
putes. The demand for arbitration ought
to be supported as heartily by the public
which suffers inconvenience because of
strikes and lockouts, and by the en-
ployers themselves, as by the employees.
The establishment of arbitration will
insure friendly relations between labor
and capital, and render obsolete the
growing practice of calling in the army
to settle labk,r troubles

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The Chinese exclusion act has proven
an advantage to the country. and its
continuance and strict enforcement, as
well as it's extension to other similar
races, are imperatively necessary The
Asiatic is so essentially different from
the American that he cannot be as
simulated with our population, and is.
therefore, not desirable as permanent
citizen. His presence as a temporary
iaborer, preserving his national identi-
ty, and maintaining a foreign scale of
wages and living, must ever prove an
injustice to American producers. as

covered by the rea affirmation OF the Chi
cago platform, and 1 take this occasion
TO reassert my belief in the principle
which underlies the income tax. Congress
should have authority to levy and collect
an income tax whenever necessary, and
an amendment TO the federal constitution
specifically comforting such authority
ought to be supported by even those who
may think the tax unnecessary at this
time. In the hour of danger the govern

FOREIGN ALLIANCES.

The reasons given by Washington,
Jefferson. and the other statesmen of
the early days in support OF the doc
trine that We should maintain friendly
relations with all nations. but enter
into entangling alliances with none, are
even stronger to-day than they were
hundred years ago. Our commerce is
rapidly increasing, and we are brought
into constant communication with all
parts of the world. Even IL we desired
to do so, we could not afford to ALLEVIATE
many nations by cultivating unnecessary
intimacy with few. Cur strength and
standing are such that it is less neces-
sary than ever before to lean for aid
upon the friendlness OF foreign power.

MONROE DOCTRINE.

The doctrine enunciated BY Monroe,
and approved by succeeding Presidents,
is essential to the welfare OF the
United States. The continents of
North and South America are dedica-
ted to the development OF free govern
ment One republic after another has
been established, until to-day the mon
archial idea has barely a foothold i'll
the new world.
While 1t is not the policy of this
country to interior where anicable re-
lations exist between European
countries and their dependencies in
America, our people would look with
disfavor upon any attempt on the part
of European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forciole sovereignty
over the people living on this side OF
the Atlantic.
The position taken by the Republi-
can leaders, and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
the Presidency, viz: That We cannot
protect nation from outside inter
ference without exercising sovereignty
over its people, is an assault upon the
Monroe doctrine, for while this argu-
ment is at this time directed against
the proposition to give the Filipinos
both independence and protection. 1t
is equally applicable 10 the republics
of Central and South America. If this
government
Canot Lend Its Strength
to another republic without making
subjects of its people then We must
either withdraw our protection from
h. 20 Of n1.o h
sorb them Under the same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert an au-
thority equal to its responsibility, Eu-
ropean nations have for centuries ex-
plotted their wards. and it Is sig
niffcant fact that the Republican party
should accept the European idea OF a
protectorate. at the same time that it
adopts a European colonial policy.
There is no excuse for this abandon
men't of the American idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine for
three quarters of a century. The ex-
pense to us has been practically moth
ing, but the protection mas been beyond
va1ue to our sister republics. If a
Filipino republic is erected upon the
ruins of Spanish tyranny, its protec-
tion by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive. No European nation would
be willing for any other European ma
ton to have the islands. neither would
any European nation be willing TO pro-
woke a war with us in order to obtain
possession of the islands. If We assert
sovereignty over the Fifipinos we will
have to defend that sovereignty by
force, and the Filipinos will be our
enemies If we protect them from out
side interference, they will defend
themselves and will be our friends. If
they show as much determination in

RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS

The time is ripe for systematic and
extended effort to reclaim the arid lands
and fit them for actual settlers The last
agricultural report estimates that homes
can thus be provided for many millions
of people. The impounding and use OF
the waters which are wasted in the
spring would people the western States
with thrifty intelligent and industrious
citizens. and these would furnish
valuable market for all the products OF
the factories. A small percentage of
the money spent in a war or conquest
would provide occupation and habita-
ton for more people than would ever

THE BLACKLIST.

The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
place the employee under practical du-
ress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment. The
blacklist enables employers to secure,
by mutual agreement, that control over
the wage earners which private mono
molly exercises without contract.

EXTRAVAGANZA.

The Republican party, drawing as it
does enormous campaign funds from those
who enjoy special privileges at the hands

who profit by large appropriations. A
surplus in the treasury offers constant
temptation to extravaganza. in turn, com
pels a resort to new means of taxation.
which is being kept In the background
until the campaign is over. is fair illus
tration of the imposition which will be at
tempted when there is a considerable
amount of money idle in the treasury.
The rehabilitation of the merchant ma
rine, laudable in itself, is made the pretext
for expenditure of public money for the
benefit of
