TALBERT's BRAVE FIGHT.

Representative Talbert of South Caro-
lima, has called down upon his head the
wrath of every member of the House VINO
has pension jobs pending in Congress by
insisting that there shall be a quorum
present when pension bills are consider
ed He knows and so does every other
member of the House. that thousands of
dollars are voted away at every session
90 pension claimants who are not able
TO show to the Commissioner of Pensions
that they are entitled to pensions.
Only a few days ago that official made
public statement in which he showed
that the pension attorneys succeed in get
ting vast sums out of the treasury for
pension applicants, who are not entitled
to anything from the government.
No doubt there are some just pension
claims allowed by Congress, but II is prob
able that the majority OF them are based
largely, If not wholly on evidence that
would not stand the test of thorough
investigation. These claims as a rule are
passed upon by one member Of the House
What he says is approved by the Pen
sion Committee, and what the committee
reports is approved by the House. 1t Is
the easiest thing IN the world to get
pension claim through Congress. There
is neither the ume nor the means TO in
vestgate thoroughly the Claims that are
presented 90 that body
Mr.. Talbert has no hostility to those
who are entitled to pensions. but he has
good reason TO think that many OF the
pensions granted by Congress. under the
present system. are based on fraudulent
evidence. lie is simply trying to protect
the treasury against a lot OF people who
have no claim on the government. For
that he is abused by some Of his fellow
members-mfn who should hold up hls
hands instead Of abusing him Ho Dr.

REAUTIFYING THE CITY.

One complaint that the Park and Tree
Commission makes is that it has not
sufficient money to do what it would like
to do, nor to make as much of showing
in improvements each year as it would
like TO make. 1t is true that the appro>
priation is small, and the prospect of its
being larger Is not very promising. That
being the case would it not be advisable
to use 1t all in planting trees and grass?
We are inclined to think that we voice
the majority sentiment when we say that
as much of the appropriation possible
should be put into trees and grass. There
is a sad lack of trees in some of the
streets. which were formerly beautifully
shaded. There are great bare places on
the sides of Oglethorpe avenue, Liberty
ana Jones streets. 1t may be true that
property owners on these streets are not
willing to bear the expense of having
trees planted in front of their properties.
If they are not, the city ought to plant
them. and, If it can legally do so, assess
the property for the cost. The city might
bear part of the expense. sThe fore
going streets will soon present a very rag
ged appearance. In fact. two of them do
now, because of great gaps between the
trees along their sides.
Flowers are very beautiful, of course,
but ID costs a good deal to care for them
Besides they are not in season when the
the city is full of visitors and the places
reserved for them in the squares are rath-
er unsightly in the winter season. Why
not confne the flowers to the park?
If the commission had a large appro-
pration-enough for both flowers and
trees-there would be no objection to
spending money for flowers, but as the
appropriation is so small, would it not be
better to devote more of 1t to trees?

THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The very large majority by which the
House on Friday adopted the resolution
for a constitutional amendment providing
for the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people justifies the
conclusion that the amendment will be
adopted by the Senate. and approved by
the requisite number of the states through
their respective Legislatures. The ques-
ton of changing the method of electing
senator's has been under discussion for a
number of years There is no doubt that
the great majority of the people favor the
proposed change. The members of the
House are in close touch with them, and
therefore know what public sentiment on
this subject is.
In some of the states senators are now
practically chosen by direct vote. These
elections are ratified by the Legislatures.
These Legislatures could of course
ignore the wishes of the people, because.
under the constitution, the right to elect
senators is lodged in them. If the con-
stltution should be amended, however. in
accordance with the resolution adopted by
the House, legislatures would have Moth
ing to do with the matter
The demand for a change in the method
of electing senators is no doubt due to
the frequent scandals connected with SEN
atorial elections In a number of in
stances in recent years there have been
charges against certain senator's that
they got into the Senate by the 100 free
use of money. The case of Senator Clark
of Montana is in point A committee of
the Senate has decided to report in favor
Of declaring his seat vacant on the ground
that he secured il by means Of money.
There would be no such complication as
there is in the case of Senator Quay of
Pennsylvania If senator's were elected by
the people II looks as if Mr.. Quay would
get INTO the Senate Notwithstanding tho
fact that the law and presidents are
against him. If he had TO go before the
defeated
1t is probable that II the proposed
change is made ADLER men will not be
sent 10 the Senate. Men who have
money, and nothing else to recommend
them, will stand about as good a chance
to get into the Senate then as they have
now. because. instead OF buying members
Of the Legislature they will buy the Court
House politicians who run the primaries.
1t may take q little more money to do
that. but men who have millions do not
hesitate 40 spend money freely for any
honor they covet. But the people will be
better satisfied IL they have the power TO
make senators.
