POODLE IN DIsFAvoR.

Either the people are capable Of consery-
Ing their best interests in the election OF
their United States senators by direct vote
or they are not There is no tenable half
way ground on this proposition
The National house OF representatives
has declared by an almost unanimous vote
for an amendment TO the Federal oonstitu-
ton providing for the election OF United
states senators by direct vote. What the
house OF lords viii do with the proposed
amendment remains TO be seen. The re-
suit. however, Is not in much doubt. In
fact It may be safely anticipated that the
practical unanimity Of the house In favor
Of the submission OF such an amendment
to the ratification Of the several States
Will be sufficient to engage the opposition
OF the grave aud reverend gentlemen who
proudly constitute the upper chamber
This proposed amendment grows out Of
the shameful revelations which have been
made In the case Of the Montana senator.
Similar revelations have been made be
fore and the potentiality OF the magic
dollar In the creation OF United States
senator's has long been fully understood
and appreciated. In fact, other men thar
the rejected senator Of the sovereign com,
monwealth OF Montana have gained thei
credentials to membership In the United
States senate by the doodle route.
Committees on privileges and elections
have not been able, perhaps, to arrive a
statement Of the dollars actually ex
pended in these cases and consequent,
baye not felt authorized to report adverse

ssscyed that other men than the Montani
