The Times Union and Citizen, of
Jacksonville, recently contained the
following editorial utterance:
"All Florida joins in the earnest
hope that Mrs. Ellen Call Longs
History of Florida will not long re-
main unpublished" Such sympa-
thetic and sincere recognition of our
local heroes as she could and would
pay, such inner knowledge of the
difficulties Surmounted and the tri-
umphs achieved as she could furnish
would give us just the book we want
for our own gratfcation and the
study of coming generations. Could
not the Superintendent of Education
do something toward bringing about
a consummation so much to be de-
sired in the interests of the whole
State?"

In the death of ex-State Senator
Ziba King, of DeSoto county, which
occurred at his Arcadia home last
week, the State loses one of her most
active and influential citizens. He
was widely known throughout the
South as the "cattle king" of South
Florida. Many years ago, when this
section of the State was almost a
wilderness, Ziba King went extern
siVely into the stock raising business
and by perseverance and keen fore
sight he succeeded beyond the aver
age-amassing a fortune estimated
by his home papers at 100000.
For years he had been quite active
in the politics of his section, and
served with distinction in both
branches Of the Legislature. A
wife, five sons and one daughter
(Mrs. E. A. Houstoue) survive.

BY DIRECT VOTE

H'eIefFlng TO the resolution recent
ny passed by the Pennsylvania Legis-
nature, calling upon Congress to pro-
vide for a Constitutional Con7en-
"lon with a view to adopting an
amendment making provision for
~he election of United States Sen
:atorS by direct vote of the people, the
New York Journal says:
On the 9th of last month the
Legislature of Pennsylvania unan-
amously adopted a resolution re-
'questing Congress to call a conven-
Hlon for the purpose of proposing an
amendment to the Constitution of
&he United States providing for the
election OF United States Senators
Fly the people.
This differs from the many other
resolutions on the subject passed by
~other State Legislatures in being
mot merely an expression of opin-
non, but the initiation of legal pro-
scess which, If followed up, will pro-
"duce results. The House of Repre-
ssentatiVes at Washington has voted
Hour times in favor Of popular cleo
-tions of Senators, but the Senate has
invariably administered knockout
sdrops to the reform. But if two
7thirds of the State Legislatures call
flor Constitutional Convention the
Senate will have no choice. Con-
:gress will be compelled by the Con-
s5tituton to call the convention.
'"The Pennsylvania joint commit
9tee in its report shows that twenty

wOr of this reform. The list in
