runs from Bethel to Rochester. This
road. although in a ramshackle condi-

not look ahead on the track as much

Electing Senators by a Direct Vote

The report of the boss-ridden Penn
fer with the legislatures of other
states with respect to the election of
United States senators by popular
vote, declares that there is little
doubt that two-thrds of the states
are in favor of the election of United
States senators directly by the people.
In furtherance of the movement, the
committee recommends the adoption
of a resolution requesting Congress to
call a convention to amend the fed
eral constitution.
The Philadelphia Ledger one of the
ablest-edited Republican papers of the
country, in commenting upon this
movement. says: That the election
of senators by popular vote will pre-
vent the delays and deadlocks so
prevalent under the existing system
is certain. That it will invariably
result in the selection of satisfactory
senators is not so certain. 1t may
be said, however, for the proposition
that it places the responsibility of Sc
lection directly in the hands of the
people without disturbing the ancient
principle of the organization of the
Senate-that the several states shall
have equal representation therein.
In states where political action is die
tated by party bosses and the rules
of the primaries and state conven-
tions are deftly arranged to make boss
rule supreme, the nominees for United
States senatorships will not possess
qualifications superior to those of the
state or county officers elected by pop
ular vote. II may be said, too, that
the legislators who are responsible
for the delays and deadlocks in the ef-
fort to elect Senators. and whose Sc
leCtions are so often disappointing
are elected by the people. Members
of the legislature which is expected
to chose a United States senator are
elected with direct reference to the
selection of said Senator, and what
ever mistakes are made in this respect
! are chargeable to the public,

The Alaskan Boundary.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record says that the re
port of the joint committee which sur
veyed the temporary" boundary line
between Alaska and British Columbia
has completed its task and copies Of
the report have been filed i'm Washing
ton, London and Ottawa. 1t is added
that the commission was unanimous,
that the accuracy of the survey is not
likely to be questioned and lit prob
ably will stand indefinitely. as neither
government has good reason to be dis
satisfied" From the first announce
ment of this temporary" arrangement
and the state departments eXpla-
tiOn of the terms of the agreement be
fore they were published, there has
been strong ground for suspecting that
the United States and England in
tended this survey to be permanent,
but called it temporary to save the
feelings of Canada. Under the agree
ment and by this survey the United
States gets about nine-tenths of all it
ever claimed; Canada will not be sat
isfied, but the temporary agreement
has got to stand till both governments
can agree on a permanent definition of
the boundary; the United States has
no motive for reopening the matter,
and Great Britain may be quite sat
isfied that the Canadian claims are not
well supported.-[New York Journal

THE DOWNFALL OF MCCLURE.

The downfall of Marvin A. Mcclure
of Rutland, found guilty of aiding and
abetting Cashier Mussey in abstract
ing $4,000 from the Merchants
National Bank of Rutland, points a
moral" if it does not "adorn a tale"
Mcclure had an ambition which DER
leaped legitimate bounds. He is not
bad man at heart. But he did not
make honesty the foundation of his
manhood He had the common weak.
ness of love of attention and praise.
He went farther than this At a
time when he should have devoted
himself to his business and his family
he was posing as hail fellow well
met He was not unknown at the
gambling table and he played the
races, not for gain he says, but for
fun He was attracted by petty
pomp and thought ostentation great
ness. He spent money lavishly-
money which was not his own and
which he ought to have known be
could never return. His own state
ments show that large sums were dis
sipated through his official connection
with fraternal orders
Nothing ever showed the weakness
and vanity of the man more than his
conversation with an old Grand Army
and National Guardsman in Brattle-
boro in May, 1899, when in resplend-
ent uniform and mounted on a capar-
isoned steed, Mcclure rode at the
head of the state Odd Fellows parade
as colonel of the Patriarchs Mill
tant. After the parade he said he re-
signed his commission as lieutenant
in the National Guard to push him
self forward in the uniformed branch
of the fraternity, and patted himself
in rccOunting his success. or what he
called his success, but which now ap-
pears to have been his degradation
dearly bought. He was the moth. and
that gittering bauble, the title Colo
mel was the lamp which singed him,
and made him a law-breaker, a jail
bird and a parah His practices were
the indirect means of robbing other
people of thousands of dollars, and
Of making thief who is now serving
a long term of Imprisonment, out of
his tool, Cashier Mussey, a man who
had been respected and honored for
years. Not only are the lives of both
blasted but the suffering is visited
upon the innocent families of both.
There is a great lesson here for
those who are attracted by display,
and who are likely to chase the shad-
ow for the substance. 1t is time to
repeat the words OF Judge Dixon, ut
tered recently in Paterson, y. j.,
when he sentenced the four men, who
in a nights debauch outraged and
murdered Jennie Bosschieter: Il
trust the fearful consequences from
this crime will help young men and
young women OF this community and
point out to them that they cannot
hope to secure happiness outside of
virtue and honor"

Suspicion is growing in Washington
that there is a disposition among the
Republican leaders in the Senate to al
low the tax reduction bill to fail of
enactment, as the aggregate of appro-
priations is likely to threaten the sur
plus. With a cut of forty or fifty mil
lions in the revenues, and with the APP
preparations for the coming year foot
ing up $SOOOOO,O0O or more, there is
substantial reason for alarm lest the
income would not be sufficient to meet
the current demands.
