THE TURNING DOWN OF JONES.

Boston Transcript: Jones Of Arkansas
appears to have been the victim of an oc-
topus boomerang.
Washington Post: We have a notion that
the election news from Arkansas stirred up
the blooded heifer and the other occupants
Of a certain Nebraska farm.
indianapolis Journal: Evidently the
democrats in Arkansas do not accept Mr..
Bryan's assurance that Senator Jones' cot
ton baling combination is not a monopoly.
Philadelphia Record: The defeat Of Sena-
tor James X. Jones in his effort to have
himself reelected to the senate from Ar
kansas further knocks away the underpin-
ming from the Kansas City platform. Sena-
tor Jones is an old campaigner and has
seen long service in congress. but his party
is evidently no longer willing to follow
him in forbidden paths.
Baltimore American: That he was a drag
about Bryan's neck and a halter upon the
party is undeniable. Had he given way to
a more energetic. sympathetic and capable
man the democracy would certainly have
Jared better. That 1t will profit immensely
by his foreshadowed retirement: that it
will have more astute leadership in the
senate and that. taken all in all. the coun-
try will do better for his elimination, are
truths which need no argument for sub
sanitation.
New York Sun: Unless the returns have
been twisted, the Hon. James P. Clarke
will succeed the Hon. James X. Jones as
a senator in congress from Arkansas. As
a political manager and weaver of rosy
bulletins, Mr.. Jones has been a treasure
and a Joy; and he is an amiable sort Of
chap and we'll liked in the senate. But It
takes a 'slicker" man than he to be an
octopus and an octopodicide. the slayer
and the slain. AS the bard OF the Ozarks
sings:

Election of
Portland oregonan Crep.).

The legislature Of the great state OF
Iowa, the Massachusetts, Of the middle
west in stock and political traditions, has
passed a joint resolution asking congress
to submit an amendment to the constitu-
ton so as to permit the election OF
United States senator's by popular vote.
This is the answer Of the greatest state OF
the transmississippi west to United States
Senator Hoar's announcement that he will
do his best to prevent the submission to
the states Of a constitutional amendment
providing for the election Of senators by
the people. Senator Hoar is an old man,
in his seventy-sixth year, but he may, and
probably will, live to see this political re-
form he opposes enacted. Outside OF the
United States senate 1t meets with no OPP
position from any influential faction Of
either party, and this means its enactment
for changing the mode of election to the
United States senate is due to the fact that
men are sent to the senate by venal legis-
latures whose ability and standing do not
warrant any such elevation. The legisla-
lures in a number Of states have elected
senators whose sole claim to the honor
lies in their wealth and their willingness
to use 1t, directly or indirectly, to pur-
chase the senatorship. A popular cleo
ton would not entirely redeem this dis
situation, but 1t would certainly
reform it 1t is. of course. true
money can be used in popular cleo
tions, as we'll as in legislative elections,
but it cannot be so easily and so economic
ally employed to obtain a sure venal re-
suit. A nomination can be bought by
money in a convention, but a nomination
does not always mean an election. A man
may buy a nomination and yet be COM
beaten at the polls. If a legisla-
is venal, a man like Senator Clark
Of Montana can get the senatorship, but
1t is impossible to buy up an entire people.
Furthermore, a strong reason for chang
ing the present mode Of electing United
Omaha daily bee., 1902-04-04

States senators is that the system does not
always elect. Vacancies through failure OF
the legislature to elect have occurred within
the last ten years in Washington, Oregon.
Montana, Pennsylvania, and at the present
time the state Of Delaware is left wholly
unrepresented in the United States senate
through the inability OF a faction rent leg
~islature to come to a decision. A system
under which the of a
state in the United States senate is pos
sible is become vicious in its results. and
needs utter reformation by absolute ex-
%tinction. The house OF representatives has
four times passed a constitutional amend
ment making senators elected by the pop
ular vote. More than half the states.
through their legislatures. have asked for
the adoption Of this amendment, and yet
Senator Hoar pleads that the amendment
would be a breach Of the national pledge
that the equality OF the states would not
be destroyed without the consent Of every
one of them. But changing the mode Of
e~lecting the senators from the legislature
to the people still leaves each state with
two senators In the upper branch and on
an exact equality. Many senators favor the
amendment. and IL two-thirds of the senate
in the amendment already passed
by the house, three -fourths Of the states
will ratify their action.
The opposition of Senator Hoar is with
out foundation Of fact and reason. and Is
very bad policy, for the states will be sure
to obtain their will ultimately by the pas
sage OF resolutions demanding reform at
the hands Of congress.
The unsnimity Of the popular demand is
attested by the fact that the Philadelphia
Press, a stif radical republican administra-
lion organ, pleads for the popular election
Of United States senators as strongly as do
the independent voices Of the New York
Post, the Boston Herald. the
Springfield Republican and the Brooklyn
Eagle.

Concerning the Corn Crop.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The idea of a 800, 900. 900 corn trust is a
practical one, IL the captains of capital con-
clude to bunch their resources for the pur-
pose. The modus operandi was pointed out
in the Enquirer more than two years ago.
A trust for the control of all the cereal
and agricultural products OF the country,
not by the agriculturist producers, but by
the controllers Of capital, is highly prob
able. When 1t Is brought about the farm
ers will know more about trusts.

The minority report in the house of
representatives on the proposed pure
food legislation raises the old point of
states rights, denying to the national
government any constitutional right to
exercise such powers Of regulation. This
was once a much-disputed question, but
the courts have passed on it repeatedly,
upholding the federal authority under
the interstate commerce clause of the
constitution. The states unquestionably
have the right to enforce regulation of
food products within their jurisdictions
but under present industrial conditions
are unable to cope with the problem In
its entirety. Pending congressional pure
food bills may have Objectionable fea-
lures. but the states rights plea will
hardly make n impression against
them at this stage Of the proceedings.

II was to have been expected that the
great railway millionaires would bring
strong pressure to bear upon President
Roosevelt to change or modify his an
nounced decision to prevent discrimination
in rates and restraint OF trade and COM
merce. These millionaires are now carry
ing millions upon millions of dollars worth
Of stocks that they do not want and bought
only for the purpose OF gaining control OF
great properties and then unloading a large
share Of the securities upon the public at
advanced figures. The course of the De-
partment of Justice, under directions from
the president, has made 1t impossible for
them to sell their securities and at the
same time has cast the shadow OF strong
doubt upon their title to despotic control of
the transportation service OF the country.

have thrown. or soon will throw, down the
gauntlet to the president, the challenge
