When the Frank r. Long Stock
Co. appeared at the Grand opera
house Monday night the people
naturally expected much of the com.
pany, as Mr.. Long had years ago
established a fine reputation ia
Mitchell for having a first class
dramatic company. AT the close of
the drama we do not believe there
was one disappointed person in the
very large audience. The company
that is behind Mr.. Long is a strong
one in every particular and the
bill that was used for the opening
night brought into requisition the
splendid qualities of the ladies and
gentlemen Of the company. ga Man
of the People" was the, title Of the
drama and it had an interesting story
which was unfolded interestingly as
the play progressed. Many of the
scenes were highly realistic, partich-
larry the one between Tom King, the
striker, and Percy Ruskin, the wner
of the mill, and there were some
pretty strong truths told by the
striker in a vigorous manner. MI.
Byron assumed the former character
and Mr.. Mack the latter. Mr.. Long,
as the man Of the people, was very
strong in the part and gave it a good
presentation. Miss Sullivan is an act
ress of ability, the part she assumed
in the drama gave a splendid oppor-
tunity to make a fine impression on
the audience, and her work was
frequently applauded during the
evening. Miss Haight as Cinders
made a great hit with the audience
in the character, which she did to a
nicely. Will Bruno as Billy, was
her side partner and the pair created
a great deal of fun. This evening
the company will appearin "Queena's
Secret" The company is a meritor-
ious one throughout and is entitled
to the patronage OF the public. Tt
will remain here the rest of the
week. %

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S
BY POPULAR VOTE
o termed
idscetd dream"
BY G. D. AsQUITH

The election Of United States Senators by the di-
rect vote of the people is what might be termed San
iridescent dream" For many years the question
has been agitated inside and outside the halls of Con-
gress. and always with the same result-a further
postponement of the subject by Congress.
A great deal has been said on both sides of the
question and great deal more will be said without,
in nv opinion, any tangible result. Our Constitu-
ton is a wonderful instrument, and has stood the
test of time. 1t stands living, breathing monu-
ment to- our forefathers.
To change the method of electing Senators
would in all probability change the method Of elect
ING our President For our President is not elected
by the direct vote Of the people, are our Repre-
sentatives in Congress. If to elect Senators
by direct vote of the people, Why not the President7
may be asked. But the cry is the election of Sena
tors by the State Legislature is no longer what it
used to be, but that money controls and cleo
tions are bought And again. the Senators do have
no regard for public opinion expressed at the polls
The Washington times., 1902-09-26

by the voters of their States national questions.
Whereas, if the Senators were elected by popular
vote the same the Representatives, the members
of the upper house would then be amenable to public
opinion and there would be less corruption and
scandal.
The trainers Of the Constitution were most wise in
providing that Senators should be elected by the
State Legislatures Despite few scandals that have
marred the election of Senator's the election of
our Senators is the whole, in accordance with the
will of the majority of the people of the States
expressed by their Legislatures. The nomination of
a Senator by State convention would give more op-
portuny for the corrupt of money, and would be
conducive of more scandal and would really more of
ten defeat the will of the people. Whenever the
States themselves want change in the method of
eecting United States Senators and in States,
notably South Carolina, the primary election really
gives the people opportunity to vote indirectly for
the Senator-there will be change for no Congress
has ever ignored the will of the ma jority of the
States as expressed through their Legislatures.

take possession before the Christmas
holidays, which, 1t is understood. was
the date Mr.. Walsh decided to be about
the time OF moving in when the founda-

Mr.. and Mrs. Wal have already
proven themselves gracious entertainers.

that their hospitalities will be dispensed
on an even more elaborate scale when
they are established in their new home,
which is to be far better adapted to en-

LIFE

The value of a thought cannot be told;
But is clearly worth thousand lives
Like many mems And yet men love tc

AS If mere life were worth their living
for.
| What but perdition will it be to most?
| Life's more than breath and the quick
round of blood:
1t is a great spirit and busy heart.
| The coward and the small in soul scarce
do live.
One generous feeling, one great thought,
one deed
OF good. ere night, would make life long
er seem
Than If each year might number a thou
sand days.
Spent as is this by nations of mankind
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts,
not breaths;
In feelings. not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs.
He most lives
Who thinks most-feels the noblest-
acts the best.
Lies but a means unto an end--that end

Why will we live and not be glorious?
We never can be deathless till we die.

And life. SO varied, hath more lowell
ness
In one day than a creeping century
OF sameness. But youth loves and lives
on change.
Till the soul sighs for sameness; which
at last
Becomes variety, and takes it's place
Yet some will last to die out, thought by

And power by power, and limb of mind
by limb.
Like lamps upon a gay device of glass.
Till all the soul that's left be dry and
dark:
Till even the burden of some ninety
years
Hath crashed into them like rock;
shattered
Their system as if ninety suns had
rushed
To ruin earth-or heaven had rained its
stars:
Till they become like scrolls, unread

Through dust and mold. Can they be
cleaned and read?
Do human spirits wax and wane like
