A sLANDERER OF TEXAS.

In an editorial Of praise for italian residents In this
country and for Italy under the present impulse Of
peace and progress, Golfers Weekly Of New York
says Unlike Texas ard the other place, the society
and the climate OF italy are both good"
There can be objection to what the Weekly says
about Italy Italians but there he for

down. At the best it is stale imitation Of General
sheridans vulgar joke, and at the worst it Is piece
of objectionable SANDER for goes further and says
that the society OF Texas is bad The Weekly does not
specify what kind OF badness It means-whether OF
mind morals fashons--and If called upon probably
couldn't readily answer. In all likelihood the writer
had particular quality in mind he was merely try
ng to be smart at the expense of Texas.
This kind of Joking has gone quite far enough. and
Texas ought to resent it in way that VIII be felt
Simply answering back and deuouncing the Pharisees

State issues will now line up with the party that it
may retain as much Of its power possible at Wash

would pursue complicated by the interjecton OF Ma.

In most Of the States conditions like these prevail.
Legislatures are commonly chosen bienniay. Two

solely with reference to the United States senator

legislatures prime duty neglected only at the
elections in the choosing of the members of the legs

Here is the argument which the advocates Of our
present system can not answer. In addition, it is
claimed with that IL the people chose their
ators directly they would be better satisfied with them
and they certainly would not be than those
chosen for them indirectly.

ANOTHER REASON FOR DIRECT ELECTION or
SENATOR'S -

The death Of Senator Mcmillan of Michigan brings
home to the people of the United States the lesson of
the evils OF our present system of elecng senators of
the United States by the legislatures OF the States in
stead OF by a direct vote of the people
Senator McMillan's third term began in March
1901, and would not have ended till March 1907. Tho
term of his colleague. Senator Burrows runs until
March, 1905. II Senator Mcmillan had lived the leris
Iature to be elected in November would have been
chosen, without any reference to National politics
There are great questions of State policy in Michigan
which should be determined The recent democratic,
State convention devoted its platform issues
and democrats were just beginning to force the re
publicans to meet them upon this ground
All this is changed by Senator McMillans death.
