Some dav this great republic will
awaken to the folly of wasting many
hours of valuable time endeavoring to
elect a United States senator by the
present system. 1t not only does not
represent the voice OF the people but it
is an expense which the people must
bear. 1t costs the state something like
$1,000 a day to maintain a legislature
where TINS far not a single bit of legisla-
ton has been enacted, save the introduc-
tiCn of few bills. A crying need is an
amendment to the constitution proyid-
ing for the election OF an United States
senator by direct vote of the people.

does he at poker; nevertheless money
always changes hands and somebody
gets it who is in the legislature with that
end in view. A Doodle game? Yes, to
the shame and disgrace of this boosted
free nation. And it will always be thus
until United States senators shall be
elected by the popular vote of the people.

II noticed said the man in the ven
cradle high hat, that a collection agency
in the east is using a hearse to go round
and call on slow-pay victims. The hearse
draws up at the door and the highly re-
spectacle man on the box beside the driver
descends and gravely presents the oft-pre
sented bill. OF course, the hearse attracts
lot of attention, and the neighbors who
are not on to the scheme are pretty sure
to rush in with sympathetic faces and a
desire to know all about the sudden ca
lamity. If the debtor doesn't settle after
this grewsome call, the black wagon is
sure to come round again and again.
That's pretty good plan, but I don't
think 1t is any better than the one Bill
Minks and 1 worked way back in 10. We
had started a bad debt agency out in
Omaha and found it pretty rough sled
ding. The slow pay fellers laughed at us.
They were conscience proof and Judgment
proof, and they led us a merry dance.
We were Just about to give up the bust
ness in despair when Bill found an old
secondhand steam fire engine in a junk
yard. It was one of those rotary black
jacketed fellers that had seen lots of serv-
Ice and Bill bought it for a mere song.
Well, we spent two weeks tinkering it
up and painting and polishing it. Then
we bought an old horse whose usefulness
was about gone, and doctored him up
and put him in fair shape, and then har-
messed him up to the old rotary. He drew
it along plenty fast enough, and when
everything was ready Bill and / started
off to pay our first call. We drove slowly
until we reached the corner that was
nearest to our victim. Then Bill gave
the old horse the word and we clattered
around the corner and down to the debt
or's house as if we We're the real thing.

folks were in the doorways and the win

excitement. Bill would jump down, wear
ing a cap and a long rubber coat, and dash
up the steps with his bill, and while he
was on the doorsteps I would hang a
sign on the engine bearing these words:
The Makempay Collection Agency. Bad
Debts Specially If we didn't get the
money we would dash up again the next
day and the next day, and so on. 1t was
a nice scheme, and it worked beautifully.
But one day we got into trouble It ap-
pears that our engine horse was an old
fire horse, and on certain Tuesday we
were making our rounds when the fire
bell rang. Our gallant steed pricked up
his ears and then made off at twenty
mile hour clip. That wasn't SO bad,
altho it was hard work holding on. We
thought we would get him down all right,
when round the corner came the real fire
department itself. BY Jove. you should
have seen our old horse fall into the pro-
cession! And away we went Bill hold

oars dropped and the steam chest fell

after. Well, it was all up with us when
the wheels began to 60 Bill dropped the
lines and we both jumped for our lives.
We landed all right. by sheer luck. and

Mayor Low is a man to accomplish re-
formatory purpose, but every man who
starts out on a crusade against municipal
or state corruption must have the
strongest continued support of the reform
element. Heretofore the trouble in New
York has been that the reform element,
after success at the polls, has become
very tired and left their champion to
continue the fight.
Circuit Attorney Folk of st. Louis won
by his fearless lead against the boodlers
of the city council the support of a reform
element which otherwise would have been
too timorous to push things. Folks
deadly earnestness was an inspiration to
the grand jury that unearthed the ma
lodorous scandals and insured convictions.
A man like Folk is a most effective agency
Of reform to have around when a mu-
nicipality finds itself in the hands Of
grafters and scarlet women and bribe-
mongers generally. District Attorney
Jerome of New York is such man who,
like. Folk, strikes when he sees the head
of rat Such men as these are showing
the value Of fearless municipal reform
work. The grafters will stay and do their
work just 50 long as they see the reform
element is hesitant and timorous. No
one can be a reformer without making
sacrifices of personal ease. The grafters
mean business and say 50, and live up to
their professions and will graft just so
long as weak-hearted reformers let, them.

with under the pillow it is Hudson's Die

three pages when these words caught

say that we would not be without one in
the house over Sunday.

the sloWness and uncertainty of the courts of
justice that have developed the spirit of
lynchiEg 1t is the indicted CT and I'M

made TO delay and defeat justice that nave
produced the spirit of disgust rampant in
that tried zolgosz, the murderer OF McKin-

work? One would think from your editorial
it did, and there should have been found ex-
ceptions and technicalities in the law that
would give him a chance to appeal, and have
a re-tr.al, and go free on the plea Of in

temptible decisions of five to four in the SUI
prerae court findings that must go for law
