The responsibility for the extra

Able lawyers have contended that
the power of Congress has been ex-
hausted under the authorization of
the constitution in the legislation
provided in restriction of
trusts and it would be farcical to at
tempt to enact a law which the
courts will declare unconstitutional.

The exploitation of frauds is a
growing industry. The advertise
ments of all sorts of fakes would in
dictate that large lumber of peo-
pie live upon the gullibility of
others. These frauds should be
suppressed and legislatures might
spend considerable time proitably
in passing some laws to that effect.

II Democratic papers claim that the
antitrust legislation passed by Con
gress (the Elkins bill passing the
House by al to O is not sufficient
ly drastic to effect much in restraint
of combinations to restrict trade.
Probably these laws will not result
in suppressing combinations. 1t is
doubtful whether such combinations
may not be decidedly useful. If
Congress has not the power under
the constitution to limit the actions
of the managers of these combina-
tons within safe bounds then the
constitution should be changed so
that such legislation might be passed.
The contention of Congressman
Jenkins is that a constitutional
amendment is needed that trusts may

Elect Senators by the People.

The New York Democratic
state committee last Saturday
passed a resolution calling Tor
the election of United States
senators by a direct vote of the
people.
Legislatures in 80 states have
passed resolutions of similar
tenor. A little vigorous prac.
teal work will crystalline the
widespread sentiment into an
overw helming popular demand,
The Senate itself will never
act willingly in the matter.
Action must be compelled when
two thirds of the legislatures
take the definite stel indicated
in the Constitution.
The standard of personal
worth in the Senate is declin.
ing and will continue to fall as
long as elections are by legisla
lures which may be ICON
trolled."
Does anybody believe chat
Tom Plat and Chauncev De-
pew would ever have been
chosen by popular vote to rep
resent the greatest state in the
country? New York is certainly
not represented by these two
persons.
Would Quay be senator from
Pennsylvania on a popular
vote? Would Hanna, Alice,
Stone be seated in the chairs of
Chase, Bayard and Benton if
the people had had a voice in
their election?
The New York committees
resolution is significant. It in
diCates a felt force in public
sentiment which the politicians
always nlmbly obey.-Post Dis

that unless the great powers
will take some decisive step to
put an end to Turkish atroci-

of surprise to some quarters.
In dill lnmatic circles there
were many who believed that
Bulgaria was too weak to make
any decisive fight and on that
account, would not take the
matter in her own hands. 10
Sept Angeloff, the new Bulga-

that should a conflict between
his country and the Porte occur

Pope Is Democratic.

Rome, Sept. 15.-The pope's
disregard of ceremony is de
creasing, and he is yielding to
the Journalism of the vatican.
His holiness principal charac
teristic will remain simplicity,
but the following signal de.
partures from etiquette will be
his last.
The pontiff rose from his
char to receive three Semina-
rists few days ago. He es.
corted some people to the door
of his room just recently. He
occasionally receives people
standing, or, if sitting, some
times even rises.
He most graciously lifts mp
old people when they kneel to
kiss his foot, and persists in
giving them his hand and not
his foot to kiss--a usage of
great antiquity which has never
been abandoned.
