Senators BY Direct Vote

The Democratic national platform has
II plank calling for the direct election of
senators by the people 1t is good
plank.
A roundabout method of the direct
election OF senator's has worked we'll in
many Of the southern states In South
Carolina Alabama and Mississippi. for
instance, the Democratic voters desig

Democratic legislatures elect without
demur the choice of the people There
il no legal obligation, but there is a
moral obligation, the same kind of Oh
legation which compels presidential

ries ia, comparatively speaking, an easy
matter. 1t depends on the Willingness
OF the political organizations in the DIFF
ferent states. 1t is true that no state
law can compel the men in legislature
belonging to the majority party to vote
for that senatorial candidate who may
have received a majority Of the votes at
the primaries. but some things can be
done by public sentiment which cannot
be done by law If il were dishonorahle

only way in which they can do it in

A Strong Platform

| AT last the democracy of the nation
is back on tenable ground, and stands
for principles worthy of its support
and OF the support of all patriotic Cit
zens. With the platform adopted in
the st. Louis convention there must be
wide approval. Happily it is not con
strncted for demagogic appeal to the
element Of unrest. 1t embraces no in
sidious assault upon the judicial sys
tenn Of the republic nor make hypo
critical demands in behalf of special
interests, be they capital or labor.
The freedom of the press, of con
science and of speech, equality before
the law of all citizens, the right of
trial by jury freedom of the person
defended by the writ of habeas corpus,
liberty of personal contract untram-
meled, the supremacy of the civil over
the military authority. well disciplined
militia, separation of church and state,
economy in expenditures, low taxes
that labor may be lightly burdened,
prompt and sacred fultillment of pub
lie and private obligations, fidelity to
treaties peace and friendship with all
nations and entangling alliances with
none, absolute acquiescence in the will
of the majority. the vital principle of
republics '-such is AN epitome, an ex-
cellent one, of democratic doctrines.
The platform makers wrought wisely
in recognizing certain eventualities AZ
established facts, "a, for example, the
canal project and their proclamation
in denunciation of the trust fostering
tariff and for a gradual conservative re-
vision forms timely relteration of
a doctrine enunciated with wise dis
elimination. If freedom for the Gu
bans was desirable then. too, may it
not be for the Filipnosy This ques-
ton is answered affirmatively, and in
a manner that will accord with the

This il, to put it mildly extremely
unwise; and if carried too far, could no.
but weaken public confidence in the in
tegrity of our courts which should be
above the mere hint of suspicion and bs

our political system. No journalist in

effective the work he may do, or, If he
misdirects this energies, the greater the

To seek to drag the courts down from
the high, bipartisan plane of judicial
integrity upon which they move to the
level of narrow, prejudiced political
chickering's is to SOW the seeds OF sus.
picion in the public mind. The su'
preme court can, of course not
be swerved from judicial rectitude
by partisan considerations But mere
absolute integrity of our courts is
not sufficient for the we'll being Of the
state: the people must beliere in their
integrity 1t is inst N important that
the people should have the utmost con
fdence in the courts ~ il Is that the
courts should be above reproach.
To indulge in ruwise criticism of the
supreme court il to SOW the wind and
reap the whirlwind The courts are
the props of orr free institutions, to
undermine them il to invite the sub
version OF our system of government.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Sept. 26.-Coal has
been discovered few miles west of this city,
and options hundreds of acres of land have
been secured by men of capital in the past few
days. Ex-Railroad Commissioner Chase S. Os.
born owns land on which coal is supposed to
exist, and several persons have endeavored to
options on it, n
Eugene EMenard,s who discovered the. oil de-
posits on Manitoulin island and who has organ
lied several successful oil and coal companies,
has secured an option on several hundred acres
of land and expects to develop his findings. He
has specimens Of the coal in his office in this
city. 49, -.
The locality first attracted attention when,
last winter, blacksmith in lumber camp,
while wandering thru the woods discovered out
groupings of coal. He found enough to keep
his shop supplied several weeks. Since the dis
covery leaked out several prospectors have visit
ed the place, and attractive is the prospect
of one Of the pieces Of property that Mr.. Menard
has already invested money In it.
One of the indications of the deposit is sui
phur spring in the locality, the bottom of which
has never been found. The odor of sulphur is
noticeable for hundreds of feet in every direc
| ton. At night phosphorescent light rises
above the treetops and can be seen for some
distance. If the coal find proves valuable, the
500 will be more attractive to manufacturing
concerns than ever.
