The present T.. S. Scnatoril! 'tvation at Jefferson City
has demonstrated beyond anything that has %transpircd in
recent years. the fact that l.. S. senator's should be elect
cd by a direct vote of the people. This decision has been
reached by people Of all political faith. The fact OF two
or three PARTISAN politicians who wish to control the pat"
rOrag. and pic OF a state, havlng the power to block the
machinery and thus obstruct national representation, is a
disgrace. and the sooner this power is taken out Of their
hands the better it will be for our state. The sentiment
for a direct vote on l.. 5. Senator is becoming general.

is hard to determine to what element hc has surrendered,

with a lot OF rot to the effect that Gov. Folk has surrcnd-
cred to the 'Hockcry Machinc.' That Gov. Eoik has
occasion to surrender to any machine or set Of machine
manipnlators, is orcposterons and only serves to make the
people who rcad Editor Erokmcycr's rot laugh at his in

himself ont OF the mud without barking at men who have
succeeded by their own good work.

Some Hope of Peace.

Chicago, May 1S.-Aside from the
presence of Gompers the influence
that gave promise of a settlement of
the strike today was the arbitration
committee appointed by the Chicago
Team Owners Association and the
Teamsters' Union. The committee is
expected primarily to clear up the
controversy which for several days
has threatened to result in general
strike. The team owners are a side
issue in the strike situation, and their
attitude does not indicate the atti-
tude of the Employers Association.
The team owners, however, have by
many been conceded to hold the key
to the situation, inasmuch as an at
tempt by the team owners to force
the team owners to force the drivers
to deliver goods to the affected hous-
es would apparently mean the i'm
mediate spread of the strike.

Rojestvensky Not Broken Down.

st. Petersburg, May 18.-The fears
expressed that owing to a reported
nervous breakdown of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky. the Russian fleet IN
the Far East would lose it's present
commander in chief, turns out to be
unfounded. At the Office of the Minis
ter of Marine today the statement is
authorized that that Rojestvensky
has not applied for relief from duty.
However, the condition of his health
continues TO be a source of anxiety.
The report may have arisen from the
fact that it had virtually been decid-
ed in view of his health to send Vice
Admiral Birileff to VIadivostock to
take over the supreme command in
the event of a successful battle and
the arrival of the feet there.
