Reforming the Senate.

u.s. d 8 i e IL y 4 II
Mr.. Robert Lincoln o 'Brien s article
in the Outlook on the new men of the
senate serves to remind one that not
withstanding the failure to force a
direct vote for senators changes are
being made in the personnel of that
body advantageous to the people.
Since the last election the people
have gained La Toilette, Hemenway,
Warner, Knox who are known to-
be servants of the people. Then there
are other men, like Flint of California,
who will have to show where they
against whom there is no preju
dice on account Of their associations,
but who will have to show what they
are made of. There are still others,
like Buckley and Brandegee Of Con
necticut, who have come into the senate
with machine stamp upon them which
it will take evidence to show they did
not voluntarily submit to. It is too
bad that the terms Of number Of use
less politicians, like Foraker of Ohio,
do not expire until 1909. He and men
like him are still there, but on the
whole there has been some gain.
The significance of these changes in
the senate is that there must be power
full sentiment back Of them or they
would never have been made under the
legislative system of elections. The
story of the new men in the senate is
one Of hope. The senate can be
changed gradually. even under the pres
cnt plan Of selection, if the people are
thoroly in earnest about it.
The movement for an improved SEN
ate should go on parallel with the move
ment for direct elections. Scrape off
the barnacles wherever it is possible,
and the new men will vote to change
the system.
The reign of the Aldrichs and Platts
need not go on forever merely because
the machinery of ousting them is cum
| bersome. If it is hard to apply, give
| it more application.

DON'T LIKE SITE
Some st. Paul Aldermen Want Audito-
rum Elsewhere.

Trouble is brewing over the selection
of the site for the new auditorium in
St. Paul. Some of the aldermen are up
in arms against the site selected for
the Auditorium, four already being on
record as saying they would refuse to
give an approving vote to the purchase
Of the six inside lots in the block
bounded by Fourth, franklin, Fifth and
Washington streets. Three others say
they are opposed to the new site but
win not say they will refuse their Off
cial approval of the purchase when the
time comes.

Serene S.. Pratt, in "Our Financial
Oligarchy," in The Worlds Work, for
October, draws a startling comparison be-
tween the United States senate and the
similar body Of high financiers who con-
troll, by similar methods the financial
destinies of the nation. The article is
Illustrated with the portraits of sixty one
of these Senators of Business.
These, are our business rulers, the men
whom we have by our proxies, as stock
holders, elected as the trustees of our
properties. They have acquired practi-
cally an oligarchical power. The seventy
six hold an aggregate of9about 1000 di-
rectorships in stock companies whose
capitalization stands for the most i'm
portant-the dominant-part of our ma
tional wealth. John Moody estimates
that the trust power Of the United States
is $20,379, 600, 900. These men control that
power and more. They are also the
dominant influence in the banks. and trust
companies having deposits of $4,000, 000,-

100000. An analysis of their power will
show that fully one hundred Of the great

. DIVORCE REFORM
The Filler Substitute is an
Admirable Compliance
With Uniform Demand

The Senate yesterday passed as a
substitute for the McNinch divorce
bill the bill offered by Senator Eller
which places the laws as to divorce as
they are written in the Code of 1888,
with the exception that it is not now
necessary in order for the wife to OBJ
tain a divorce for the scriptural
clause to show that the husband had
separated from her and lived in
adultery.
The first two sections of the Code
of 1883 read as follows:
ID If either party shall separate
from the other and live in adultery.
Cd If the wife shall commit
adultery.
The McNinch bill made the. section
of the Code apply to either husband
and wife and provided another clause
of pre-nuptial immortality. the idea
being that it was a fraud upon the
marriage relation.
The Eller substitute makes the first
section read if the husband shall COM
nit fornication and adultery.
The act as to divorce, when con-
Cured in by the House, is therefore
as follows:
Marriages. may be dissolved and
the parties thereto divorced from the
bonds of matrimony, on application
of the party injured, made as by
law provided, in the following cases:
90 II they shall commit for
nication and adultery.
"(2.) If the wife shall commit
adultery.
"(3) If either party at the time
of the marriage was and still is nat
urally impotent
"(4) If the wife at the time of
the marriage be pregnant, and the
husband be ignorant of the fact of
such pregnancy and be not the faith
er of the child with which the wife
was pregnant at the time of the mar
riage."
The legislation above set forth is
In line with the crusade set in mo-
ton by q vast number of citizens of
the State including 400, 900 church
members for the repeal of lax di-
vorce laws and in practical measures
meets with their views and approval,
although the majority perhaps favor
ed the passage of the McNinch bill.
which placed husband and wife upon
an absolutely equal moral footing
There remains IN force section 1886
of the Code providing for legal
separation from bed and board, the
causes being abandonment malicious
turning out of doors, endangering
life by cruel and barbarous treat
ment, or becoming an habitual
drunkard.
