FOR THE MOST PART, GOOD MEN
Senators Should Feel Their Response
bility to the People.

Salina, Kas., July 20.-Three thou
sand persons heard w. A. Harris here
this afternoon at the Chautauqua
meeting. HIS theme was 1.-The Pat
riotism of Peace, " and he devoted the
time almost wholly to an argument
for the election of the United States
senators by the people.
Mr.. Harris deplored the abuse of
the United States senate, INDUCED III
by some newspaper and magazine
writers, and declared it was not wor-
thy the American people to listen
with patience to such talk. The SEN
ate is composed for the most part of
honorable and able men, but it is too
far removed from the people.
Senators should be elected by di-
rect vote, he declared, so that they
would feel their responsibility to the
people who elected them. BY far the
largest Gro wdof the assembly heard
Mr.. Harris. Governor Hoeh spoke
here last Sunday afternoon to one
half the number of people.
1t was believed that Mr.. Harris
would speak on the railroad question
in Kansas, but he did not. Apparent
ly he carefully avoided mentionin"
the Katy suit IN the supreme court
and the campaign for two-cent fare.

speak at the Chantauqua here to-
morrow and Senator Lafollette viii

A old rumor is being revived,
the one one regarding the plan of
the Goulds to acquire the Santa Fe
Central Railway, and to build a con
nection from Torrance via Roswell,
to the Texas Pacific in Texas, thu
placing Santa Fe on a main trunk
line from the Northwest and Denver
to Galveston or some other seaport
on the Gulf, with the probability of
a division point and shops being To-
Gated at Santa Fee. This time the ru-
NOR has official backing by a Could
railway officer. 1t is besides a very
logical proposition, and unless insup-
erable Instructions are placed in the
way, Santa Fe will soon come into
its own, as far as population, wealth
and prosperity are concerned--New

h Record has little faith in the
sudden conversion of New Mexico
Republican papers and politicians 10
the cause of joint stakeholder any
other kind of statehood. The Repub-
licans have fought either joint or
single statehood for years in CON
gress. When the Democrats voted al
most unanimously in congress for
single statehood, the Republicans de-
feated it-and last year, when the
Republican congress and the Republi-
a President were trying to force
through a joint statehood bill, the
New Mexico Republican politicians
and papers with the exception of
two at Albuquerque) did all they
could against jointure-thus showing
that they were opposed to statehood
of any kind. Now that they know
jointure is impossible on account of
the attitude of Arizona, behold they
are all converted to jointure-in the
hope that they can thus divert public
attention from their plan to pack the
legislature of the Territory with
who will protect the old gang
of grafters.
