SENATORS BY THE POPULAR
 VOTE.

One of the events of the past week Moines conference called for the pur- pose of giving definite shape to the movement for the election of United States senators by a popular vote About thirty states were represented in the conference but 1t is by no means to be assumed that all the states so represented favor such a change in the constitution as is proposed. At any rate. thirty-seven states will have to join in the call for convention.
 This clamor for the popular election of United States senators is not of re- cent origin, though it is louder now than before It has been demanded by extreme radicalism. notably by the populists and a large wing of the dem ocratic party for years. Now that rad iealism Is rather rampant. there is an increased demand for a popular vote for senators. Human nature has changed none since the founders of the republic believed that the method they adopted for the choosing of sena- tors was the best and therefore if it was the best then it must be the best now.
 It was designed to make the senate the balance wheel of the government ly placing it not out of the reach of the people but beyond the touch of the people swayed as they often have been by unreasoning excitement.
 There have been bad senators. but most of them have been so good that the United States senate is now re- garded and has been so regarded from the earliest days of the nation as the ablest law-making body of modern times.
 Few senators have been chosen by legislatures who would not have been elected by the people in a normal state of mind, but aspirants for the senate who have been defeated would have been elected if they could have ap pealed directly to the people. No one doubts that Addicks, who for years tied up the senatorial situation in Della ware. could at any time have received a plurality of the popular vote. No one believes that the exclusion of Ad- dicks was a bad thing for the country.
 The bad repute into which the New York senators have fallen has been urged in favor of the popular election plan. At the time of his choice by the legislature. there was no other man in New York so popular as Senator Depew. A large majority of the people of New York would have voted for him. Sen ator Platt. though enjoying less of popular favor. could at the time of his election by his wonderful hold on the politics of the Empire state, have se- cured a popular election.
 Several of the states have an ar engagement which in effect gives them the right to choose senators by a popu- Jeff Davis of Arkansas and the un- speakable Vardaman of Mississippi have reached the United States senate. It is an insult to the intelligence of the legislatures of those states to presume that either of the new senators could have been chosen in the old way.
 Governor Beckham of Kentucky, not personally objectionable, but without marked ability, has been able to push aside the able and veteran Blackburn. The experiment has so far not given promise of success.

yer, but l will tell you something
| just the sams AT the last session
Of the Legislature, Dampier and other
county commissioners and county
attorneys and other people secured
the passage OF bill authorizing the
county commissioners to transfer the
surplus OF the fine and forfeiture fund
to such other funds as might need IL.
This was all rgh,, and il it had been
let alone the county commissioner
could have drawn that surplus for
such purposes as in their judgment
needed it most. But through some
influence the Governor vetoed the bill.
Then there was another bill passed,
giving this surplus TO the school board
This was unconettuti ona and in vo-
lation Of our statutes, because it took
from the county commissioners the
exercise OF their legal discretion.
Section 5S5 OF our Revised Statutes
provides that the county commission
ere shall draw no warrant upon any
fund except that for which said fund
was raised. 1t also provides that
should the county commissioners do
such a thing, the county treasurer ia
prohibited from paying the warrant
There is another section which pro.
vides that any county commissioner or
county treasurer who wilfully violates
Section $50 shall be punished by inn
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
by fine not exceeding one thousand
dollsrs. Dampier would not do IT,,
therefore he ia blamed
There is a friendly suit now pending
before Judge Wills to determine
whether there way in which the
county commissioners can use that
surplus.
The county treasurer ia the keeper
OF all county funds. II anybody OBJ.
jects TO that surplus being there with.
out doing Anybody any good, let them
give sufficient security TO the treasurer
and borrow it and use it az they please.

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

Il can tell by my little
ones sleep when a cold is
coming on" said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
" They toss about, are rest
less, their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweats. The next morn
ing | start with SCOTS Emul-
sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal"
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul-
sion always has been almost
magical in its action when
used as the ounce of preven-
ton. Nothing seems to over
come child weakness quite so
effectively and quickly as
SCOTS Emulsion.
