Popular Election Of United States Senators
From the Philadelphia Press

lature elects whichever candidate gsts
majority in the election Of Legislators.
But this is a poor way and q machine
way.
Oregon has the best plan. better than
any party primary alone. in vote at
the party primary first. aud then a
vote on Senator at the regular election.
This leaves the action of the Legisla-
ture in s'electing" Senator like the
election OF a President by Presidential
Electors, o mere form. This is the re-
form needed. In Michigan the Repub-
lican Convention has demanded this
change. In Iowa both Conventions
were in favor of it. Ia Wisconsin the
same step has been taken. An sgita-
tion in favor of this reform is in pro-
gress in New Hampshire and Vermont.
A movement like this is bound to
sweep the country. One half Of the
States in which the election Of Senator
is Just now a vital issue because of the
close of a term have thus far adopted
this reform. An agitation exists in
almost every State in the Union in
favor of it. 1t is mere question OF
time when a popular vote will be the
universal rule for the selection OF
Senators.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.


This AdUice Won't Suit Corporations
The coming Legislature should enact
law to prevent railroads from charg-
ing rates high enough to pay the cost
of the road the first year Of consrruc-

the miners and merchants reasonable
rates and Nevada will continue to de.

Blind Girl Telenhone Operator

One of the most rapid and accurate
operators in the Virginia City Telephone
Exchange is Miss Susie Davis, a 20-year-
old girl, who is totally blind. A few
months ago Miss Davis took up teie-
phone work, and in spite Of the predic-
tion of friends that she would be unable
to do the work. she soon mastered all
the numbers on the large switchboard.
She works as fast as any Of the other
young women. and her record shows
that she makes fewer mistakes than
many of the employees. For a number
of years she has been attending the
school for the deaf and blind at Berke-
ley. California.

FRUITS OF A NARROW POLICY


1t is gratifying to learn that the
trouble in which the Hibernia Bank OF
San Francisco finds itself is not likely
TO be serious. Under official examina-
tion the bank appears to have abund-
ant available money to answer all prob
able demands; furthermore. other
banks stand ready with sufficient ad-
vances to make good any possible defi'
cheney. The distrust Of the Hioernia
Bank, which appears to be very gen.
eral, is based upon the know ledge that
this institution for many years made 1t
a cardinal point in its business policy to
accept no securities in California ex'
cepting within the limits OF the me-
tropolis. 1t was always a free lender.
but it always demanded city securities.
In the disaster. therefore. it was
a prodigious sufferer, and while It's
solvency is not to be questioned, its
strength. compared with what it was

good purpose in illustrating the folly of
carrying too many eggs in one basket.

Perth Amboy is a city twice as
large as Bridgeton, and it is safe to

their manner of living, would tend to
show that Perth Amboy needed a
park fifty times as badly as does her
South Jersey sister. Yet Bridgeton
has a park of 700 acres and this city

The suggestion about the Eagles
wood water works is good. Here is a
little body of water that could be
made into as pretty a lake as one
could wish to see. 1t would not cost
a great deal to lay out a few drive
ways and paths and clear off the sur
rounding territory sufficiently to
make it an ideal spot. There are
woods and open land; there are hills
too. All would blend to make a
charming place. Then, if it were pos
sible to secure the old Florida Grove
site with the bluff overlooking the
river, nothing would be wanting to
furnish this city with a park second
to none in the state.
The city owes it to its inhabitants
TO take this matter into serious con
sideration. A park, such as this
would be, is not a luxury. 1t would
bring joy and happiness into hum
dreds of homes in this vicinity. 1t
would mean health and strength to
little ones who now must get their
fresh air through a window or in the
gutter on the street.

kept, would be a big asset to the city

MONDAY, JULY 16.
A PARK is NEEDED.

Several communications have been
received at this Office of late, regard
ing a public park where the people of
the city can go to spend an afternoon
or evening. Every letter has called
attention to the old water works at
Eagleswood, and the surrounding
territory, as a suitable place. These
letters are such as come from people
who would appreciate a park most
and who probably have nc yard, and
little or no porch room at home
where the wife and children can be
out doors during the warm days and
evenings. 4dary.
If there is- ssted iy in the state
sSball. :. :,
in Pera Amboy. One glance at our
population and the in which
a majority of the families live, con-
vinces one of this. But If further ev-
idence is needed, one need only walk
through the little square in front of
the city hall on a warm afternoon or
evening. Many of the women, with
children, seen there have come a con-
siderable distance to enjoy the trees
and the grass. But the place is de-
cidedly too small. 1t is not a park,
but 1t tends to show how badly a
park is needed.
In the Municipal Journal and En-
gineer" for July Ii is a brief sketch
of Bridgeton, a city Of but $4,000 in
habitants, situated in South Jersey.
Three of the paragraphs in this
sketch are as follows:
approximately $500 900 of the out
standing Indebtedness was incurred
for street paving, largely with as
phalt block, of which $4,000 square
yards were laid seven years ago at a
cost of 1920 per yard. Preliminary
plans are being considered for addi-
tional street work, estimated to cost
$50, 900.
Bonds for $4,000 were issued for
the purchase and improvement of
City Park, a beautiful natural park
of about 700 acres, located near the
city. This is one of the show places
of Bridgeton, containing two large,
picturesque lakes connected by a race
way n mile long.
THE city has paid fire and police
departments, both well equipped, am
pie water supply, but a very made
quate sewer system, the system so far
installed being mainly for surface
drainage. The city is well and sub
stantially built, streets broad and
well shaped, good sidewalks, and
many handsome private residences
and extensive grounds"
PARTICULAR attention is called to the
second paragraph. There is a city Of
$4,000 people which mas a park o.
100 acres containing two lakes. 1t is
near tho city and the account says

It is ~one. Of the shcy' places o.
