OREGON SETS THE EXAMPLE.

Governor Cummins of Iowa has
called a convention to meet in. Des
Moines on September 5, for the pur-
pose of securing the cooperation of
the various states in calling a consti-
tutional convention to amend. the
United States constitution, that sena-
tors may be elected by direct vote
of the people.
The best way to bring about such a
convention is for states to follow the
lead of Oregon and elect their sena-
tors by the people and pledge their
Legislators to sustain the peoples
choice. Then after public sentiment
is created and public confidence in this
method strengthened. convention
and change Of the constitution will
be but a small matter.
All the states can practically elect
their senators by direct vote, If they
will adopt the statement No plan.
as did Oregon in the recent election.
Under such plan the endorsement of
the peoples choice by the legislature
will not be compulsory, but few legis-
lators will care to defy the people.
Let Iowa take a lesson from Ore
gon and popular elections will soon be
the rule and not the exception. The
way to reform Is to refo. m.

an active and inqulring mind. A
Michigan boy, Ernest Baurman, be-
came interested in the arrowheads
found on his fathers farm, and as he
studied the implements and the chips
he began to wonder how they could
have been made without metal tools.
Noticing the direction in which the
pieces were flaked of, he began ex-
perimenting, ard .int .ly found mat
with piece of oak, slightly pointed
at one end, he could cNip glass or

remove flakes as large az u by "
inches.
