SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

/ The sentiment in favor of a constitu-
tional amendment that will make it
possible to elect United States senator's
, by direct vote continues to grow. It
is not confined TO any party and the
chances are that both of the great
parties will incorporate in their next
national platforms a clause demanding
popular senatorial elections. The
Michigan Republican convention, held
the other day to nominate state officers
declared for the amendment. Nearly
all the state conventions have made
similar declarations. The sentiment
is rapidly reaching the point where the
senate can no longer resist it.
II may be true that in cases where
senators have been nominated in con-
ventions and at primaries the results
have not always been satisfactory, but
there is no getting away from the fact
that the primary or the convention plan
is the next best thing TO popular cleo
lions Delegates to a state convention
are, as a rule, nearer TO the people than
members Oh 81 ltSlSldtuIt. Anu III Il
regularly conducted primary election
the majority must rule. Still. primary
is not as good as a direct election.
There has never to our knowledge
been a case at which a candidate, nomi-
mated at a primary election or by a con-
yention,- was beaten for the senate if
his party. controlled the Legislature.
Still the trick might be turned, and 20
make such a trick impossible the consti-
tuition ought to be amended. The people
have a right to voice in the election
of their United States senators. No
body disputes their right to vote on
other officers. Why should they not vote
for senator's?
Let the senators be made directly re-
sponsible to the people, let them under
stand that they are the servants of the
people and they are very apt to be ex
trenely careful in their votes and their
actions. That the Republican majority
in the senate understands this is evil

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The July number of the Bankers
Magazine has some sensible comments
on the recent exposures in the world of
business. Instead of taking a pessi-
mistic attitude, the Bankers Magazine
expresses the belief that, though good
does not accompany the exposures, it
will flow from them. The editor says,
in part:
If ii becomes known throughout the
world that American meat products are
subject to rigid government inspection,
the sales of our meats will be increased
and the packing house Investigations will
have been justified even from a purely
sordid standpoint, The disclosures in re-
gard to some of the insurance and rail-
way companies. though decidedly I'M
pleasant, will also result in setting up a
higher standard of management and the
reputation OF these companies will be en-
HANGED
In conclusion, we are informed by
the Bankers Magazine that 1.-The coun-
try has less to fear from unreasoning
attacks upon capital than from the dis
position OF a few of the large corpora
tions to disregard we'll established bus
mess principles" The public had no
right to expect such sane and reason
able comment from such a source, and
it is refreshing to find it there. 1t is
no doubt true that some innocent pack
ers. some who have kept their estab-
Iishments clean and have sent out only
first class products, have been injured
by the exposures, but they, as well as
the others, will in the long run profit
through them.
Many months must elapse before the
foreign business, or the home business
either, of the packers is as great as 1t
was last year. But sooner or later the
confidence of the public will be restored
and business viii return to its normal
height. And the claim that the results
that have been accomplished could have
been accomplished without so much
publicity is hardly well founded. Just
such blow as was given was needed.
The hackers and the insurance grafters
brought II upon themselves. And they,
as well as the country at large, are
going to be better for it.

THE PROPER SPIRIT.
THE M ETALs

IL is quite apparent now that Utah is
soips TO be properly represented at the
session of the National Irrigation Con-
gress In Boise early next month. At
luncheon given by Governor Cutler at
the Commercial club Thursday, at
tended by number of prominent citi-
zehs or the state, it was decided to
raise $4,000, the money to be used in
making good showing for Utah at the
congress. The greater part of the
money was pledged at once, and it is
thought that there will be no difficulty
in securing the balance by popular
SUBSCRIPTION.
1t is not necessary fer The Herald
to commend the cause of irrigation TO
the Utah public. All of us believe in
IL, all Of us know that ii has accom-
plished tremendously beneficial results
in the arid and semi-arid states, and
everybody is interested in making a
first-class showing at Boise. F. ].
Kiesel, member for Utah of the execu-
tive committee of the congress. urges
that a delegation big enough to war
rant special train be sent from Utah.
1t is to be hoped that this can be done.
The special train is, however, merely
incidental. 1t would promote a better
acquaintance and more good fellowship
among the Utah delegates, but it is not
absolutely necessary. What is neces-
sary is that the state make such a
showing, both in exhibits and in attend
ance, as will keep it in the van of the
irrigation procession. Utah has not
received her fair share of the benefits
of the national irrigation act. One big
project is under way in the state. but
there is plenty of room for other big
projects. and we want them started.
The only way to get these projects is
to so after them, to go after them in
such a way that our intentions cannot
be mistaken. our determination TO sue
coed disregarded. The irrigation move
ment was started in Utah; the first
practical results from irrigation were
accomplished here. The national irriga-
ton act was pushed through congress,
in part, at least, by the active efforts of
Utah's congressional delegation. So if
any state is entitled to special irrigation
favors that state is Utah.
The earnest men who are in charge
of the Utah plans may be depended
upon to spare no personal effort, but
they are entitled to and they should
receive the cordial support of every
citizen

cUccEss TO THE VETERANS.

Salt Lake and Utah veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republican are go
ing to the national encampment of
their organization prepared to lay be-
fore that gathering the advantages of
Salt Lake City as the meeting place in
1905 or 1909 at the latest. 1t seems to
be conceded that the encampment of
next year will go to Dallas. Tex. To
start a campaign for big convention
a year or two years in advance of its
assembling may seem to some people
inadvisable but it should be remem-
bered that success in such things comes
only after diligent effort.
The veterans this year will make it
their business to advertise Salt Lake.
They will tell their comrades about the
beauties of the city and its desirability
as a convention location. Thus the
G. A. r. men will get started to think
ing about Salt Lake. Their interest will
be stimulated and. by the time an
other year rolls around, they will not
have TO be told what so many civic
boomers wait until the last minute TO
tell. 1t is not at all improbable that
Salt Lake will win the 1908 convention.
We would be very glad indeed to en-
terrain the national organization of the
men who fought for the old flag. Their
ranks are thinning sadly year by year.
Their average age today is not less than
65 years, and within another generation
only a handful Of stragglers will be left.
The others will have gone TO join their
comrades on the other shore. Before
it is too late Salt Lake would like to
do honor to these brave men. The city
would take a peculiar pleasure in
throwing open it's homes to them, In
paying every attention that could be
paid to the most highly honored guests.
There is no reason to believe that the
attendance would be beyond the ca
pacity of the city. Salt Lake is growing
rapidly and a convention that would tax
us today will easily be cared for in
1908 or 1909. There will be ample sleep
ing accommodations here, a magnificent
building in which to hold the conyen-
ton, plenty of food and other accom-
modations. The Herald again wishes
the Utah veterans all possible success
in their Salt Lake propaganda and as
sures them they will have the entire
city behind them in their work.
