Election Of senator. By .hs People.

Election of Senators by the People.
The legislatures of a number Of states
are agitating the question OF electing
senators by direct vote of the people.
1t is question that will not down, and
II Is merely u matter of years until the
constitution Is SO amended as to per-
init this great gain for the people,
More than twenty state legislatures
have passed resolutions looking to the
adoption of the necessary constitutions
al amendment. In Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennessee. Georgia. Alabama
Virginia. Louisiana and Arkansas they
now have system OF choosing the
Democratic candidates for the senate
in the primaries. Each candidate for
the legislature has to pledge himself to
support for the senate that candidate
who receives plurality Of the votes
cast in the district represented by the
member of the legislature. This seems
to be as near as can be got, as the CON
stitution now stands, to choosing the
senators by popular vote. While the
legislature goes through the form of
electing the senator, it Is merely q
form, for he is chosen by the people.

or which have become hoaIy as
"dead letters are to be rigidly
enforced with all the power at
Executive command---and such is
the proclamation, which it would
be impertinent to gainsay--there
is plenty of material to woAk with.
The Legislature will have nothisG
to do ir that line at present: Lat
er it may be called on to repeal
some OF the "dead letters" that
have remained on the books to
taunt every executive officer who
may venture to be plain spoken
about enforcing law. There may
be call for repeal OF some of
them later. But everybody knows
that they will not be repealed till
they have become obnoxious
through nnyielding enforcement.
Some of the pressing questions
Of the moment are such as cor.
rection of taxation systems, wip-
ing out of exorbitant fees and sal
aries, and thorough purgatio n
and righteous improvement of the
election system. They do not
have to wait till "rum" is inter-
dicted on Sunday, or the sports of
the theater and fields have been
suspended on the day on which
the people have the most time,
and possibly the greater disposi-
tion, to witness them.--Enquirer.

Fosters Reckless Extrav-
agance in
BUYING LARGE BILLS
Which Are Really Unnec-
essary.

It is A well known principle that the
buying power of any given sum is
greatly increased by the distance be-
tween the would be buyer and the
sum. The October allowance viewed
from September looks large and mag
nificent. Having an account, the w0m-
an who sees an allowance In the near
auture orders with a prodigallty to fit
her impressions. IL requires the al
lowance OF November and December
to meet the Indebtedness.
or course the account habit fosters
extravaganza, A woman would hesi-
tate to buy green silk waist or to
order the nectarines which she could
live cOntentedly enough without did
she have TO take the last coin or bill
in her purse to pay for them. But they
are to be charged. Happy thought.
She can have them and keep the money
in her purse-and next month have
none.
~ ! had daughters" said a capital;
ist, II should never permit them to
have an account with any shop. The
account habit Is productive Of more
pecuniary trouble than any OTTER, and
no woman should be brought up In
this country Of feather blown fortunes
on any plan which would not be 4
good one for the poor"
But an account Is so convenient.
One needn't wait for change" said one
woman.
''You can get what you need In May
and pay for 1t In June and have a
months happiness out Of It. Is that
worth nothlng?' asks the second.
TITS all the same In the end" said
third. "You have so much money:
you always spend 1t. What's the diff.
ference II you spend 1t before or after
receiving Il"
The account habit makes debt seem
natural ana not In the least disgrace
full. 1t utterly destroys the habit OF
self denial IN little Injuries. And there
are very few women whose financial
position and whose moral natures are
sufficiently high to be entirely imper-
vious to these things.

A Gracious Act.

Some very gracious things are done
in the house. AS the great debate on
the railroad rate bill was drawing to
a close time was precious and more
members were clamOring for q chance
to speak than could be accommodated.
That was inevitable, because men were
moved to speak by reason of what 9th
ers said. On Tuesday morning Mr.
Stanley of Kentucky was delivering an
eloquent and impasslOned speech amid
great applause. Before his speech was
finished the hammer fell--that is. his
time expired. Thereupon Hon. Morris
Sheppard Of Texas, who had been
promised few minutes by Judge
Adamson, who was managing the bill,
arose and asked Adamson TO give his
time 10 Stanley.

corn harvesters and kindred articles.
1t will be 300x50 feet and is about
half completed. Hay tedders and
leaders, clover bunchers will also
be made here.
AT present they are employing
over 200 men. The first of March
the factory will run day and night
with a double shift. This is neces-
sary to catch up with their orders.
We were also informed by Mr..
Whitley that the company has also
purchased the Acme Manufacturing
Company of Lancaster, Ohio. and
in addition to that has bought be-
tween 20 and 30 acres of land upon
which they are building other fac,
tories. The first building 300x60,
two stories in height is about hall
done. Plows, harrOws, cultivatOrs,
rakes, corn planters, and all smaller
implements will be manufactured
The company will have several
branch factories throughout The
state. Their stove works will be
located at Newark, Ohio. Then
roller mills are at Coshocton, Ohio
Mt. Vernon will have branch fac
tory.
Upon investigation we have found
everything as pictured by their rep.

Mr.. Chsirnan, that IL the highest prsoe-

Democrats lined up against that Is.
the Republicans voted for the sugar
trust and the Democrats voted against
the trust. This was a clear test. l
think | stated tue 0aseHso plainly In the
extract quoted from the Record that no
man could possibly misunderstood
what he was voting on. Nearly every
member was present and voted. so that
1t was practically a full party vote. All
these facts are set forth here to per
haps tiresome length that my readers
may be able to comprehend exactly the
position. the real position. of both Dem
ocrats and Republicans as TO the sugar
trust. If the Republicans line mp for
the sugar trust-one OF the most insa-
table of the whole evil and greedy
brood-on a square test, is the conclu-
sion unreasonable that they would line
up for all trusts when put to the test?
They do it on the Biblical principle that
"the OK knOweth his owner and the
ass his masters crib"
When the vote was announced sus-
tanning Mr.. Chairman Olmsted's rul-

"Having succeeded in reunlting the Re-

40 YOUR WORK FIRST"
Comes From the Hopeful
Public.

A member of the General As
sembly of Ohio has announced
purpose to introduce q resolution
for adjournment early in March.
Public opinion does not belieye
there is II popular desire for
quick exodus of the present legis-
lators. 1t used to be the fashion
to prod the Legislature to an
early dissolution, h common
theory being that the longer the
body was in session the less credi-
table it was to the state, and the
greater was the danger of mis-
takes and disgracefnl performance.
Some of the Legislatures deserved
that estimate. Others did not.
This journal adheres to the sng
gestion it made at the present ses-
sion that mai.y Of the most emf
nent men in our national history
found the steps of the Statehouse
to be an important part of the lad
der of fame which they climbed.
1t urged the men of to-day, chos-
EN- by the people for the most i'm.
portant dnties, TO emulate the
best OF their predecessors, and
stay in session long enough to ac-
complish the reforms that have
been so long neglected.
The boast cannot be made so
far that the Legislature has been
asiduous. Too much time has
been consumed with trivialities
and idealisms, and not enough
with the hard propositions that
are pressing. 1t was the fond
hope that before the declining
weeks of February revision of the
election system, the overthrow of
vicious fee and salary system,
and other equally important meas
ures, would be much further on
the way to the statute books than
they ale. Neither has the wiping
out of some of the legislation Of
/
| the previous General Assembly,
manifestly denounced at the polls
in November last, been led up to
with sturdy and rapid pace.
Let nobody, however, be in des-
pair. There is yet hope, and
there is time, if the gentlemen at
Columbus will only take it. 1t
will be impossible to accomplish
all tn, good things set forth in
the preliminary stages by any
date in March, or probably in
! April, either. III there is dis
tinct and approximately unani-
nous purpose to leave h g s c
things undone the Legislature
might as well go home Immediate
ly after hurrying the appropria-
tions through. OF course, there
is going to be AN ample applica.

lately and obtained 1t to send for per-
sons and papers In the case from st.

That grew out of the fact that Wood
had filed motion to knock out all the
evidence on the ground that 1t had been
changed. altered, curtailed and mu.
tilated by the contestant or his law
ysrs and agents. He supported this
motion with affidayits establishing his
contention. Coudrey filed counter at
