The Demand for a Popular Senate

The cry for popular Senate" has
been heard in Iowa. Governor Cum
minis has been authorized by the
Legislature to invite the governors of
all the States of the Union to send
delegates to a convention which will
be held ir the Iowa capital next fall.
The purpose Is to bring about con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the election of Senators by the people.
Two methods of amending the Con-
stitution are provided. The first, and
the one hitherto employed. requires
that the Congress, whenever two
thirds of beth houses shall deem 1t
necessary, shall propose amendments
20 this Constitution"
The House of Representatives has
repeatedly passed a resolution pro-
posing the election Of Senators by
popular vote. but invariably II has
been pigeonhoied by the Senate.
Proof has been given. therefore, that
the "Salutary check on the Govern
ment" will never, OF its own motion,
alter the machinery by which its
membership is recruited.
The alternative method is the one
Iowa proposes 10 follow. The Con-
gress on the application of
| the legislatures of two-thirds of the
several States says the Constitution,
shall call convention for proposing
amendments" BY securing the con-
currencs GO two-thirds OF the States,
through their legislatures. Governor
Cummins would force Congress TO
call such a convention
Wherefore. the contest resolves it
self into this: What hold have Sena-
tors on the legislatures of their re-
spective States? Can they prevent
the call for constitutional conven-
ton? And il called. can Senators
then prevent the ratification of the
proposed amendment by the legisla-
lures OF three fourths OF the several
States
II is long process at best, and,
with the sentiment so strong against
the change In the Senate. success is
doubtful. If the people are not
satisfied with their representatives
In the upper branch of Congress, they
need not delay for the adoption of a
constitutional amendment 1t may
be good change 10 work for, but it
is not change to wait for.
Let every disconnected constituency
demand of its Legisl2 ure a direct
primary, whereby candidates. includ-
! ing nominees for United States Sen
ator, may be named by the people.
Thus State Legislators would be
secured pledged TO elect representa-
tives of the people to the Senate of
| the United States. 1t may then be-
come as unheard of for a legislator
TO disregard his pledge as for a
Presidential elector to cast his vote
for one other than the party candi-
date for President.
With the direct primary there
would be no more circumlocution of
popular will in the election of SEN
ators than there is in the election of
! the President

FIGHT ON between TWO
BIG STEEL CORPORATIONS

Pittsburg, Oct. s.-The report of the
Crucible Steel company OF America, just
Issued, shows that concern intends going
after the business OF the Railway Steel
Spring company. In the last depression
OF the steel trale. the Railway Steel
Spring company. In order TO cater 10 the
fnanciers who manage the United States
Steel corporation failed 10 give their con-
tracts for certain grade Of steel 10 the
Crucible company. as had been the prao-
tice for many years. Instead. they shift
ed the business TO the United States Steel
corporation.
The trade was quite loss to the Cruel
BILE company, and retaliatory measures
have been adopted. The annual report
shows that a tract OF land has been pur-
chased near the Crescent works, Pitts
burg. on which the railway spring plant
Is 20 be erected.
II remains TO be seen what the United
States Steel corporation will do. now
that one OF It's patrons is TO be attacked
in IT'S stronghold. The Railway Springs
company Will d-mand protection from the
big fellows In Wall street. II is expected
that as soon as business declines the Steel
corporation will go into the Crucible
trade, unless peace pact Is entered Into
before that time.

ana Gruner was we'll aware that stand
ing IN the middle OF the road was an
exceedingly dangerous position.

Elliott r. Shepard for the killing OF Curt
IL. Gruner In the Vanderbilt automobile
race on Saturday unless ordered 10 do so

Hotchldss card He was driving where
he belonged at a speed authorized by law
for the day and, even II he could have
avoided hitting the victim. Mr.. Shepard
could only have done so by turning his
