Senators are practically named In the
primaries and these primaries are
really popular election. Candidates
are chosen in them and the choice is
ratified as matter of course in the
elections.
1t is different. IN Oregon. That
State has adopted the Initiative and
referendum and the people vote on
many questions of public law ard
policy in the election. Their decision
there is mandatory upon the legisla-
ture In all State matters. or course
the choice OF United States Senator
Is controlled by Federal law, which
the State cannot change. But Sena-
tors are voted on Just the same and
the legislature, which Is no more
bound there than In other States by
the popular mandate, nevertheless re-
spects II entirely.
If the Oregon plan was carried out
In other states there would be no
Platts or Depews In the United States
Senate today. but they would be
represented by able men and not fig
gureheads. Virginia has been particu-
larly fortunate In having able repre-.
sentatives In the higher branch OF
the National Legislature, but the
same cannot be said OF the great ma.
jority Of the states In the Union.
Another thing that the popular
choice Of Senators would do would
be to eliminate alI possibility of sen.
ntorial deadlocks which SO frequently
occur. Little Rhode Island has one
on her hands now and the whole
country still remembers the unfortu,
nate experience of Delaware Other
States have been the scene of sena.
torial deadlocks during the last quar-.
ter OF n century. Their citizens have
become acquainted with the deplora,
bic fact that the will of few mon
and not tho desires of majority OF
the people have carried the day, and
the new Senator has gone to Wash
ington uninstructed and able to vote
as he saw ut under present existing
political conditions.
1t has happened frequently that
very few of the voters would know
who the Senator was until the news
papers published an elaborate account
of his career.
If system OF direct voting had
been In existence the successful can
didate would have been known from
one end Of the state to the other. Nc
matter what his ability might be. he
would be the choice of the electorate
and the responsibility for his acts
would rest upon them.
The successful candidate in many
instances could not be elected by the
people in the same manner az the
members of the National House oil
Representatives The political party
machine supports the Senator in his
fight In most States. and under the
present system he secures several
reflections. He often accomplishes
little In Congress. The Senate has
defeated so many meritorious meas.
ures that the sentiment in favor of
the selection of Senators by popular
vote and election by the legislature
is growing strongly year by year. Ore
son has started movement which
is likely to extend over the country
in time.

Fort Dodge, Sept. 25.-John e. Full
Ter, who was found guilty in the dis
trict court at his recent trial on the
charge of wife abandonment, by the
Jury. after a deliberation Of less than
fifteen minutes, was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary at Anamosa
yesterday afternoon by Judge Lee.
Fuller was indicted last year by the
grand jury on the charge of seduction,
and in order to escape punishment
richly deserved. it is claimed, he con-
sented to marry the girl whom he mad
wronged, but left the house immed-
lately after the wedding supper had
been served. Before the marriage he
offered to settle the matter on a cash
basis. and even offered to give the wife
5000 Immediately after h wedding
ceremony on the condition that he be
allowed to get a divorce. This being
refused, he deserted her on the eve OF
the marriage. His arrest followed,
under the recent law passed by the
legislature, and his conviction was a
foregone conclusion before half of the
testimony had been introduced at his
trial In the district court.
In sentencing the man, Judge Lee,
who is presiding at the present ses-
sion Of the district court, said: In
most cases where a defendant is found
guilty. and appears before the cour
for sentence, there are circumstances
by reason! Of which the court instincts
lively feel a sympathy for the prisoner.
This case is particularly lacking in
such circumstances. The evidence
shows that you willfully deserted the
wife who surrendered her honor to
your embrace and the child which was
brought into the world as a result of
your passion. It is the opinion Of the
court that society is jeopardized by the
presence within 1t Of persons whose ac-
lions and ideas follow the trend that
yours have. and in that case reform
Is needed. The court will therefore
sentence you to n year in the re-
f~ornnatory at Anamosa."

He and another man have done some
painting on the Schneider property
