ELECTION OF SENATORS.
Primary Plan lnsures Popular Choice
as Well as an Amendment.

Various objections are brought for
ward against the present method Of
electing senators. but all of them can
be obviated without amending the con-
stitution Tor that express purpose. The
primary plan now in force in Alabama
and several other states is both salts
factory and conclusive. At the gen.
eral election next before the assem-
bling of the legislature which has to
elect q senator the people can vote for
their choice for that office and the
legislature will be bound TO elect that
man. unless he dies in the meantime.
BY that plan the people really select
the man. but the state elects him
Just as the constitution now directs
and there is no conflict Of authority.
The state elects. but the people Sc
lect The will of the people is car
ried out, and the federal constitution
is Obeyed.
Each state can easily adopt and car
ry out this plan. and it will be salts
factory. and viii avoid the trouble and
expense Of amending the constitution
What is more important. it will pre-
serve the autonomy Of the states as
at present. and that is something that
should be sloutlv adhered to.-Mont-
gomery Advertiser.

Brother. you ere treading on danger
Gus ground. on Guaklng soil when You
debate within yourself the advisable
ity and the justification of being a
uust. When 4 man begins comparing
himself with criminals and arguing
with himself that he has as much right
to the fruits Of crime as they. he may
not be on the high road to crime. but
he has his foot in a crack of the fence
with a growing purpose to climb over.
He who hesitates is lost.
This is a most serious matter, for
if the newspapers Join with abandon
the prevailing tendency toward trusts
who shall be left to fight the trusts?
The newspaper offices of the country
are the rendezvous of the octopus hunt
ers The newspapers constitute the
bulwark against the trusts. We will
admit that it is not absolutely effec-
tive. but it is better than no bulwark
at all.
If the newspapers become involved
in trusts the country is lost indeed.
We are pleased to record that So far
the newspapers of Arizona which have
disclosed a tendency TO form trusts
have not received enthusiastic encour-
agement. but have been forced back not
by legislative enactment but by the ac-
ton of legislators unto honest living.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
A Word of Advice from George II.
Pariridge.I

The following article taken from a
pamphlet entitled "Dry Goods Infor-
nation" published by big wholesale
house in Minneapolis, and which:is be-
ing sent out to local merchants, fur.
nishes some good advice for all.
We are facing unusual conditions in
tn, financial world. Faith which
civilized man has in his fellows, and on
which rests the whole enormous
structure OF our credit system. has been
seriously disturbed by the disclosures
in New York during the past year OF the
great insurance frauds, the scounderlis.n
of street railroad msgnates, and the
speculation and looting of banks and
trust compan es New York by the
copper ring. and other sharp witted and
interruptions men.
While the we'll informed in banking
circles in New York have known what
banks and trust companies were depart.
ing from correct methods in their con-
duct of business, and realized such in.
stitutions were a menace to this banking
center, they have had to wait 70: them
to work out their own destruction, and
that has happened to come Just when
the public is surfeited with evidence OF
looting of properties and the division of
unwarrauted profits by means of water
ed stocks, sold to the unsuspecting by
men who have previously stood high in
the financial world,
1t is no wonder when such disclosures
become public that the people become
dlstrustful of all banking institutions,
and show their lack of confidence by
demanding their deposits. To make
the situation more acute, this condition
comes 1ust at the one time in the year
when the west looks TO the east, to not
only return the bank balances usually
kept in New York, but to make liberal
advances to move the crops.
With this lack Of confidence facing the
banks Of New York, Notwithstanding
they hold go millions of cash, thew felt
it necessary to check cash Withdrawals
and temporarily not only decline 10
advance any money on loans TO help
move the crops, but decline to forward
