The MaryIand Plan.

washington Post.
 We prefer the plan provided In the Constitution for the election of united States Senators to that suggested in the platform of the Maryland Democrats; but the Maryland plan is better than that in use in many Of the states ol blanket primary, which Is nuIlitica~ ton of the Constitution in spiar' PIT ,stter' wfs our Maryland friends propose primaries in the various State senatorial and as sembly districts, which preserves tne representative principle and does noI very vicfously assail the Federal feature of the government such as IS. seen in the blanket primary.
 The United States Senate IS the eheck against the license of the masses. anu a balapce upon the power or the ESe cutive. It was established to protect the minority in those rights that are inherited and inalienable, and to assert the principle that absolute arpltraTy power Is lodged nowhere. not even III the largest majority. For this Pur- nose inc Senate has served admirably, and did so minister when the House oI Representatives was yet deliDeratiVo body, something 1t has not been TOT eighteen years. the Government chosen by the people direct There in the House. is popular government if 1t had preserved the Integrity provided 1t by the fathers. 40 It IS given the WaASh not jealously guarded, but has abjectly surrendered. In theory 1t is the real ruler of the American people In practice it is subservient to the mas, ters It's own rules we set oyer 1t. and they, in turn, are sycophantic to Exc. cutive power and obedient to SenatoriaI dictation.

But that IS now A vain story. The President of the United States is the ruler of the American people Day by day is his power augmented, waxing with the growing strength of the nation.
 The Senate has held to its constitu- tional integrity with a Comparatively firm grasp, but it, too will decay when the demagogues have their way and transform 1t from @ Federal to national council

Claim That the Outlook in Their Camp

 Montgomery Ala, Aug. "A. Editor The Advertiser: The headlines in your issue today that The striking Key Men Are Without Funds" and that Unions Deputy President Makes a Discouraging State ment" are very misleading.
 Is 1t discouraging for the officials of the union to tell the men to come to headquarters to secure funds? We think this very encouraging.
 Is 1t discouraging to tell them that they have funds enough in the local treasury to last them ninety days without resort to the general strike fund? We claim not.
 Is it discouraging news to receive that the strike benefits are being paid?
