Direct Election
of u. S. Senators.

The Atlanta Georgian which is an
enthusiastic advocate of the direct
election of United States senators
says:
Two more states have established
a direct election of United States SEN
ators. Iowa and Washington have
Joined the procession, making five
states this year, and d total of eigh-
teen The Northern states are Ore
gon, Washington, North Dakota, Wis
consin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
Oklahoma, with unanimous house in
Pennsylvania and tie vote in the
senate and the contest still "on." The
Southern states are Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes-
see and Kentucky.
The Georgian is wrong so far as
Florida is concerned, the state senate
no longer ago than Monday having
voted to indefinitely postpone reso-
luton calling for the direct election
of United States senators.
1t is true that Florida does, through
her primary system, practically elect
her United States senators by direct
vote, but what influences operated to
prevent an endorsement of the plan
by the state senate are far from be-
ing clear and it is nothing to the
credit of the senate that such en-
dorsement was denied.

WAGES and Dividends.

Railroad directors have frequently
been criticised for having increased
their dividend rates at a time when
cost of labor and supplies were ad-
vanCing so rapidly. An official esti-
mate of the cost of the Pennsylvania
railroad of the recent advances in
wage scales on the lines directly op-
Grated east of Pittsburg, puts 1t at
$9,000,000 annually. The cost of the
increase in the dividend rate from
to Z per cent has been approximate
ly $3,000,000, or only a third of what
has been added to the compensation
of agents, train crews, and workmen
of all classes in the same time.
On the other lines where the share
capital represents a smaller proper
ton of the investment in the plant,
the ratio of increase in dividends from
to 6 per cent makes a difference
of about 81 100000 annually. whereas
the advance in wages amounts in
gross to four times that amount

The Expenses of
the Political Primary.

In commenting on The Journals
proposition to have the state pay the
expenses of the election machinery
of the primary the White Springs
Herald rather cynically remarks:
That's a pretty fair suggestion. The
people of the state demanded the prt-
mary system and they should pay
the expenses. But if the democrats,
republicans, prohibitionists, socialists
and others each wanted primary
election at different times the expense
would be quite heavy on the state.
But the money must be spent any
way, so just as well scatter it around
among the people on primary cleo
tions as any other way.
We are in doubt from the above
as to whether the Herald is opposed
TO or in favor of the plan, but we
would direct attention to one point
mentioned, viz: If all of the various
political parties in the state should
desire to take advantage of the state
primary law under which the state
was to pay the expenses, 1t should
be provided, as in other states. that
the primaries should all be held on
the same day.
1t is not likely that any of the
parties outside of the democratic par
ty would take advantage of the law
for years to come, simply because
all of them are so small, but the
fact that they did so would not inter
fere with the principle involved or
would it materially increase the ex-

The Metropolis lifts its hat to the
House of Representatives of Florida
for taking our advice to kill the joint

vote of As to Is, or more than three

Senator Beard is an able man, but

feared, would open up new complica-

Acted Wisely.


The Florida House acted wisely in
defeating the Beard resolution, which
had for its object the notification of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments of the federal constitution.
That body seemed to take Senator
Williams view of the resolution,
namely, that if it were passed it
would have the effect of making the
state a sort of political football in the
next election
1t is claimed that the points made
by Senator Beard against the two
amendments have never been passed
upon by the United States Supreme
Court. 1t is possible that they have
not, but the opinion is pretty gen.
orally held that about every conceiv-
able objection to them that could be
raised has been presented to that
court and passed upon. They have
stood the test of years, and it is a
pretty late day to attack them with
much, if any, hope of success.
If Florida wants to disfranchise the
negro she might adopt the plan of
some one of the states that has dis
franchised him. In the Georgia cam
paign it was pretty conclusively
shown that in Georgia the negro was
practically disfranchised without the
passage or dlSfranchlSement laws.
The cumulative poll tax and the white
primary are the effective instruments
used. and there is no question of their
constitutionality. And the negroes 90
not feel aggrieved by being disfran-
chised by them. Still, the majority
of the people in the last gubernatorial
contest favored acknowledgements
amendments to the constitution, and
such amendments will probably be
submitted to the people by the Legis-
lature which will assemble next
month.
There doesn't seem to be call for
Florida to try any disfranchisement
experiments beyond those which are
being tried in other Southern states
