POPULAR ELECTION OF sENA.
TORS

In a suggestive article in the No
vember number of the North Ameri
can Review, Emmett O'Neal, a promi-
nent member of the Democratic party
in Alabama, strongly deprecates the
proposal for the Election of United
States Senators by the People" Mr.
ONeal recites the reasons which in
duced the founders of the republic to
prescribe the method of electing SEN
ators which has been in vogue
throughout the history of the country,
and sets forth certain evil conse-
quences which in his opinion would
follow a system of electing senators
by direct popular vote. He con-
cludes:
For over a hundred years, amid all
the storms Of party passion, the rival
ry and struggles of sections, the
clamor of fanatical agitation, the SEN
ate has maintained its distinctive fea-
lures, calm, dignitie, patriotic yet
/! considerate, firm but not precipitate,
constituting, as was designed by the
Z fathers of the constitution, model
4 second chamber interposing that de-
4 lay which furnished time for rehec-
/ tion and elaboration, checking the
evil effects of sudden and strong ex-
1 citement and of precipitate measur IS,
and protecting the country against
the dangers and confusion which arise
from the enactment of laws which
did rot reflect the calm judgment OF
the people b. the temporary and
transient folly or madness of the
hour, and maintaining unimpaired
the rights of the states and of the
national government If the proposed
change were effected, the division o
the congress into two branches would
prove of no intrinsic value, fo4, elect
ed by the same methods, Influenced
by the same motives, .aey would botl
but duplicat all the evils and dan
gers of a single legislative body"

New York Times financial leader.
Financial markets greeted the news
Of Taft's election to the presidency
with an outburst of activity and
strength unparalleled since the fall Of

transformed into actual orders. and
manufacturing plants in various parts
OF the country made immediate prep.

Naturally enough the spectacle of
such unwonted strength in securities

Col. hepburn's Defeat.

Des Moines Capital: 1t may be we'll
doubted If there is any feeling Of ju-
bilation in the Eighth district over the
defeat OF Congressman William p.
Hepburn. Even the fellows who WELD
ed the knife which terminated the po-
litical life of this splendid career will
hardly feel like boasting about the
matter. The man who failed to get
the postoffice appointment. may feel
that he has eyened up the score, but
tae time will not be long in arriving
when 1t will be realized that 1t was
not Col. Hepburn but the Eighth dis
trict and the state OF Iowa witch has
received the full force Of the blow.
Was 1t worth nothing to have man
in congress who could hold the chair

railway regulation Is one Of the vital
problems Of the house?

an era of prosperity unprecedented In
its annals. Shelves are bare OF goods,
warehouses and yards everywhere are
understocked, money is cheap and
plentiful, and the will Of the people
is to work. The combination Ia IT.
resistible Time must elapse, how
ever, before the full force Of these
factors asserts itself. The winter

tons expressing their Judgment that
not until spring will the full effects OF
the revival In business be felt.
Meantime, however, Improvement
should steadily continue. Indications
that this will be the case are found in
such matters as placement OF orders
by the Pennsylvania railroad last
week for electrical equipment for Its
New York tunnels with the Wrestling
house company, this particular con
tract calling for the expenditure OF
some s5.OoO,OO0 of $25, 100000 which
must be expended In this work before
1t is completed, and in the increased
output of the country's iron furnaces
and better earnings of railroads.

HOW DEs MONIES GROWS.
Its Business Men Advertise and That
Advertises the
City.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Des
MONIES they believe in newspaper adj
yertising. The three daily newspapers
of that city claim to have carried
$4,000 inches of local display adver-
Using. besides a great deal of class
flied advertising, involving an ex-
penditure of about $4,000 for the
month of October. Des Moines is
city of advertisers and the money
that is spent in that way goes toward
publicity for the city itself as well
as for the particular business houses
that do the advertising They have
the city spirit in Des Moines. how
ever much some others may sheer at
them. We must commend them for
this spirit to say the least. AS a re-
suit of all that advertising Des Moines
merchants are extending their terri.

it is it's interests to trade in Des
Moines.
Other Iowa cities must not remain
insensible to what Des Moines is do
ing IN THIS way 1t Is at the same
time extending its interurbans into
different parts of the surrounding ter
ritory Cedar Rapids needs two o,
three more interurbans. The city
must extend its influence out over the
surrounding country to a greater ex
tent than it has in the past. The
+ business houses of his city can not
/ grow as big as they ought to grow
without this extension of their infu

is a natural center for this part O.

even more actively with its newspa

TARlEE REVISION.

The most important matter to
come up in congress in the near future
is tariff revision. In the house the
work of revision will be largely in the
hands of Representative Payne of
New York, the chairman of the ways
and means committee, which deals
with all revenue and tariff measures.
Mr.. Payne is well equipped to handle
the subject, having been in congress
for nearly thirty years, during which
time he has made a special study of
the tariff and revenue, as chairman
of the ways and means committee
since the death of Nelson Dingley,
who framed the present tariff law,
nearly twelve years ago. Mr.. Payne
and his committee will get together in
Washington this week and receive the
views of the business world as to
proposed schedules in the new tariff

Many other wonders are to be seen.
There is, for instance, the "altar OF

Then there is the holy we'll, the
waters of which have the power OF

raging waves becoming calm and still
