The arguments, the reasons for the
election Of United States senators by
the people. historic, political, and econ
omic are fundamental. They are all
most innumeralble and they stand to
this day unanswered. They are funda-
mental and unanswerable because, by
the best truth OF our institutions. this
is government "of the people-by the
people, for the people"-a government,
deriving its Just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed"
"The people" govSrned" de-
mand this change in the tSNstion of
senators. In all the controvers> upon
this subject, there is just one reason
why this demand Of the people is not
complied with and that reason is the
senate Of the United States.
As%
We would not disparage the good
faith or question the integrity of those
few men who, long under the influence
of senatorial association and for years
| practically disassociated from the peo-
Pile, admitting the Indictment against
the senate, have refused to admit that
| a popular election of the senate is the
change to be desired. These men stood
for good government rather than for
popular government. They were not for
government "by the people"-govern-
ment by the Consent of the governed
Here. We take issue with them. We be-
| lieve that the people will govern them
selves well, that they will learn to dc
| by doing.
But If all the arguments against the
desirability, against the praeticability
against the capability of senate elect
ed by the people were admitted. there
still stands that immutable and incon.
trovertible fact that the people wan

the best tenets of our institutions, thi!

1t will not do to serve this warning

1t Is. generally agreed that COM

private business. In public business
the principle is already established. In
it's dealings with the public relating tc

THE STRIKE AND THE PUBLIC.
nSioux CITY Journal.l

If the public has the right to regu-
late the railroads in the interests of
efficient service it has the right to
regulate in the interest Of uninter-
rupted service. The railroad is a pub
lie utility To discharge its fuction
to the public 1t must be kept in continu-
Gus operation. The suspension of
operation for even short time must
mean serious inconvenience to the pub
lie. Suspension for any considerable
time may mean calamity To many
communities the shutting down Of a rail-
road means the loss of food and fuel.
From the publics viewpoint nothing
short of an unforeseen and unavoid-
able visitation of providence can cancel
the obligat ion to keep trains moving.
The railroad strike is a survival OF
a bygone time when the maintenance
Of rail communication was looked upon
as q private business, and the principle
of public regulation had not been estab-
lished. Now that the status of the
railway as a public utility has beer
settled, and the principle OF regulation
established, the suspension of business
incident to a labor dispute becomes ar
anomaly. While the railway manager:
and their employees are letting theil
trains lie idle the paramount interest

outline Of her head and throat. At
last her hands fell in her lap. She sat
looking straight ahead Of her.
Orde came to her.
"That was wonderfully beautiful
