One Expert Scored
By His Own Admission.

Just how well District Attorney
Jerome's wit has been appreciated by
those who read the accounts OF the
eternal Thaw investigation in yester-
days Journal it is impossible to say;
but, according to the Associated Press
dispatch, evidently dictated by some
one altogether innocent of such ap-
probation, jerome administered a
broadside to so-called expert" testi-
many which ought to have a good
effect on this species of witnesses.
One David n. Carvalho, a hand
writing sharp, called to identify one
of the beast Whites amorous epistles,
was on the stand for Thaw and when
cross-examined by Jerome became
defiant and threatening. You'd bet
ter let sleeping dogs lie. Mr. Jerome, "
he exclaimed; upon which Jerome
answered, IF you want to call your
self a dog, take the word from your
own lips" Jeromes play upon the
word lie" will, of course, be appar-

ent to every reader Of The Journal,
although the Associated Press did not
seem to catch On" as the dispatch
went On TO say that after this WITH
cism Jerome was less aggressive.
Judging by the expert evidence
given pro and con in the Thaw case
it is safe to assume that. travestying
the Psalmist's weIl-known exclanna-
ton, some experts are unquestionably
liars. Whether this CarvaIhe is one
of them we, down in Pensacola, have
no right to judge; but evidently Je-
rome thinks so, and his wonderful
ability throughout in conducting this
case against the tenderloIn debauchee
and murderer incIines men of thought
to believe he hits the nail on the
head"
Whether this CarvaIho possesses
any secret information against Je-
rome. or whether he fancies he does
these experts are said to be full of
fancies) is beyond The Journals reck-
Oning; but JeTOme's annihiIating re-
mark which passed without censure
by the witness warrants one to judge
that Carvalho was indulging in a
game of bluff

Popular Election of
United States Senators.

Senator Thomas, of Alabama, was
no doubt sincere in his opposition TO
the passage Of the joint resolution to
submit to the people of the state a
constitutional amendment providing
for the election of United States SEN
ators by popular vote. He main
tanned that this change in the manner
of choosing senators was opposed to
the meaning Of the organic law
which brought the senate into exist
ence to represent the states as SOW
ereign powers as a balance to the
lower house of congress the mem
bers of which are apportioned on a
basis OF population.
But the history Of the country has
had to chronicle many instances
where immoral men of wealth have
bought up legislatures and satisfied
either an ambition for political noto-
Tiety or a desire to enter the high
Office for Interior purposes. Hence
the conclusion of the democratic par
ty, as enunciated in the Denver plat
form, and long agitated throughout
the land. that the election of senators
should be taken away from the legis-
lature and confided to the vote of the
people.
And. after all, the change will in
no way alter the peculiar relation the
United States senate bears toward all
other federal establishments
unique position as a purely political
body intended to safeguard the indie
pendent autonomy of the states. For
whether the senators be chosen by
legislatures or by the people each
state, if large or small, poor or
wealthy, situated in the northern,
eastern, southern or western section
of our great domain, will have equal
representation and protection in the
nations deliberative body.
The Alabama senate. by its nearly
unanimous, pronounced and staunch
adherence to this plank of the last
democratic platform has set an ex-
ample which will rebound to its wis
dom and certainly have a good effect
upon other bodies and upon individual
thought. 1t recognized the immense
value of organized effort without
which there can he but small accom-
plishment, particularly with respect
to matters political.
