Doubtful Column.

The sentiment of Minnesota undoubt-
edly is in favor of a constitutional
, change, although it has been placed ir
the doubtful column.
Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia anc
Maryland gave no answers and have
been placed with the doubtful states
1t is known, however, that at least one
Of these has shown a marked tendency
! toward allowing the people to voice
their sentiments direct for United
States senators.
1t, therefore, appears that out of the
II states classified as doubtful al
least seven, namely. Washington
Wyoming. Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois
/ Indiana and PENNSYLVANIA might CON
servatvely be listed with those ir

viii the 18th amendment change the
present system of election of United

others just as firmly maintain that
such an amendment will never be

their own legislatures for whatever

The article of the constitution pro-
wang for an amendment wisely
designated two different methods of
securing the same results--through the
natlonal congress or through a con-
Ventlon called on application of the
legislatures. The article reads as fol-
lows:
THE congress, whenever two-thirds
of both houses shall deem it necessary.
shall propose amendments to this con-
stitntion, or upon the application of
several states, shall call convention
for proposing amendments which, in
either case, shall be valid to all in
tents and purposes as part of this con.
stitution, when ratified by the legisla-
lures of three-fourths of the several
states or by conventions in three
fourths thereof as the one or the other
mode of ratification may be proposed

favor of an amendment, such an
amendment can be obtained

fire alarm system is the part of wis

size Of Missoula should have been so
long without an adequate alarm sys-
tenn Is a reflection upon the progress

installation of the system will be re-
covered to the property owners of the
city in the improved insurance rates
and in the better protection which will
be afforded to every building in the

fortunate in the matter of fires, but
too much dependence should not be
placed upon the fire department, even
