u. S. Senators By Direct Vote.

Milwaukee Free Press.
Twenty-Five states have favored res
olutions in favor of the election of
United States senators by direct vote.
The states that have not formally
adopted the joint resolution, but whose
people are favorable to it, are seven
teen in number, and most, if not all,
propose by primary election to their
legislatures their candidates for sena-
tor, which is a sort of evasion of the
constitutional provision. The move
ment seems to be irresistible Its at
tainment may be delayed, but unless
there is some unforeseen change in
public sentiment the constitutional
amendment is likely to come within a
few years. The proposition is that the
legislatures of two-thirds of the states
shall request the congress to call con-
yention to propose amendments, which,
when duly ratified by other conventions
of three-fourths of the states, shall be-
come effective. Such an application,
when properly made, is mandatory up
on the congress.
Some If the rany arguments in fav-
or of the cnange are summarized by
George II. Haynes, Phi. d., in his book
on "The Election Of Senators, " as fol-
lows;
at would make the senate a more
consistent and effective political insti-
tuition.
1T would improve the tone Of the
senate.
1T would make the senate RESPONSE
ble to the people
1T would demand that the senators
thus elected would command public
confidence.
ut would lessen the influence OF
wealth upon the senate.
1T would tend to divorce national
from state and local politics.
at would promote the reform OF
representation in state legislation
1T would promote nomination anc
election Of members Of the Legislature
upon the simple issue of their fitness
for such service.
1t would improve the state legisla-
ture.
It would leave legislatures free tc
do their normal work.
ut would elevate the tone of state
and municipal politics,
1T would put the senate directly in
to the hands of tha people.

Cynical Crouch.

Even at the time when crinolincs
were in fashion it was generally ad
mitted that they were monstroue
things, though some women defended
them. One of those, a silly woman,
having archly remarked that If crino-
lines had no other advantage they at
least kept men at distance, added.
THAT, at least, you will admit is a
great blessing ITO the men,
growled an old bachelor who was
present.

POLICE GUARDING
STR|KE-BREAKERS
At ELECTRIC CO.
P. S. G. Is Fully Prepared for
Any Demonstration of
Violence.

Unabated vigilance is being main
tanned today at the Coal street power
station of the Public Service Electrical
Company, this city, to guard against
any possible trouble with the thirty
three striking stokers. The union men,
who are striking for more pay, have re-
mained respectful and have made no
demonstration against their former en-
ployers. The local plant, as we'll as the
Marion plant, which is also affected
by the strike, are both running on
schedule time and are keeping up the
average total of electricity needed.
The strike- breakers at the local
plant are being housed In a converted
barge moored alongside the dock.
Their food is cooked aboard, and
every inducement is provided to keep
the men within the high board fence
enclosing the big yards and freight
sidings about the power-house.
A martial aspect is given the scene
by the presence of the added details
of police and the forty or more hired
detectives employed by the P. s. G..
to protect their property. The police
guard the at Coal street,
while the private detectives, hired
from the Osborne agency, are perched
on top of the roof, on coal cars and
at every point of vantage.
A high-pressure fire hose Is stretched
from a hydrant within the yard to the
Coal street gate. The stream from
this hose would bowl men over in a
trice.
