A Texas evangelist says: Persons
who speculate on the stock market or
bet on horse races are bound for hell
in a racing automobile" But the ex-

who speculate on horse races or bet
on the stock market usually arrive
there as pedestrians.

FIGHT OF SIXTY
YEARS MAY Be WON
Never Once Has United States Senate
Allowed Itself to Vote on Direct
Election of Senators.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 7. : The
trainers of the constitution, living be-
fore the days of cheap newspapers and
rapid transit, and not greatly fearing
the initiative, referendum and recall,
and most of them having a good deal
of fear of the mob" succeeded in sew
ing the people up on two counts. They
would not let the voters elect the pres
ident or the senators. These two Of
fees, at least, were to be kept sacred.
The people proceeded to put the
crimps in the electoral college scheme
Immediately. Almast before Hamilton
had finished writing in the Federalist
that the plan was as nearly perfect as
human nature ever attained the peo-
pie were electing their presidents, vot-
ing, as Uncle Chet Thomas of Topeka
said, 'iust as they blamed pleased"
Sixty years ago they began to fiddle
around to get rid of the indirect cleo
tion of senator's. But observe how well
a body of beneficiaries preserves its
privileges, whether they are tariff bene-
ficiaries preventing revision down.
ward, or lawyers preventing the sim
plification of judicial procedure. Not
once has the senate permitted itself
to vote on the question of submitting
constitutional amendment for the pop
ular election OF senators.
Senator Bristow of Kansas, who in
troduced a resolution to submit such an
amendment in the senate last year, has
compiled long list of similar re-
quests from the 1850 down to the pres
ent time. Every one of them was
strangled in committee. Which means
that the senate didn't enjoy the no
ton of coming out into the open and
voting to refuse to let the people pass
on the method of electing senators. 1t
found it much easier just to suppress
the resolutions without a vote, which
can readily be done under the rules of
the upper house.
Six times in the last twenty years
has the house passed resolution for
submitting constitutional amendment
on the subject. You can put such
resolution through the house any time.
But that was all the good it did.
Senator Bristow's resolution was re-
ferred last year to the committee on
the judiciary, Senator Clark of
Wyoming, chairman of that commit
tee, assured him today that the resolu-
tion would be reported out for vote
at this session. The senator said that
he found a growing impression in the
senate that the matter would better be
submitted to the states for action, since
there was an evident growth of popu-
lar feeling along these lines.
Senator Bristow is hopeful that the
senate will adopt the resolution and
that it will go through the house at
this session. Then it would have to be
ratified by the legislatures of three
fourths of the states As thirty-seven
state legislatures in the last few years
have passed resolutions calling for
popular election of senators, it is be-
lieved that the amendment would be
ratified without difficulty.

NE& PLAN FOX PARADE FUAu
Samson Proposes Next Year to Try a
New Scheme.
WILL ASSESS EACH MERCHANT
Present Plan Does Not raise Enough
Money 60 Pay for the Parade
and the Carnival Must
Make &C UD.

Next year may see Samson using new
system In raising money for the parade
fund. IL Is planned 70 adopt the assess
ment method. serving notice upon each
merchant who is subscriber. Of the
amount he has 10 pay. rather than allow
ing each merchant to pay according TO how
ne feels at the time he writes his check.
In other cities this has been adopted
md Il has been found a success in every
Instance. samson knows what each mer
chant Is In the habit OF giving and what
each Is able and willing to give. Samson
also has an idea Of what each ought to
give
The assessment system would increase
the parade fund and would result in a
great deal less worry In raising several
hundred dollars at the last minute. as has
happened several times in the past A
great many business men would meet an
assessment when they might otherwise not
subscribe.
Samson deplores the fact that each year
the Ak-Sar-B Ben parade fund Is made up
by practically the same small group OF
men. These few sums ranging all the way
from $50 TO 81 .OOl. A number OF firms donate
$500 each. the banks are usually good for
500 each and the large wholesale houses
ordinarily make a 500 donation.
While the board has never actually lost
money. several times II has been like pull
ing teeth 10 raise II. A number Of the
most prominent business men in the city,
realizing just as much benefit from Ak
sar-Ben as do any Of the others. give sums
like $40. OF II strongly urged perhaps $50
subscription OF $4,000 is the amount
actually needed while II Is often impossible
for the board to scrape together more than
81 90 or a 100 In such cases the prOfit
from the carnival must be sufficiently
great 20 cover the deficiency. or the board
is compelled to borrow money. Bad weather
during the festival with profit from the
ten days show the only assest would put
the governors In a financial hole. Thus
IL Is that Samson plans the Assessment
scheme so he can tell the merchants what
is wanted rather than taking what they
think they ought to give.

CONSOLIDATION IS ENDORSED
Executive Committee Of the Com

J WILL CIRCULATE PETITIONS
At Least IssOO Names Must BE Sc

Proposition to . Vote at
the Coming Election.

The executive committee OF the CONNER
cial club Tuesday noon endorsed the South
Omaha consolidation proposition and agreed
to undertake the circulation OF petitions
to get the necessary 10 per cent of the
voters Of Omaha.
The law provides that the Board of
County Commissioners shall order a vote
on such question when 10 per cent Of the
registered voters at the last general cleo
ton shall ask for its submission.
THIS action by the Commercial club
means that the question will be voted
upon at the election this November. II
also gives the lie to a story circulated in
South Omaha that the Commerc. al club
had turned down the committee from the
South Omaha Consolidation club. which
originated and is pushing the consolidation
project
II will be necessary TO secure only about
l.s00 signatures here, as the vote last fall
was not heavy. In a presidential year the
vote runs to about 5000.
The executive committee heard commu-
nication from Baron Elicit Shibisawa, head
Of the honorary commercial commissioners
Of Japan who visited this city a year ago or
so. Baron Shibisawa says resolutions OF
