SENATOR OWEN ON DIRECT
ELECTIONS.

Every legislative scandal like the
one which is now being aired in
Springfield, ILL.,, is an argument for
the election of United States senators
by direct popular vote.
The people are dissatisfied. Under
present conditions the upper branch
OF congress is not only out Of sympa-
thetic touch with the masses, but the
gulf of separation is constantly widen
ing, due to the venal methods by
which senatorial seats are secured
Such a condition of affairs was GER
tainly not contemplated by the farm
ers Of the constitution. Our fore
fathers were strongly impressed with
the representative idea. They believ-
ed implicitly in the rights of the peo-
pie to rule. But they did not forsee
the use to which money would be
employed in bribing state legislatures.
On Tuesday last, following Senator
Lormier's dramatic speech Of self
defense against the charge of having
purchased his toga, Senator Owen.
of Oklahoma, made an able plea for
popular elections.
The senator's reasons for support
ing this reform measure were five
fold:
l. To make the senate more re-
sponsive to the will of the people.
2. To prevent corruption of legis
latures.
8. To prevent deadlocks in legis-
latures.
4. To populariZe government.
D. To increase the confidence of
the people in the senate.
BY way of retrospect, Senator Owe,
reminded his colleagues that not less
than four times the house of rem
resentatives had passed the proposed
amendment, and that each time the
measure had been defeated in the sem
ate.
lie also called attention to the fact
that 33 states of the Union have ey-
pressed themselves in one form or
another favorably to the election of
senators by direct vote.
He quoted platforms of various
politicianl organizations, including the
Democratic party, the independence
party, the Prohibition party and the
New York Democratic league, all de-
manding the popular election of sem
otors.
Moreover, he declared that resolu-
tons bad been passed 10y bodies rep
rcscnting moro than 1000. 600 work.
crs or nearly half the adult popula-
tion Of the United states.
ON the basis of tbs exhibit il is
quite evident that the majority of the
people desire the election Of senator's
by popular vote.
And in Wow Of the legislative scan
dals with which tho reading pubIic
has been re-. within the past few
weeks It r"qr""S no prophetic ken

sentiment i'm favor of this much-nccd-

MEYER TO RECUPERA1E
AT SOUTHERN RESORT
Secretary of the Navy Suffers
From Effects of Ptomaine
Poisoning.

Secretary Meyer has gone south for
several days to recuperate from an at
tack of stomach trouble, said to be due
to ptomaine poisoning. His exact where
abouts is purposely kept secret, as the
Secretary desires to remain undisturbed
in seclusion until he RECEIVERS his health.
1t is understood, however, that he has
gone to one of the health resorts in North
Carolina, and that he hopes to be able
to return to this city the latter part of
the month.
No Increase in Labor Hours.
He left no instructions regarding the
hours of labor in the Navy Department,
and there is reason to believe that no
change is contemplated. Officials in
charge today say that no reason is known
for an order making any general change
in the hours of work in the department,
for the reason that under the present sys-
Iem all the bureaus and officers are re-
quired to keep their work up to date and
in case any section of an Office gets be-
hind the employees of that section are re-
quired to make it up.
The result Of this system is that the
current work of the department never is
allowed to get behind.

ReSiStS Extraditi0n.
ITALY'S PRACTICE CITED
Accused Citizens of That Country
Not Surrendered Here.
ERROR IN RULING CLAIMED
Hearing at Trenton Delayed That
Prisoners Father May Con-
fer With Counsel.

TRENTON. y. j., December 19.-The
adjourned hearing in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought by Paul Charlton to
prevent the eXtraditiOn to Italy of his
son, Porter Charlton, who has confessed
to having killed his wife in Italy, took
place i'm the United States circuit court
here today. In accordance with the usual
procedure Porter Charlton himself was
in court in the custody of officers of the
Hudson county jail.
The main point involved is whether
under the treaty existing between the
United States and Italy Charlton, who is
citizen of the United States, can be
extradited to Italy to answer for a crime
committed in the latter country The
Italian government heretofore has re-
fused to consent to the extradition to the
United States of citizens of Italy charged
with crime in this country.
Charlton's Contention.
The contention on behalf of Charlton is
that the United States has acquisced in
this construction of the treaty by failure
to declare war against Italy or to ask
for international arbitration when Italy
refused to give up Italian citizens who
were wanted in the United States to
stand trial for crimes committed here
There has also been raised the question
as to whether Judge Blair, sitting as a
United States examining magistrate in
the Charlton case, did not commit judi
c1al error when he refused to hear testi-
mony that was offered to prove that
Charlton was insane.
Hearing Delayed.
When court opened Judges Rellstab and
Cross were on the bench and r. Floyd
Clarke, counsel for young Charlton,
asked that the hearing of the case be
postponed for an hour in order that he
might have conference with the young
mans father. This was granted. Porter
charlton was in court at the time. hav-
ing been brought to Trenton by Sheriff
James Kelly of -udson county and
County Clerk John F. Crosby of the same

During the application for the postpone
ment and the subsequent conference be-
tween Mr.. Clark and .CharIton.s father
the young man occupied a standing posi-
t1oh IN the rear OF the courtroom be-
tween Sheriff Kelly and Mr.. Crosby.
The prisoner was not handcuffed and
in fact, he was brought to Trenton with
put handcuffs. Young Charlton was rath-
er pale and 1t was stated by MIR. Clark
that he had recently been subject to

and did not show any excitement of man.

The new remedy Cadum has as
tonished the medical world. Many
cures of eczema and other distressing
skin diseases are reported, and the re-
markable feature in most cases is the
quickness of the cure. Eczema is not
a blood disease. but a skin affection
1t cannot be cured by internal medi-
cnes. External treatment is abso-
lutely necessary. Since the introduce
ton of Cadum eczema is now recog-
nized as a durable disease and that
tormenting affiiction has been robbed
of it's terrors. Cadum stops the itch
ing at once and begins the healing
process with the first application. 1t
destroys disease germs. allays inflam-
nation and is soothing and healing to
the skin. From the moment it is ap
piled to any skin trouble immediate
relief is felt. 1t is for pimples, blotch-
