ToRIAL ELECTION BY VOTE OF PEOPLE.

ca WENTY-SEVEN out of fortysix States already favor amend
ing the Federal Constitution to provide for the direct eiec-
ton of United States senators. These States are Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Indiana. Texas, California, Nevada, Missouri, Ne
braska, Arkansas. Wyoming, North Carolina, Illinois, Colorado,
Louisiana. Kansas. Montana, Wisconsin, Oregon, Tennessee, ldaho,
South Dakota. Washington, Utah, Kentucky, Minnesota, Iowa and
Oklahoma. Only four more States are needed to make the number
necessary for Congress to pass a resolution. Senator Brlstow now
has a resolution in the Senate, and it is believed it will be fayorably
reported. There is little doubt that the New Jersey Legislature
this winter will fall in line with the twentyseven States and that
is now likely to act on the resolution prior to action by the Legisla,
ture. Application by two-thirds of the States for a constitutional
convention makes it obligatory upon Congress to call a convention.
The amednment proposed must afterward be ratified by the legisla
lures of threefourths of the States or by conventions IN the three
fourths, whichever way may be proposed by Congress. After the
proposed amendment has been adopted by the people there will be
regular elections for United States senator participated in by all
the voters of the State. who will choose from among all the candi-
dates for senator, and the successful candidate will attain the office
without any question as to his title. The people will have their
choice among the best qualified public men in the State, they will
know their views on questions of national policy, and their views
will be the issues of the senatorial election. In the recent alleged
Democratic referendum there was no campaign, no contest, no ques
ton as to the views represented in the candidacy, and practically
there was only one individual who figured as a candidate. In a
genuine election for senator there will be a spirited campaign by a
numhcr Of candidates, who will submit to the voters their plat
form Jews. and the voters will know for what and whom they are
voting whether for a candidate who represents the vital interests.
of the State or for a candidate whose doctrines are subversive of.
State interests and inimical to State welfare.

Ten MILLIONS FOR WORLDS PEACE.

co HE gift of $10O00O00 by Andrew Carnegie, the income of
which is to be devoted to the furtherance of international
peace, will provide 100000 yearly for the promotion of an
object which Mr.. Carnegie has most at heart. Former princely
gifts by Nj. Carnegie were made for the same purpose, including.
the superb building at The Hague, erected in the cause of inter
national peace. The name of Andrew Carnegie will forever be
associated with the great cause that appeals to the sympathy of the
whole civilized world. Without money, and plenty of it, little could
be accomplished in the way of bringing about conditions to forbid
great wars. Since the first peace conference at The Hague the
nations have increased their ornaments prodigiously, and they keep
on increasing them, while invention is creating new and more
formidable weapons of warfare. The nations are preparing for
war under the waters of the ocean and in the air, as if presentday
peace was only a truce among the nations. But men who harbor
no decisions do not believe that a worlds peace can ever be brought
about by international agreement. AS long as there are conditions
in the world of a character to provoke war there will be war. The
rvalries of trade and commerce, the problems of national existence,
the necessity for an outlet for excess of population and the tempta-
tions to embark in a war in order to stife social and political dis
content at home-these are among the conditions that precede and
often force nations into a foreign war. How can these conditions
be changed or remedied?

Argument Against Wood Paving

Argument Against Wood Paving.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The writer would thank you to kindly
publish in your evening paper the fol-
lowing letter which was sent to the
Board of Works:
"If you would care to come to some
decision regarding the question or
granite or wooden block for the paving
Of Market street. the writer would sug-
gest your sending representatives over
to New York city and have them stand
at the corner of West Broadway and
Barclay street or West Broadway and
Park place for about half an hour, and
count the number of horses that fall
on the wooden pavement, or watch
their efforts to try and keep on their
feet.
1.-THE writer also thinks it would be
a good idea for you to ask the mer-
chants on either Park place or Bar
clay street why they are compelled on
rainy or snowy days, to throw ashes on
the pavement in front of their stores.
at is true that the wooden pavement
does not make quite as much noise as
the granite block, but the writer u.s.
sures you hat the noise of the horses
falling down, and of the men urging
them to get up, is by far worse than
the noise of the granite block. The
wooden block makes the horses tired,
the drivers cranky and angry with the
city for having put down such rotten
pavement, and the pedestrians get per-
fectly Disguised. Is the above not
proof enough against the wooden pave
ment? If not, suppose you stop some
of the drivers on the above mentioned
streets and get their opinion.

snow Removal Law In Neglected.
o the Editor Of the Evening Star:

snow Removal LAW Ia Neglected.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There is a law In this city calling
for the removal of snow from the side
walks within a few hours after it has
fallen. In some sections of the city
this Is rigidly enforcd and In others
altogether disregarded by the prop
erty-owners and police. Because OF the
neglect on the part of some people to
clear the walks many persons are
greatly Inconvenience and many hurt
by slipping and falling.
1t k only a few minutes to re-
move the snow, n yet there are men
in this city so selfish as to endanger
tn lives of pedestrians just because
they are too lazy or too stingy to do
what the law requires. The police
should be instructed to enforce a law
which affects a large number of citi-
zens. A heavy fine imposed on those
who are neglectful will do a great deal
to abolish this nuisance.

Finds "A Sure Cure for War.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
According to the press Andrew Car
negie intends giving several millions
of dollars to the movement advocating
peace. This may be a noble act on
the part Of the ph~ilanthropic million
aire, but whether 1t is q wise act or
not is a question. Wal will never be
abolished by sums of money donated
by old men. The entire system of So
ciety will have to be reorganized be-
fore war will cease to be a part Of our
civilization. Competition Is one of the
causes Of war, and as soon as hat Is
abolished we will be nearer to the
millennium.
AS long as there is private owner
ship Of public utilities there will be
war. Government ownership is the
only thing that can and will abolish
the great evil of the present day. Mr.
Carnegie may or may not be sincere.
1t is hard to believe that a mar that
knows as much about Industrial affairs
as does Carnegie believes hat his pal
try millions can do away with a thing
that is an institution of present day
civilization. A change In the form Of
government Is necessary before we car
hope to have universal and everlasting
peace. FRANK PIERCE.

IN the Frelinghuysen venue section,
where long stretches of the thorough
fare are without any light at all and
the few that are installed were put
there when the section was far from
being as thlckly settled as 1t is now.
Other sections are as poorly off in the
matter Of street lights and 1t is to be
hoped he city's plans for the coming
year will provide for some better serv-
ice in this regard.
Perhaps If the municipal lighting
project Is shown to be practical the city
can undertake to supplement the pres
ent service by installing lights where
they are needed in some of these re-
mote sections and thus keep pace with
the growth of the city.

Grass sELFLsHNEss IN SAVER DEPOSITION.

61Ta HE last obstacle to the sewerage of the Passaic valley is
Ii offered by a few meddlesome individuals connected with the
New York Merchants Association in the name of the city

definitely. The action taken may well be described as hoggish.
Owning only half the waters of the bay, New York city discharges
all its crude sewage in vast volumes into the bay and into New
Jersey as well as New York waters. There is a vague statement
that some day in the misty future New York will adopt a system
of screening its sewage, but it will only then be doing what the
New Jersey municipalities have planned to do and will do when
the trunk sewer is completed. The fixed idea that New York is
the sole owner of the bay and that New Jersey has no rights therein
explains the singular obstnacy and overweaning selfshness and
arrogance exhibited in this persistence of opposition to the trunk

NOT ANAL OGOUS CASES.

@AUR Trenton contemporary, the Times, cites the case of the
NJ popular election of President as a justification for the cleo.
ton of United States senator as the choice of about one
tenth of the voting population of the State. If the Constitution is
set aside in the case of the President, it is held, why not also in
the case of the United States senator? The analogy between the
two cases would not be recognized except only by those who are
endeavoring to sustain an utterly illogical position, for there is
none. Mr.. E. @. Keasbey, in his article in the Subway Call on the
subject of the United States senatorship, points out very clearly the
essential difference in the two cases. But can ANYBODY conceive
of an election of a president of the United States by the method
and vote that the Times would sanctfy? There is no other State
and no political party in any State that would recognize such a
vote as that which was polled in the Democratic primaries as hay
ing any Importance in the election of the United States senator. The
Republican party organization in this State would treat such a
farccal vote with contempt and a Republican Legislature would
disregard it entirely.

The inquiry is an improper one. 1t

they will vote according to their inter

mindful If it is a corporation or a labor

felt at the indication thus afforded of
the belief entertained by the President,

many years I have taken part in the
work of the court there has been at

do my duty toward the country. OF

Like Night school Change.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A few months ago, When the sessions
Of the evening high schools were
changed to allow the Jewish pupils to
attend their religious services on FRI
day evenings, there was a whole lot Of
opposition to the new rule. 1t was
argued that the Board of Education
should not favor the Jews and ignore
the large number of Gentle students.
AS a matter OF fact, the change has
been beneficial to all the scholars at
tending these schools, and those who
were foremost in opposing the new
schedule are now heartily in favor of 1t.
AS a pupil find that more work can
be accomplished by studying from Mon
day to Thursday. inclusively. than by
the old system Of having no session on
Wednesday and having school on Fri
day evening. BY the present system
the pupil has four nights straight for
study and three evenings for recrea-
ton. which think is much better then
the old plan. PUPIL.
