1t is very doubtful whether the
House will accept the constitutional
amendment providing for the direct
election of senators in the form il
passed the Senate and even should
the House do so there is even more
serious doubt as to whether it will
receive the vote Of three-fourths Of
the State Legislatures. The APP
proval of the House and these Leg
islatures could have been secured had
the amendment not been loaded
down with the Bristow provision
providing Federal control of the di-
rect election of senator's. This pro-
vision, which was adopted by the
narrowest kind of margin, will be
looked upon suspiciously in the South
where Federal supervision of cleo
tons is not desired. If the insertion
of this provision results in the de-
feat of the whole business the coun-
try will be no worse off, since the
.expediency of the scheme is ex-
tremely doubtful.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal, in
rejoicing over the abolition of the
State school examiners, expresses
the opinion that too much money is
spent in paying the officials at or
near the head of the public school
system. If the lndex-Appeal will
take the trouble to investigate and
compare the condition Of our schools
before and after We had the exam
iner system it will be forced to the
conclusion, as several General AS
semblys were, that the money spent
in paying these officials was wisely
expended. In our opinion the pub
lie school system in Virginia has i'm
proved in the past five or six years
in much greater proportion than sal
aries have increased and if our OBJ
servation on this point is correct
there is little ground for our COM
temporary's complaint.

In view OF the abnormal weather
which We have had this summer we
think tribute OF respect should be

hard to say which. Before his day sew

tubes containing oil of spirits of wine
but 1t lay with bankrupt merchant
of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the ingeni-
Gus Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so 1t has remained

and though a more rational method OF
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still clings to the Fab

BATTLE WITH OIL BLAZE
Fire In Standard Oil Plant Threatens City and Destruction of 1,0oO, ,oOO
 Barrels of OH.

Alton, June 10.-To prevent an ex- plosion which would have destroyed the towns of Wood River and Ben. bow City, 800 men fought fire four hours at the big storage plant of the Standard Oil company, eight miles south of Alton, Thursday evening
 One thousand barrels of kerosene burned. but the fire fighters, all em- ployes Of the company. dug trenches with spades to divert the river of burn ing oil from tanks containing more than 100000 barrels.
 The fire started in the still room where the oil is refined before going to the tanks.
 The Standard Oil fire department turned out. Half the men played on the flames with hose, while others dug ditches.
 Water had little effect on the fire.
 The flames spread to one of the re ceiving houses, concrete structure containing 1000 barrels of oil, ana this was quickly destroyed. Another receiving house near 1t was saved.
