No sooner had we tasted Of the fine

fortunate that the senate does not al
ways yield quick obedience to the sup
posed will Of the majority of the
people.
Direct Elections.
In another sense, it has been charged
that the senate has not been respons-
i've to the will of all the people, or
stated in a better and more accurate
way, that the senators of an indi-
vidual state have not carried into eff
feet the will of the people of that
state. 1 believe this is a just criticism
and 1 believe that the reason for it is
that senators have felt themselves
bound to the legislature and the con-
trolling factors therein, rather than to
the whole body Of the people, and it
is for that reason that I believe that
much better results will be obtained
by a direct election of United States
senators.
OF course this method of election
has not yet been adopted, but that it
will be adopted, and that very shortly,
no one acquainted with the subject
would undertake to deny. Indeed, it is
already in practical effect in many of
the states by means of nomination by
primary elections, and it is also true
that the number of states so choosing
senators is constantly increasing. One
sees here even now the sentiment OF
the states reflected in the membership
more accurately perhaps than was true
before any of the states adopted the
primary method of nomination.
The Publicity Bill.
OF course, there are those who are
opposed to any change in existing
conditions; there are others who are in
favor of any change, under the belief
that the people are dissatisfied with
existing conditions, and that any
change would be better. 1 believe that
an illustration of change without re-
gard to bettered conditions exists in
the publicity bill as applied to candi-
dates for United States senator, passed
by the last congress, which went fur
Their than anybody had heretofore ad-
vocated, and which, in my opinion. is
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-12-10

subject to the criticism that it went
further than congress constitutionally
could go or ought to go, if it could.
If we are to have a pure ballot all
over the country, it will be by the
states themselves prescribing it, and
not by having it prescribed for them
by congress. One who opposes a
thorough corrupt practices act could
not more effectively do so than by
supporting this legislation, because it
will be the excuse of every state legis-
lature that does not desire to have a
thorough corrupt practices act, that an
act of congress is the supreme law of
the land, and congress having legis-
lated, the state cannot do so. And
then we will be left to rely upon an
unenforceable, unnecessary and I'M
constitutional act of congress. But it
only illustrates that in the demand for
change, any change is considered by
some better than existing conditions.
1t will remain for those who believe
in the constitution and our system Of
government, who will not refuse to
take an advance step because it means
a change, but who on the other hand
will oppose as with their lives any
change simply because 1t means some
thing new, to maintain the we'll estab-
lished principle that congress ought to
concern itself with general legislation
applicable to the whole country, and
withhold its hand from purely local
affairs. I believe the senate ought to
engage itself with passing laws which
can be of general benefit, and refrain
from passing laws Of local application.
Relations of the Members.
Generally speaking. the relation ex
listing between members Of the senate
is ideal. There are the jealousies.
faults and failings to be expected in
any body of men. 1t is said that in
every large community are the rich
and the poor, the proud and the
humble, the wise and those not quite
so much SO, OF course, some of these
classes find their way into the United
States senate, but on the whole the
members are able, earnest and hard
working men.
1t is undoubtedly true that more of
the time Of members of congress is
required now than formerly; indeed, it
is quite evident that the time has
about arrived when all of it will have
to be given by the members of the
senate to the public service. 1t is a
great and an exacting task, full of
work, overbalanced and lost sight of
in the honor conferred. The reason
that some senators remain here so
long is that the people appreciate this
service and as a rule are just, and
more often than otherwise generous to
those who conscientiously aspire to be
of some service to the state.
But must not longer trespass upon
your kindness, lest you may not extend
1t to me again.

my power, my own seat in the senate,
which I had just taken after a, cam
paign which had cost my friends and
myself some-considerabl to
obtain.
But the letter also had it's serious
side. 1 realized that the man was in
earnest, and that there was a teacher
in our own state who evidently honest
ly believed that it would be in the in
terest of this government to strike
down the United States senate, with
it's legislative and advisory powers. 1t
seemed to me that he had studied our
constitutional history to little purpose,
If he had not found out that the estab-
liShment of this great coordinate
branch of government was one of the
two great compromises of the consti-
tutional convention, and that our fore
fathers established this great forum to
protect one part Of the country against
another, and to secure forever the
equal representation of the states. as
distinguished from the rule~of mere
numbers.
When we. contemplate the vast area
of this country, with its diverse inter
ests and the local differences of it's
people, it seems to me there ought to
be unanimity in the opinion that our
forefathers acted wisely when they
provided a means by which the few
most populous states could not en-
act legislation which might be for
their benefit, but against the best in
terest of the remaining states. 1t is
this branch of our legislative depart
ment which has enabled us to legislate
upon subjects in which all of the peo-
pie of the country are interested. and
vet which makes it possible for local
legislation applicable to people widely
separated, in states having different
local interests, and to whom different
local laws could be most justly ap-
piled. In this way, the United States
senate, and the character Of the rep
resentation of the states, has preserv-
ed states rights, and the very vital
privileges of local 1f-government. 1t
is in this sense that I believe it is

THAT CHRISTMAS PIE
Confession Of the Sinner Who
Doctored the Nfincemeat.

It had been our family custom to put
brandy In all the mince pies and to
put In at Christmas time a sufficient
amount to enable the partakers thereof
to detect that there was really some
thing In 1t. 1t often went so far as to
deserve the remark of my grandfather
that we put mince pie in our brandy.
With this as the family precedent,
imagine the CONSERVATION when It was
learned that Rev. jeremiah Scroggins,
our new minister and an avowed tee
totaler, had accepted mothers invita-
ton to Christmas dinner. A vote was
taken at the family table 1--WE were a
democratic household and 1t was de-
cided that out of respect to our guest
the brandy would be omitted from the
big mince pie.
Now. each Of US in his heart Of hearts
felt that the pie would be improved II
just a wee bit of brandy were added.
So l, for one, resolved to do the deed.
Accordingly sought out the big stone

was moderate quantity Of brandy.
It's wonderful how true is the adage
about great minds running in similar
channels. for every other member of
the family. including my father, sur
reptitiously did the same thing. Later
we figured that the mincemeat must
have been treated to nigh unto a quart
