SYSTEM OF ELECT1NG U. s.
SENATORS IS OUT OF DATE"
Senator Borah Points To opportun-
tiles for Graft In Legislatures
and Urges direct Vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Citing the
opportunities for corruption and the
tying up of egislatures-such as now
exist In several states-as the result
OF the present system OF electing
members Of the United States senate,
Senator Borah, (Rep., Idaho), yester-
day made a strong plea for the pas
sage Of a resolution submitting to the
states q constitutional amendment
providing for direct elections.
The system Is vicious and out OF
date, prepared for a different age and
under different conditions than that
in which we live," he said. The
times demand a different system, a
different mechanism for selecting the
members of this great body.
I'm the past twenty years there
have been q great many prolonged
contests in state legislatures which
illustrate one of the great evils OF
tie present system. The entire ses-
sions OF some legislatures has been
occupied in the election OF senators
to the exclusion Of everything else
for which they were called together.
In oome instances special sessions
were called at great expense. In
fourteen instances states have gone
without full representation here be-
cause OF deadlocks in the legislature.
In other instances bribery and
corruption have been charged and
corruption and scandal have attached
to the sessions.
The legislature is the arena, mar
row and confined, wherein selfish and
corrupt influences can successfully
operate Why not send the fight to
the open forum where 1t will be set

1T is not generally known that the
great Napoleon Bonaparte lodged in
a house in George-st., a thoroughfare
which extends from Duke-st to the
Embankment.
"Old Mr.. Matthews, the bookseller
OF the Strand, used to relate that he
remembered the Corsican ogre resid-
ing here for Ave weeks in 1871 or
1872, and that he occasionally took
his cup OF chocolate at the Northum.

cumberland house; that he there read
much, and preserved provoking
taciturnity toward the frequenters OF
the coffee room.
Though his manner was stern, his
department was that OF a gentle

And the little dewdrop is like many
others who give their love, and worship
to those so far removed from their

they will lie dormant, forgotten In
