BY a vote OF 64 to "a, the United
States Senate last night passed the
Borah resolution amending the Con-
stitution to provide for election of
Senators by direct popular vote. The
resolution will now go into confer
ence, but the prediction is made that
the House will not accept the Bristow
amendment, which provides that the
Federal Government shall have the
supervision of such elections. The
adoption of the Bristow amendment
was made possible by the votes of the
Vice President and one Democratic
Senator, Mr.. Clarke of Arkansas.
While the House may reject the
resolution in its present form, It seems
certain that the day of the popular
election of Senators Is not far distant.
What, then, will become of those self
constituted guardians Of the peoples
rights, who now hold office by posing
as watchmen on the towers? One
trembles to think what may happen
to these office-seelxing patriots once
the people find themselves secure in
the power to elect their Senators
without the least fear OF the blessed
and long-sought privilege being taken
from them, and the services of the
e-hunting guardsmen are no longer
required.

THE ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING

There is merit in the suggestion OF
State superintendent Alderman that
the annual school meeting day, (June
19,) be made a great day" for the
public schools Of oregon. The Su-
perintendent points out that the di-
rectors are often discouraged be-
cause of an apparent lack of interest
on the part of the patrons and sug-
gests that the annual meeting is a
time when every citizen ought to show
that he has the welfare of his district
school at heart. The school officers
serve without compensation and are
entitled to the hearty cooperation of
all patrons to the extent that at least
a part of one day in each year be
given to the consideration of public
school questions
The State Superintendent asks that
the patrons take the time on the
morning Of the 18th to visit the
school house and inspect the grounds
and buildings. The inspection should
include grounds, buildings, outhouses,
water supply, heating apparatus, ven
tilation--in fact, every feature that
contributes to the health, comfort,
safety and convenience of children
and teachers. After luncheon, and
before turning the meeting over to
the directors. an hours discussion of
how the conditions might be improved
would prove profitable. Already an
annual picnic on this day is being
planned in many districts, and this
spirit of interest and enthusiasm will
result in pleasant days visit among
neighbors and greatly improved con-
ditions another year in each district
where such a gathering is held.

The people of Polk County should
interest themselves in the work of
building a highway from Falls City to
connect with the magnificent macad-
am road now being built by Lincoln
County from Newport to Siletz. With
the two counties working in harmony
on the project of a valley-to-the-sea
highway, great financial benefit would
be realized by both. Such a road
would provide an outlet for the prod
ucts of the rich Yaquina and Siletz
bottoms. and would greatly increase
the trade between the two counties.
1t would also be the shortest and
easlest possible route between the
valley and the popular beach resorts
of the Yaquina coast. and would di-
vert three-fourths of the summer
travel from Portland and the lower
and middle valley through Polk
County, Lincoln is spending many
thousands of dollars in the construc-
ton of the coast end of this highway
and the people OF prosperous Polk
cannot afford TO be less enterprising
than are the residents of their smaller
and less wealthy nelghbor county.

been retained to test the validity of
the petitions, he says he has examined
number of them and has found that
there are many of the same people ev-

them as are connected with the al

No new developments arose here to-

Averrlng that they have found 1000
names that bear every evidence of
being forgeries, 1t is probable that in
the next few days some arrests will be
made in connection with the referen-
dunn petitions against the state appro-
priations for the University of oregon,
announces the Salem Statesman. Not
only have 1000 names been found to
be forged, it is claimed, but 5000 more
are said to he tainted with forgery
and it is the assertion of Judge w. T..
Slater, who has been retained to push
the case, that the appropriations will
be absolutely saved to the institution.
Quiet Investigations have been going
on for the past, IA days and William j.
Wright of the Burns detective agency
has been at work unearthing informa-
ton pertaining to the securing of the
names to the referendums One man,
alleged to have had a hand in the
matter, has already left the state.
Twenty others are under suspicion
and before many hours, 1t is said that
arrests will likely be made.

Under Indictment.

Otto Newman, who Is under indict-
ment in Portland on charge of forg-
ing a check, is alleged to be mixed up
in the referendum forgeries.
Judge Slater has made minute ex-
animation of the petitions filed In the
secretary of states office. The refer
endums were filed last month, refer
ring the more than $300,000 appro-
priations for the University of Oregon
and also the $4,000 for the Normal
School at Monmouth. The petitions
contained between $4,000 and $4,000
names.
According to statement of Judge
Slater, the appropriation for the Uni
versty of Oegon is without a doubt
saved to tht institution in the light of
the discoveries which are alleged to
have been made. That the further de-
velopments of the investigation Will
make some startling disclosures is the
assertion of Judge Slater, who expects
to find that even more forgeries have
been made on the pttitions than now
seems to him to be evident.
