THE CHANGING SENATE.

SENR E.
 It is related of Thomas Jefferson
 that when he was secretary of state
 he was asked by a foreign visitor
 what purpose the senate was meant
 to serve in the then new constitu-
 ton. He replied. the same as that
 of the saucer provided with cup Of
 hot tea which could be poured from
 one to another and made cool enough
 to drink We fear the fashion has changed in senates as much as it
 has in the use of saucers. says the
 New York Times.
 Were Mr. Jefferson in Mir. Knox s
 place today, he would hardly venture
 to explain the function of the senate
 or. at any rate. its actual operation
 in any such fisttering manner Ger
 tainly the record of the last three
 months would contradict kim if he
 did.
 The three matters of chief import znce in the session just closed were the trade agreement with Canada,
 the tariff commission bill. and the regular appropriation bills The
 house. although it had the money bill5 to introduce and pass, enacted
 the necessary Legislation for the Can ada agreement, passed the tarin commission bill early in the session. and sent all the appropriation bills in fair time to the senate. The sen ate dawdled. It spent weeks of time without doing or tryi4ggto do any thing. helpless against the determin ation of d half dozen senators. actu- sted by carious motives. none of them creditable, that nothing should be done. This impotence cost the coun- try the vexation. disturbance. and expense of an extra session. It costs much more Appropriations amount ing to s700. 100000 were passed upon in fevered haste at the last moment, with no general discussion, the ma iority Of senators not knowing what they were voting. or why, except such items as interested them per sonally in their states. As a bust ness process. providing for the ex. of a vast enterprise with put knowledge or responsibility, this would have been ruinous were not the wealth and productive power of the nation so enormous. If not ruinous, It is wasteful to the last degree and exceedingly corrupting.
 The fault lies in the character of the men sent as senators from the several states. and for that the peo- pie only can be held accountable. So long as public sentiment bears with indifference such methods of secur- Ing senatorial elections as were dis closed in the Lorimer case, or such ls are now being carried on at Al ] bany, the present incapacity and neglect in Washington will continue. l Nor is there any short cut to re- form in this matter The theory that popular elections and direct nom l nations will work a radical change | flies in the face of experience. MT. l Carter Harrison in Chicago, the out. | come of direct" primaries. is no improvement on Mir Lorimer. The i stream cannot rise higher than it's | source, and until the people really l decide to have better senators they will not get them. When they do. i no form of political machinery will prevent them.

 Mr. Dodge also stopped at Tucson where he had the opportunity of wis ting the desert laboratory of the Carn gie institution of Washington At this laboratory experiments are being made with desert growth which are attracting wide attention, the French government having sent experts to watch results. with the purpose of learning the best growths for the desert country of that gov .ernment.

The Carne gie institution has twelve different departments of scientific research. the Laboratory on the mountain side near Tucson being one of them.

One of LATE Young's Stories.

Vinton Eagle: Lafe Young in his
speech to the veterans last Thursday
afternoon which was appreciated by
the Democrats, Republicans, progress
siyes, reactionaries, insurgents, pro
hibitionists, and all the elements of
our political life. He said the political
situation had so gotten on the nerves
of a Des Moines man land they have
politics in Des Moines) that he even
dreams about it. The other night this
Des Moines man dreamt he had de-
parted this life and entered the
pearly gates The first thing which at
tracted his attention after entering
heaven was large body OF men on
the left side of the throne. He asked
who they were and was told they
were progressiyes and insurgents. To
the right of the throne was another
large bunch of men; upon inquiry he
was told they were Democrats On an
open field in the distance was a large
body OF men apparently enjoying
themselves. He asked the Creator who
these men were and was told: They
are standpatterE, and are the only fel
lows 1 can trust so far from the
throne" The joke was appreciated
and loudly applauded.

Hon. n. E. Kendall, representative
in congress from the Sixth district OF
this state, is for Taft for President.
He believes that the present incum-
bent has acquitted himself with credit
and should have the undivided support
of Iowa for the nomination. The AL
bia Union. his home paper, in making
announcement to this effect says:
Mr.. Kendall has been a close
watcher OF events while down at
and being a protective
tariff congressman knows that to
tinker with the Republican policies
means downfall of the prosperity of
this nation. He knows too that Pres
ident Taft has no intention of max
ing any missteps or selling his birth
right for a mess of pottage, and the
grand old Republican state of Iowa
cannot do a more loyal thing. than to
stand pat for Taft and Republican

EARTH DAMS IN CALIFORNIA.

Los Angeles is arranging to secure
an adequate water supply combined
with great municipal power system
from the mountains PIT miles north of
that city, by means of system of
dams, aqeducts and siphons. Work
is now in progress on the San Fer
nando dam near Los Angeles, which
when completed will make a lake run
ming two miles back among the hills
and transfer what is now grazing
mesa into shimmering sea.
To make this dam teams and SHOW

This is the lower dam Of the San

earth is piled on either side to a

solid and impervious and the great
mass of material sustains the tremen-
dous weight OF water.
At Dry canyon the first OF the earth
dams of the aqueduct system is now
completed. It is more than 500 feet
across the top between hills, and is
sixty-one feet high. 1t, too, has a core

IOWA EDITORS For TAFT.

Iowa editors are two to one for Taft,
as disclosed by postal card canvass
made by the Des Moines Capital. The
vote stands: Taft, us; La Toilette,
95. Only editors of Republican and
independent papers were solicited for
an expression Of preference, and less
than half of them responded. The
Republican editors voted as follows:
Taft, 142; La Toilette, 50. The inde-
pendent editors are Il for Taft and
81 for La Toilette. It will be seen
from these figures that President TAFT
received almost the solid support OF
the straight Republican press OF the
state, while La Toilette drew most OF
his strength from the independent
press. The ratio of independent to
Republican papers which supported
Taft is 1 to Z, while the ratio of indie
pendent papers for La Toilette is
to IL.
One significant result of the poll, tc
which the Capital in making public
the figures calls attention, is that
larger ratio of Republican papers
which express opinions weekly on pc
litical questions gave their support Il
Taft than to La Toilette. The assump
ton is that these papers are in close
touch with their communities and know
better the sentiment of their readers
The Capitals poll makes it cleal
that Iowa is overwhelmingly for Presi
dent Taft for another term.

The Labor sIuaaers' War.

Jacksonville Courier: Word from
Chicago is to the effect that the war
fare among the labor sluggers in that
city is at an end. Most newspaper
readers are familiar with some OF the
doings Of these men and also are
aware that because of their differ
ences great losses have been suffer
ed not only by owners OF property
and contractors, but by workingmen
who have been forced to remain idle
until these warning factions could get
together.
There are many woes in the path of
the union worker in great city like
Chicago Exorbitant fees for affilia
ton with the union, numerous assess
ments, idleness because of strikes
these are few of them.
Does 1t really make any difference
to the working man what particular
labor union he belongs to? Whenever
the strike comes he is the victim who
has to "hold the bag"
But it does make difference to the
officers of these unions. The more
unions the more officers. And then
there are the salaries.
Still there is the third party to be
considered and that is the man who
employs the members of various
unions, when he erects building.
This is the way one of them ex-
plains how the multiple union bust
ness works:
When you put up a building il you
give the concrete foundation to one
union then the bricklayers and the
carpenters are not allowed to work.
If you give the work to another union
I the plumbers are stopped by their
| delegate, and the slate roofers, too.
Many buildings are not allowed to go
ahead unless money is paid to settle
this. The plumbers also won't work
until the owner gives letter saying
he will let them do the steam work.
and. when he does this then the plas-
terers and the carpenters won't work
unless the walking delegates are paid,
and when they are paid and work
then the others strike
Isn't it about time for the men who
work, and when the strike is called,
/ starve, to call a halt on this jurisdic-
tional folly? If the leaders don't see
that they are iniuring the union cause,
the public sees it, and the men ought
to begin to recognize it. In word this
jurisdictional strife is sinister men
ace to the unions.
