It cannot be a pleasant thing TO live
next TO a historic pile which threat.
ems TO tumble down. A few months
ago there we're fears that the wonder
ful leaning tower OF Pisa was unsafe.
but investigation resulted in reassur-
ance. For some reason new appre-
tensions have arisen. The fact that
Father Alfani. the world-renowned
seismologist, has been engaged to look
into the matter would indicate that
what is dreaded is the effect of earth
oscillations, which must be frequent in
Italy says the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
But the pressure OF the wind on the
ancient edifice is the subject of scien-
tihc measurement, and Father Alfani
has constructed an instrument by
which the minutest influence can be
ascertained The Bank of England is
a modern structure compared with
Pisa's leaning tower. but the "Old
Lady Of Threadneedle street." as the
bank is afectionately named by Lon
doners, was constructed upon wooden
piles. and these have sarunk away,
leaving a space Of several inches be-
tween them. 1t was the rotting of the
Dil!Eg beneath It that caused the fall
Of the Canpanile at Venice. The piles
under the Bank of England are being
removed and a six-foot raft of con-
crete is superceding them. The "Old
Lady's" position was. no doubt. peril

intention Of slang that this ought TO
hold her for a while.

How 70 Find Fault.

Find fault, when you must hnd

Texas has a new law which will
stop elopements, as it requires the
written consent of the parents Of
young men and women under the
legal age to their marriage before
license can be obtained. Young and
ardent lovers may lament over the
hArdships and tyranny Of this law,
but what is lost under 1t OF present
romantic bliss will be gained by fu-
ture happiness, for the usual sequel to
Gretna Green is the divorce court.

POPULAR ELECTION
BILL GOES OYER
Consideration Postponed to
the Regular Session.

Further consideration of the resolution
providing for the popular election of Sen
ators will be postponed until the regular
session of Congress, which meets in De-
cember.
The Bristow amendment, which specif-
ically reserves to Congress control over
the "times, places, and manner of. elect
ing Senator'S" as 1t now has over mem
bers Of the Lower House. is the cause OF
the disagreement between Senate and
House and the occasion for the delay In
the final passage of the resolution.
Vice President Sherman's vote was
needed in the Senate to break the tie and
adopt the Bristow amendment. When the
measure as amended went back to the
House. that body refused to concur In
the amendment, and the resolution was
sent to conference. Now the conferees,
after three warm and wordy meetings,
have agreed that II Is impossible to agree,
and the whole subject viii be laid on the
shelf for the present.
The only suggestion made looking to a
compromise was offered by Senator Ba-
con, of Georgia. He proposed that Con-
gress should exercise the power OF con-
trolling the times, places, and manner of
electing Senators only when the States
declined or refused to do 50. This amend
ment was rejected.
