Local Option
In Choosing Senators.

Harper's Weekly will be getting into
trouble if it does not have a care Last
week it endorsed the following from
the Bridgeport Standard: y,
We believe considerably in local OPP
ton" and we do not confine that, as is
usually the case, to the sale of spiritu-
GUS liquors, but would broaden it to
other matters, in the deciding of which
local or sectional conditions have
proper hearing. The election of
United States senator's, for instance, is
going to be made a popular. or more
popular matter. That is coming, be-
You'd doubt. and the way in which it is
to come is a matter of considerable
moment. We would join Harper's
Weekly in this business and propose
that the states should be left to choose
their senators as they individually
think best. That is, if Texas wants to
continue the present legislative method,
let her do so. and if Maine prefers to
do the electing on the general state
ticket by the people, let her have her
way, duly and legally established
through legislative action. That is
local option" applied to the senator
ship, and we cannot see that it is not
entirely fair and just.
In approving this plan, Harper's goes
on to say:
Nor can anybody else demonstrate
that it is not fair just, and eminently
sound solution of the difficulty. We
expect to see the proposal advanced in
the regular session of congress begin
ming in December.
" We quite agree with Harper's and we
readily endorse the proposition in toto,
but the Weekly is hereby cautioned
that it is treading on dangerous ground.
docs Harpers not know that this very
plan was proposed by Mr.. Bryan as
far back as 1894 when the Nebraskan
was then a member of congress? And
is Harper's prepared to stand for any
thing which Mr.. Bryan has ever pro-
posed or endorsed?
Here was Mr.. Bryan's plan as pre-
scented in 1894:
1.-The senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators from
each state, chosen for six years, and
each senator shall have one vote. The
senator's shall be chosen by the legis-
latures of the several states, unless the
people of any state, either through
their legislatures or by the constitu-
ton Of the state, shall provide for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people. Then. in such
case, during the existence of such
statutory or constitution provision.
United States senators shall he elected
in such state at large by direct vote
of the people; a plurality shall elect,
and the electors shall have the qualii-
cations requisite for electors of the
most numerous branch of the state
legislature"
We dislike to cause any embarrass-
ment, but ii seems to The Journal that
before its New York contemporary gets
into the case any further it should be
advised that the plan for electing SEN
ators, good as it is, is one of Mr..
Bryan's original plans. Knowing that.
II Harper's still wants to pursue the
policy, it can of course do so. We,
however, have called attention to the
facts and done our duty. The burden
must henceforth be on Harper's.

flcers doing the will of the people and
taxes would be reduced to a minimum.
1t is evident that Mr.. Clark did not
alone mean a literary education enough
to enable a person to mark his ballot,
but he wanted them to be educated to
that point of intelligence and self-re-
spect that the man could not only mark
his ballot, but could cast it right and
according to the dictates of his con-
science.
Hundreds of voters that are fairly
we'll educated fail to cast their ballot

tation.
Kelvin eyed him coldly. You were
not asked for any comments or expla-
nations, Mr. Blagg," he observed. For
the remainder Of the evening you will
kindly and without unnecessary con-
versation attend to the duties which

Blagg caught his breath sharply and
trembled. His hands clinched convul-

UNIVERSITY NOTES.


The College of Law of the Univer-
sity of Florida has just completed a
year of rapid and substantial growth.
Although this is only the second year
Of its existence the law school regis
tered AZ students and graduated a class
of fourteen. From the very beginning
of the law college the high character
and maturity of it's students has been
evident. Seventeen of the men enrolled
in the law school this year have been
college men and have received training
in various colleges of arts and sciences.
Many others possessed more than the
preliminary education required for ad-
mission to law colleges under the rules
of the Association of American Law
Schools.
There were three men on the law
faculty who devoted their entire time
to the work of teaching. A number of
special lectures was delivered by emf
nent lawyers of the state. Notable
among these may be mentioned the ad-
dress of Hon. F. F. Fleming, Jr., of
Jacksonville, on The Trial of a Cause
at Common Law" and the lectures of
Judge Horatto Davis on Florida
Pleading and Practice" This coming
year the faculty will be strengthened
by the addition of a distinguished law
yer and graduate of the University of
Michigan.
The law school has a library Of $500
volumes, according to the original
numbering. The last legislature APP
propriated $1,000 for the purchase of
new books for the law library. 1t also
generously increased the number of
Florida Reports, in order to permit
students better to investigate the Flor
ida law.
A larger number OF inquiries for in
formation about the law school has
been received at this time than ever
before during a corresponding period.
and every indication points to the fact
that the coming session of the state
law school will be the most prosper
Gus that it has yet known.
