OBJECT LESSONS.

No more convincing object les
son for the need of a constitu-
tlonal amendment providing for
the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people
could be found than the situation
now existing in the state of West
Virginia. The term of one sena-
tor from that state will expire
next year and it is the duty of the
present legislature to elect his
successor. The death of Senator
Elkins left a vacancy which
should also be filed at this session
of the legislature. The son of
Senator Elkins was appointed by
the republican governor and
sworn in with unseemly haste lit
tie more than - hours before the
legislature met.
The state campaign was fought
out very largely upon the sena-
torial issue and the people elected
a legislature in which the demo-
Gratis have a majority on joint bal
lot. But it happens that the state
senate is evenly divided, Is demo
Gratis and Is republicans. In or
der to prevent a quorum neces-
sary for the senatorial election,
part Of the republicans members
of the senate have absented them
selves from the senate chamber
and those who were newly elected
refrained from qualifying. The
democratic members of the senate
proposed to send out the sergeant
alarms to arrest the absentees
and bring them to the capitol
whereupon the republican COVER
nor announced that he would call
out the state militia to prevent
such action.
AS a result the people Of West
Virginia are paying the expenses
of legislature which can trans
act no business and the state faces
the danger of being left without
any representation in the United
States senate. If the people had
the power to elect their senators
by direct vote such an intolerable
condition would be impossible.
Instead Of wasting their time and
the money of the taxpayers in
playing disgraceful peanut poll
ties, the legislators would be
transacting the business and at
tending to the duties for which
they were elected and the state
would be represented in the Uni
ted States senate by two men,
selected by the people on account
of their ability, instead of by one
man selected by the governor for
no better reason than that he is
the son of his father.
If any further example of the
danger of the selection of senator's
by state legislatures is needed, it
is furnished in the Lorimer scan
dial which has disgraced the state
Of Illinois. Here is a man elected
to the highest office within the
gift of his state by fragrant brib-
cry, according to the confessions
of many of the men who voted for
him, bribery SO bold that many
United States senators are oppos-
ed to giving him a seat among
them, and yet the people are help
less.
Contrast the election of Lori
mer with that of Poindexter, in
this state, under a system which
permits the people to cast an adj
visory vote, even though they can
not directly elect their United
States senators. In the campaign
in Washington one senatorial can
didate spent as much money as
would usually suffice to purchase
an election at the hands of legis-
lature, but it was money wasted,
because the people as a whole can

COLUMBU DAY.

Coluzlbus Day, Oct. ~, continues to
grow in Importance. It is doubtful If
there ever was any moment in the life
of any human being more thrilling than
the moment to Columbus when he
discovered the new world. Nor will
the narrative of the discovery ever
cease to thrill the human heart. The
success of Columbus was preceded by
poverty suffering, neglect and ridicule.
FOR eighteen years he persisted in his
theory and vainly endeavored to en-
list aid in the enterprise At the time
when Isabella offered to pledge the
jewels of the crown of CASTLE to en-
able, Columbus to embark on the voy-
age of discovery he was about fifty
six years old-a time in life when
youth and vigor and ambition are over
with the majority of men. Still the
intrepid spirit presevered. Ameri-
ca cannot be discovered again, but
there are other fefilds where victories
may be won, other worlds to conquer.
Never despair.

WILLS AND DIVORCE,

Our laws are deficient in two very
important particulars Wills and Di-
vorce. A husband or wife may will
everything away from the other ex-
cept the homestead and exemptions
as stated in Section S087 and SO99
Codes 1905; and in cases where either
one will property to the other, there
is no provision whereby the divorsee
may relinquish rights under the will
and rely on rights according to the
statute of succession. In many cases
great wrong might be done to the sur
vivor, who may have been chiefly in
strumental in the joint accumulation.
Our divorce law makes no provision
for divorce from bed or board. A
large number of citizens are opposed
to absolute divorce and for conscienti-
GUS reasons are without the protection
of the law when trouble arises be-
tween husband and wife requiring at
least a temporary separation. The
offending party, aware of the legal sit
uation, knows the injured one is help
less unless the latter apply for abso-
lutte divorce, which his or her consci-
ence forbids. Here is work for the
coming legislature.

SPECIAL MESSAGE,

The special message of the president
on the subject of judicial recall has
been circulated presumably in the in
terest Of denomination. The document
is forceful and dignified statement
of the presidents reasons for objec-
lions to judicial recall; but they are
based in large measure on the pro-
visions for recall in the constitution
of Arizona which are as follows: The
recall may be initiated six months aft
er election, by petition of Is per
cent, Of the total members of votes
cast. Within five days after filing the
petition the officer may resign. Wheth-
er he does or does not an election fol-
lows. These provisions might be so
amended as to remove many Of the
objections and at the same time retain
the principal of recall. Most of the
presidents objections apply as we'll to
general as to special elections, yet
none of the evils predicated have aris-
en-. Our own states experience on
impeachment fully demonstrates that
our provisions in that line are cum
brous costly and antiquated, and that
an excited people might as we'll be
trusted as a calm but corrupt senate
and the latter would be just as likely
to impeach an innocent man for poll
teal reasons as to acquit the other
kind for like reasons. The president
breads the danger from an excited pop
ulace but an exctable people are more
likely to go right than wrong on mat
tiers where indignation is justly
wrought up, while the calm, unexcit-
able senate may stand by corruption

The ladies of the State Federation

are doing good work The fact that
so many young and elderly ladies give
up their personal affairs for a while
and turn their attention to the public
good in this selfish age is a very o.
t1mistic sign. But that is not all. The
young members of the Federation
show the progressive tendency of the
race and the elderly ladies demon
strate that the hand that rocked the
cradle has not lost its cunning. There
is no reason why a mother should not
rule the world little after it has
passed the cradle stage. The ruling
should not be left entirely to the brew
ers or the other forces of Antichrist.
But there is much to be done, and who
is more capable of doing the good
work than the good mother? March on,

FIGHT ON SALARLY Loan

waged apparently successful war
on loan sharks, on behalf of en-

The fight by the company to

held by the courts, which have
declared the assignment of sal
aries void.
Seven employees were sued by
a loan shark in default of pay
ment.
The hearing developed that
when loans were made. the appli-
cant signed notes and powers of
attorney. Notes were secured by
assignment of salary. Upon de-
fault in installments, the money

lender assigned the claims in

there are no usury laws. The as
signee then served the employer
with notice of the assignment and
attempted to collect.
Gimbel Brothers refused to
honor assignments.
The court handed down it's de-
cision under the law of 1904,
which makes it necessary, when
an employe assigns his salary, that
the employer be served with no.
tioe within three days. In this
case the loan shark failed to give
the notice aud the decision was in
favor of the defendant.
In line with Gimbel Brothers
stand it is stated that the West
