Edith had many charms, but the
greatest Of these was her variety.
1t was my custom to say to Edith
that L went home every evening to a
different girl. Sometimes it was a
childishly ingenious. wide-eyed, inn
a calm-eyed dispenser of hospitality, a
young woman so stately that she
seemed to have the advantage of sew

previous evening. Once l was greeted

my duty to chide her for this, which
l did. asserting that I was afraid to
let myself into the front door with my
latch key. If / was bringing a friend
to dinner, lest we find her making a
rapid descent OF the balusters. This
practice, l must ga in justice to Edith,
she indignantly denied. Occasionally
l found a petulant beauty directing my

But these and a hundred other

characteristics, persistence. Il wish

The next week when l came home I
found Edith and her bosom friend,
Nellie Glider, in close conference in the

made her escape as quickly as possible,

APPROVES POPULAR
VOTE FOR SENATOR
Crumpacker Urges Passage
of Bill and Promises
Active Support.
NEW ORLEANS IS FAVORED
Endorsed by Many Indiana CONNER
cial Bodies as Place for
Panama Exposition

Washington, Jan. Representative
Crumpacker of Indiana is doing all he
can to promote the legislation now be-
fore Congress, looking toward an
amendment to the Federal cons titution
that VIII permit the election of United
States senator's by popular vote.
Il am heartily in favor of this re-
FORM said the only Republican mem
Der of the Indiana delegation who sur
vived the recent landslide 1t has been
before the House several times and
have always voted for 1t. / shall do so
again this winter If 1 have an opportu-
nifty and l have no doubt it would pass
the House by a very substantial ma
jority. The only danger is it will get
hung up in the Senate. although / un-
derstand there is stronger sentiment
behind it at that end OF the Capitol
than ever has been before.
The ancient theory that the election
of senators should be removed from
the people in order to prevent waves of
popular passion prejudice from
exerting too great an influence over
legislation is, in my opinion, untenable.
The fact that senators are elected
only once in six years and that only
one-third of the senatorial body goes
out of office at a time. leaving two
thirds remaining. furnishes an adequate
guarantee against sudden and ephem-
eral popular impulses, such as some
times comes along.
ION the other hand the popular cleo
tion of senators will operate to prevent
the special interests from controlling
the election of senators. which every
body knows they do in certain in
stances. 1t is reform that is in har-
mony with the spirit of the times. Let
the Senate pass 1t and put 1t up to the
House. l will promise that the House
will pass it in a hurry"

CONSTITUTION MAY
BLOCK LEGISLATION
Is One Amendment Pending
When Voters Fail to Give
It Majority
QUESTION IS MOST VITAL ONE
Four Important Bills Would Wait
If Affirmative Is
Answered.

A problem for constitutional lawyers
has arisen out Of condition which may
possibly block all amendments to the
Indiana constitution and thereby de-
feat at least four of the biggest meas
ures which will come before the gener-
al assembly.
The question is whether the constitu-
ton can be amended during the coming
session. II this is decided in the mega
tive the presentation of acts requiring
citizenship for voting, new methods of
apportionment, educational qualifica-
lions for voters and workmens COM
pensation will be useless.
The constitution of the state declares
no amendment to it can be presented
while another amendment is pending
before the general assembly or before
the people. The proposed amendment
concerning qualifications of attorneys
was voted upon in the last election.
Since it did not receive a majority of
the votes cast and was thereby lost
temporarily the constitutional authori-
ties in law are now puzzled. They
wonder whether in the legal sense the
attorneys qualification amendment has
been dropped or is still pending.
Is the proposed amendment pending

still, or is 1t necessary to begin all over
again and have the same bill acted up
on by two legislatures in order to get
1t before the people again?
Only One Precedent.
If the proposed amendment is still
before the people this will prevent any
other amendment being considered The
same case arose in 1881 when amend
ments were not passed at election be-
cause not enough voters cast their bal
lots upon it, The legislature referred
them to the people at the next legisia-
ton without beginning all over again.
This action was upheld by the court,
which would imply that the amend
ments were still considered as pending.
This is the only known precedent
Numerous amendments have been Of
fered this year concerning matters OF
vital import to the constitution.
At present a foreigner who has de-
clared his intention of becoming citi-
zen can qualify voter and an
amendment is sought to make citizen
ship necessary 20 the casting of the
ballot.
A new method of apportionment
which is being sought by Legislators
also requires an amendment At pres
ent when a county has more than
enough population to insure 1t a single
representative, 1t is awarded Joint
representative with another county.
Ihe larger counties thus have the
smaller ones at their mercy, it Is said
The new apportionment will tend to
award representatives by counties SOLE

into consideration, regarding the Sea-

Certainly Crown Pointers should

E. ]. Burlington. president of the ulf-
nois Steel Company, now spoken of as
the probable successor OF w. e. Corey.
president of the United States Steel
Company, yesterday assumed an atti-
tude of silence when asked to confirm
or deny the reports emanating from
Wall street
Il know nothing more than 1 have
read in the papers," he said mo one
knows what will happen. 1 cannot dis
cuss possibilities"
President Burlington is one of the
most picturesque figures in the com
mercial world. Probably less is known
of him than any other man who is at
the head of an immense corporation.
This is due to his extreme reticence. as
| rarely gives out an interview.
President Buffington's first connec
ton with the steel industry came about
in 1884 at Covington, KY. where he be-
came stakeholder and director of the
Wire Nail Manufacturing Company. He
took a prominent part in the affairs OF
OF the company until 1898. when he
came to Chicago as an officer and d.
rector and one of the executive com
| mittee of the American Steel & Wire
Company. On January / a year later
he was elected to the presidency of the
Illinois Steel Company. He is forty
