The Senator says that whenever our present form of representative gov ernment proves ineffective Or works badly, the fault is not with the ma chine. but with those who are operat- ing it. The remedy is for the people to exercise more care in the Selection of their operating agents
 With this I can not agree. As long ago as the oldest Senator can remem- Der We were told that poor public ser vice was our own fault in not choosing better officers. The people have tried this remedy as often as can be ex- pected of a patient body of citizens. listened to the oft-repeated assertion that if they do not get good service is their own fault-that the machine IS perfect. Now they seek another remedy, and have decided to try chang ing the machinery-not by demolish- ing 1t, but by providing a few new levers and drivewheels and brakes so themselves. Too long they let it run to suit special choosers''
 When he asserts that the fault lies With the people if they have bad gov ernment, the Senator may find many approving hearers among profession al politicians, but few throughout the country. Many time the people have 'oICQ 1OI d IICW uSdl dIlu secured not a new deal but a new dealer who shuffled the same old pack of marked cards and walked away with the cash If the Senator will travel over this country telling the people that it is their own fault if they have bad gov- ernment and that . there is nothing wrong with the machinery, he will re- turn to Washington with new impress sions of the intelligence and also the candor of American citizens. No doubt he will conclude that the coun- try is full of 'insurgent soothsayers,'' g ''quacks,' political zealots," balloon atics," ''self-constituted reformers,'' 2 'visionaries,'' and .demagogues."
 l think, Mr.. President, have made clear the omst important difference between the views of our governmental system entertained by the Senator from Utah and those held by myself He believes the machine is all right, but the fault lies with the people. I be- lieve the people are all right, but the fault lies with the machine
 The people will reform the machine If given chance. In Arizona 76 per cent of the people voted to reform the machine by adopting the initiative and referendum and recall, and even- tually they will do it in every other State. The difficulty is that legisla- lures can not be induced to submit to the people constitutional amend ments providing these new levers, drive wheels and brakes in the gov- ernmental machine

Negro Lynching To Be Probed By
 Governors Order
Especial from United Press.) r1

New York, Aug. Ex-Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, today, ordered a searching investigation of the lynch ing of Zachary Walker a negro, who was burned at the, stake yesterday, after a mob of thousand persons had fought their way into the hospital at Cotesville, Pa, and dragged the wounded victim from his cot.
 This outrage by citizens of Penn sylvania is one of the most terrible I have ever heard off, said the Gov ernor, today, at the Waldorf. 'I have scene and after Team in possession of all the facts I shall see that proper action is promptly taken"
 The Governor was visibly moved as the narrowing details of the crime were brought to him.
 While I supposed such crimes oc- casionally occur. I intend to show that justice moves quickly in our state. The fact that this negro was not charged with attacking a white wom- an makes this lynching the more diff ficult for me to understand. He kill ed Edgar Rice, watchman who, am informed, was very popular in Coatesville."
 According to reports received by the Governor, scores of persons returning from attending church services joined the mob that dragged the negro to the edge of the town where he was chain ed to a pile of rails and a bonfire lighted under him. Five thousand people heard the negros cries for mercy as the flames .crept up about his legs and began to scorch his flesh.
 Coatesville, Pa., Aug. 14.-With a skull and two ribs, all that remains of Zachary Walker, a negro lynched by an infuriated mob of citizens for the murder of Edward Rice, thrown in a soap box and exposed at the junction of Eschelton Road and Hos pital Lane, over which he was drag ged, the residents of the town, today, expressed a determination to balk the efforts of the sheriffs to arrest the persons responsible for the first burn ing at the stake in the history of the state.
 Several thousand excited but fully determined citizens, ready to block the law by further violence if neces- sary, are, today, pacing the streeets of the little village. Notices were posted ordering all saloons and hotel bars to close and none will be allow ed to reopen for business until the excitement has died down.
 On the box in which the bones of the negro were placed the following was written:
 Return to relatives"
 Despite the opposition to Sheriff Golden's efforts to find those guilty of the burning. both Coroner Meyers and the sheriff declared that several arrests would be made, today. They both declare that evidence has ar- ready been secured which will war rant the arrest of several lea ding citr- zens as the prime movers in the out rage Meyers will hold an inquest late today, when it is said warrants will be issued.

Police Think They
 Have Man Who Robbed
 Home of Dr. May

That Frede Laselle, painter of Stamford, formerly of this city, is the man who burglarized several months ago the home of Dr. Jacob May, and stole a valuable watch and Masonic charm, is the belief of the police.
 Laselle has but one arm. Follow ing the footing of pr. Mays residence in North avenue, the Masonic charm was discovered in a pawn shop. The man who placed it in pawn convinced the police that he was acting for a man with only one arm.
 Laselle was arrested by the Stam ford authorities yesterday, and brought here by Detective Sergeant Fox. He is charged with theft of a watch from his sister, but if the suspicious of the police are found to be we'll grounded, the charge of burglary will be lodged against him when he is brought into the city court tomorrow morning. He is in jail pending his arraignment.

Divorce Lauded By Exclusive Pastor
 In Cultured Hub
Especial from United Press.)

Boston, Aug. 14.-The Rev. Dr. H. E. Perry pastor of the exclusive War ren avenue Baptist church, is today, a storm center of commendation and condemnation following his defense of divorce generally and championing of the cause of Colonel John Jacob Astor and the parents of the multi-million- aires young bride-to-be, ~Madaline Force.
 'Divorce,'' said Dr. Perry in a ser mon. yesterday, 'is an effect, not a cause Miss Force undoubtedly loves Colonel Astor and neither hers nor her parents actions should be con- demned Divorce is a factor toward morality. I do not believe if Colonel Astor was a member of my church I would condemn him. I am sorry for a marriage with a libertine. A civiii- zation that produces an Astor must expect an Astor wedding.
 "In the days before Christ, women had no rights at all. Deut A days that if a man finds the slightest thing is 'unseemly about his wife. he can put her away-and he was sole arbi- ter. But a woman had no redress. When, therefore, they asked Jesus about divorce, he saw the need of raising woman's position
