There is a tremendous drift OF pub
lie opinion throughout the United !
States toward the election of senators
by direct vote of the people and
we take it that the sentiment VIII
sooner or later be crystalized into a.
law.
Reactionary, indeed, the man would
be regarded these days who would
contend against this principle. And
yet the fathers who framed the CON
stitution of the United States had a
purpose and good reason behind
that purpose in ordering the election
of senators in the manner prescribed.
The election of senators by legisla-
tors in the last ten years has been
marked by scandals, and because OF
these scandals there is demand for
a change. Sometime the election of
senators by the people may be accom-
panied by other scandals. One thing
Is certan-that in many cases of a
direct vote with full field the smart
man who seizes upon the greatest
prejudice in his state and plays it
hard and strong will get the votes.
This is a danger that is common
in all direct elections.
But We would better have no di-
rect election of senators than to have
this election controlled by the federal
government. In days gone by, part
of the term of every session of con
gress was devoted to an attempt OF
republicans to get what they consid
cred full rights for the negroes in
the south by taking certain acts away
from the control of the state by plac'
ing them under the control of the ma
tonal government
These movements were concealed
under most specious plea. The Blair
education bill was fought by southern
democrats. not because the democrats
opposed the cause of education, but
for the reason that in the operation
of the law the federal government
became an active agent and would
under certain conditions bring the
race question forward.
The force bill was a direct effort to
seize on the election machinery of the
south.
Senator Sutherland wants direct
elections of senators by the states,
but he also wants the federal govern
ment to control the elections. There
is no good reason for this amendment,
and there is every reason why the
southern people should oppose it.
The negro in the south is no longe:
an active figure in politics. 1t is best
for the negro and it is best for the
south that this is so. The negro's
mind. having been taken away from
politics, is given an opportunity to
concentrate upon gainful pursuits.
The result is that the negroes as a
rule have gone to work, are self-sup
porting, and are making progress
along their own lines. II would be a
curse to the southern negro to put
him back in politics, and any law that
contemplates this or the possibility
of this should be fought to the limit
by southern white men who under
stand conditions as they are.
We are glad that Senator Percy
called the attention of the people to
the purpose of the Sutherland amend
ment. If we are to have the direct
election of senators by such a meth
cd. we would rather have the present
system with its occasional show OF
weakness remain.-Appeal.

Passing Fancies
DID YOU?
(By Redynu5)


(By Redynuo)
Did you ever sit at evening, ard
think of the days gone by,
The happy times and pleasant hours
you remembered as a boy,
OF all the playmates, boys and girls
you knew, and tears began
To trickle down your cheek, and
wish to see them once again?
You cannot meet them all, old man,
for death has claimed a part,
Some have succeeded, others failed,
but yet within your heart,
You have longing just to go to
the snady. rock-bound dell,
Where bubbled the spring that
quenched your thirst,
That You drank from and all was
well.
So lei us go back, old man, today,
back 10 our early home.
Visit once more the clear, cool
spring, tho | fear that our
friends will be gone,
Out into the world, as you and !, oil
seeking a fortune betime,
But wen drink one cup from its
cooling depths,
In memory of Aud iand syne,"

MILD, GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE

So many of the ills of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the importance
of keeping the bowels open. 1t is
always important to do that, regard
less of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects
of coming through healthy if she
watches her bowel movements. If you
find yourself constipated, with bad
breath, pimply complexion, headaches,
belching gas and other symptoms
of indigestion and constipation, take
