The same dispatches which tell
of the millions of dollars being
spent on the coronation, tell of big
detachments of soldiers being pres
ent in the city to hold back the
thousands of beggars who throng
the streets on SUCH occasions.
Millions of the peoples money be-
ing spent for such medieval foldera
is what makes, or helps to make,
these beggars. Press & Dakotan.
We can hardly comprehend how
beggars can be made by the lavish
expenditure of the money of the
rich. The money thus spent was
not thrown away. 1t simply
changed hands, and in this change
it passed from the Golfers of the
rich to "the butcher, the baker,
The candle stick maker" To the
liveryman, the jsWeler, the taylor,
and other members of the indust-
rial classes whose services were
needed in arranging for this "fold-
erol." 1t may have been foolish
expenditure from the standpoint of
the spender, but it served to dis
tribute wealth that would other
wise have remained boarded, and
was thus an advantage to the poor
er classes. We may criticize the
industrial system that promotes
the accumulation of vast fortunes,
but this is not what the P. &. D. is
criticizing. 1t is objecting to the
spending of the money for such
folderol, but we contend that hay
ing been boarded, any form of
medieval or modern folderol that
will result in its distribution is a
good thing.

The house has refused to concur
on the Bristow amendment to the
direct elections amendment so the
election of U. s. senators by pop
ular vote is still an uncertainty.
The Bristow amendment provided
for federal control of senatorial
elections and the house, which is
democratic and composed largely
of southern members, naturally
does not want any federal inter
ference with such elections.

Sterling as candidate for United
States senator. Mr.. Sterling was
born in Ohio in 1851, but moved
with his parents to Mclean coun-
ty, ILL.,, in 1855. He graduated
from the university in Blooming
ton in 1875. Studied law at
Springfield, ILL.,, and was admitted
to the bar in 1878. While living
in Illinois he served two years as
superintendent of schools, and as
city attorney of Springfield. In
1882 he located in Sphinx county,
then Dakota Territory. He was
district attorney of that county,
and was member of two consti-
tutional conventions-that of 1888
and of 1889. He was a member
of the first state senate and was
chairman of the judiciary in that
body In 1901, when the law de.
partment was established at the
state University he was appointed
dean of the school and has held
that position ever since. Under
