is founded on the recognition of the

in heredity, but they merely call us to
the higher responsibility.
when we yield to race prejudice we
are judging not according to the indi-

not gathered from the study of the
mass, but has travelled down to us
through the years after repeated refu-

mass the less does the picture of it's

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

There are many persons" says the
Kansas City Journal, who believe
that the mere momentum acquired by
any given movement is proof positive
of its justice or other desirability.
This is notably true of the movement
for the election of senators by the
direct vote of the people, which bears
every evidence of having acquired pop
ular momentum but the advisability of
whose success is open to serious ques-
ton. Against the rabid populism Of
those who clamor for the overhauling
of the federal constitution on this and
other issues of high Importance 1t is
we'll to place such SOLDERING cautions
as that delivered by Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts in his able and dig
nified argument in the senate the
other day
"The crux of Senator Lodges argu-
ment is that portion which directs
timely attention to the practical con-
version of the senate of the United
States into second house of rep
resentatives,' giving to the individ-
.ual voters far too powerful a voice
in the selection of officials who are
as far removed from the restrictions
of state lines and the geographical
concerns of communities as the farm
ers Of the constitution could we'll
prescribe and still provide for the
election Of senator's by the states
themselves. The house Of represent
atives was wisely made the popular
branch of the administrative gov
eminent of the nation. It's men,
bers are elected every two years,
which amounts almost to the recall
of which so much is heard these
days. The senate, on the other
hand, was conceived as federal body
in it's broadcast sense of statesman.
ship, responsible to the electors and
yet constituting the conservative
body separated by six-year terms
from the heat and excitement OF bi-
ennial campaigns.
ITO remove this broad phase of real
nationalism and to. make the senate
a mere aggregation Of congressman
elected for six years instead Of two,
must inevitably depart widely from
the views Of the trainers Of the con-
stitution and to go backward toward
the confederation of the colonies
which the inspired craftsmanship OF
the fathers improved upon by weld.

The more experience Iowa has with
its primary election law the more 1t
is being made plain that the direct
nomination system takes from the peo-
pie, instead Of giving to them, the
power Of selecting the men they want
in Office Under the primary system the
people cannot select a man for an Of
fee, but have to vote for man who
has selected himself for the Office. The
direct nomination system does away
with the dark horse feature. The peo-
pie have to nominate some one Of the
announced candidates. Under the con-
vention plan the Office could seek the
man. If the people were divided and
could not decide between the candi-
dates who had announced themselves,
or wished to reject all theses candi-
dates, through their chosen represen-
tatives in the convention, they could
nominate another man. The primary
takes this power from them.

With q groan, the man dropped the

Before him rose the long line OF un.

thought-but that does not excuse
me. Can you care, after all this

Janet's breath caught in a sob, and
he took her in his arms.
IF only you will trust me again

ton too pryingly. Always there is one
valentine which carries great deal
from the child that sends it." The
Marshalltown paper adds:
II you can not remember your child
hood and the futter of valentine time,
perhaps you'd better see specialist,
one Of the "alienist" variety. And II
you can remember you will understand
why the boy acted so embarrassed and
funny when he spoke Of one which
would cost quarter.
A quarter buys really artistic Gre
alton nowadays. A nickel gets thing
of taste and beauty. Remember the
old daub you spent the treasured dime
for and the three cent stamp you
begged of mother that you might mail
it? 1t was prodigious. The picture OF
two fierce looking hearts straight from
the slaughter house and dripping with
gore, transfxed by an arrow the size
of fence stake, cupid of whose at
tire you found yourself wholly unable
to approve and who looked like Pete
Jones's crazy child in the face, with q
lace flummididdle around the edges.
That's the valentine you bought. He
gave you an envelope to put 1t in and
after it was in and sealed you got
afraid she's think it came from an
other boy and took 1t out to write your
initials on it where they wouldn't be
noticeable but where you could find
them if it became necessary to prove
anything. Do you remember that just
then the valentine business was quite
the main thing in life? Well, the kids
feel just the same as you did. Children
don't change as much as valentines.
And valentines don't change anything
but their shape and colors and so on.
They mean the same now that they
did then when the rose was red and
the violet blue.
The kids are only little men and
women with little men and women's
loves and Nkings and desires and
hopes. Disappointment hits them as
hard as it does bigger men and
women. Only it doesn't hang on to
them like it does to their elders. There
is as much noblesse oblige on the
school grounds as in society: prom
Use or a duty means as much in the
school room as upon the market. Give
the kid enough to be fright among his
peers. Let him do the right thing. he
must be an average among his fellows
if he is to become an average among
men.
Above all don't give him the impress
sion that his hopes and ambitions and
likings and all that goes up to make
his sphere is boys play are beneath
your notice. 1t isn't SO. We make our
good and bad men, our useful or worth
less grown ups at school and at home
and on the way to and fro. Really the
most important life in the world is that
of the children 1t doesn't make so
much difference about the ripened
crop, it's the growing one that VIII

tine for some little girl whom MS

Ottumwa must admit the truth of
the Agency mans charges. Our streets
have been in a deplorable condition all
winter. In view Of the manifold activi-
ties of Ottumwa's progressive citizen
ship this is woefully short.sighted
policy. The first impression the visitor
in the city gets is a bad one, and this
is the impression he carries away with
him.
Here is problem that Ottumwa
should solve, and that speedily. There
must be thorough system of street
cleaning planned and executed, and
once set on foot this work should be
carried on systematically every day.
Ottumwa's streets have been too long
neglected. We have been SO busy about
our other affairs that our ordinary
homework has been left undone.
The rain last night gave the streets
a partial cleaning. Part of the winters
accumulation of dirt and slush was
washed down into the sewers. But we
can't expect to leave our street clean
ing to Mother Nature.
When the apportionment Of funds
for the conduct of the city's affairs
during the next fiscal year Is made.
there should be larger appropriation
set aside for street cleaning. This work
is too important to be handicapped by
an insufficient appropriation. And a
part of this appropriation should go to
the purchase of street fusher. It has
been demonstrated that the flusher
system of street cleaning is the cheap
est and most thorough. Heretofore,
when this matter was brought up, it
was declared that the city was without
funds to purchase flusher. The city
will have funds, however, when the
annual apportionment is made this
spring, and part of this money can
be set aside for street cleaning work.
