ELECTION or SENATORS.

While poular election Of Senators
will no doubt prevent some Greet
bribery and will put an end TO legis-
lative deadlocks. those who cherish
the idea that the quality and caiibre
ofthe members Of the United States
Senate will be thereby improved are
merely hugging fond delusion to
their simple breasts. Popular cleo
ton of Senators is coming. The
amendment would have been submit
ted by the recent congress but for the
Sutherland amendment vesting all
control of the elections In the FEEDER
al government, an amendment
really designed to accomplish what 1t
succeeded in doing, the defeat OF the
resolution. But II the supporters OF
popular elections are moved by the
belief that the reform will give to the
Senate of the United States anler,
truer or more capable legislators they
are merely wasting their energies in
chasing fond delusion.
There is nothing in the experience
of this government to give encourage
ment to the hope that popular elec-
tions will improve the quality OF the
Senators. Governors are elected by
direct vote of the people in every
State of the Union and ex-Governors
make up considerable per cent OF
the members of the Senate VIII
any one insist that the Governors OF
the United States are of higher type
are abler. or are more thoroughly
qualified for public service than the
Senators? The ablest representative
that Tennessee ever had in the Senate
of the United States was defeated
for reelection in popular primary
nv one of the weakest Senators that
the state ever had He was also de-
feated in a popular primary for Gov
ernor.
Tennessee has two Senators now
one chosen by popular vote, the other
by the constitutional method OF the
fathers. The former might remain
forever at the national capital and he
would never make great Senator, he
would never rise above the mediocre
The latter, the Senator elected by the
General Assembly without popular in
structions, is destined TO make one c.
the ablest and strongest members Of
the great deHberative body. 'shan
G. Harris would probably have beer
defeated for the Senate In 1877 ant
again in 1889 had there been a direc
vote. No matter what the method O
election may be the quality OF ou
public servants will not be improved

TO their obligations as citizens. Ant
those who think that mere chang
of method will work reform Of tn

leader of the mountains, has evolved
a plan by which he hopes to bring
peace to Tennessee and sorely need
ed harmony to the Democratic PARTY.
In brief Col. Owens proposes that Sen
ators Lea and Taylor, being the lead
ers of the two factions of the Demo
cratic party of the State, shall name
three friends from each grand divis-
ion of the State to assemble at Nash
Vile at an early date for the purpose
of trying to effect some settlement Of
party difficulties.
OF all the plans that have been sug-
gested for harmony in the Democrat
ic party, that of Col. Owens is the
fairest and seemingly the most likely
to bring about the desired end. II Is
fair to both parties, just to the DEM
ocrats of the State and If care shall
be exercised by both Senators In max
ing their selections We feel sure that
such a committee could perform q
service of vast benefit to the people
of this State.

Senators Taylor and Lea think of the
plan but it is inclined to the beliei
that they look upon any proper eff

Perhaps one Of the most wonderful in

into the beauty of golf Is the controversy
that is going on in the goling world as
to how the pull is obtained. Now. Harry
vardon has called the pull one of the
master strokes of the game. and In his
book, 1.-The Complete Golfer" he has told
us how to play it. and many other books
have told us how to play 1t. and practi-
caily all Of them ignore the one thing or
outstanding importanca-the upward. out

to do with the stroke except as part OF

The Small Fruit Crop
GLEN KIRKToN

The Red currant and the goose
berry are small fruits that can be very
profitably raised in this portion of the
Arkansas valley Currants will yield
from 5000 to $500, and gooseberries
from $3.50 to s4oO to the acre net, de-
pending on soil and care given the
bushes. Both fruits are very hardy
and very prolific as raised under ir-
rigation in this valley.
The varieties which are the most
profitable here are the Red Cherry,
Faye's Prolific and London Market
currants, their season coming in the
order named, the earliest and the lat
est bringing the best prices.
In gooseberries the Oregon Cham
pion, Houghton. Downing and Pearl
are the valuable varieties The Oregon
Champion will probably produce the
heaviest crop of any fruit that grows.
The Pearl produces the largest fruit
of the four varieties named. but the
yield is not so heavy. A few years ago
gooseberries were drug on the mar
ket, but the demand has been great
er than the supply in the last few
years. One point in favor of these two
fruits is that they may be planted in
the apple rows while the trees are
young and will continue to bear good
crops even after the shade from the
spreading trees would have put most
any other fruit down and out.
There are a number of growers here

THE LATE PRUNING

In those localities where the win

of the peach buds. it would be well
to postpone pruning until about the
first of May. in order to know what
per cent of buds were alive II viii
often be found after severe win

are in the tops OF the rtees. The

which enables them to resist freezing
temperatures.
II peach trees are not headed back
some every year. It is not long before
all the bearing wood is in the tops
of trees on long. slender growth.
This is one reason why it is not wise
sometimes to prune for fruit every
year, especially after severe winters,
as in so doing one is apt to leave too
long a growth which has tendency
to shale and rob the growth of the
rest of the tree. Also when pruning
is not done every year, there is ten
dency for the young growth around
the base of the scaffold limbs TO die.
Even when these annual prunings are
resorted to. every year these little
trees as they are sometimes called.
often fail to grow for more than a
year or so. II is thought that more
severe pruning of the top each year
will have much to do with the life
of these little trees"
Although pruning of the peach can
be done as late as May. as stated
above. II the practice is kept up for
long time, there is a tendency f0-
the pruning to be light and thus hav-
