Election Of Senators.
philadelphia Press

The constitutional amendment max.
lug United States Senator'S elective BY
popular vote instead of.by legislatures.
Is now the unfinished business before
the Senate. This gives the amend.
ment a more advanced position than it
ever reached before. It was placed
there by persistent maneuYering, sup.
ported by a very small majority vote.
II II were an ordinary bill Its passage
at this session would be assured but
a two-thirds vote is. needed for a con-
stltntional amendment. Unless 1t can
secure more votes on its passage then
It has had in the balloting which gain.
ed Il the RICH, way, 1t Will be defeated
for this session.
1t is possible that some Of the votes
withheld from the amendment in the
preliminary skirmishing may be given
In Its support when senators are
called TO make a record for or against
on the question OF its passage. 1t is
rash, therefore. to assume too positive.
ly that 1t cannot rass at this session,
though the indications are against 1t.
Its status In the next Congress will be
very different. A large number OF the
senators whose votes were recorded
adversely 10 the amendment on Frioa,
are losing their senatorial careers, at
least for the present. New senators
will take their places whose antece.
dents favor the presumption that they

is being taken 10 ascertain the public

in the Postofice Department that the

the strongest opposition to closing

from those men who are writing and

BY. all means respect the tender
wishes OF those In love! All the world
loves a lover, the postofice chiefs not

love letters, for the nation that writes
no love letters Is indeed an object OF

Government Management.

A singular contrast bearing alike on

made by the Engineering Contracting
Magazine. 1t Is that while the gov.
eminent pays the railroads 1926 per
ton for transporting the mails the ex.
press companies get. their t%ransporta.
ton for SIS per ton.
This is presented by The magazine
In question as an evidence OF the III.
ferior efficacy Of government manage.
ment amounting to q case OF gross OK.
travagance. Surprising the figures TO
be correct. 1t amounts 10 that: but
that is not all that It intimates. 1t
also suggests that the pull" OF the
express companies on the railroads Is
not confined to the excluIye contracts
which they scverally get. The UNI.
bilical connection between the two
classes OF corporations may have re-
suited in a. rate to the express com:
panics as much too low as the rate to
the postal department Is loo high.
But another and more pertinent de-
duction seems to be the one relating
to the qualification Of the postoAlce or.
ganlzation to operate with success an
extension of its business into the ex-
press field. How can a business con.
