ELECT SENATORS III /
BY DIRECT VOTE
Senate Passes Resolution for
Constitutional Amendment.
HOUSE MAY NOT ACCEPT IT
Resolution as Adopted Carries with II
So-CaIled BristoW Amendment,
Retaining Slight Fed.
erai Control.

Washington, June 13.-The senate
passed the resolution proposing an
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for the election of senators
by direct vote.
The action of the senate marked the
successful elimination of an effort
that has extended over more than a
quarter Of century to bring this
question before the state legislatures.
The resolution was passed by the SEN
ate by vote Of GA to "a, two-thirds of
those present, or SO, being necessary
to carry the proposition.
The resolution as adopted, however,
carried with it the so-called Bristow
amendment which necessitates it's re.
turn to the house of representatives,
which had already passed it. If the
house acts favCrably upon the resolu-
ton in it's amended form, which seems
likely, it will go to the states for rati-
fication as an amendment to the Unit
ed States constitution.
The Bristow amendment aims to re-
tain in the federal government power
10 prescribe JHe manner, time ana
place of holding elections for United
States senators. The southerners OPP
posed the amendment on the ground
that it would give the federal gov
eminent power to interfere with the
so-called grandfathers clauses in the
constitutions of the southern states.
The vote on the Bristow amendment
was tie, "A to A, and Vice President
Sherman cast the vote which tackled
the amendment to the resolution.
Upon the vice president alone may
eventually rest the responsibility for
the failure of the resolution, for south
ern senators declared that it would
never be accepted in It's present form
by the legislatures of southern states
These are the senators who voted
against the resolution on the final
passage: Bacon, Bankhead, Brande-
gee, Burnham, Crane, Dillingham;,
Fletcher, Foster, Gallinger, Hepburn,
Johnston, Lippitt, Lodge, Lorimer, Oil
yer, Page, Penrose, Percy, Richardson,
Root, Smoot, Terrell, Williams and |

oIyeerIne Advancing In Price.

During the last eighteen months.
says London Engineering, the price Of
glycerine has risen over so per cent,
and a few days ago the highest price
on record was touched, there being a
further advance of $25 a ton. This
great rise in price affects many indus
tries, and is said to be due largely to
the scarcity of fats and oils from
which glycerine Is made as by
product In the manufacture of soap.
and the increased demand for glycer-
Inc for the manufacture Of high ex-
plosives, great quantities of which are
required for the construction of the
Panama canal and other great engi-
neering works.

Rat Destruction,

Rats can be poisoned by means Of
strychnine or boiium carbonate if
care is taken to use bait which rats
like and OF which ordinarily they do
not get much. Trapping, while slower
than poisoning, is very certain and
satisfactory. An old fashioned trap
which has given good results is bar
rel half full of water. Upon the head
of this barrel an assortment of attract
i've food should be displayed until the
rats form a habit of eating there.
Then the head should be balanced on
pivots in such a manner that any
weight whatever will tilt it. Rats will
come as usual, and in the morning
they will all be found in the barrel.

TT is common knowledge that birds
are no small factor in the suppress.
sion and control of insect pests.
Some birds like the crow, blackbird
and bluejay have reputation of being
harmful, but in an investigation by the
department OF agriculture, Washing
ton, d. c., it was found that the stom-
ach contents of these birds was near
ly all insects. The blackbird Is trou-
blesome for very short time during
corn planting season, but is one Of
the most valuable birds throughout
the remainder of the year. The crow
needs no words of defense: he is very
able to take care of himself, except
when boys find tree containing nest
and young.
Most Michigan birds are protected
by law, but still there is much that
ought to be done to favor their in
crease. 1t is not so much the willful
destruction by means of guns that
has caused a decrease in the number
of birds as 1t is the removal of the for.
ests without any effort being made to
provide a substitute for these natural
sources Of food and protection. The
presence of a few trees about farm
place, especially If evergreens in the
form of windbreak, will attack birds
in numbers, atfording them nesting
places and PROCESSION from storms.
Probably the greatest enemies of
bird life are air rifles and cats. It
has been estimated that eats destroy
nearly half million birds in Michigan
every season. The countless numbers
of insects which such an army of birds
would kill can hardy be conceived.
Cats seem to be a necessity about the
farm buildings, to hold mice and rats
in check, but IL is crime against
ones best friends to keep cat that
robs all the nests in the orchard and
eats the young birds before they have
learned to fly. Anything done to favor
birds is not only good sentiment but
good business and economy.

TAFTRELEASES LIFE CONVICT
Man Who Prevented Delivery Of In.
diana Prisoners Pardoned.

Washington, June 13. - President
Taft granted an unconditional pardon
to Lorenzo d Barnes, an inmate of the
government hospital for the insane
here, who recently prevented a whole
sale delivery of insane convicts from
the institution by overhearing their
plans and notifying the guards.
Barnes was convicted of killing a
man who had DETAINED his wife. While
serving life sentence he became in
sane, but he has regained his reason.
Attorney-General Wickersham recon-
mended his pardon with the observa-
ton that he had taken the life of one
scoundrel, but saved the lives of sew
eral government officers" President
Taft denied several applications for
executive clemency.

seeds are held out rigidly to be run
into by animals and carried away in
their coats. 1t is this that makes the
weed a nuisance because the seeds
lodge in the wool and depreciate it's
value, stick in the coats of other ami
mails and cling to clothing. thus be-
coming widely distributed.
The plant cannot withstand cultiva-
ton where the land is drained, but its
suppression in swamps and river bot
tom lands Is more difficult. Usually
the easiest way is to fit the land SUI
ficiently to let clover and other pas
ture plants get start. These will
soon replace Beggar-ticks as we'll as
other swamp weeds.
