Out Door Concerts this Summer

1t would be good idea, should the
common council designate committee to
make arrangements with the WatertOwn
Military Band for three or more evening
out door concerts each week during the
summer. The Park Commission might
be authorized by the council to make
such arrangements with the band as
would be satisfactory to the band
last season, the expense did not
amount too much and could easily
be raised by the Park commission.

AS KNOWN BY ITS FRUITS

The following from the Chicago
Inter-Ocean is so near the truth
that it is reproduced for the benefit
of those who favor the election of
United States Senators by direct
vote:
The Democratic leaders of the
House, according to a Washington
dispatch, are expecting to make the
passage of a bill providing for the
direct popular election of United
States Senators about the first COM
pleted item of their special session
program.
When we read such news as this
we are moved to wonder whether it
is the desire of these Democrats to
degrade the quality of the Senate
at the very time when they are
hoping to secure control of it. We
are also moved to ask where are
their eyes and ears?
For they have but to step over
to the Senate chamber and see and
hear what sort of Senators has been
produced by the direct primary.
They can, without special effort or
inconvenience, observe the direct
Senator in his habit as he lives.
The fruits of the direct method
of making Senators, so far as 1t
has been possible to evade the
constitutional requirements, are
now very much in evidence at
Washington. They have been &C
cumlating there, chiefly from the
states beyond the Mississippi, until
there are now sufficient specimens
at hand from which to form a gen
eral Judgment.
AS fruits of the direct method
we have now in the Senate persons
who cannot speak the English
language decently. We have there
persons whose thoughts are SO in
coherent that they cannot speak for
ten minutes or write 1000 words
without getting on both sides OF
a question.
We have Senators whose vlsages
remind one of the cruel and silly
trifers who made the Reign of
Terror. We have Senators whose
manners compel the observer to
ask himself whether this is the
Senate of the United States or a
Southwestern Legislature.
1t is a thousand pities that the
whole body of voters cannot be
transported to Washington and
given opportunity to observe the
direct Senators as they strut and
fuss and jingle and lay their petty
schemes to get their names in the
papers. The experience would cure
many direct decisions.
