Not only are the people anX-

senators by popular vote, but
they are inclined likewise to have
the president of the United
States elected in the same way.
and had there not been a long
standing quarrel between the
North and the South, this too,
would now be agitated. The
long standing quarrel between
the two sections, however, is
rrpidly being forgotten and as
soon as the North is thoroughly
convin ,ed that the South does
not propsose to again try to dis

join hands with the advocates of

the popular election of United
States senators, which is now be
fore that august body and with
fair probabilities of passage. Pc
riodically this self same measure
has bobbed up serenely, but the
interests proceeded at once to
maui the life out of it, and some
trust senator pigeonholed it, and
of course it died borin'.
1t soon became evident that
the people could get no relief
through the United States SEN
ate, and they therefore took up
the matter in tbs various states,
and to that extent obviated the
election of senators by the trusts,
and nominated them by a popu-
lar vote and made the candidates
for the legislature pledge them
selves to abide by the verdict of
the people in such popular vote
by voting in the legislature for
the senatorial candidate receiY-
a plurality of all the votes cast
at the polls.
In the state of Washington the
trust candidate, Levi Ankeny,
was beaten two years ago, and
last year the trust candidates
were beaten and Miles Poindex-
ter nominated. Other states
have gone a step further and
though the legislature was over
whelmingly Republican, the can
dates for the legislature pledged
themselves to vote for the can
didate receiving the highest
number of votes for United
States senator at the polls and
regardless of party, be elected TO
the senate by the legislature,
and, it will be remembered, that
the legislature of the state of Or
egon, though overwhelmingly
Republican, elected Democrat
to the senate because he received
the highest number of votes at
the general election.
1t will thus be seen that for
years the tendency has been to-
ward the popular election OF
United States senators, and II
the majority party in the senate
now turns the proposition down
and defers it's to some future
date then it might as well pre-
pare itself to not only lose the
majority it now has in the SEN
ate, but to likewise lose the
presidential election when sue
cessor to Taft is tc be chosen.
The people have come to the con-
clusion that that is what they
want and they propose to have it
or make ir awfully interesting
for the party in power for refus-
ing to give them the relief they
demand.
At the time of the founding
of the Republic and for many
years thereafter it may have
been the right and proper thing
to do to elect the members OF
the senate by the various legisla-
lures, but that was prior to the
DAYS af trustism, when men were
elected to the senate on their
merit and manhood rather than
for their ability to slip jokers in
all bills and measures introduc-
ed by honest men SO that the leg
islative interests of the trusts
would not be infringed upon.
Because the magazines through
out the East got busy advocat-

such as seldom been rendered to the
memory of an attorney in this state,
was paid this morning to the late ex-
Congressman II. c. Smith whose re-
mains were, yesterday, laid to rest in
lakewood cemetery.
The circuit court was adjourned to-
day and In the chamber where the
deceased attorneys voice had been
heard little more than a week ago in
his last big legal battle, the members
of the Lenawee bar gathered to pay
their last tribute.
Practically every attorney in the
county was present and each one rose
during the meeting to eulogize his
memory. Former opponents in the
legal profession and even in the poll
tical world broke down and were IN
able to complete their tributes.
Messages OF coincidence from all
parts of the country continue to pour
in at the family home, where the
young widow is still in a serious con
dition.
She was thought out of danger Sat
urday, but late in the evening was
again worse. causing a change in ar
rangements for the funeral.
Services were held at the Episcopal

IS JAILED
ON CHARGE OF PERJURY
Rudolph Kirchner's Testimony
in Damage Suit Lands Him
Behind Bars.

Because of the testimony by him
In mis- suit against the EMF. Co.,
In Judge Murphy's court, Rudolph
Kirchner Is now lodged in the Wayne
county jail. with a charge of per-
jury registered against him. Bail
was fixed at $1,000.
Kirchner brought suit for $1,000,
claiming that he sustained a broken
arm and other injuries while employ
ed by the EMF Co, and charged
that the company was negligent in
not giving him a safe place in which
to work. IL was the claim of the COM
pany that Kirchner received his most
serious injuries while employed by
the Packard company, several months
after he quit the defendants COM
pany. The plaintiff swore that he had
never been employed in the Packard
plant, and repeatedly declared that 1t
was while working for the defendant
that he was hurt.
Several officers of the Packard COM
pany testified that Kirchner had been
employed in the factory, and while
working there fell from ladder and
broke his, arm.
Judge Murphy at once s.Ia.rvu rne
case and ordered Kirchner's arrest.
He also ordered a transcript of the
testimony in the case, for the use OF
the prosecutor In pushing the perjury
charges.
Charges of perjury were also freely
limited AT -ff-the- of Gasfmter

in Judge Hosmer's court Olesik was

Der, 1909, until the following October.

Lambert Manufacturing Co., both of
whom showed by records that Olesilx
had worked for them steadily from
June to August, during the time he
said he was laid up Judge Hosmer

TREND OF THE DRAMA
DISTINCTLY UPWARD
REV. L.. II. SHIPPEN

In sepakiUg of The church and the
theater," Sunday morning, In the First
Unitarian church, the Rev. Eugene
Rodman Shipper, said in part:
The temple and the theater, the
altar and the stage, the priest and
the actor were once one. The drama
is the child OF religion, and among
the Greeks was the means of illus
trating the mysteries of fate and the
DEGREES of the gods. The history or
the modern drama is the story of its
gradual separation from religious In
fuences, leaving the sanctuary and
finally becoming wholly secularized.
To-day no cultivated person OBJ
jects to the stage as such or enter
tains any prejudice against the actors
profession. Yet there is much in the
present-day drama to condemn, much
to grieve the true lover OF the stage.
William Winter, dean of dramatic
critics, is wholly discouraged over the
insipd, vulgar and salacious plays
offered to the public. He thinks the
drama is at low cob owing to it's
commercialization.
while there Is truth I'm this, IL Is
not the whole truth The trend or
the drama Ia distinctly upward. Such
plays as The Servant in the House.
The Passing OF the Third Floor
Back and The Piper not to mention
many others of high moral tone.

more persuasiyeness and power than
