THE HOUSEHOLD
HOUSEKEEPING A BUSINESS.
When II is So Considered Unhappy
Marriages Will Be Fewer.

When the housekeeper Is regarded as
a business woman and housekeeping Is
considered as a business we shall have
fewer unhappy marriages and more
successfully managed homes, but II
viii mean change of thought and me-
thod on the part Of both men and wo-
men in some homes. one great cause
of domestic unrest is that many men
consider a woman's work In the home
as quite inconsequential. and some
women look upon domestic duties as
mental work which they would gladly
shift To other shoulders no matter how
badly they might be done. Tho sue
cessful homemakcr must possess quite
remarkable ability She must have the
wisdom of Solomon; the patience of
job the sense of humor of a Bill Nye
and Mark Twain combined; a finan-
cial keenness greater than that Of
John ID. Rockefeller: for she must Of
ten do without money; she must have
the temper of an angel and the hide of
a rhinoceros. mentally speaking; she
must wear the continuous smile of
Mona Lisa: she must have the mental
pose of a supreme judge, for she has To
be both judge and jury I'm all family
difficulties. These are only few of
the attributes OF the homepaker who

the country YOU may add few more
qualifications such as gardener poult-
ny raiser. dairy woman and few other
things.
Do you see the juggler in the vaude-
vile show who throws half a dozen
plates into the air and keeps them all
spinning at the same time? The au

pared with the task of the housekeeper
who has four things stewing on top of
the stove, the bread rising behind it,
three things baking in the oven while
she is sweeping the flour helping Susie
with her arithmetic lesson and singing
the baby to sleep all at one and the
same time. The juggler draws from

A cotton picking machine has at last
been perfected which it is believed will
do as much to revolutionize the cotton
business as the invention of Whitney's
cotton gin did. All these years it has
been firmly believed that nothing but
human hands could harvest the cotton
crop. Consequently at the cotton pick
ing season great numbers Of extra
hands have been hired, many Of them
undesirable. An energetic field hand
can pick $50 pounds in a day. The
new machine can do as much in half
an hour. 1t no doubt will, in time,
replace many negroes in the cotton
fields, and. during the harvest season
at least, the negro question may be-
come a more serious one in the great
cotton districts.

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The proposed constitutional amend
ment authorizing the election of Unit
ed States senators by popular vote is
an answer TO a popular demand. The
country has moved toward this, has
in fact already practically put the pro-
posed system into effect in many
states. and there seems little reason
why there should be any constitution
al obstacle,
The construction Of the United States
prescribes that senators shall be elect
ed by the state legislatures. This meth
Cd. which worked satisfactorily at
first. has proved unsatisfying in many
states. There has been a general move
ment in the country toward more di-
rect nominations, as witness the pri-
mary and other laws of various states,
and this has reached the United States
senatorshlp among the first offices. AL
ready the spirit of the constitution in
this particular has been violated. our
own primary law practically takes
away from the Legislature the right of
election, for it gives a popular ex-
preston on the candidates which it is
recognized the legislature will follow.
It was the aim of the trainers Of
the constitution to create in the senate
a conservative body, which should act
as a check on the radicalism of the
house. To this end il was provided that
it should be elected not by the people
but by the state legislatures and the
term of office was placed at six years,
but one-thrd of the members shifting
at time. In this way each election
always leaves a majority of the old
senators in office
The provision governing the term
of office and the time of change will
still continue under the proposed
amendment and will still assure that
the senate will be more conservative
than the house.
Already several states, among them
Michigan, are violating the spirit of
the constitution, and are practically
although not nominally, electing their
senators by popular vote. Under the
circumstances it seems that congress
must take some recognition of this
fact. a constitutional amendment
such as is proposed would still leave
it possible for the state to elect by
the old method il so desired but it
would at the same time recognize the
direct election of senator. The sue
cess that has attended the direct NOM
ination laws in various states justi-
fes support for such an amendment.
