The winds sweet tenor in the

With songs of larks. low lingering

J. And low skies bending over love

But still the thought: Somewhere.

Or where the wales ring with the

The sentiment for election of United
States senators by direct vote is over
whelming, the demand coming from
every part of the union. But many
an ardent advocate of the reform are
unwilling to secure it at the cost Of
surrendering the rights of the states
to control their own elections. In the
house 237 votes were cast for the Bris-
tow resolution which reserves to cor
gress the power to control the time,
places and manner of holding cleo
tors; but among the 80 who voted
"No" were representatives from Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
and Arkansas.
Unless given assurance that no at
tempt will be made to interfere with
their elections, the Southern states
may refuse to ratify the proposed
amendment. The threat of federal in
| reference might be invoked at any
time by a partisan congress or held
as club over the South by despotic
president. The Force bill" has not
been forgotten.
Mr.. Underwood, the majority leader
does not share the fear of his col
legues, and the adoption of the Bris
( tow resolution was due largely to con-
fidence in his judgment There is nc
present probability of the exercise o.
this new power by congress, but it is
a possibility. In most Southern states
senators are now chosen at primar,
elections, and are, in effect, elected
by popular vote. They were pioneers
in direct choice, but they object tt
