TO ELECT SENATORS BY PoPU-
LAR VOTE

The joint resolution providing for
the election Of United States Senators
has passed both houses of congress and
viii now go to the states for ratifea-
tion.
Direct election of Senators first was
taken up by congress in 1926. From
time to time attempts have been made
to make the Senate a popular body,
and have its members elected as are
the members of the house. Some of
these resolutions have died in commit
tee, while others were passed at the
last moment of a congress, never to re-
ceive the president s signature.
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, intro
dueed in 1911 the one that has just
passed. Amended by the house, it has
been in conference since July 5, last
year, and if the house had not receded
from its opposition to granting FEEDER
al control of Senatorial elections it
might have met the fate of the Others.

demand should be granted.
Brownsville merchants should see
that this is done. Good roads lead
ing from the farm to the town un-
doubtedly are one of the best town
builders, as we'll as one of the best
country developers.
Let us urge the county commits
sioners to build the good roads. The
local Merchants Association might
very appropriately undertake this
matter. A strong resolution, urging
the construction Of good county
roads adopted by the Merchants AS
ISOLATION, to be presented TO the
county commissioners would have
its effect. And one good result
would be to bring the farmer and
the merchant closer together, to
their mutual benefit. Let the town
help the farmers and the farmers
will help the town.

BURIAL OF A BAND HERO.

Wallace Hartley, the leader of the
Titanic's band, which played Near
er, my God, to Thee" as the ship
sank, was brought home to Colne
Lancashire. Here on the side of the
beautiful valley they buried the
body, which was found days after
floating in the sea. The burying
was worthy of the death he died.
1t was as a hero that he was borne
shoulder high, with bands of music,
through streets massed thick with
people. 1t was as a hero that he was
lowered into the last earthly place
with trumpets sounding over him
The last post" and the hillside
across the river answered.
OF the homecoming itself few saw
much. In the deark, early morning
hours a closed vehicle grimly suited
to the night toiled slowly up the
twisting hillside of northeast Lam
cashire after making the long jour
ney by road from Liverpool. Watch
full policemen saw it and shone their
lanterns upon it. But a word with
the driver and they sood al atten-
ton and touched their helmets.
The vehicle put down its burden
at a little chapel low down in the
hillside township of Colne. Here as
"a boy Wallace Hartley had suns in
the choir. Here his father. his
mother, and sisters had worshipped.
Here they came together to take
their last look at him.
The church was filled with peo-
pie. Old school fellows Of Wallace
Hartley's relatives, friends filled
every seat. Overhead alongside the
organ and helping its music were
observation-disclosures. 'eellists and
the rest Of the Colne orchestra. com
rades with whom he had once play
ed, the ablest violinist OF them all,
it is said. Near them was the choir
of men and girls. mill girls, many
of them, and each dressed in comedy
whipe and black. Their sweet voices

THE BENEFICIENT ASPECT OF
NEW JERSEY.

New Jersey has done a good many
things for the country, some Of them
good and some of them bad. She
furnished the original charter for
Standard Oil, but Of late, however,
she seems disposed to make amends
for many past shortcomings. She
has a governor who will make a fine
president Of the United States-if
he car only secure the democratic
nomination at Baltimore.
And she has created the office OF
commissioner of mosquitoes. Not a
MOSQUITO warden, you understand,
Init a mosquito commissioner whose
business is to put the mosquito out
Of commission. The good old state
also elbows herself" for a liberal APP
nroprjation to make the office eff
f~ective.

NEW SOLAR THEORIES.

Brownsville welcomes all reput-
liable corners especially those who
come in the interest of religion,
health or science. We shall be glad
To see ItAA gentleman from Kansas
who is coming here to take observa-
tions of the sun to prove that its
distance from the earth is greatly
exaggerated.
Still, The Herald may perhaps be
allowed to suggest that Brownsville
is not the best place in Texas to
prove that the sun is only thirty
five hundred miles away. AT Dallas,
Waco, and some points in the pam
handle, there are days when the
proof Of that proposition does not
at all depend on scientific measure
ments, but is self-evident.
At Brownsville, however, the gulf
breezes blow sweetly and refreshing
ly all summer long, SO that many of
us are disposed to hold on to the
old. conservative, traditional ninety
million mile theory. We may, OF
course be mistaken, but there is
nothing in our past experiences to
suggest 1t.

TEz SILVER CORD.

In China whe ma mandarin
Or some official high,
D%ispleased the dragon grim and old.
And so was doomed to die,
A little gold and lacquer box
Was sent the luckless lord,
And in it lay the sign Of death,
A slender silver cord.
But times have changed across the
sea
Since Freedoms breezy air
Blew in at China's open door,
And left its sweetness there,
And fleeing to his darksome cave
Before the naked sword,
Behold, the dragon in his turn
Receives the silken cord.

FRIDAY, JUNE 81, 1912.
WEAKENING?

The republican convention adj
1ourned until this morning at eleven
O'Clock to give the credential COM
mittee time to report. Which nat
urally sets us to guessing. A very
plausible guess is that the commit
tee is weakening3 that the spectacu-
lar bluff of the Roosevelt men yes
terday morning is bearing the kind
of fruit it was inteded to produce.
When the Colonel's friends set up
their 'To-your-tents-O-Israel' spiel,
the progressiyes believed that the
committee had already made up its
mind as to- the permanent roll of
the convention. Hence the exodus OF
the Roosevelt delegates from the
committee Dol The delay surely
means some concessions to the Col
onel's following.
What else it means no man can
say except the men who are prepar-
ing today's program. 1t may mean
a dark horse it may mean some
other compromise; it probably does
not mean the turning Of the conven-
tion over to the Roosevelt faction.

COMMISSIONER OF MOSQUITOES.

COMMISSIONER OF MOSQUITOES.
A public Office heretofore I'M
known to civil government text
books, and one created distinctly
with a view to administration as a
public trust, is that of mosquito
commissioner, a New Jersey insti-
tuition. Its duties are those of a
game and fish commissioner re
yersed. The incumbent naturally is
not expected to propagate and pro-
tect, but to destroy.
Mosquito determination by cities,
with such help as a state bureau
backed by a $4,000 annual appro-
priation could give, has been attend
ed by only partial relief in New
Jersey. For the first time anywhere
in the union, statewide effort 10 pro-
vided for under a new law. Mos
quito commissioners must be APP
pointed in every county. A gener-
Gus anti-mosquito tax is made man
datory, like the tax for health
boards.
The rest Of the country learns the
a~meliorative methods suited to its
various troubles from the states in
which specific troubles appear in
most virulent form. New Jersey
teaches us that the mosquito every
where must be put in the same class
with the brown-tail moth in New
England, the boil weeyil in the cot
ton states. the San Jose scale insect
in the orchard states, and must be
dealt with in general legislation

only by music and fi%lterings light and

this simple, childlike tune, Nearer,
My God, to Thee"
The street outside the chapel was
thronged with people. A mile and
a half up the hill the cemetery lies
away from the chapel, but not a spot
on the roadside was vacant. Where
the railway crosses the road people
had climbed the steep banks and
covered them. The wall of the rail-
way bridge was fringed with heads.
There were men, women and chill
dren from miles around. The trains
and tramway cars had poured folk
into Colne. Most Of them wore
black, but many were in working
clothes, straight from the mills
women waavers in their drab shawls,
men in their blue and brown over
alls, miners with faces black.
The funeral cortege was half a
mile long. Aldermen, councillors,
ambulance men, police, boys bri-
gades and others had a place. There
were seven bands, and there might
have been fifty-seven, for almost
every band of Lancashire and York

All right, let Judge Parker go on
and be president of the Baltimore
convention. They say he is conser-
v%ative, but there are worse sins, at
convention. time, than conser-
vatism. The progressive idea Of run
ming a convention, as lately exhibit
ed TO us mahes US long for a brief
period Of good, old-fashioned, easy
going conservatism. Let us be as
progressive as may be after the NOM

that we do not stop to think. When
