DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The House yesterday afternoon
adopted, 237 to 80, the joint resolution
providing for an amendment to the
constitution to permit the election OF
united States senators by direct vote
of the people. 1t already had passed
the Senate and now goes to the states
Tor ratification.
Thus is won a great victory for re-
form. Although the proposed amend
ment must be ratified by the legisla-
lures of three -fourths of the states its
endorsement is practically assured as
there is a nationwide demand for this
legislation. A number Of the states,
including Michigan. now have an adj
isory vote on the choice Of senatorial
candidates. The amendment pro-
posed, however, will bring the election
of senators even closer to the people
and remove all uncertainty. The fight
for this reform has been waged since
1926. the Senate itself having been the
stumbling block. But times have
changed. The Senate is more repre-
sentative Of the people and the time is
not far off when it will be even more
responsive to their wishes.

will be reduced from % TO Z. The
waterway will be widened from $50 to

LONGEST LIFE LEGEND.
Educ stors Reduce Mcthussleh's Thou
sand Years 20 But Eiqhty.

Educators Reduce Mcthussleh's Thou
sand Years 10 But Eighty.
one Of the greatest puzzles in the
Bible is the great age TO which Me-
thusaleh is reported to have lived,
nine hundred and sixty -nine years.
Many have tIied to explain the figures
away. bait modern scholarship has lit
tie patience with those rather childish
attempts to make the imp possible pos
sible. The earliest off, these explana-
tions was that the Years then were
what we call montiSrbut this would be
manifestly absurd. for it IS stated that
Methusalelfs' Oldest son. bamech. was
one hundred and eighty-seven. years
old. on ABBOTT fifteen. years old, accord
ing to our reckonihg-not impossible,
but according TO the Samaritan ver-
sion Methusaleh was sixty seven years
old at this time, which would make
him a father at the tender age Of FIVE
o our years. srs.n .srt
The fact too, that Mcthusalehs
great age is especially cited IL against
this theory of each year being only a
month, for ne would have been but
eighty years old at his.doath. according
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1912-05-14

to our recl0onlng>-and this is not at
all remarkable.
Any one looking over the list OF The
heads Of the first ten genera tions Of
men will notice that Methusalh's is not
greatly II, excess of several others.
adam died aged nine hundred and
thirty, Seth mine hundred and twelve,
Enoch nine hundred and five. keenan,
nine hundred and ten. Mahalalel eight
hundred and ninety five. Jared nine
hundred and slxty-two (only seven
years less than Methusaleh). Enoch
three hundred and sixty Ave. Methu
saleh nine hundred and sixty mine La
mech seven hundred and seventy seven
and Noah nine hundred and fifty. only
seventeen years younger than Methu-
saleh.
The real explanation nov approved
by most Bible scholars is based upon
the knowledge that the Babylonians
gave their early ancestors thousands
uf years OF life. Written records We're
not kept Of the early heroes and dis
tinguished men of the Babylonians aud
II became the custom to attribute re-
markabic deeds and remarkable length
az life to these personages. That is
how IL comes about that the state
ment is found in the Bible. There were
giants in those day''-an exaggerated
and legendary assertion.
Now the fact IL that Abraham. the
first Hebrew, came from BabSlonian.
and he brought with him very natur-
ally many Of the traditions of that
land. lie was accustomed to hear
stories OF the early ans estors of the
Babylonians. who had performed mar
vellous deeds and lived TO amazing
ages.
Thus il is commonly agreed among
modern Bible students that the great
age assigned To Methusaleh is legen-
dairy. 1t is not literally believed that
Methusaleh. or any other man Of the
old Testament. lived To an age of near
~ = Thousand years
a frank admission that these are
have no real historical value will not
affect the trustworthiness on the Bible
nearly SO much as childish explana-
tions which do not explain Had Me-
thusaleh really lived niEe hundred and
sixty years, this would have meant
that he died the very year Of the De-
luge-and had he been alive a: that
time II would certainly have been men
toned.
