on the passage of the amendment and

| the whole amendment, that is, tn
amendment providing for the election
of senators by the direct vote of thu
people. The rejection of the Bristov
amendment meant the defeat of thu
proposition to elect senators by tn,
people.
Why should Mr.. underwood be sin
gled out for attack by the Wilson pa
pers? He was instructed to vote FOX
the amendment just as it stood beforI
the House. This instruction was given
by the state Democratic convention of
Alabama. That state didn't view the
Bristow amendment with apprehen-
sion and Mr.. Underwood has said that
he didn't regard it as threatening
danger to the South. He voted his
convictions and at the same time abey-
ed the instructions of his state-his
state being strongly in favor of the
election of senators by direct vote.
There doesn't seem to be any par
ticular reason for danger from the
Bristow amendment in this state. The
negro vote is limited by the state laws
and the amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of senators
by the people doesn't change them.
After the ratification of that amend
ment the federal constitution will CON
tain, as it does now, the following:
THE electors in each state shall
have the same qualifications requisite
for electors of the most numerous
Lranch of the state Legislature"
If the Wilson papers are really sin
cere in their opposition to the amend
ment for the election of senators by
direct vote, as amended by Senator
Bristow, we assume that they will OPP
pose its ratification by this state when
it comes before the Legislature.
AS there were only thirty-nine votes
in the House against the amendment,
as reported in the dispatches, there
must have been a good many Southern
congressman who really wanted it TO
pass, but who didn't want to go on
record for it. The South would prefer
the amendment providing for the cleo
ton of senators by direct vote as 1t
originally passed the House-that is
without the Bristow amendment, but
it is clear that she couldn't have it
that way-at least not at this time.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-05-24

called attention to the fact that 1t
didn't have the approval of some OF
the Southern congressman, giving the
reason why they didn't approve it. The
Wilson papers do not appear to have
thought there was anything objection
able in the amendment until their
attention was called to the fact that
Mr.. Underwood had voted for it.
The Morning News had number of
articles on the Bristow amendment
last June when it was before the Sem
ate, but we do not remember that the
Wilson papers opposed it in double
column, double loaded articles.
But what is the Bristow amendment?
1t doesn't introduce anthing new into
the constitution. 1t simply provides
for retaining what is there now. The
amendment providing for the election
of senators by the people as it passed
the House was as follows:
The Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected by the people
thereof, for six years; and each SEN
ator shall have one vote. The electors
in each state shall have the qualifca-
lions requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch Of the state legisla-
lures.
The time, places and manner oil
holding elections for senators shall be
as prescribed in each state by the leg
islature thereof.
When the foregoing came before the
Senate, Senator Bristow moved to
amend it by inserting but Congress
may at any time by law make or alter
such regulations, etc These quoted
words are now a part of the constitu-
ton and have always been. They are
called the Bristow amendment because
they were left out of the amendment
providing for the election of senators
that were originally passed by the
House.
When the Bristow amendment was
before the Senate, Senator Clark Of
Arkansas voted for it in order to save

'NON-FLESH EATERS NOT
"MOLLYCODDLES."

Persons who are weak in
body and mind often become
veaetarians in the hope of gain
ing strength, but the fact that
many persons who eat no flesh
are deficient in energy and ag-
eressiVeness does not warrant
the insinuation with which DR..
Wiley has been credited in the
newspapers, that the non-flesh
eater is "mo!lycoddIe." If this
is true of many who discontinue
the use of flesh as food, there
is at least one exception in the
Mexican revolutionary leader,
Madero, and the writer thinks
he knows another. Many per-
sons, probably, would change
their diet and other habits if
they had the courage needed.

the intentions Of this government to

that the American warships may be

the protection Of property. Another
evidence that the situation is regarded
as favorable Is the announcement that

OF humanity against the conduct of the

Ramon de las Yaguas, a suburb of El

Santiago the government troops burned
houses belonging to negroes who were
totally unconcerned in the revolution. At
the Same place they killed a father and
his two children. both under ten, and NAL
treated number of young girls.

to send representative to the scene Of
military operations. when he will give
abundant proof of the truth Of his
charges against the government troops
Will Not Reach Understanding.
Gen. Estenoz says that under no ctr
cumstances will he come to any under
standing whatever with the present Cuban
government. he has no faith in it. He
continues that Gen. Monteaguedo, the
commander-in-chief of the government
troops. intends to order few of his men

that the revolutionists will never lay
down their arms until they have accom-
plished the object for which they took
them up, and which Is the recognition
of the independent party of Colon. He
says the United States government was
the first to recognize the party during
