EFFECT OF 4 BLUNDER,

FROM t4.f MpINItlltI JOurndl.D
Now II turns out the amendment to the
federal constitution providing for the
election Of United States senators by
popuIar vote which everybody believed
had been ratified by action of the Leg
islatures OF the necessary number of
states ana therefore had become a part
Of the fundamental law has not as a
matter of fact become effective. and all
through hunder OF the Legislature of
Wisconsin,
Wisconsin vas one of the 81 States the
votes OF whose Legislatures were thought
to have made the amendment effective
but there WAS a mistake there that made
the vote of that States Legislature of no
effect, leaving only So States giving APP
proval to the amendment proposition.
The intention of the Legislature of Wis
consln was honest enough and 1t ratified
a resolution reported by its committee
but unfortunately this was not the reso-
luton submitted by Congress In some
way the right one got into the waste bas-
lSet and the wrong one was given ap-
prevail
As result the popular election of Uni
ted states senators Is held up temporarily
at least. The delay might have a serious
aspect were ii not for the fact that the
Wisconsin legislature is still in session
and has already taken steps to remedy
the blunder it unwittingly committed
Not many days will elapse before the
proper amendment resolution will be
given formal ratification and then cleo
lion of senator's by the people will be
the law of the land

scatter the poisoned bran over the
surface Of the ground so that small
chunks half as big as a walnut OF

Poultry must be kept away from

the bits Of bran usually disappear suf-
ACiently so that there is little danger
Of poisoning poultry.
Often cutwOrms cause excessive
damage by cutting of newly set to
matO plants or cabbage plants that
have just been transplanted from seed
boxes. Such plants may be rather
easily protected by wrapping a small
square or strip Of paper around the
stem when setting them out, so that
the stem near the ground will be pro-
tected by a cylinder or collar Of pa
per. This paper protector should ex-
tend into the ground half an inch and

soft paper is used the collar should
make two or three turns around the

DENIED BY SPANIARDS


WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Senor Riano.
the Spanish ambassador. acting under
Instructions from Madrid, formally de-
MED to the state department today.
that Spanish subjects in Mexico aided
the Huerta cause, as c0ntended by Gen.
eral Villa, who defended his action IN
confiscating Spanish property by charg-
ing the Spanish residents in Chihuahua
had violated the neutrality laws. The
following statement was made public
by Acting Secretary Moore:
Reports received at the department
Of state, through tho Spanish embassy.
deny the Spaniards In Mexico have TAX
en- part in politics there and affirm that
they have always observed the strict
est neutrality in the affairs of Mexico.
The department issued this summary
Of late reports from Chihuahua:
THE confiscation OF Spanish property
in Chihuahua IL confirmed by state de-
partment advices. General Villa is said
to claim that the expulsion Of the Span
iards saved their lives. as they were In
danger of massacre by the populace.
Participation In political affairs IL
also charged, but those persons who
could prove themselves guiltless of par
ticipation would be permitted to return
and will be given indemnity for their
losses.''
Further reports from Chihuahua
say General villa denies ordering the
detention of women and children refu-
gees. They are said to be free to leave
at will
