DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS.

With only three more states needed
for ratification of the constitutional
amendment, the possibilities that the
Senators from Illnois-if that deadlock
is ever broken-will be the last to be
elected by Legislature begins to take
on the aspect Of a probability. If Penn
sylvania and Connecticut ratify, only
one more State will be needed, accord
ing to Senator Bristow' $ count: andione
house of each of these Legislatures al
ready las voted for ratification. Ten
nessee or Florida would turn the trlck.
But three have rejected the amend
ment, evidence of the slight opposition.
There remains not the slightest doubt
that it will be ratified. The only ques-
ton is whether the new system will be
put into effect in time to apply to the
Senatorial contests now in progress.
Thirty Senators are to be elected within
the next twelve months, andthe method
of election may have a good deal to do
with the personnel.
A number of interesting and impor-
tant questions are presented in this con-
nection:
Will the old Senatorial primary laws.
based on ratification by majority of
the Legislature, hold good when cleo
ton is not by the Legislature, but by
direct popular vote?
Identification comes before November,
will the Legislatures have to be called
in special session to provide for the Sen
atorial election?
What part of the present election and
primary laws, if any, viii be annulled
by the new constitutional provision?
What is the use of selecting members
of the Legislature with regard to their
support of one candidate or another if
they are not to elect the Senator?
And these are only few of the ques-
tons raised.
Probability that the amendment will
be ratified and the change put into effect
before the meeting of assemblies next
January makes study and discussion re-
latng to the new method more than
: timely.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial Corr. OF TnH RErrHL1cAN.


Washington, D. c., March q, 1913.
The Democrats are planning for the
1916 line up. The National Committee
will reorganize at meeting in Wash
ington. probably April 9th.
Democratic Floor Leader Underwood
has had series of conferences with
President Wilson on the proposed tariff
BILL but that he is strongly in favor of
putting food stuffs and necessaries on
the free list.
In their conferences the President
and Mr.. Underwood took up the ques-
ton of income tax, but no definite de-
cision will be reached until it is known
with some certainty bow much revenue
the new tariff will yield. One group in
Congress insists on a graduated tax of
one-half percent. on incomes less than
$4,000 year, and running up to four or
five percent. on incomes of 500, 900.
Others want fiat tax on all incomes
over four or five thousand, and a few
would even include incomes as low as
one thousand dollars.
Vice President Marshall thinks the
Presidents decision to withdraw the
official support of this government from
Chinese loan proposition formulated
under the last administration, in con-
junction with five European powers, is
one of the most significant policies so
early announced by the present admins
tration, 81 never could get myself into
the frame of mind, said the Vice Pres
ident, to believe that the government
was organized to promote any particular
line of business for any particular set
of men. There is no question that the
government has been the promoter of
business; big business has resulted and
enormous fortunes have been anassed. f"
Replying to business man who said
that capital is scared and is waiting to
see what Congress is going to do, Mr.
Marshall declared that capital that
wants government assistance is not

FICKLENESS AND FURY OF MARCH

March has more than sustained its
reputation this year as a month in which
anything is liable to occur in the way of
weather changes. We have had our
experiences with it in the past and we
ought to be thankful that this season
the fierce and tickle month has done US
but little damage. But even at its
worst 1t has never inflicted in this sec
ton the widespread ruin which its fury
has left behind in the South and West
this year Nature seems to have a soft
spot in her heart for Maryland, and even
when she is most wrathful we escape
with lighter punishment than many
other parts of the country. Such ter
rifving and destructive outbursts as
that which has just carried death and
havoc to many Western communities
are unknown here. We may well shud-
der as we read the reports of the awful
power and devastating effects of such
storms as these, and pray that our long
immunity may never be disturbed by
similar calamities.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-04-03

much good to the country, and that the
prosperity of this country is on too solid
basis to be easily scared.
Those who have long been studying
the American banking facilities abroad
believe that the President attitude in
the Chinese loan matter means that he
will recommend change in the banking
laws authorizing the establishment of
branches of American banks in foreign
countries.
Statistical experts figure that one man
in every forty-seven who voted for Will
son is now out for a federal position.
If this be true there are more than $780,
600 applicants for the 1000 places to be
filled, and there will necessarily be $780,
900 disappointed ones.
On the other hand the President is
embarrassed by the declining of eminent
men who have been offered foreign
diplomatic posts. AS the destinations
are due to the expense of maintaining
the embassies, which must be borne by
the ambassadors out of their own
pockets, and very far exceed the salaries
paid, the President has issued a state
ment suggesting that the government
itself foot the bills.
A recent publication of the fact that
the wives of cabinet officers will
abandon the custom of receiving, and
making calls, is causing favorable com
ment among society folks.
The ladies of President Cleveland S
cabinet abolished personal calling, and
they were quite as popular as any set
we have had. Some declare that formal
calling means nothing at all, and that
everybody is bored by it. Many women
regard the new Congressional Club,
where the wives and daughters of
official Washington may meet and really
learn to know each other, as an admir-
able substitute for the custom of making
personal calls.
Egg rolling on the White House
grounds is the great Easter event for
the children of the Capital Last Mon
day the President, members of his
family and guests, for several hours,
watched hundreds of gaily clad children
of all nationaLties, with their mothers
or big sisters, run riot of JOY as they
rolled thousands of gay colored eggs

evil spirits, affecting, debaslng and tor
turing. The same is true of the Old
Testament, where demons appear under
the name of familiar spirits and devils;
and Gods adherence to them is shown
in His command "a man also, or woman
that hath a familiar spirit or is wiz
ard. shall surely be put to death" Lev.
20:27.
The testimony of Sir Monier Williams
as to the deep-seated and widespread
conviction that the people are still sub
ject to demon-possession is interesting.
He says 1.-The great majority of the in
habitants of India are, from the cradle
to the burying ground, victims of a
form of mental disease which is best
expressed bv the term demonphobia.
They are haunted and oppressed by
perpetual dread of demons. They are
firmly convinced that evil spirits of all
kinds, from malignant fiends to merely
mischievous imps and elves. are ever
on the watch to harm, harass and tor
ment them; to cause plague, sickness,
famine and disaster; to impede, injure,
and mar every good work" But it is
said that may be true of heathemsm,
but is not of Christian countries. Look
around us, study some of the phenomena
we see. How account for them? Only,
satisfactorily. on the ground that our
land almost swarms with demons. Look
at the atrocious crimes, that are in
creasing more and more, and that can
only properly be called devilish. Scoun-
drels are spoken of as ''paranoiacs, .
which is nothing more or less than a
convenient ruse to escape responsibility,
and vet for the fee that is in it, some
who are regarded as the custodians of
the law will do their utmost to thwart
Justice. and clear the rascals who de-
serve to be executed, or dealt with ac-
cording to the direction of the word of
God. The evidence of the work of
demons is everywhere apparent. The
world is full of evil spirits. Satan will
transform himself into an angel of light,
to deceive the very elect. He is power
full, cunning, intelligent, but he and his
host are ever. bent on one thing, viz:
to thwart Gods plans and destroy man
kind. 1t behoves US to shun his seduc-
tons and walk with Christ, before whom
. demons flee. and by whose divine power
Satan shall vet be bound and cast into
the pit. May the day speedily come
when the world shall be delivered from
his dominion, and righteousness and
peace prevail. HAM.
