ACT FOR THE PUBLIC

If the house realizes exactly the capacity in
which it is considering the acceptance of Alma
hau, there can be but one action for it to take,
and that action is to receive the splendid gift of
the late ex-Goy. Cleghorn and secure for the peo-
pie magnificent park.
The house represents, or should represent, the
people, the public. 1t is bounden to carry out
the demands of the public. 1t is not within the
province of the house to represent private bene-
ficiaries. The demands of the public are over
wheImingly that the park should be accepted.
Some objection is made to the acceptance of
the gift on the ground that it would entail a
very large sum for Improvement. That need not
be an objection The improvement of the park
may be somewhat postponed and provision now
made only for adequate maintenance. As one

MAY he RECONSIDER !!

Senator Judd's services to the. public in his
capacity as a member of the upper house have
been and are such that very general regret will
be felt at his determination not to stand for an
other election. sFs@
The Star Bulletin doesn't believe in waiting
until a man is dead before speaking good of him,
and though the senator's actual retirement from
public life is still some distance off, it is emf
nently proper to draw attention to his work.
The judiciary committee, of which he is chair
man. is the hardest worked committee of the
present senate session, and Judd is declared by
his colleagues to be the Understanding mem
bef Mr.. Judd not only handles his committee
work in admirable and effective fashion, but he
is student of legislation and of the needs of the
people. His two local improvement bills are
quite likely to class in the future as the most
farsighted, constructive laws of the 1913 SEES
sion. He is unsparing of physical or mental
labor in the discharge of his duties, and the very
fact that he finds it necessary to leave public
office in order to carry out his duty to his fam
lily and his profession, is evidence of the zeal
with which he has thrown himself into senatorial
tasks.

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS

Two amendments to the United States con
stitution within few weeks may well be re-
garded as remarkable evidence of the changing
times. 1t used to be said that federal cOnstitu
tional amendments were harder to secure than
a modification of the laws of the Modes and Per
slams, but it is so no longer A short time ago
the federal income tax amendment was adopted
and on Tuesday came the news that the constitu-
tiOnal amendment providing for direct election
of United States senator's had received the req
uiste three-fourths vote in the forty-eght states
of the union. H.
Agitation for direct election of United States
senators was begun twenty years ago, the house
in 1892 adopting the text of an amendment pro-
posed by Representative Tucker For many ses-
stems the plan could never get senatorial APP
proyal, largely because the stand-patters in the
upper house we're afraid to trust their destinies
to the people. They relied upon being able to
swing state legislatures. In fact, it was largely
the notorious corruption of legislatures by the
bribing henchmen of senatorial candidates that
hastened the ratification of the amendment after
it had passed congress two years ago and was
submitted to the several states
The amendment as it finally passed the senate
reads as follows: %-.@
That in lieu of the first paragraph of section of
article of the constitution the United States
liz lieu of much of paragraph 2 of the
ton relates to the filling of vacancies, the Follow
ing be proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton, which shall be valid all intents and purposes
the part of the constitution when ratified by the
legislatures of threefourths of the states
The senate of the United States shall be composed
of two senators from each state elected by the peo
pie thereof, for six years; and each senator shall
have vote. The electors in each state shall have
the qualification requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch of the state legislatures.
When vacancies happen in the representation of
any state in the senate, the executive authority of
such state shall issue of writs of election to fill such
vacancies provided, that the legislature of any state
may empower the executive thereof to make tenn
porary appointments until the people fill the yacan
cies by election the legislature may direct
