the legislature does not make prop
er provision for the department of
highways, so it can save the tax
payer thousands of dollars each
year and inaugurate a proper system
whereby taxpayers can get adequate
return for his money. Col Suggs will
make a direct and personal appeal
to the people for support and will
continue to be a thorn in the side
of these tin bridge men, and by
sheer force of his personality he will
educate the people up to his ideas
of permanent construction and rid
the state of this octopus whose chief
aim is to sell to the various coun-
ties and townships inferior cheap
alleged steel and corrugated bridges
and culverts for which they get an
immense profit after allowing even
as high as thirty and forty per cent
commissions for the salesman.
Col Suggs is urging competent
inspection of all such construction
where none now exists. He is urg~
ing that every township has some
body on whom to call for expert help
when it comes to difficult drainage
and construction problems. Col.
Suggs is advocating an engineer in
every county who shall make such
plans as might be necessary, and he
is also advocating the adoption OF
state standard plans which embrace
every factor of safety and value
for money expended
The tin bridge outfit object to Col.
Suggs' ideas and really we are con-
strained to say that we can hardly
blame them but at the same time the
senate of Oklahoma can hardly be
expected to stand for a continuance
of methods which according to the
state examiner and inspector, allow
ed one bridge concern to have
monopoly on bridge construction in
ONE COUNTY to the extent of more
than FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS. The senate has already
spoken and is "UNCONVERTIBLE." 3"

Vast Cave Found IN Utah.

Ogden, Titan, April With what
appears to be prehistoric hierogly-
phics carved on its wall, a mammoth
cave, riyaling the famous cave in
Kentucky, has been discovered.
Thomas Whitaker, a rancher, made
the discovery. He will head a party
of University of Utah professors on
a tour of investigation.
The cave is located in the noun
tains near Promontory Point, fifteen
miles from Ogden, and has probably
never been visited by white men as
the surrounding country is a bleak
desert
Tie front chamber is % by 40
yards broad 10 feet high and the walls
bear pictures of Indians crudely
drawn. There is an Indian legend
current that a great battle was fought
years ago between two tribes near
the point, the vanquished having per-
ished in a mammoth cave.

and rolling thunder seemed to threat

of Ardmore's citizens sought their

The Seventeenth Amendment.

Washington, April. S.-The new
amendment to the constitution, for
the popular election of United States
senators, is the seventeenth to be
adopted. 1t reads:
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 one vote. The
electors in each state shall have the
qualifications requisite for electors of
the most numerous branch Of the
state legislatures.
when vacancies happen in the rep
resentation Of any state in the senate,
the executive authority of each state
shall issue wrts of election to fill
such vacancies, provided that the leg
islature of any state may empower
the executive thereof to make tempo
rary appointments until the people
fiji the vacancies by election as the
legislature may direct"
The amendment primarily transfers
the power of electing senators from
the state legislatures to the people
at the polls. To effect this change 1t
was necessary to alter the machinery
for the filling of vacancies in the SEN
ate.
For more than sixty years pro-
posals have been made to change
the constitution so as to provide for
the direct election of senators. It
was'not, however, until June "a, 1911
that the senate was induced for the
first time in its history to give its
consent to the change. On that day
it voted to submit to the states the
proposed amendment. The resolution
to submit had already passed the
house in a somewhat different form
Before adjournment of the session,
bo-h houses agreed to the language

was deposited with the secretary of
state May 16, 1912, for distribution
among the states.
The original theory in establishing
the choice of senators was that they
represented the states, where as the
members of the house represented
the people Cf their districts. 1t was
because of this theory of the state as
unit that all states large and small
were given equal representation in
the senate. Rhode Island having the
same number as New York or Penn
sylvania. In the theory of the con-
stitution trainers this entity of the
state was thus made more distinct
under the federal system, and the
state legislature was regarded as the
suitable medium for expressing this
state entity. Later it was contended
that state entity would still be pre-
served if the people of the state, in
stead of the Legislature, chose the
senators, and this view has now been
accepted as the basis of tn new
system.

STREET CARMEN ALWAYS ON DECK

When 1t comes to real live, aggressive
organization work, we all have to doff
our old grey bonnet to President Thurl-
oy and his men OF division 515. A. A. of
5. & e. R. E. Of A.. as the real and bona
ide hustlers and the men who get re-
suits when they go after them.
Division 515 started out as an organ
ization composed solely of motormen
and conductors and so continued for sew
eral years; but the boys showed the 9th
er people employed by the Mckinley in
terests here what real live trade union
meant and some of the benefits which
ome from united action, with the result
hat the barn men, the track men, the
linemen, the power house employees and
even the teamsters have Joined the local
union, and 1t is even rumored that the
office force, including the bookkeepers
and stenographers, want to get in.
The boys have proven conclusively to
the local management the fallacy of the
old argument that organization means
strikes and trouble and that the direct
opposite is the result; that the employees
take more pride in their work and a
greater interest in the welfare of the
company when they are organized; that
the spirit of brotherhood engendered in
the union does away largely with the
petty jealousies and chickering's SO COM
mon where the men are not organized
and it is a case OF dog eat dog.
Were all our industries SO solidly or
ganized as are the employees of the Nc
Kinley company in this city, Galesburg
would be a far better city in which to
live, both for business men and the men
who do the work of the world.
The Labor News hastens to congratu-
late President Thurlby and the members
of SIS on the splendid example they
have set for others.
The new members of the local union
have been added to the Labor News list
and we trust they will find much pleas
ure and profit from a perusal of its col

ACCIDENTS REDUCED.

Lansing, Mich.-Since the workmen's
compensation and employers liability
act went into effect. little more than
six months ago. the average number of
fatal accidents to employees of persons.
firms, partnerships and corporations in
Michigan has decreased from two a day
to three every two days. This means a
decrease of % per cent. The average
number of non-fatal accidents of the
same class of employees has decreased
from 100 a day to Go. These figures are
furnished by the State Industrial board.
and are based on the fatalities and non
fatal accidents occurring to the EN-
ployes of more than 1000 employers OF
labor, from the largest railroad. manu-
featuring and mining companies down
to the small shops where the pay roll
does not exceed few hundred dollars

canvass Of all the Lansing factories and
other employers who have come under
this act, and find that they have spent

THE TARIFF ON MATRIMoNY.
(By Madison c. Peters.)

(By Madison c. Peters.)
Many a woman would be willing to
sacrifice for the sake of becoming a
mans wife. but most men who do not
marry on the pretext of economy are
persons who could marry if they were
willing to sacrifice some of their luxur-
ious habits and were content to begin
life with simple, wholesome comfort 10
be increased as life went on. But no.
they must start where their parents LETT
loft, they must cut a dash, they love their
pleasure too much to sacrifice any por-
ton of it for domestic bliss.
The sentiment has become prevalent
that a man must make his fortune before
he marries that his wife must have no
sympathy or share with him in the pur-
suit of it. in which most of the pleasure
consists. This is unfortunate; 1t fills the
country with bachelors who are waiting
to make their fortunes; it destroys the
true economy of the domestic institution,
encourages inefficiency among women,
who are expected to be taken up by for
tune and passively sustained without
any concern on their part.
The state of life into which it has
pleased God to call our daughters Is
plainly, for the most part, that which en-
tails the duties of the housekeeper and
the home-maker; and for those duties
the learning acquired in the schools or
ten does mucn 10 unHl lHelu
The result of this unfaithfulness IN
the foundation education is seen in the
extravagant habits of our modern house
keeping the ignorant waste where the
Young lady finds herself unable to teach
and direct the servants in cases where
she is not required to do the actual work
herself, and, wearying of her attempts TO
be queen of her own household, she al
lows her little kingdom to live without
Gpdc "
pense of married life is greater than ne
anticipated and the comfort less. AS the
expenditures increase he sees that MS
hard work on one side is only TO supply
the means of wastefulness on the other
side and that his children are growing
ND with notions of life which nothing
but increasing riches can satisfy.
We do not wonder that great discon-
tent prevails among married men. 1t Is
This extravaganza and incompetence
among women that accounts Tor the
steady decline in marriages.
Today much of the education is SO
managed as to unfit women for practcal
life. | would make all the improvements
in education and the accomplishments Oh
manners subordinate to the duties OF the
home-the means to make home happy.
OF course. the man who prizes woman
chiefly because she is capable OF per
forming tasks of this kind does not de-
serve to have good wife. He shouia
employ a housekeeper and pay ner eoou
wages And the woman whose idea OF
duty stops here and whose highest ana
sole ambition is to keep house wen mas
very low conceptions of her proper die-
nifty. .,1s
The fault lies with parents; uniess
they can give their daughter fortune
when she marries, they perpetrate
sraud unon the young man IT, by her
lack of domestic training. they make her
unfit for the position of wife in the home
of the young man who has to make his
way in the world.
