the S~ervians, but Macedonian volun-

a successful retreat, inticting awful
losses on the Greeks. The Bulgarians
opposed to the Servians held their
own, n even captured 5000 Ser

border n seized Kniajevatz. Zait-

connected Belgrade and Macedonia.

to a close. ~
Alvina has been all alone in the
world. Her parents died and the two
players, Bob and Eva Mckinley, pick
ed her up in California and adopted
her. That was four years ago, and
then began an ~unceasing round of en-
gagements ali over the United States.
Alvina Mckinley, petite and graceful
with her clear. girlish voice and her
clever nimble dancing, went over the
footlights to the sympathies of her
hearers.
Scarcely anybody in that great
audience at the penitentiary knew
that the girl who was SO joyously

down from Plaza as special guests at

NOT ALWAYS TO BLAME
Autoists Are Not Always to Blame

of Accidents.

liner are unfavorable conditions
under which motorists operate, with
children using the paved portion as a
playground, while the older folks are
equally careless in their use Of that
portion of the street to which traffic
is restricted and over which it should
nave a more Or less clear field. De-
spite these facts-and they are well

lect statistics each month to show
that the motor car as a death dealing
agent Is growing daily more effective.
1t is not a fact as these Organizations
and their statistics point out that mot
oriss as a class are growing more
careless, far from it, the actual facts
show that non-owners Of cars have
become accustomed to their passage
and have grown callous and careless
toward the dangers which their swift
movements carry. In short, the grow
Ing death rate insofar as motor cars
are concerned is due to the careless
ness Of the pedestrian rather than
that Of the driver.
Automobile owners and drivers are
much concerned over this situation as
they are blamed generally for some
thing in which the fault lies else
where. When accused Of a lack Of
consideration for pedestrians, they as

heart Of the city in an automobile Is
to open ones eyes to the amazing in

BULGARIA Was Victim =
of Conspiracy Says
Professor at Sofia

New York. Sept. 6.-Constantine
Stephanove. professor of English lit
erature in the University of Sofia,
Bulgaria. has written a letter to
friends in New York in which he de-
tends Bulgaria from The allegations
freely made against her that she was
the aggressor in the latest Balkan
war, and that Bulgarian troops have
committed a series of atrocities in
southeastern Europe. .
The letter Is dated Sofia, where Pro-
fessor Stephanove resides, and was
written in August, shortly after the
conclusion of peace at Bucharest. The
writer begins by describing the isola-
ton in which Bulgaria had found her
self for several weeks past. Her enc

An odd Experience, This.

1t seems almost impossible that with
a million or more automobiles gliding
over the United States, any inhabited
community exists that has never been
visited by motor tourists. Yet it is de-
clared that until a Kissel Kar rolled
into It's thoroughfare a short time ago,
Otter-Tail, Mo-, never saw a motor car
driven there on it's own power.
Otter-Tail is situated in northern
Missouri at the head of Great Slave
lake. Peace River county. A few of its
citizens W machines, but on account
of the road conditions, have never driv-
en- them outside of the immediate sur
rounding territory. A. J. Short of
Warrensburg was the intrepid pioneer
who drove his Kissel Kar into town,
much to the wonder of the citizens,
who could not believe any car powerful
enough to push through the miles OF
gumbo necessary to reach there.

Little chug chug engine.
Little steering wheel,
Little horn that honk honk's
That's the automobile.
Lots of little blowouts
When we take the hills,
Lots of little cuss-words
When we get the bills.
These incidents together
Make motoring worth while,
To life they add variety
And help reduce our pile.

guage to be employed, and the reso-
luton was deposited with the secre-
tary of state May rs, 1912, for distri-
button among the states.
In framing the constitution, its
authors no doubt intended to improve
on the English house of lords, by
creating one branch of the national
legislature the members of which
would represent not only the state as
a whole, but particularly the landed
and business interests. In theory this
position was undoubtedly correct, but
il soon became evident that the cleo
tions were frequently tainted by fraud
and the corrupt use of money, and
that many of the senators represented
in gre only the interests that
were responsible for their elections.
Of late years it has seemed that
the senate has had little in common
with the people, and while the change
will be looked upon with apprehension
by many, if the new rule should prove
disappointing, the fault will lie entire
~ with the people themselves.

ELECTION OF SENATORS BY
POPULAR VOTE

Direct election of United States
senators became one of the provisions
Of the constitution Tuesday by Con
necticut's ratification of the amend
ment to that effect.
Thirty-six states, the requisite
three-fourths, have approved the
change. 1t remains only for governors
Of all states which have acted favor
ably to formally notify Secretary
Bryan and for him to issue a procla-
nation announcing the change.
The amendment to the constitution
j. the second within the last few
months.
The new amendment to the constitu-
ton, for direct election of United
States senators, is the seventeenth to
be adopted. 1t reads;
ssThe senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senator's
from each state, elected by the people
thereof, for six years; and each senat
or shall have one vote. The electors
in each state shall have the qualiiea-
tions requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch of the state legisla-
lures.
"When vacancies happen in the rep
resentation of any state in the SEN
ate, the executive authority of such
state shall issue writs of election TO
fill such vacancies, provided that the

For more than 90 years proposals
have been made to change the %consti

election of senators. 1t was not now
ever, until Jube "a, 1911, that the sen
ate gave its consent to the change. On

At this time OF year much interest
