PEKIN. April s.-The hrst parliament
OF the worlds youngest republic was In
augurated today amid general rejoicings.
not only IN the Chinese capital, but
throughout the country.
The scene OF the gathering OF the joint
insugura! session of tho members OF the
senate and the house Of Representatives
was remarkable one. Five hundred rep
resentatives out OF u total OF 596. and III
gena tors out OF 274, all of them earnest
looking men OF mature years and nearly
all dressed IN European fashion with
lrock coats. silently awaited the appointed
hour OF opening.
AS the clock struck II. several hands
played the national anthem. while the as
5emblage rose TO its feet
The senior members o! the house Of rep
Tesentat!ves then made a few congratula-
tory rm7rks 10 the notable gathering and
formally declared both houses open.
Scenes or enthusiastic jubilation fol-
lowed before an adjournment was taken

The proceedings were brief and simple
They were watched with interest by a
large number OF foreigners, who had
packed the galleries.
Outside vast crowds thronsed the pre-
clnct OF the parliament buildings and
cheered as salute of l01 guns doomed
from the city wall.

Bristow Energetic.

Senator Brstow reintroduced the reso-
luton IN the special session Immediately
following. The fight OF the preceding
session was fought, but this time the
friends OF the resolution won by a vote
of 81 to "a. or five more than the required
two-thlrds.
The house had passed resolution
which made X clear the federal govern
ment was not TO interfere with senatorial
elections in the states. For weeks the
measure was In conference. Finally the
house conferees receded and the house
agreed to the senate measure by q. vote
OF 237 TO 80.
No legislation by congress will be nee
essary to put the change into effect. II
win be incumbent upon the various states
10 see to il that proper provision is made
by the names of senator's going on the
regular ballots. Should any state fail to
do so, IL has h%en suggested that con-
gress might exercise its power OF super
vlsIng that states voting regulations so
as 10 require the name 10 be placed on
the ballots.

Favored by Andrew Johnson.

II was Andrew Johnson who revived
congressional agitation for tho direct
election OF senators AZ a member OF the
two resolutions for the change, and In
1850 renewed the agitation as a member
of the senate. In 1858, as president, he
sent a special message TO congress sd-
yocating tho measure. and then repeated
his recommendations In his aannui mes
sage:
The subject was revived in 1873. 1876
1885 and 1888, but without success. H.
1898 the house agreed TO the proposition
as II did IN the succeeding congress, and
still again In 1898, 1900 and -902 The
proposed change on none or these occa-
sions won n favorable report from COM
mittees in the senate.
With the house thus srrsyed year after
year In favor of the change. the senate
became the battle-ground. Senator Bris-
tow OF Kansas took the lead In advocacy
Of amending the constitution along this
line In December, 1909, he introduced his
first resolution, A year later he obtained
a report from the committee, but a fea-
ture had been tackled onto his proposal
which brought on a fight in the senate,
threatened 10 Kill the entire proposition
This interposed feature was to amend
other provisions OF the constitution so as
TO deprive the federal government OF
power to supervise the state regulations
as TO the time and manner of election.
The votes of southern senator's threatened
TO defeat the main proposition IL the
federal government was given this power.
Senator Root made a speech. In which
he criticised the method employed by
southern states in depriving negroes OF
the right OF suffrage. Senator Bacon re-
piled that the federal government was
being given the power once more to enact
''force b!lls' and send armies and mar
shals into southern states to intimidate
voters. On February 2S. just before the
end Of the session, the resolution was de-
feated by four votes.

Long Struggle Closes.

For more than sixty years proposals
have been made to change the consutu-
tlon so as 20 provide for tho direct cleo
ton OF Senators. X was not, however,
until June "a. 1911. that the senate was
induced for the first time In its history
10 give its consent 10 the change. On
tha; day II voted 10 submit TO the states
the proposed amendment Tho resolution
10 submit had already passed the house
in a somewhat different form. Before
adjournment OF the session. both houses
agreed to the language 10 be employed,
and the resolution was deposited with
the secretary of state May 1e, l9l2, for
distribution among the states.
In 1926 the first action was taken in
congress looking TO a change. In that
year Representative Storrs OF New York
introduced a resolution making senator's
elective by the people. Another resolu-
ton OF similar import was Introduced by
Representative Wright OF Ohio, In 1929.
In 1850 Senator Clemens OF Alabama In
troduced the first sens torial direct elcc-
ton resolution in the senate. Nothing
resulted from these movements.
