GOVERNORS CANNOT APPOINT.

One of the most significant changes
wrought by the adoption OF the amend
mcnt TO the Federal Constitution pro
viding for the election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people
is that IT deprivcs the Governors of
states of the power to appoint SEN
ators in case OF vacancies when the
Legislature is not in session. Unless
the Legislature expressly empowers
the Governor to appoint, he can do
nothing in such a contingency The
Columbia state in making this very
interesting point, cites the following
clause % the amendment:
when vacancies happen in the rep
rcscntation of any State in the senate
the executive authority OF such State
snail issue writs OF election to ill such
vacancies. provided that the Lcgisla-
turc of any state may empower the
executive thereof to make Temporary
appointments urtil the people nil the
vacancies by election as the Legisla-
! turc MAY direct"
Under the Constitution, before ii was
, amended, the Governor had the power
TO fiji II vacancy in the Senate by an
pointment until the Legislature met.
Hereafter il is made mandatory upon
the Governor To order a popular cleo
tion unless he is authorized by leeis-
lative act to make temporary appoint
ments.
/ For instance, if ono OF the Virginia
Senators were to resign at this time,
( Governor Mann would have 10 order

CITE, THAT LOOK FORWARD.

The bacliwardncss Of our cities in
providing for their future expansion
is an established fact. The New York
Press brings them 10 bar because
they have allowed suburbs TO grow

that it means infinite trouble, large
expense and inferior city building

munities"
Philadelphia is equal to its oppor-
tunity in this field. y municipal plan
ably reported by n House committee
of the PENNSYLVANIA Legislature, is
supported by an influential body Of
public opinion in Philadelphia cour-
ageous enough TO call for advisory
power concerning all suburban devel-
opments within twenty-five miles of
that city. The measure provides for
a commission to advise in regard to
harmoni2ing and unifying plans for
physical Improvement and for health
and the general welfare within the
twenty-five mile radius. The terri
tory so included is legally constituted

kindred matters. so that the local au-
thorities may avail themselves Of the
