February Magazines Late.

A newspaper bulletin says: Freight
Train Wrecked. Delaware, Ohio.
Everything smashed, but no lives
lost" We are glad no lives were lost,
but we happen to know what that train
was loaded with-February magazines
from the plant of the Crowell Publish
ing Company at Springfield. Ohio, to
New England subscribers of The
American Magazine and The Woman's
Home Companion. The loss of tens
of thousands of February magazines is
not big thing in itself, but it will
probably cause the scratching of a
good many pers by disappointed
subscribers whose copies will be de-
Iayed few days. No publisher likes
his freight fast that way.

DIRECT ELECTION OF u. S. SEN
ATORS NOW COMPULSORY.
r atific a tion of Constitutional
Amendment Begun by States
Less Than Year Aeo-Con-
necticut's Vote Makes
Results Certain

Washington, April s. Direct election
of United States senators by the people
was authorized and made compulsory
to-day, when the Connecticut Legisla-
tire ratified the constitutional amend
ment submitted by Congress less than a
year ago. Ratification already had been
given by 80 States.
While the proclamation of the Secre-
tary of State announcing final ratifca-
ton of the amendment by SO States is
required by law, Senators Bristow and
Borah, leaders in the direct elections
fight in Congress, expressed the opinion
today that the amendment is for all
practical purposes now a part of the
constitution.
amy man who may be elected to the
Senate hereafter must be elected
DIRECTLY" said Senator Borah.
The new amendment gives to the
State Legislature, however, the right to
prescribe the methods for electing SEN
ators. Many Legislatures have adj
journed, and will not reconvene until
early in 1915, few weeks before the
terms Of over 80 senators expire. 1t is
expected that in many States the Legis-
lature will adopt the plan authorized in
the new amendmsnt, and direct the
governors to appoint senators tenn
porarily until the people can elect men
at regularly called elections.
Special sessions of the Legislatures
will be urged in many States, so that
the necessary laws can be passed before
the general elections of 1914
The.choice of Senator in Maryland,
for the place now held by Senator Jack
son, would have been made by the
Legislature next year under the old
system. A special session of the Mary
land Legislature would be necessary to
provide laws by which popular election
could occur next year. In the opinion
of members of the Senate no successor
can be appointed by the Governor
under the new provision when Senator
Jackson's term expires unless the Leg
islature shall have especially directed
such action.

MANY LAND OWNERS PLANTING
FORESTS THIS SPRING.

The indications for an early spring
are already stimulating an interest in
forest planting, and over fifty orders
have been received by the State nur-
sery for trees. The new law which
provides fairer way of taxing young
growing forests will undoubtedly be a
great factor in reforesting the waste
lands of the State. Vermont is the
third State to pass such Legislation, by
means of which the growing timber is
not taxed until it is cut. The annual
tax is levied on the land alone to be
assessed at not over So an acre, and
