U. S. Senators.

Washington. D.. @. April l5.-
There is no man 10 Congress who i.
entitled to more credit for the Law
amending the Constitution to provlds
for the election OF United States
senators by direct vote than Senate,
Borah OF Idaho.
Ever since he entered the Senate be
has been an aggressive advocate OF
the proposed change. Discussing the
Importance OF the amendment, Mr..
Borah said:
1T will do away with deadlocks
and scandals in State legislatures,
and will remove the corrupting In
fluences that have done so mnch to
destroy the confidence Of the people
10 thei. legislatures. 1t is safe to
say that nine tenths OF the corruption
engendered IN state legislatures has
Its source in senatorial elections.
ut will enable the people to elect
state Legislatures on ell-defned state
issues. disentangled from senatorial
elections; and enable the people to
elect United States senators on we'll
defined national issues disentangled
from matters Of local legislation. Iu
other words, 1t will give a free scope
10 this feature OF the government to
the representative principles OF our
government.
''The ratification of this amend
ment demonstrates after all 1t is not
so difficult to amend the Constitution.
When the people are thoroughly
aroused and are thorough interested
they can make Congress conform to
their desires promptly and rapidly"

polite these days; nevertheless Mr..
Wilson almost punched the breath
out OF Congress when he let IL be
known that for the nrst time since
John Adams was President, Congress
would receive Its message personally
from the lips Of the Executive. One
has been hearing less and less OF the
talk that Bryan is to dominate the
Administration; since the ways Of
Wilson are distinct Innovation. Iu
truth the President has been shocking
Washington ever since March 4-and
even before that when he vetoed the
inaugural ball: but the reading Of his
message was tho cap-stone. When
the President left the great gathering
in the House on April sth, It was as
absolute master of the entire s!tua-
tion Of national affairs. The CORES.
pondent OF the Tribune put the
question to one OF the most intimate
associates x.President Taft had
during the past four years. as TO The
probable effect OF Mr.. Wilson's ap--
pearance before Congress, and this
was the answer: president Wilson's
message is At to be considered q
literary classic; nothing more scholar
ly has been produced In late days;
when the President delivered It, the
force behind 1t was so great that he
won the lukewarm supporters of the
Administration, threw fear into the
hearts of bis secret enemies, and
gained q personal esteem among his
political opponents" And then In u

"How did II happen that Roosevelt

responsible for the greatest show that

that the morning following the frst
conference between President Wilson
and Mr.. La Toilette q s.feeler'' was
thrown out to the press that secured
an advance expression Of sentiment
as to the adyisability Of the move.
The next number on the program was
the personal visit TO Congress by the
President. George Washington was
the last President to 20 to the Capitol
for the avowed purpose Of influencing
