The new amendment to the Con
stiution. for the popular election of
United States senators, is the seven
teenth to be adopted. 1t reads:
The Senate Of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected By the PEG
pie thereof. for six years; and each
senator shall have one vote. The
electors in each state shall have
the qualifications required for cleo
tors OF the most numerous branch
Of the state legislatures.
When vacanies happen in the rep
reseutation Of any state in the Senate,
the executive authority Of such
state shall issue writs of election 10
fill such vacancies, provided that
the legislature of any state may EN-
power the executive thereof to make
temporary appointments until the
people fill the vacancies by election
as the legislature may direct"
The amendment primarily transfers
the power OF electing senators from
the state legislatures to the people
at the polls. To effect this change
It was necessary TO alter the machin-
cry for the filling OF vacancies in

SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENTS IATERESTIHG HISTORY


the Senate.
For more than 60 years proposals
have been made to change the Con
stitution so 5 to provide for the
direct election Of senators. 1t was
net. however, until June "a, 1911,
that the Senate was Induced for the
first time in its history to give
consent to the change. On that day
it voted to submit to the states the
proposed amendment, The resolution
to submit had already passed the
House in a somewhat different form.
Before adjournment of the session,
both houses agreed 20 the language
to be employed. and the resolution
was deposited With the Secretary Of
State May &c. 1912. for distribution
among the states.
The original theory in establishing
the choice Of senators was that they
represented the states, whereas the
members Of the House represented
the people Of their districts It was
because Of this Theory OF the state
as a unit that all states. large and
small, we're given equal representa-
ton in the Senate. Rhode Island
having the same number as New
York or Pennsylvania. In the theory
Of the Constitution trainers this
entity of the state was thus made
more distinct under the federal sys-
TEN, and the state legislature was
regarded as the suitable medium for
expressing this state entity. Later
it was contended that state entity
would stiH be preserved If he people
Of the entire state. instead OF the
legislature, chose senators. and this
few has now been accepted as the
basis Of the new system.
In 1926 the first action was taken
IN Congress looking to a change.
In that year Representative storrs,
u New York, introduced a resoIu-
Ion making senators elective by
he people Another resolution of
Alabama, introduced the first sena-
torial direct election resolution IN
he Senate. Nothing resulted from
these movements.
It was Andrew Johnson who re
viyed congressional agitation for the
direct election OF senators. As .
member Of the House OF Representa-
lives, he introduced two resolutions

islators. and they have many times
during recent years used that power
in a most reprshensible and scandal
Gus manner They have spent enor-
nous sums of money in corrupting
legislatures to elect to the Senate
men OF their own choosing.
One of the first speeches made IN
the Senate during the twenty-year
crusade for the change in favor of
the direct election was by Senator
Turpie. OF Indiana. In that speech
he declared that the election of sen
ators by legislatures was the one
Flemish on the democracy which
was embodied in the American gov
eminent.
One OF the most notable speeches
ever made in opposition to the change
vas that Of Senator Hoar, Of Massa
ehusetts. in 1898. He stated the
object OF the election of senators
by legislatures instead Of by the
people had been to remove one Of
the two bodies of legislation from
the operation of the fleeing pas
sions of the hour, to lay its founda-
ton below the frost, and to remove
the appointment of men who are
to compose it. as far as may be. from
the Temporary excitements which so
often move the people to their own
HARM"
/ am not afraid to say to the
American people that IT is dangerous
to trust any great power of govern
nent to their direct or inconslderate
control" he added Il am not
afraid to tell them not only that their
sober second thought is better than
their hasty action, but that a govern
ment which is exposed to the hasty
action Of q people is the worst and
not the best government on earth. .
No legislation by congress will be
necessary to put the change into ef-
feet. It viii be incumbent upon the
various states to see to it that proper
provision is made by the names of
senator's going on the regular ballots.
Should any state fail to do so, II
has been suggested that congress
might exercise its power of super.
vising that states voting regulations
so as to require the name to be
placed on the ballots.
The first senators to be elected
by the new method will be those who
AXE their seats for the term begin
aing March 4, 1915. They will be
elected at the November elections of
1914.

amendment were: Arizona, Arkan.

WILSON'S MESSAGE
ADMIRAL IN TONE.

The following is the comment OF
the New York American on the re
cent message OF President woodrow
Wilson:
PRESIDENT Wilson's taTie message
is admirable in manner aud matter.
1t is particularly judicial in what it
leaves out--all the hackncyed, ooso-
lete and unsound ideas of the Bryan
platform. And it is highly praise
worthy in its moderate, ssgacions and
truly democratic suggestion that trade
and business are TO be stimulated and
made freer by more liberal tariff
policy, not convulsed. reYolutionized,
and in spots possibly destroyed by
an attempt to uproot all protection o.
American industry.
Reciprocity treaties with nations
from whom we now buy hundreds Of
millions of merchandise and to whom
We ought to sci, much more of our
oy;n products than we do and re-
rival of the American merchant ma
rine. not by bounties which Imply
fayoritism, but by discriminating du-
ties in favor Of American ships when
ever they can be applied, are clearly
indicated both in the words Of Mr..
Wilson's message snd in the still
more significant fact that provision
las already been made az the presi-
dents request for exactly these meas.
ures in the tariff bill itself. reported
by Leader Underwood.
The presidents message deals in
ceneralities-necessarily so, but it is
not in the Bryan manner. It is no,
the deliveraRce OF a mar enraptGrec
with an abstract theory. 1t does not
say or imply that protectlonist man.
ufactuers are robbers" or protection
lists workingnen "beggars." The Bry.
an epithets are all missing.
MIR. Wilson insists that the tariff
schedules are TO be squared, not to
any theory, but ito the actual Facts.
rio would move with an engineers
cantion along the difficult track of re-
form. He declares that Il: would be
unwise TO move headIong with reck-
less haste" He warns US against
cutting at the very root OF what
has grown UP among us b. long pro-
ceeses and at our own invitation"
NO tariff bill can work miracles.
The worldwide phenomenon of mount.
ing prices win not be cortravened in
q moment by act Of congress. Prices
can be materially reduced by tariff
legislation only in those cases where
forced and unnatural combinations
are to be broken up.
"A good tariff bill cannot do so
very much TO lower prices. But 1t
can DO a great deal to raise wages
and incomes through a quckening
Of the general pulse of INDUSTRY and
commerce.
1T is not to be expected that any
sound tariff legislation viii pass the
present congress without a serious
;.nd prolonged struggle. II may take
three or four months TO teH the tale.
There is no reason to suppose thar
the president has any Illusion about
tie easiness Of his task. The hcuse
OF Representatives can. no doubt be
relied upon 70 support the administra-
ton measure. But the senate is an.
other matter

similar import was introduced by
Representative Wright of Ohio, in
20. In 1850 Senator Clemens, Of
fer the change, and in 1860 renewed
the agitation as a member Of the
Senate. In 1868, as President, he
sent special message to Congress
advocating the measure. and then
repeated his recommendations in his
annual message.
The subject was revived in 1873,
1876. 1856 and 1883, but without
success. In 1899 the House agreed
to the proposition, as it did in the
succeeding Congress, and stin again
in 1898, 1900 and 1902. The pro
posed change on none of these
occasions wen a favorable report

With the House thus srrayed year
after year in favor of the change,
the Senate became the battle-ground

ton which made it clear the federal
government was not to interfere
with senatorial elections in the states
For weeks the measure was in cor
ference. Finally the House con
ferees receded and the House agreed
to the Senate measure BY a vote Of
2s7 to 80.
Previous to this time, the several
states had taken the bit in their
teeth by enactlng laws which in eff
feet did not wait for a constitutional
amendment OF the subject. Probably
the mast successful Of these was
adopted in Oregon. It virtually d.

When Eugene Walter was as
Sisting at rehearsals of "The Eas-

that some of the English actors
and actresses in the cast stumbled
over the American slang, gener-
ally having no idea what the pas
sages meant.
One actress, who had line she
couldn't fathom, went to the
Stage director, an Englishman,
and asked him what it meant.
why, you see, he explained,
the young lady has had many Vi

Next morning an actor in the
