RULES VIOLATED.

When Coroner Mix in his finding on the wreck at North Haven. where twenty-one lives were snuffed out, lays it to 2 lack of discipline he not only justifeS the new rules which the New Haven system has put into effect, but emphasizes the importance of each and every one of the employees know ing and fully respecting the rules which have been in existence for a long time in behalf of safety. It is a significant fact when he declares that while the system of banjo signals may be considered out of date it was the uor0bservance of rules which was re- sp0nsible for the most modern signal system could have done no more to avert the wreck than that in existence
 IL has been characteristic of the series of wrecks which has occurred on the New Haven system that there has been dn ignoring of the rules whether it was in the taking of cross overs. the running by signals, or the operation of trains at reckless speed when it must have been known that chances were being taken which would cndanger the lives of passengers, eith- CT behind or ahead. Whatever part equipment plays in wrecl1s, the primary cause of the last and great est catastrophe is attributable to dis obedience of rules Surely if the hu- man element in the operation of trains Is going to let recklessness get the better of caution and obedience, it must be made to realize that it is safe tv of operation above all else which is demanded.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

Just how much importance is att tached to the foreign trade of this country is indicated by the figures showing the amount of goods which are imported and exported. The ag gregate trade in the seven months of this wear amounts to s2346,144612 and showed an increase of more than $64,- 300000 over the corresponding period of last year. This total volume of our foreign trade was divided into inn ports of s1O1S.S71.475 and exports of $132L273137 showing a trade balance in our favor of S30S,401,G
 There is a slight falling off in the amount of goods imported, the increase shown being in manufactures for fur ther use in manufacturing, and man ufactures ready for use, gains of thir- ty million in the former and eight mil lion in the latter being shown.
 Thus far this year the exports show a gain of practically seventy five million over a like period last year. this being shown in practically all lines with the United Kingdom still far in the lead as our best customer, nearly three hundred million dollars worth of goods being sent to that na- ti0n in seven months with only a trifle over half that amount bought there. Canada maintains her position as sec ond big buyer here with Germany, France and Cuba following in order this last named republic taking nearly as much as we purchase from the United Kingdom When foreign trade continues to gain it is one of the best indications that advantage is being taken of the foreign markets to keep our industries active.

ABsENTEEIsM.

As champion of the caAcus system carried on in the national legislature, Congressman Donovan precipitated a heated discussion in the lower house when he sought to draw the fire from the subject of caucus control by at lacking the practice of remaining away from the sessions His assault upon absenteeism was timely bit of good advice. applicable to all parties and states. but he was blaming the effect for the cause.
 There is nothing which makes at tendance at the sessions of congress less necessary and the services of con- gressmen less valuable than the eau GUS system. It Is such star chamber sessions which make 1t absolutely use less to remain in Washington after they have been held and which make 1t possible for the lack of a quorum. Ahsenteeism is a congressional vice which is encouraged and made pos sible through the caucus system
 In his desire to curb the effect. Con- sressman Donovan should devote his energetic efforts to the cause. The practice of absenteeism is one which he can afford to use his influence to reform. but even greater opportunities are open to him for the breaking up of the caucus sys. .em. which makes absenteeism possible. His efforts to beIittle the assault upon the caucus, by calling attention to the assertion of duties for which congressman are elected. is looking al the proposition from the wrong end. Cure the master evil and the lesser evil will automat- iCaliE improve.

water with a merry whoop. When they neared the frightened women they were padding feebly while they screamed, helping one another as best appeared but they were perilously near sinking.
 It was the work of few moments to help four girls to the sides of the two canoes Morton took Mrs Star leigh in charge, while Carruthers started for the shore with Miss Camp bell.
 Morton was little in the lead and when he had landed his charge he turned for the return swim, but was mortified to see Carruthers on his back struggling violently and clinging to Miss Campbell as if she were life buoy.
 He understood it immediately Car ruthers had been seized with a cramp and had lost his head.
 Loosen your hold or you'n both sink he shouted, as he swam toward them, but Carruthers was past req soning with.
 There was only one thing to do When he came within reach he struck Carruthers such a blow on the point of the jaw that the latter was stunned and let go.
 Then few strokes carried Miss Campbell to land, and Morton turned back for his friend. Diving, he found him near the bottom and brought him also to shore. He put him in charge of the two women, who were unhurt and already recovering from their fright.
 The rescue of the others was ac- complished quickly and the whole party, water soaked, but safe, were soon congratulating themselves and showering thanks on their rescueTs.
 Morton got his lions share of the praise, but he noticed with a pang that Miss Campbell was constrained and almost formal in what she said.
 And when, some weeks later, he ven turned to propose to her. she said with evident distress: q am more sorry than I know how to say that you have asked me this question. I never can forget what you did for us all. but the horror of that blow you struck-neither can I forget that; it seemed like a murder
 So Morton knew his fate. That night while they were smoking their last pipe he said to CaEruthers: Good by, Jim: I'm off in the morning. You may never see me again. and if you don't teach her to forgive me, even if she can't forget the blow l struck my best friend to save the woman 1 Ioved."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

PEOPLE ELECT
SENATORS NOW
ConnsctiCui's Action Changes
the Constitution
AMENDMENT IS RATIFIED

Thirty-six States, Three-fourths Of All
In the Union. Have Approved the
Change.
Washington, April 9.-Eection Of
United States senators by the direct
vote of the people became a provision
of the United States consti- -ution.
when the Connecticut legislature, fol-
lowing up quickly the action OF the
Pennsylvania and Tennessee legisla-
lures last week. ratified the amend
ment providing for the change.
Thirty-six states, the requisite
three-fourths of all in the Union. have
approved the change. It remains only
for the governors of the states which
have acted favorably formally to no
tify Secretary Bryan and for him to
issue proclamation announcing tho
change.
The amendment to the constitution
is the second within the last few
months, the other being that au. .horiz-
ing the collection of an income tax by
the federal government.
In ratifying the amendment the Con-
necticut senate voted unanimous y,
while the vote in the house was $50
to u.
When told that Connecticut had rat
flied the amendment the president
said:
Il am sincerely glad that the amend.
ment has been ratified go promptly
and a reform so long fought for at
last accomplished"
The new amendment is as follows:
"The senate of the United Sta es
shall be composed of two senator's
from each state. elected by the people
thereof. for six years: and each sena-
tor shall have one vote. The electors
In each state shall have the qual:fica.
tons requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch of the state !egisla-
lures.
when vacancies happen In the rep
resentation Of any state in the senate.
the executive authority of each state
shall issue writs Of election to fill
such vacancies. provided that the leg
islature of any state may empower
the executive thereof to make tenn
porary appointments until the people
fll 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 q.
the polls To effect this change I,
was necessary to alter the machinery
for the filing Of vacancies in the
senate.
For more than sixty years proposals
have been made TO change the consti
tuition in this manner. 1t was not
until June "a. 1911. that the senate
was induced to give its consent to
the change. On that day 1t voted to
submit to the states the proposed
amendment
