DIRECT ELECTIONS.

New York has ratified the proposed
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for the direct election of SEN
ators. The Empire state is the third
to join this ovement-Montana anG
Massachusetts having already gone or
record-and is the first state this
year to take action. Discussing Tho
probable fate of the proposed amend
mcnt, The Chicago Post says;
There are some who say that
the required number of ratifica-
tions to bring this amendment into
constitutional force will be secured
in time to provide for the direct
election of the United States scna-
tors who take their seats in March,
1915. This may be a little too fast,
hut no one can question that the
moVement is Overripe and prom
iSes to sweep the country as the
more debatahle propositions like
the income tax amendment have
not been able to do.
Some Of the state rights advo-
Gates down south do not like the
way the proposed amendment is
drawn because, they say it recog
ni2es the power Of congress to
regulate the manner in which the
states may choose their United
States senators. They profess to
be afraid that congress, having
been conceded this much. will some
| day attempt to interfere with their
state election laws. This argument

senators, hasn't much force, mas
much as the south has always had

states hold out against the amend
ment there seems to be every like
lihoOd that it will get enough rati-

to carry. When one realizes that
thirty-tWo states have already
worked out some method or other
of providing-more or less eff
fectiV6ly-for the direct expression
of the popular viii on the election
of senators, it is evident that the
public temper is not at all ultra
conservative on this point.

because of other lax methods, are
largely responsible for a regular busi-

Editor Missoulian-I beg to offer
through your columns a few thoughts
regarding consolidation.
Is it not a fact that the most sue
Is ii not equally true the field of
learning is 50 broad that no one in
stitution can cover it all? Was it
not found necessary and advantageous
for the university 10 discontinue the
preparatory course Is it not also
true that before Il student who de-
sires to enter medical school can
do so, he must obtain the proper
credits from a university? Is it not
better for one who desires to take a
course in mining or metallurgy to at
tend a mining school, than to attend
school where these professions are
taught merely as a branch of the
larger institutions? Is this not also
true of one who desires an agri-
cultural course? Is it not the prov
ince of the university to prepare the
students for colleges and other insti-
tutions of higher LEARNING? Why
should we destroy the schools where
the Montana student can now receive
the benefits from special training and
graduate as a finished product in his
own state and offer him in return an
auxiliary course from an institution
that does not specialize on any one
course? CThat is, the whole institu
tion does not.) Would it be to the
advantage Of the Montana students
to, by consolidation, reduce the cost
of operation per capita and by the in
crease in size, attendance, etc, which
must follow Cir the accomplishment

If we have no university, would it
make one for us to add the other
schools to it? And if the addition Of
the other state schools would make a

eventually be worn away, but what
would the student be benefited dur

believe in the university for the uni

SATISFACTORY
FIFTH PRACTICE OF THE cREA-
TON FEATURED BY THE APP
PEARANcE OF THE ORCHESTRA.

The fifth rehearsal of Haydn's ora
torio THE Creation" was held on Mon
day evening and proved to be in every
way the best and brightest of the
series.
The principle feature was the first
appearance of the orchestra, who have
been meeting in secret conclave under
the direction of Mr.. William Packham,
evidently with the intention of spring
ing a surprise upon the other conspir-
ators.
Such surprise their entry upon the
musical battlefield proved to be-such
a welcome surprise-such freshness
and crispness and vim and energy
small wonder indeed that the chorus
outdid itself, that the rafters rang
with the thrill of voices inspired to
greater effort; for now at last came
the wonderful violins, cleav.ng their
way through the heart and brain of
every singer: and everyone knew and
understood what had been lacking in
previous rehearsals.
Mr.. Packham has earned the praise
and thanks of all concerned for the
conscientious work he has done in the
training the orchestra; the work has
been done thoroughly and we'll, and
their advent makes a new era in the
history of these rehearsals.
That the conductor, Mr.. J. w. Lur-
ton, felt the same thrill through this
addition to his forces was. evident.
He was too overjoyed to be sarcas-
tic; Csarcasm is his favorite weapon
for the languid ones) and, although
there were doubtful spots, the chorus
were let off with scarcely a reprimand.
Now that the ensemble is practically
complete, one can form a very good
idea of what the effect is going to be
upon a patiently waiting, yet expec-
tant public. The writer has no hesi-
tation in saying that the final, grand
performance will break all records in
the musical history of Pensacola; that
it will be a performance worthy of any
great city; and that Pensacola may
congratulate itself upon its ability to
produce a hundred musicians together
with a leader who can lead them on
to victory through the tortuous mazes

The patrons of basketball will have
the last opportunity of witnessing
basketball during the season, when the
Crowns, who hail from Mobile, come

seeing the noted Mobile teams play on

occasions our team has visited Mobile,
playing first class basketball, and
showing the public at large that Pen
sacola has something besides deep
water and a great city. 1t has been
shown during the track meets held by
this association, that Pensacola can
put up some of the best athletics ever
seen in this section, and particularly
in basketball.
The Crowns and Pensacola teams
have shared honors, along the basket
ball line. each team winning one game.
and the game to be played on Satur-
day night on the Y. NJ. c. A. court, will
decide the championship between these
two teams.
This is the first season in several
years that out of-town teams have
visited our city; and through the
games played in this city and Mobile,
friendly rivalry has been establish
ed between the two cities.
The largest crowd of the season is
expected out, and no doubt will be
presented with some of the classiest
basketball ever witnessed in this
city.
