RAPS At
PRIMARY SYSTEM
Senator Makes Some Comments
Upon the Address of John c.
Bane at Star Bar Meeting

Senator Boies Penrose, although
within year reelected to the Uniteo
States Senate by a popular vote, both
at the Republican nominating pri-
maries and at the general election last
November. last night in Philadelphia
reiterated his objections to the new
system of naming representatives to
the upper branch of the national Con-
gress. He voiced this opposition in
commenting upon a speech made by
John c. Bane. a well-known lawyer Of
Pittsburgh, at the annual meeting OF
the Pennsylvania Bar Association, yes
terday at Cape May. N. ].
Mr.. Bane contended that the consti-
tutional amendment for the election OF
United States senators by direct pop
ular vote was one of the first sub
stantial achievements of the crimes
OF representative government"
III commenting upon Attorney Bane's
address Senator Penrose said:
Il agree with many of the views eX-
pressed in the speech referred to-.
opposed the popular election of United
States senators and voted against the
measure whenever it came up in Con-
gress. My opposition was based en-
trely upon my theory of the American
government and not upon any per-
sonal grounds, as was shown by the
fact that l cheerfully bowed to the
VIII or the majority and submitted my
name to the voters. The old way of
electing United States senators was
generally looked upon by publicists,
like Mr.. Bryce, as ideal and better than
any other method devised to create
what is called an upper legislative
chamber. The more you study the
machinery of the American govern
n1nnf NrN,, l. n
that the United States Senate is the
most important cog in the govern
mental machinery.
The United States Senate has upon
numerous occasions amply vindfcated
itself in its debates and decisions and
mas been of infinite service to the
country.
Now that we have the popular cleo
tion of senators, the question arises
now long can the Senate continue. In
otner words, will the American people
tolerate two votes in the Senate from
Nevada named by an electorate of not
more than four or five thousand. and
with population not as large as many
wards In Philadelphia, and having al
the same time the two votes euual IN
the Two votes from Pennsylvania? II
we are to have popular majority rule.
thlS condition is illogical, and is bound
10 cause a breakdown sooner or later
When some vital question arises.
Inc same reasoning applies to
amendments to the Constitution. The
smaller States like Nevada and Arizona
| nave the same voice in amending the
constitution that New York and Penn.
sylvania have. 1t is not likely, il
popular majority rule Is to prevail
that the people will tolerate indefinitely

POTATO TREES

Nevertheless great ignorance pre-
vailed in parts of the United States
about the potato even in recent years.
In a railroad coach sat two men on a
journey to the Pacific coast. The
train passed through a potato section,
and one of these men remarked to his
companion: What fine field of po-
tatoes"
Said the other: "Oh no, you can't
stuff me with that. Potatoes grow on
trees just the same as pears and other
such fruit. When return 1 am 60
