WASHINGTON. July S.-President
Harding faces today a severe test Of
his official and personal influence
with his former colleagues of the
Senate.
Senator's Kenyon (Iowa), Norris
(Neb) and ,Capper (Kan.), all Re

among the leaders of the senatorial
agricultural bloc" A number of
Democratic Senator'S, identified with
the bloc also are lined up against
an adjournment
Even some of the Republican Sena-
tors closely associated with the
President and usually eager to com
ply with his wishes, deprecated the
Presidents action in visiting the
Capitol in an effort to whip into line
the Republican majority OF the
Senate. They admit he failed sig
naily to secure the Unanimous CON
sent" of Republican Senators for an
adjournment, however successful he
was in persuading them that the
soldiers -bonus" ought to be re-
committed to the Senate Finance

BY JACOB P. DUNN.

The greatest civil service exami-
nation ever held IN Indiana will be
staged Sept. 6, next when the peo
pie viii vote on the thirteen pro-
posed amendments to the State con-
stitution. OF course this Is small
test as compared with oregon, where
they vote on thirty or forty intricate
laws and amendments at one time;
but II ought to give some idea OF
Indiana's desire for the referendum,
and the capacity of the people to
use it intelllgently.
From past experience with consti-
tutionai amendments in this State,
and referendum votes in other
States, # is quite certain that many
electors win not vote. Some of them
are not intelligent enough to be In
terested in the basic law Of their
State; some will not know what the
amendments are, and will be too lazy
to inform themselves; some VIII not
vote because they are afraid they
do not know how. OF those who do
vote considerable number viii vote
for or against all Of the amendments
from party or other prejudice. Some
will vota against all of them for the
purpose of forcing a constitutional
convention, by preserving all the
present Ills of the constitution as
lrritants. II II were possible to get
a complete record OF how and why
everybody votes IL It would be botn
interesting and instructive.
FIRST AMENDMENT
RELATES TO SUFFRAGE.
The first amendment on .as ballot win
be that to Section Of Article 2. which.
according TO the published statement Of
the stats election commissioners, pro
poses to fix the time Of residence re-
Quired before an elector may vote at q
certain place" This statement is un-
fortunate as the residence qualifications
are not amended at all, and other quail
ture OF the amendment Is the restriction
Of suffrage to citizens Of the United
states--nativos and fully naturalized
foreign born-and this alone should
cause it 20 receive an unanimous favor
able vote. The provision Is desirable not
only as excluding voters who are legally
aliens, but also because five years rest
dence in this country Is required before
a foreigner can become a citizen Of the
United States and that Is certainly little
enough to enable him to become ac-
quainted with our form OF Government
and our public problems. For the same
reason, however. the local residence re-
quirements should have been increased 1t
is absurd to suppose that the average
new conner win become sufficiently in
formed as TO our State affairs in six
months and our country city and town
ship affairs in thirty days, 70 vote on
