Cicero.- PEOPLE WILL, ELECT - ATORS. SEN- MARYLAND will have a sen i ator to elect next year to succeed Senator Why t, re cently appointed to. fill the vacancy made by the death of Senator Gor man, and the Baltimore Sun has al- - ready begun an agitation to have the .new senator selected by a popular vote of the At ate instead of by the leg islature, as was done in Oregon at the recent election. , The Baltimore News lc6rdially .seconds. Hsneighbpr'ssug- gestion, saying:' ... "This is a question on which there is hardly room for difference of opin ion. The News is glad to range it self alongside or its morning con' temporary, and pledges its hearty co . operation in any -effort to transfer the T selection of Maryland's senator from ' the hands of a politically controlled , legislature to the people of "Maryland. The News has for years advocated - the principle of the selection of sen ators by the people. We must wait " for that yet a while, but through a , concert of the forces that atand for sound, popular government in Mary land, we can bring aboui-jLpopulax -expression that -would be morallyrand ; in practice-, binding on the general as sembly. : And we think that a sen atorial election thus conducted would put the capstone on the work for po . litical regeneration that fof 12 years has gone steadily on jn this com- munity."

Since the United States senate will not submit a' constitutional amend ment for electing senators by a direct popular vote, the ' people will elect their - senators, , practically, without such an amendment,-until they get a senate that- will submit it.

SUPPLY OF COAL AND IRON. ..... - i, ii , ' "N ARTICLE in the Interna X ttfonal Quarterly "says that . V. irnn nnlw'urAiilil K - hausted in ,100 years if the demand keeps up jft vnrrrasing proportions, and that after that period recourse must be had to ores containing but a sntall part of iron, with the obvious result that iron would cease to be an article of ordinary use; that the age of iron, would be -superseded" by the ge of aluminum. , The Iron Age says that the world still' will have access ro0,TXXJ,TXXJ,00Q tons of iron oret of which Germany would give 200,000,- 000 tons; Spain, 500,000,000; Sweden,; 1,000,000,000; the United States, 1,- 100,000,000, and England 1,000,000,000. Professor Toernebohm, president of the geological. bureau of Sweden, says that it may be predicted with a cer tainty that the iron layers in North America, Germany and England will be exhausted in one or two centuries, the richest layers even sooner. ' Now we really .would be presump tuous to dispute or even doubt such high authorities, but with all due def erence to them we don't believe that there is any danger of the coal and iron supplies giving out for hundreds or even thousands of years. Prob ably not one tenth of the tfe-bearing fields have yet been discovered. It is believed that there is coal enough on the Pacific f oast, mainly in Canada, to last-the-whole world for decades. Then there is China, and other coun tries, . with :.who . knows . how' many hundreds or thousands of square miles of undiscovered 'ores. None of as will be nere to see 100 years, hence,- but if "we " could "come back in 200. or 300 years we imagine that -there, would be . plenty of coal and iron ore left, or that it would have been found that nature, had provided some substitute as good or better. :hildren-will- help? o RDINARILY we do not ap prove of ' calling on school children for contributions for anything.

No such disaster, nor anything ap proaching if irTdestriictiveness, ever before befell any American city. And among the thousands of buildings de stroyed were 34 large school build- ings, to replace which will cost about $6,000,000. . Meanwhile the children of that city have no place in which to at tend school. ' Some school children may think that this is rather an en joyable state of affairs,"yet welhink that most of them, and their parents, will be pleased to aid. the people and particularly" the children of that ter ribly stricken city in this way. Superintendent Ackerman has sent out a circuIaiMettet to the school of ficers and teachers of 'Oregon sug gesting that the respective schools de vise ways and means by which contri butions, either great or small, may be made to this very worthy .cause, and we hope that eyery district in Oregon will promptly respond.
