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." ':--r.r::':.;.-'
This will happen ere long in other
states alqp, and finally even without a
change -of the; federal constitution,
""beedme-the-nrfe; Oregon arnongthe
northern states, was the pioneer in
this movement, and while many think
a better selection might have been
made, the people .have chopfv-and-H
they have made a mistake they have
no one but themselves to blame.
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iron, would be -superseded" by the ge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.

RDINARILY we do not ap
prove of ' calling on school
children for contributions for
anything. Not only because it is not

that city have no place in which to at

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

Superintendent Ackerman has sent

we hope that eyery district in Oregon
will promptly respond. And if a lit

The Play
: : '"". By J. McC.
Ever see a bright little woman, al
ways smiles, always Interesting and al
ways charming, on or those women
a fellow feels like tsklng In his arms
and aqueeslng th life half out of Just
becaus he know. ah will regain her
breath again and smile while doing ?
That's Henrietta Crosman.
Ever see a woman that smiles and
smiles and ahows her dimple -and give
the impression . that ahe IS a little,
pt-etty butterfly aort . of a thing, yet
you know beneath the smiles there ia
a heart as big as a mastodorv'a.and a
wonderful amount of common sense and
iympalhyXJTbet, too, Is Henrietta Cros
man. - - -. - - 1 ' ' 1 "
And all that Is good and worthy" and
desirable tn a woman and in an actress
that, alao. Is Henrietta Crosman,
Lat night Henrietta Crosman made
her first bow to-T Portland audience.
Th train carrying th star did not ar
rive in Portland until I o'clock, and It
was S:16 when th curtain went up on
th first act. No one took the trouble
to aay why. ..Ten minutes later th audi
ence, which had made up Its blind to
be bored;, had made up Ita mind to be
delighted. '. :
Henrietta Crosman tripped onto the
stage, bestowed a kindly . smile, spoke
her first lines in the play, and the audi
ence gaaped., .Tret's see--how old ,4s
Henrietta? That's what the audleno
said. And then the audience told Itself
that to Judge from her vivacious work
she was in the neighborhood of IS.
Every line she spoke, every gesture aho
made, approached the limit of perfec
tion. Nothing was overdone.
" She" worked "up the intertatuntirrat
th proper tlrhe, the audience was ready
for the scream of laughter which fol
lows the culminating Incident - of th
play. Ph took from hundred of Amer
ican cltlea a living, flesh-and-blood
character and set It upon the stage,
and ther gave it ltfe. On forgot ha
was watching a play when Henrietta
Crosman was speaking. - One could ahut
hi eye and think he-was In a drawings
room, listening to th vivacious prattle
of a charming woman. But one eouldn t
keep his eyes closed long. - ' V
The story of the play la a simple one.
Mary, an old maid In years, only, who
has refused marriage from 100 men.
4 meets Bertie Danvers. who Teturns to
renew his acquaintance wtth a woman
he loved in days gone by and who I
now , married to another man. A lov
letter written by th woman years b
for to Bertie 1 unearthed. Bertie gets
it Fearing the result should a
Jealous husband discover the letter, the
married wqman asks her cousin, Mary;
to get It from Bertie, a confirmed
woman-hater. . How ahe , succeeds- after
a war "of wits which cannot help but
amuse; how, 'in succeeding, shf loae
ler own heart to Bertie, and he, in
turn, turns from a woman-hnter to a
most ardent lover, Is th slbiy ct I thrff
piay.
On cannot say much in favor of the
play. It la crude not worthy the
genius of Mis Crosman or th abilities
of the othermembers of th eomjjBjiV:
