POPULAR ELECTION OF
SENATORS.
From Chicago Re .ord -Herald.
The long dea lock over the sena
orshlp at S.,rinstl3ld has led one
nember of the upcer house to Intro
luce a resolution calling upon Con-'
ress for the submission of a con
ititutional amendment for the direct
jlectlon of senators by popular vote.
Congress wl 1 never submit such
in amendment in response to reso
utlons of this sort. The logic is
ilmple. The Senate is part of Con
jress. The senators for the most
jart object to popular election on
he identical grounds on which the
jeople favor it. The Senate will
lever voluntarily take any initiative
In this matter.
The way to get action Is Just a
little different. The states should
tot ask Congress to act, but should
nsteai exercUe their constitutional
ight and make formal demand up
n Congress to ca'.l a constitutional
:onventlon to pre "are an amendment.
A'hen enough resolutions of this
character have been passed by the
itatea Congress will no' lonrer be a
'ree agent, but will be compelled to
act.
Illinois has more than once Dassed
i formal resolution of the reaulred
character, and so have about half of
he state3. Two-thirds of the states
have, however, not yet acted. It
may be regarded as one of the cer-
ainties of the future that In time
,;nough will act to secure the reform.
Every additional state which Dro-
vlde3 for a direct primary on the
lenatorship takes a forward stec
Where a primary law goes as far as
hat of Oregon, the state enjoys al
ready the equivalent .of direct elec
tion, except that continual watchful
ness Is necessary to prevent the
mechanhm slipping a cog at some
joint. here the state laws are
less thorough the primary system,
by Its very imperfection, makes the
ambodiment of the reform in an
amendment to the federal Constitu-
lon seam highly desirable.
Even though the Illinois general
assembly has acted in the past. It
should act again. It cannot express
:he sentiment of the state too often.
But the resalutlon should be recast
so as to take on the compulsory
form provided for by the federal
Constitution.
Swspt Over Niagara.
This terrible calamity often hap
pens because a careless boatman Ig
nores the river's warnings growing

warnings are kind. That dull pain
