SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE. A most important piece of legislation which has been before congress for a long time was disposed of as far as congress is concerned, when the Bris- tow amendment to the resolution amending the constitution of the Uaited States so as to provide for the election of United States sen- ators, was passed. This action has been sought for many years and the belief is general that the states; (o which it must now be referred for rati- fication, will act favorably upon it. The Connecticut delegation has stood for such action and it is certain that the state will vote it when it has the opportunuity. There has been a cry for it for a long time, it being realized that the selection of such offi- ¢ials is the right of the people and they should have the privilege of mak- ing their selection. It will probably be several years be- fore the amendment will be approved by the states as it requiresia favorable vote by three-quarters of them to make the change. How general the sentiment is for the legislation is shown by the vote of 237 to 39, the opposition all being from the south. In view of the fact that the making of the change has been up in varions resolutions for the past 86 years the passage of the resolution now shows a decided change of opinion. Unless the southern states through fear of tns negro vote dominating can block the ratification senators will be elected by | the people within the next few years. 8 they should be, the Bristow amend- ment giving the federal government supervision over them. MADERO BRACING UP. If a few more aspirants for the presidency of Mexico would only spring up it is possible better prog- ress would be made, Following close- ly on the in and out again trip of Gomez, the fed 1 troops directed by Madero displayed surprising strength and put Orozco to flight with heavy losses. This marks the first real life | that the government forces have shown, It is high time that Madero if he has the strength that he claims put his foot on the revolution and stamp- ed it out. The country can never get out of its unsettled condition until the | rebels are quelled. The fighting, how- ever, is in the territory of the revo- | lutionists and they can be expected to put up their best fight where they are acquainted. While nothing de- cisive has nccurred in the line of a battle previously the federalists have cause for feeling encouraged now that they have driven the boastful Orozco back to Rellano. It is here, however, that he waged his successful fight against Salas and if he expects to r peat his former stand against the fed- | erals he has taken a strategic posi- tion. There are sections of the republic which gre in constant turmoil with frequent engagements, but in other | districts no trouble exists. The United States transport Buford has secured but about 200 on the west | coast who wanted to leave the coun- try. Madero, however, must realize he has a stubborn enemy in Orozcc and one he could gppreciate being re- lieved of. THE OHIO HOTBED. With four presidential candidates within its borders all talking politics and for themselves Ohio is bound to get its fill in the next few day It is indeed an important state, but par- ticularly for the republicans has its delegation an unusual charm. Presi- dent Taft is making strong fight for his own state and | l { | | | | there is no doubt but what he will come of the pri- maries with a lead. His home state is bound to see t fallacy of the argu- ments of Roosevelt and in his presen- tation of his claims the president taking good care to see that they do. | Rooseévelt having started his tour an | | exhibition which will outdo Massachu- sgetts can be looked f The state wil! be covered as no other with promi- nent officials speaking for their candi- date and the town will have to be pretty small not to receive attention. | Since heing forced into the fray the | object of the president has been to make the people see the base designs which underlie the opposition to his renomination. In Ohio he has the chance to bear down hard on the Roosevelt allegation of bossism. The Buckeye State is in the grasp of the bosses who are favorable to Roosevelt so that the colonel will probably con- sider them good bosses, the same as he considered the Steel and Harvester trusts, good trusts. With but a few weeks more of the contest the interest is intensified. Each day adds to the strength of President Taft. Roosevelt is losing in Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Tennessee, where he expected to bhe strong. Min- nesota, which had been figured for him, is doing as expected. The presi- dent now has such a commanding lead that it is impossible to consider his being overtaken and Ohio will give him a handsome majority, i It is not to be supposed that the lawyers will permit the Astor will to be executed without having it strued. Such a chance for fat must not be allowed lenged. con- fees to pass unchal- Senator Stone ng to add a new feature to the Congressional Rec- ord when he suggests a cartoon of Roosevelt holding Perkins and Me- Cormick in his hands and Munsey at | his feet. It need cause no surprise when Col. | Roosevelt says he is opposed to the “layton bill for a six-Year term. Any nited rm save life would be too short for a despot. Those cheers given Ismay on his ar- | | in England must have sounded ilce : echioes of the death cries from the Titanie heroes as they drowned | in the Atlantic, Hgppy thought for today:—On the road to ruin the red nose seems -0 blaze the war . PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS. Counting all public scheol teachers, both men and women, high school as well as country teachers, the average annual salary for the whole country is under $500, says Dr. P, P\ Claxton, United States commissioner of educa- tion, in a report issued by that de- partment, The country at large av- erages better than many of the states, for in eleven the salaries do not aver- age 3400, while in eight they are less than $300, and they drop to $250 in two states. There is but one conclusion as the result of these figures, and that is that the calling is one which does not hold out many inducements.” Other statistics show that one-half of the teachers are under the age of 24 and that one-quarter of them did not have over a year's experience. The aver- age length of time which the teachers give to the profession is four years and half of them have only a hign school training or less. This means, of course, that the bet- ter teachers soon rise to the higher salaries if they decide to continue teaching, but the small salaries are sufficient to cause them to leave and seek other and more remunerative work. Impressive is the contrast be- tween some of the salaries paid and the average taken from the country at large. This contrast is evident, of course, between the country and city schools where as a rule qualifications are much different. A BAR TO CITIZENSHIP. If Leonard Olsson of the state of ‘Washington had been an Industrial Worker of the World, who have no respect for the flag and defy law and order, instead of a socialist, it might have been easier to understand the action of Judge Hanford of the United States district court in deny- ing him citizenship. If it is Olsson’s views and not his actions that moved the judge the New York commercial it forth well when it says: If Olsson advocated recourse to arms to bring about a change or re- sistance to due process of law, as the collection of taxes, he is not fit for citizenship. If, however, he simply hed by argument to change men’'s minds to his way of thinking and thus to win over a majority of all the vot- ers in the United States to socialism, his exciusion was unlawful and un- just, “To say that a man's views, apart from his acts, regarding political questions should debar him from citi- zenship would threaten the liberty of the subject. Once establish such a precedent and it might be extended to include those holding certain religious beliefs and opinions regarding the tariff policy of the country. Thig is a land of free speech and any in- fringement on that right is fraught with danger to the state. The dis- tinction between free speech and in- citement to riot, resistance to the law or armed rebellion is clearly -drawn, and was y accurately stated by the court which convicted and sentenced Tom Mann, the English labor leader, to six months' imprisonment for in- citing soldiers to mutiny.” If Olsson is to suffer for his desire to improve government as he sees it there are some presidential candidates who are fortunate in being relieved of the necessity of securing citizen's papers.

'“I t'ink me our goot mutter from Crefleld, on de Mo- selle river, would lofe to haf us wait for her in Some yon place like to dese Sandt Forrk—eh, Franz?” “Ja, Jal I vish dat mutter vas here mit us now. But she coom; yess, she coom—soom day; we do not expect when.” The semiwild semirural scene this “old country” German couple iooked upon from their cabin door pleased them much at first, even before the cabin was built; and it continued to please them more as thelr industry reared about them the sweet, primitive comforts of a new world home. It was in the Sand Fork valley, where the bottom land widens out, and where now, half a century later, the oil and gas wells of this West Virginia fleld thicken in number near the pipe line pumping station at this thriving town of Layopolls, Branch pipe lines there unite in a larger one that cleaves the red hills toward a great main ar- tery of gas and liguid fuel supply, that pulses toward Pittsburg and Cincin- natl, 300 miles away. “It iss goot to be here,” Bertha kept saying. “I t'ink me our goot mutter from Crefield would like for us to wai for her in some von place like to diss. Eh, mine Franz?"’ Like already good Americans, they conversed together brokenly in infirm United States “talk,” preferring it to) the dear old language they were trying to leave behind with the mother, who still remained by the vine flourishing Moselle, To state that Franz thought the same as Bertha is but to state a truism, impossible to argue against. In that part of what was then old Virginia, the rich, alluvial soil could be had almost for the asking. 8o it came about that in less than two years from the day when they were married in the gray Lutheran church on the Moselle, this frugal pair were strenuousiy liv- ing the “simple life” on the banks of Sand Fork, happy as the spring pe- wees that nested in the interstices of the “stick and mortar” chimney al- most before the ‘“daubing” was dry. The present head of the house spells his name Frank Bush, but it is the same name and much the same face as his grandsire bore when the coun- try was new. Frank Bush has a son at the West Virginia state university, he more than half owns the narrow gauge railroad that still penetrates the valley, where it was surveyed three years after Franz and Bertha settled there, though it is now one of the feed- ers of a mighty trunk lme, Besgides farming, Franz made wages as a laborer; Bertha took the railway laborers to board. With German thrift, their vegetables and otner farm pro- ducts minimized their store bills. They thrived after the old time way, and were content and happy. Children tbegan to arrive at intervals to chee the exiles., There was a Franz No. (The present Frank would be No. for the ‘spelling.) Then came ithat,then twins. What jo¥. Not two boys or two girls, but a boy and a girl. They were named Johannes and Margherita. John and Maggie some of these twins' descendants now call themselves. When the twins were old enough to be interested in the new railroad build- ing, a steam shovel was working away {at excavations, and a huge pile driver was pounding in the foundations for the nearby bridge, where the poured into the Little Kanawha river. Before Gottlieb, the next in succession, could creep about, two trains daily were runmning past.enlivening the round | of daily life at the Busche farm. Houses being then few and far be- tween, the train hands soon began to take an interest in the isolated log house, with its bright dooryard flowers and clean, wholesome looking children, who always saluted the trains with little, wood burning, pufing locomotive passed. At times the hands or a pas- senger would throw out something to the little fellows—an apple, a cake, some candy, or a rare picture paper. and received with exceeding joy. trainmen acquired the habit of con- ferring and receiving these amenities with almost equal zest, as the shackly cars rumbled past. Only one thing worried Frau Busche, the fear that one of the smallest of the ever growing crop of girls and boys might be run over. But the voungsters escaped, and the friendly engineer always whistled the warnings of his approach. One day the noon freight, going slow- 1y up the grade from the bridge, mov- ed slower than usual, and Dan Varner, the “tall braky,” swung off with a big splint crate covered with cotton net- ting. Waving a signal to go, he swung back on, leaving the crate beside the track. Out came the children, as usu- al, and the hands laughed from the disappearing train as they saw the Busche youngsters evince amazed de- light at the sight of a fat, shaggy St. Bernard puppy, & month or two old, a real prize of a puppy, especially to chil- dren in that lonely section, After that “Fritzy,” the puppy, always made one of the juvenile group that greeted the trains. Fritzy grew apace. By the time that Maxmilian, the latest addition to the Busche olive branches, could crawl to the daily rendezvous at the train—lo! Tritzy was a “grown-up” in dogdom. He was, perhaps, somewhat clumsy but a very glant of a St. Bernard; good- natured, intelligent, courageous, peace- able. When the sunny summer days ! came, who so careful a playfellow for baby Max as Fritzy? The other larger children being now required at tasks in the house or the fields, baby and dog were often left alone together on the grass before the house and yard. Then, one day, came the welcomeé news from the old country home over sea that, very soon, Frau Bertha’s own mother would arrive to make her fu- ture home with her daughter. For many months, even years, such sav- ings as could be spared were s across to swell the little hoard which the “grandmutter” had been putting by to enable her to come to the new | world home. Enough at last {raised. The last half yearly told Bertha that the .aged woman would start on one of the Baltimore packets then sailing from North sea ports. On his next trip to Weston, Franz bade the railroad agent to look ! out for Frau Hoorn when she arrived, and send word by the narrow gauge | train so that Franz might go for her {in his wagon. | Great joy and expectation! Aha! The grandmutter was at last to be here. BEven Max seemed to under- stand, and grew more determined than ever, being a lusty child, to crawl be- yond the gate when the daily trains | were expected. It was now the busy planting sea- son; there were many extra things to do, that the grandmutter might find the new home cheerful. Max and | Fritzy were left together much more { than usual. And then—it all happened | }her. and she wants a divorce because { he insisted she should spend $1,000 a | month on dress.

THE ARRIVAL OF FRAU HOORN creek | shoutings and hat swingings, as the| Always it was run after, scrambled for | The | one fine day, when the children had gone to the swamp for wild flowers to decorate the spare room. Twice a week they had done this for a month. “We' want the grandmutter to feel much at home when she arrives,” ex- plained Bertha to certain curious neighbors, “Mooch flowers she -lofe- Jal” The “afternoon passenger,” due to pass at about 2, found the grass-plot almost deserted, but not quite, Franz and Bertha 2d and the twins were in the swamp; the mother was busy in the kitchen; Franz senior had gone to Weston, his trips being almost daily. When the whistle blew for the bridge Frau Bertha spared a moment to run to the front door, and was horror- struck at what she saw. Baby Max was not safe inside the gate, or even on the outside grass; but he was seated between the rails, play- ing with the e¢rushed rock ballast, which sparkled with bits of mica thai had been freshly spread along the road-bed a day or two before. On leav. ing the bridge a sudden curve hid Max from the engineer until, with the old style hand brakes, it was impossible to stop in time, though Jo Hirsch siz- naled shrilly, velled, waved and witn his fireman did what he could. Max, his back to the cow-catcher, was vaguely frightened at the noise and ‘jarrings, but made no move other than to set up a lusty crying. Frau Bertha ran, but her limbs were trem- bling. No earthly power, to ‘her, seemed able to save her child. “Ach, Jo Hirsch,” she screamed. “My Max! My lidle Max—" On the other side of the cab Hirsch was yelling, gesticulating, as the re- luctant engine slid on and on. Fritzy, staring at this double pan- tomime, seemed to catch the idea; for, with a‘frantic howl, he lumbered back to where Max had by this time start- ed to crawl and had fallen flat. Fritzy seized his companion in a pair of strong jaws, anywhere, anyhow, but fortunately only by the clothing, and [ pulled the screaming child over the irails just as the remorseless engine glided past. Yards further on Hirsch stopped that engine. Frau Busche, almost col- lapsing, reached the spot when the train stopped. The other children were also coming, screaming, from the swamp, scattering flowers as they ran. “Ach! Dat Jo Hirsch!” said Bertha in telling of it afterwards. “Eet vos de express; but he get him down from his inchine, undt he hug our Max; undt almos’ hug Fritzy teo, mit de tears roonin’ down hiss face. He don’t spik von worrd; but he det right pack on bat inchine, undt he blow dat istle, undt off dat train again go like it was in pigger horry as it vas pe- fore.” At this point Frau Bertha would usually stop to laugh out of sheer de- light over the unlooked-for climax. “All at vonce,” she would add, “undt vhiles 1 was still half crazy some von to me say in good old coun Deutsch: ‘My tear daughter, why you been for ,cry so? 1 look den.

X There is a kind of accuracy that is offensive ha Besides, information is pure bluff. 1 read somewhere of a man that gained a great reputation for know- ledge. By and by he had the whole town terrorized. “Do you know how many nails there are in that bridge?” most exact he would say. “Just 19,723. If you don't believe it, count 'em. There are just 724,666 fishes in the river be- tween here and the next town. Your head has 76,942 hairs on it. The blood of your body contains 7,000,001 corpus- cles, 964,000 red and the rest white; 67,000,003 stars are visible.” In addition to this he would study up a lot of real statistics and spring them upon company. In consequence he became as annoy- ing as a pinching bug. It is well to know that the know- ledge of facts is no part of social equipment. When people a vou for exact data they don’t want to be told. To know how to pronounce every disputed word, to be able to supply every date, to remember the precise words and details of every incident is to qualify for the office of City Bore. To feign ignorance is a surer way of securing friends than either to feign or to possess too much information. | OTHER VIEW POINTS can ask no better against Mr. Taft ither of them are speecl each othe New The democr; campaign material or Mr. Roosevelt, if nated, than the made against the Haven Union.

What a Traveler Has Seen.

Seen that same man return and throwing all this to the wind get down into dirty ward and te politics and be defeated by his own gang. Have seen him divide his party that had honored him and loved him, seen him ride the steam roller over the leaders and laugh at the act. Have seen him cry for mercy when the same steam roller was crushing him and his friends under the same engineer. Have seen articles written against a man of wealth whose conduct gave his wife cause for divorce, and inside of two years the same papers were full of praise for his show of bravery in going down with the ship rather than occupy a seat by the side of his new wife while a woman or child could be found to go. Have seen the greed for gold so strong in a young man that he would hold messages to Joved ones on -shore telling of the safety or loss of loved ones in the ship ‘that he might for dollars sell his story. Have seen the leading men of the nation fall out and tell things about one another that they might influence votes.
