Every legislative scandal like the ono which is now being aired in Springfield, 111., is an argument for the election of United States senators by direct popular vote. The people are dissatisfied. Under present conditions the upper branch of congress is not only out of sympa? thetic touch with the masses, but the gulf of separation Is constantly widen? ing, due to the venal methods by which senatorial seats are secured. Such a condition of affairs was cer? tainly not contemplated by the farm? ers of the constitution. Our fore? fathers were strongly Impressed wdth the representative Idea. They believ? ed Implicitly in the rights of the peo? ple to rule. But they did not forsee the use to which money would be employed in bribing state legislatures. On Tuesday last, following Senator Lormler'a dramatic speech of self defense against the charge of having purchased his toga, Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, made an able plea for popular elections. The senator's reasons for support? ing this reform measure were live fold: 1. To make the senate more re? sponsive to the will of the people. 2. To prevent corruption of legis? latures. 3. To prevent deadlocks in legis? latures. 4. To popularise government. .". To increase the confidence of the people in the senate. By way of retrospect, Senator Owen reminded his colleagues that not less; than four times the house of rop 1 resentatives had passed the proposed amendment, ami that each time the measure had been defeated in the sen? ate. Me also called attention to the fact that states of the Union have ex? pressed themselves in one form or another favorably to the lection of tenators by direct vote. M.- quoted platforms of various politician! organizations, Including the Democratic parte, the Independence party, the Prohibition party and the New York Democratic league, all de? manding the popular election of sen store. Moreover, he declared that resolu? tions had i een passed i>y bodies rep? resenting more thin 12,000,000 work? ers, or nearly half the adult popula t ion of t p.- United St: tes. ?>n the basis of th s exhibit, it is unite evident thai the majority of the i.pie desire the election of senators by popular vote, And in View of the legislative scan? dals with whicp the reading public has been n . i w Ithln the past few w eeks d rojju; 'os no prophetic ken to diso? rn m the prest nt drift of things an Increased momentum of public - - titlm< nt in f.i\or of this much-need ? cd n form. So fgr the new King hasn't done anything to the Poet Laureate.
