Whatever efficacy there may be In I the Invitation extended by Joint reso- I lutlon of the Iowa legislature to a con- I ference of persons designated by the governors of the several states to pro- mote action by state legislatures In I favor of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, It Is one among multiplying signs of the growing popular demand for the adoption of that method. The partlc- nlar Influence of such a conference will depend much upon the extent to 1 which the governors of the various states respond to the Invitation and upon the number and character of their appointees who attend. It has been demonstrated to be prac tically Impossible to secure a proposal to amend the present constitutional provision for election of senators by the concurrence of two-thirds of fcoth houses of congress. . The alternative method .requires . the application to work well forward before the close of congress of the legislatures of two- his term of office, and while no other thirds of the states for a convention duty will be neglected, the adjourn to propose amendments, which would ment of congress will only mark re not be adopted until ratified by the doubled effort on his part In that dl- legtslatures or conventions of three-1 fourths of the states.. Many state leg islatures already at one time or an- ulu" '" rcouiuuuue making the appropriate application to congress, and the rapid increase of the number of such legislatures recently shows that public sentiment Is pro gressing toward a point at which, with proper organization and co-operation, the condition may be established re quiring congress to call an amend ment convention. It would of course still remain, auer me amendment naa been submitted, to secure us ratinca- tlon by three-fourths of. the states. r t a j i ass) ...ii s at- a I long ana uiincuit n tae way to i constitutional amendment that popu lar effort is directed more and more to secure the nearest possible approach to it through legal or voluntary party prlmarles, without waiting for change of the constitution. And already. In an Increasing number of states the moral obligation Is thus accepted as binding on members of the legislature to vote for senatorial candidates nom-i tnated by poll of the party member-' ship. While an Improvement, this clr-1 cultous method falls short of the bene fits of compulsory constitutional pro vision, which would be effective In ali states alike, but wherever it has leen iainy tried tne result nas been to cryata,tze "ntlment In favor of the Iuu con"lu"on cnange. SPEAKER CAXNoys ULTIMATUM. Speaker Cannon's ultimatum to the senate that there shall be no agree- ment to adjourn until the rate control, meat inspection and pure food bills have all been passed, it Is reasonably believed, will speedily Insure more conclusive action than there has been during the last week- It .iaian.. old scheme of the senate or of .influential senatorial cliques for getting virtual control of legislation In the late stages et a session to secure an adjournment agreement while Important measures are still pending. It Is then often In tne Pwer oI mall group of senators ,n1 "onUn' . of a single sena- or' bcua ot the peculiar rules and curty. to force the assent of an un- willing house to forms of legislation on pain of defeating measures of vast I Importance. A disposition has 'been manifested In the senate to get things In precisely that shape in. the wind-up of the present session, the rate bill be- ing among the measures that have been suspiciously held In suspension and both the meat Inspection and the pure food bills being also obstinately deadlocked. 8peaker Cannon's notice to the sen- ate therefore forces the alternatives of passing tbe three measures which are agreed to be of greatest Importance or of remaining Indefinitely In session. With these regularly disposed of, It ts assumed that agreement could at once be reached to adjourn on a certain I future day, which might possibly per- mlt tbe passage of the immigration bill and several other measures of large importance. But the anxiety of mem- bers of congress to get away Is such that In no event could a quorum long be held after the three measures in- eluded In Speaker Cannon'a ultimatum are passed. PRESIDENT AltO THE CAXAL. The interesting fact is given out from reliable, Washington ' sources that no sooner will congress have adjourned than th. nrMnt wtit Af - energy to pushing the Panama canal enterprise forward. The decision to make a lock Instead of a sea level canal, although vitally Important at this juncture, in nowise removes out of the way the difficulties, which are of uiubi lormiasuis cnaracisr ana re- quire not only the highest engineering skill and courage, but also every ad- minlstratlve power that can be brought to bear, and the president's plans con- iouiy.au. iu supreme srilOB on nis own part which he exacts from all ho are concerned with the canal work. No such locks were ever constructed " the general scheme calls for. 900 feet long, ninety feet wide and forty re1 aeP- 10 commodate great ocean 0,' "ua r" " oouoie nignts or tnree iocks eacn. involving o'otion or nitnerto unsolved construe- t,on P"blms. But these immense locks, as to tbe security and working of which engineers are not agreed, are I by no means as serious a problem as 1 that presented by the stupendous dsmslfiom the "rotation" outrage from sev I which are necessary to control two I great rivers, subject to tropical floods, I whose courses run athwart the canal route. While the outline of the plans for the locks' and dams have been drawn, many important questions re- mala to be settled regarding them, not to speak of a variety of matter con cernlng other parts of .the historic work, each If considered by itself of treat magnitude. The president real Itea that the a u roe as of the undertake Ins depends , In large part on the prompt and correct settlement of these questions at the start In two essential respects, aside from benefiting by the general experience lof the French on the isthmus, our gov ernmett will have great advantage in prosecuting the work. It will be free from the financial crisis through which the French company frequently passed, for the necessary funds will surely be forthcoming when needed. Then, so far as regard, excavation, of which there Is a vast amount, there has been a marvelous development In machinery the last few years which greatly slm- pllfles and facilitates the task of mere canal digging. It Is known that President Roosevelt has set his heart upon getting the canal fection. the "rotatioX' ballot. It is a well known fact that the "ro- tatlon" ballot for electing delegates to tbe republican state convention at the primary next Tuesday was Inflicted upon the voters of Douglas county for the express purpose of making the marking of the ballots so confusing and burdensome as to disfranchise worklngmen and foreign-born citizens who are suDnosed to be lacking in "In telllgence." It devolves upon working d foreln-bornv voters, there- fo t ahnw fh.t -,. th nnnftc. .a...., and uncalled for obstructions they still have the intelligence to exer cise the elective franchise effectively. To do this every voter must study and underBtand the ballot he Is re- quired to mark. The "rotation" bal lot, according to the court order pro cured by the Fontanelles, Is a ballot In this Instance containing 226 names, ar ranged in one long column, following one another In alphabetical order, but "rotated" so that the particular ballot a voter may receive may begin with any one of the names. For example, the particular ballot handed out may begin with the name "McCague." In that case the other names will follow alphabetically from McCague to "Zlm- man" and then to the first letter of the alphabet and down the A. B. Cs to "McCague" again. To use a sample ballot effectively it should be taken into the booth by the voter and each name for which he wishes to vote checked off as he puts his crossmark opposite it on the offi- clal ballot. After making- his cross- marks the voter should count them to be sure he has voted for eighty-three no more and no less. , If hot makes a mistake he should return his ballot and get a new one, and If he is In doubt about anything he should ask the elec- tlon judge to .help him. Another point for special care Is to avoid confusion by identity of names. There are on the ballot two Adams, of which "James H. Adams" Is the Rose- water delegate. There are six Ander- sons, of which two. "David Anderson" and "Nels J. Anderson." are on the Rosewater ticket. There are two Clarkes. of which "F. N. Clarke" is on the Rosewater ticket. There ere two Coles, of which "W. W. Cole" Is on the Rosewater ticket. There are two Cun- nlnghams, of which "M. O. Cunning- ham" is on the Rosewater ticket. There re two Fosters, of which "William A. Foster" is on the Rosewater ticket. There are three Johnsons, of which w. "George M. Johnson" and "W. Ernest Johnson," are on the Rosewater ticket. There are five Smiths, of which two, "Edward A. Smith" and "Fred L. Smith." are on the Roaewater ticket. There are two Stones, of which "Ben J- 8tone" is on the Rosewater ticket. There are two Willis, of which "E. A. Willis" is on the Rosewater ticket. Wlth grouping of the delegations no difficulty would have been found on this account, but with the voter re- u,rea to make eighty-three crosses to register his choice it Is especially 1m Pant that he avoid being misled by similarity of names The application of the "rotation' ballot scheme to this election of con ventlon delegates is a piece of ballot jugglery perpetrated in the hope of splitting the delegation. To accom plish results Douglas county republic ans ought to send delegates to Lincoln unanimous for the candidate of their choice. It remains for the rank and file of the party to rebuke the rotation ballot tricksters by electing every one of the eighty-three Rosewater del gates. tl. f.n... ... i. aictmnt brought by the late grand ,nrr chareinr fraud udod an election i iisi ibiiui o j i iuu usav ii iai vai u saa offlcer doe, not Bhow up y,ry wel, for the Fontanelles back of the prosecu- .nn In this raaa the. worst that waa rhsrged was that the election judge as sisted a voter to cast his ballot pre cisely ss be wanted it cast. Fonta nelles' success evidently depends on dis franchising qualified voters by "rota- tlo.. b.ol- .nd by oreventlna- them from getting needed assistance 1 margin., their tickets or setting the voting machine. It must be remem bered that people arbitrarily dlsfran chisea at primaries still have votes at ... .wtion I Douglas county taxpayers will bear I eral directions.

But the tax rate cuts no figure with the "rotaters." The water company blames the Water board for delay of the water works appraisement and the Water board blames the water company. A board of arbitrators to settle where the blame really belongs might help to prolong matters a little. Senator Bailey's attack upon Hearst may be his way of making his constit uents forget bis assaults upon Roose velt; for regardless of politics the president has warm admirers In the Lone Star state, as the senator has doubtless discovered.

CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE Father-in-Law's Paper Bays They Will Be for Edward Rose water for Senator Unless Tricked by Manipula tion and Jugglery. World-Herald, April 10, lfo. The esteemed Fremont Herald inform Its reader that the. action of the repub lican state convention. In refusing the re quest of Victor Rosewater that the repub lican voter be allowed to choose the re publican candidate for United Btatea sen ator, "was a death-blow to th senatorial aspirations of Edward Rosewater." The Herald, commenting on tha fact, says that for many year th masses of the republican hare believed In Mr. Rose water as a true anti-monopolist, but they have never been able to control their party convention r had much voice In th leg islative halts. In other words, if the choice were left ROIAD A BO IT KEW YORK. Ripple on the Carrent of Life la the Metropolis. Large forces of husky workmen ar en gaged in th long delayed job of making openings for the escape of the overworked air of th New York subway. All winter long th necessary alterations were de layed, and now the hot weather has brought the people up In arms over the stifling air In the bore th authorltlea have set to work Isj a frensy of haste. The city Is footing the bill for the Im provements, for It was the city that ad vanced the money for the original con struction and the city will come Into pos session of the property at the expiration of th seventy-five-year lesse the Belmont lines now hold on the underground high way. The architects and engineers of the suh wsy evidently took it for granted that the openings at the various stations would be sufficient to provide all the ventilation nec essary, and during the greater portion of the tunnel's lenirth no other alr-glving de vices were arranged. In upper Broadway, however, the parking In the center of the thoroughfare under which the tube runa offered such an unusual opportunity for ventilating shafts several were put In. The necessity of this additional means of bring ing fresh sir Into the tunnel was mad evident last summer, for th upper sub way was from 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the lower end,' while the quality of the atmosphere In the different sections was not to be con-pared at all. The most valuable garden patch on Man hattan Island consists of two beds of let tuce and radishes, each twenty feet square, In the rear of a little one-story wooden house in West On Hundred and Twenty, fourth street, half way between Columbus and Amsterdam avenuea. The house and garden In the rear are flanked on three sides by modern six-story apartment houses, which all but shut out th sun from the garden. The houae occupies only half the frontage of the lot, which gives an xcellent view of the garden from the street. Th little farm house almost brings tears to the eyes of passing real estate men. who realise how much more valuable th ground could be made. Besides Hook mountain on the Hudson, there Is another beautiful bit of scenery lu Nw York stat that Is saved from de struction by the bill signed by Governor Hlgglns Watklns glen, at the ' head of Beneca lake. ,The glen, visited by thou sands, haa bepn rendered accessible by all manner of staircases snd pains tor years. It '. was bought long ago by Andrew H. dreen (th "father of Greater New York") In order to preserve It; and he was also the 'fouhder of the American scenic and hlstorlo preservation society, which has been instrumental In preserving Hook mountain. The state pays for th glen $50,000, Just what Mr. Green paid for it. It la now perpetuated aa a slate park. Detailed plans for the proposed Hudson- Fulton celebration In September, 190ft, have been completed by the committee In charge. The plans Include a naval parade, a land parade, oratory.- the dedication of me morials, the establishment of a park at Inwood with a memorial there, and the establishment of a, state park at Vcr- planCk's point. The plans for the naval parade include representation for the na vies of the Vnlted Btatea, Great Britain and The Netherlands, th merchant marine, excursion boats and yacht clubs. There will alao be fac simile reproduc tions of the Half Moon and Clermont. The government of Holland I reqneeted to fur nlah th reproduction of th Hudson ves sel, and the American steamboat Interests th Clermont. Both ships, It Is proposed, shsll proceed north to Albany, stopping at various points for local celebrations. Th city of New York baa appropriated $1,000,000 to build a magnificent bridge across th Harlem river at th point where It connects with the Hudson. To this sum $1000,000 more will be adaed. The brldnu la a little less than half a mil in length and th central steel arch, 170 feet abov th water, will measure 826 feet. Thl central span Is the largest but one In the world, being only fifteen feet less In length than the arch over Niagara gorge. The broad walks and the smooth driveway will form an Important link In the aystem of parks and driveways that lie scattered over Greater New York. Near on end of the bridge is a knoll 1 thlrty-flv feet In height. On this knoll a statue of Hudson, possibly a model of his historic craft, will carry out the memorial Idea. This feature is to be carried through by popular subscription. Th city hope to hav the structure completed in time for th celebration. Haah Row" I no more. Th last vestiga of it haa been removed from Fifth avenu by the workmen who ar preparing th lot on th avenu opposite th Waldorf- Aatoria for a new building to be devoted to bualneaa. More than thirty years ago Hash Row" was the name applied to the row of red brick houses belonging to th Aator estate, at th place mentioned. They were seised on as long ago by th board ing house keeper and were never after ward uaed for private occupancy. Some times It seems Impossible for houses ever to outgrow this particular use. On house In Gramercy square ha been a boarding house for thlrty-flv years, although th home about It ar private. On Madison avenue, near Thirtieth Street, there ar several houses that hav served even a longer usefulness of this kind. A publisher who occupies a loft In Seven teenth street directed one of his clerks to hang out a "Boy Wanted" algn at the street entrance a few day ago. The card had been swinging In the breese only a few minutes when a red-headed little tad climbed to the publisher's offic with th sign under his arm. "Ssy mister," he demanded of th pub lisher, "did you hang out this her 'Boy Wsnted' sign?" "I did."' replied the publisher sternly. "Why did you tear It down?" Back of his freckles th youngster wa gaslng in wonder at th man's stupidity. "Hully ge!" h blurted. "Why. I'm th boy!" And h wa to tha people. Mr. Rosewater, we are toKl, would be the republican choice for sen ator. The republican voters want him; he Is th preferred candidate of the rank and file. Put th toosses want somebody else, and since the choice I to be left to th4 j tat convention or the legislature in stead of to the people, somebody else will be chosen.

Just at present public attention Is cen tered mainly on tha various efforts being mad to restrain trust abuses through the agercy of the federal government., A re minder of the fact that the Individual states have Important and effective power of their own in this respect Is to be found in court decisions just rendered in Ohio snd Missouri. The proceedings instituted In theaa esses may be considered an inter esting evidence of the general extent and development of the movement now In prog ress against corporate lawlessness. In the Ohio case the defendant trust was a combination of Toledo Ice dealera who were accused of combining In restraint of trade. These dealers were shown to have been working In sgreement to maintain the pries of le at an exorbitant figure. Though they pleaded that they were guilty of only a technical ofrense, the court haa decided that they violated the law and haa Imposed upon each of them a sentence providing a fine of $1,000 and on year'a Imprisonment in the Toledo workhouse. The only way, apparently, in which they ar likely to avoid this punishment Is by accepting the court's proposal that they reduce prices and make restitution to th public of the money Illegally taken. Th Missouri decision la even mote sweeping, for it virtually says that under the state law an Illegal trust may not cot lect debts owing to it. In this case a St. Louis plumbers' supply association, which la held to be a trust, had sued a plumber for th payment of a bill. The state law contains a clause explicitly providing that no purchaser who buys goods from an Ille gal trust shall be liable for payment for them. The court haa upheld the law, de ciding that the plumber need not pay.
