JVO. 3
SENATORS HAVE THEIR
EARS TO THE GROUND.
Reason: Adoption cf 17th
Amendment to Federal CongU
tiicn for Popular Election.
Washington, April 19th. For
the first time iti the history of
the body to which they belong,
United State Senators haver their
ear to the ground. They want
to know what the people of th?
country think about tin tariff.
The reason for thia is to be
found in the adoption of the lat
ent amendment to the Constitu
tion which provides for the popu
lar election of Senator. The
Senate has become a representa
tive body, theoretically, at leasit.
In reality it may not be as it will
be after the people have had a
chance at it. Iut constructively it
. i m
is now a close to Uie masses oil
the people as in the House
ilepreMMitativcs.
No longer is the Senate the
saucer into winch the not ieHjs..veraI jaonths. ago. K

Thxty-two For Re-elcction

condirioii next year, and thirty

Hence: it Is olnioiw why Sen-
ators of both parties and from all terestiug cases recently dec'nbnl
sectioiiN of the country are anx-jby the Supreme Court. It U a
iou.s to learn what the people majority exprc.viion. though. .1 us
think of the schedules et:ibl sh-1 tiees Brown and Walker dient
ed in the runlerw(XMl bill. They ii'-g. while .Justices AII. ji and
would far rather know what the
peojJe think of that measure be
fore they vote on it than after
they have voted. Accordingly
they are. Kecking information from
every passible source that will
give thiiu a line on the popular
opinion of the Underwood bill.
They are reading the newspaper
and they are studying the resolu
tiona and letters ami telegrams j
that are ixmrinir in uikiii them
with reference, t Uiat measure.
Indeed, they are urging their
constituents to write to them, ex
pressing freely and frankly their
views on the tariff quttion. If
Mr. Con.sLituent doe not ap
prove the Underwood bill, Mr.
Senator wants t-o know that fact,
and the best way he can get that
information Ls In a personal letter
from Mr. Constituent.
Therefore it is up to Mr. Con
stituent io write to his senators
and toll thtm just what he thinks
of the l'n b-rwood bill. The sen
ftUis will thus be able to repre
sent the wishes ( i' their icop!c
wheit they vote uhkii the bill,
and will be less likely to make
mistakes which they may have
trouble eXpli'liing when they pi
back tf' their slates and ask for
the cndelcliK lit of a re-elccti. 11

thct he elid mot have the slightest
doubt that every fourth-cl.kss

Mr. Godwin Kiii,l tliat Post

"I am in f ivor (f filing every
fourth-class jtostoiffice in the
United States with Democrats,"
said Mr. Godwhi. "If filling
thes- offices with Democrat will
place me in the class of the
'spoilsman,' then I am a 'spoils

Mr. Godwin said if the wt
master general had left th slight
