Direct Election
of Senators
Washington, D. G, June 13. The
senate last night, by a vote of 64 to
24, passed the following resolution
with regard to an amendment to
the Constitution to provide for the
election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people:
"That in lieu of the first para
graph of Section 3 of Article 1 of
the Constitution of the United States
and in lieu of so much of paragraph
two of the same section as relates
to the filling of vacancies, the fol
lowing be proposed as an amend
ment to the Constitution, which
shall be valid to all intents and
purposes as part of the Constitution
when ratified by the Legislatures of
three-fourths of the States.
"The Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two Senators
from each State elected by the peo
ple thereof, for six years; and each
Senator shall have one vote. The
electors in each State shall have the
qualifications requisite for electors
of the most numerous branch of
the State Legislatures.
"When vacancies happen in the
representation of any State in the
Senate, the executive authority of
such State shall issue writs of elec
tion to fill such vacancies: Provided
that the Legislature of any State
may empower the Executive there
of to make temporary appointments
until the people fill the vacancies
by election as the Legislature may
direct.
"This amendment shall not so
construed as to effect the election
or term of any Senator chosen be
fore it becomes valid as part of the
Constitution." ,
Just before the close of the last
congress a similar amendment was
passed by a majority vote, but was
counted as lost because it did not
secure the necessary two thirds vote.
The majority at last night's vote
was more than two thirds.
The house has already passed, by
the necessary two-thirds vote, a
resolution providing for the direct
election of senators; but the house
resolution differs materially .from
the senate' resolution. The house
resolution contains a clause cur
tailing the power of the National
Government with regard to elec
tions; when the matter came up in
the senate, an amendment was
offered by Senator Bristow (cor
responding to the Sutherland
amendment offered in the last con
gress) to leave the powers of the
National Government as they al
ways have been. This Bristow
amendment was adopted by the
casting vote of the Vice-President.
The whole resolution now goes into
conference, and it is not certain
how the matter will be decided.
If both branches of congress shall
agree on the same form of resolu
tion and pass it by the necessary
two-thirds vote, the question will
then be submitted to the legislatures
of the several states; and If two
thirds of the legislatures shall favor
theamendment.it will become a
part of the Constitution.

Hendersonville, as Usuai,
Fares Belter than Most
Places
The first half of this month lias
presented some remarkble weather
conditions. A hot wave of quite
unusual intensity has been prevalent
throughout a very large area, and
various records have been broken.
Yuma, Ariz., recorded a tempature
of 110. Nearer home, Raleigh had
to undergo an official temperature
of 100, which means a real tempera
ture of severals degrees higher. At
Asheville, the government thermom
eter in the kiosk on the square reg
istered 103; but there is another
government thermometer in Ashe
ville which is used for publication
purposes, and that is not "on the
square." According to that in
strument, which is located in mid
air above the city, the temperature
was held down to 92; but as Ashe
ville folks are not aviators, the
street temperature of 103 was of
more importance to their feelings
than the mid-air record. Similar
allowances must be made for the
figures given out for a number of
3f,
pay-stations where the instruments
are suspended at great altitudes.
In Hendersonville, the instru
ments are kept in a little slatted
case only a few feet from the ground,
and the maximum figures recorded
are five or six degrees higher .than
the highest ordinary shade temper
ature. But in snit. of thisdiffer
ence in obtaining records, which
makes a comparison unfair to us,
Hendersonville can stand a com
parison very well. The following
table gives the mean and minimum
temperatures for the twenty-four
hours ending at 6 a. m. Monday
morning, the hottest twenty-four
hours of this month:
mean minimum
Atlanta 85 74
Augusta 88 78
Charleston 85 76
Charlotte 86 74
Phoenix 87 74
Raleigh 86 72
Savannah 86 76
Wilmington 84 74
Hendersonville 78 61
As human comfort and vitality
depend very largely on the ability
to sleep, it is important to note that
according to the above table, the
night temperature here on the
warmest night the of year was from
11 to 16 degrees lower than at the
other places named.

Asheville
Liquor Seized
A raid recently made on Main
street resulted in the seizure of a
very large amount of whiskey and
other beverages. The amount is es
timated at 2,000 gallons or more. It
is stated that the goods were not on
sale here, but that belonged to a well
known Asheville operator and were
sent here for temporary storage
while the owner was finding out
whether he would have to go to the
roads or not.
Asheville is proverbially thirsty,
and the people who cater to that
town's craving make pretty big
money in the intervals between their
terms on the chain-gang. But our
folks have a strong and justifiable
objection to any attempt on the part
of our northern neighbor to use Hen
dersonville for storage purposes. We
have already had more than enough
trouble with Asheville operators,
and they would do well to turn their
peculiar talents in some other direction.
