That Is Why Those Favoring Pop

ular Election of Senators Have Organized. MOVE HAS BEEN GIVEN A START Des Moines Conference Decides on a Plan of Campaign. Will Urso Stato Legislatures to De mand a National Constitutional Convention to Change the Government. Des Moines?, la., Dec. 7. The In terstate senatorial amendment conference has adjourned, but before adjourn ing it arranged for the perpetuation of its work by completing a permanent organization which will conduct a cam paign to secure from congress a call for a constitutional convention to consider the entire matter. Thomas A. Cheshire, of Des Moines, In., was rained chairman of an executive com mittee of five to take charge of the movement. His associates are Thomas J. Kernan. of Ixniisiana: Frank C. Goudy, of Colorado; W. K. Ellis, of Oregon, and C. M. Kimbrough, of In diana. Duty of the Committee. The work of this committee1 and the new organization will be directed towards securing from the thirty-seven Plate legislatives that meet this win ter, demands upon congress for the calling of a constitutional convention. to which the conference unanimously committed itself. The organization ohose for itself the name of the "Interstate Senatorial Convention," and Representative Strode, of Nebraska, is Its first president Would Avoid the Convention. The conference prefers not to have a constitutional convention. If congress acts and submits this specific amendment to the state then the convention will be dissolved; If congress continues to refuse to do this then the movement to secure a constitutional convention will be prosecuted vigorously. More Control by the People, The preamble of the resolutions declaring the object of the conference say that "It Is the judgment of this convention that the legislative branch of the .ational government should be placed more directly under the control of the people of the several states," and that "there exists, and has long existed, n strong popular demand for the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people; and said demand Is. in the opinion of this convention well founded." Senate Is in the Way. It declares that "The constitution of the United States provides only two methods whereby the provision respecting the election of United States senators may be changed;" that "the method ordinarily adopted of congress on It" own initiative submitting to the several states a proposed amendment has heretofore been Ineffective, owing to the refusal of the United States ppnate to submit such proposed amend ment to the several states." Therefore there Is only left the alternative of ap pealing to the states to demand that such a convention be called, and this conference proposes to prosecute a movement to secure that demand. 8TCCK TO ONE SUBJECT Attempt to Embrace United States Jndges Is Sat Upon. An attempt was made on the part of Flatt Ilubbell, a delegate from Missouri, at the session of the resolutions committee to get the committee to report a resolution favoring the election of United States Judges by vote of the people also, but the committee voted against the proposal. The executive committee was instructed to "prepare an address to the legislature of each state that has not heretofore acted on the subject, requesting the adoption of such resolutions as may be presented from time to time by this convention, and to urge upon the states of Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota. Montana, Nebraska, Nevada. New Hampshire. North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon. Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, which have already acted, to renew and. continue their efforts to the end that the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people may soon be an accomplished fact. "That said executive committee shall take such other steps as this convention may decide, or as It may deem proper and advisable, to further the cause represented by this convention." The delegations of the conference were entirely harmonious and all of its final actions were practically unanimous. In all twelve states were represented by thirty-three delegates.

Mechanical Engineers Want the Discussion, Even, of Their Adoption Abolished.

NO ADVANTAGE IN THE CHANGE "Well-NIgh Impossible to Make, Too, They Say One "Hot One" for President Roosevelt, New York, Dec. 7. That the system of weights and measures now in use in the United States and Great Britain should not le supplanted by the metric system is the opinion of a majority of the delegates who are now in this city in attendance at t.ne convention or tue American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The expression of opinion was made in the general discussion which followed the residing of a paper upon the subject "Weights and Measures" by Henry P. Towne, of New York, at the session of the convention. The discussion developed almost a unanimous sentiment in favor of the present system, possibly with slight modification. Change Well-Nlgh. Impossible. It was said that it would be wellnigh impossible to effect a change, even If the metric system were made the legal system, and that it would disrupt business and disturb the title of every foot of land between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Towno's paper was largely devoted to discussion of the various measures which have been introduced in con gress from time to time, and an argument in favor of a technical commission to Investigate and report to congress, that there may be an end to ceaseless agitation. Nothing To Re Gained. He held that the only thing to be gained from the metric system was decimal notation, but this had alrendy been adopted in this country in manufactures, and no change from grain, inch or gallon was necessary. A paper on the same subject prepared by S. E. Dale not only opposed any ciiange In the svstem of weights and measures but declared ttiat the further discus slon of it In congress would be value less. valueless. Doesn't IJke the Simplified." He then "took a whack"' at Theodore Roosevelt, declaring that Towno's proposed commission would be a "political commission." "dominated by a president who has tried to change the language of the country by an executive order," and tliat he would be better satisfied to leave it to a commission composed of 90.000,000 people of the United States; that the desirability was not for laws on the subject, but somehow to keep laws off the statute books interfering with the present system. He said all the agitation came from a few scientists, and that the bulk of the newspaper discussion was based on an utter lack of knowledge as to whether they were writing of a metric or a decimal system. Woman Scholar Vins Honor. Mrs. Agnes Lewis, of England, is said to be the only woman who has received the degree of D. D., which has been conferred upon her in recognition of her labors in deciphering some ancient manuscripts of the bible which were discovered in a monastery on Mount Sinai. She is regarded as the most famous woman bible scholar in the world. Permanent Cure. After a man has been cured of a diseaso for five years he is certainly permanently cured. A letter received from Mr. H. P. Shoemaker, R. F. D., No. 4, Muncie, Ind., illustrates this fully. He states: "I happend to notice one of recent advertisements. I want to let you know what your remedy done for me five years ago. I could not eat, sleep or rest. Physicians and medicines afforded me absolutely no relief. I be came so thoroughly di3gusted I refused to take medicine for a period of pos sibly a year. A neighbor of mine, be lng in the same condition, was relieved of his trouble by the use of Quaker Herb Extract. I thought I would take one more chance, and bought a bottle, The renei was so quick tnat l continued using it for six weeks. Since that time I have used no medicine In any form whatever; there Is a differ ence of 30 pounds in my weight, I am stronger and healthier than I ever was before, my mind is clear and I feel fine."
