Always Two Sides.

Many seem to think that there Is but a single side to the question of electing senators by direct vote of the people. The National Civic Federation recently undertook to get an expression of the popular sense on this subject. They held a kind of refer, endum and, in reply to their inquiries, received a great many replies. There are two sides to every question and they ascertained that there were two also to this. Mrs. Hanna Omeger of New York city, according to Law Notes, recently recovered 1750 damages for injuries sustained by an icicle falling from a tank on top of the defendant's building through the skylight of her bouse and striking the good dame on the crown of her head. She was not only knocked senseless, but was Interrupted in the midst of her dinner, which, when she recovered, had grown cold. For all of these things she asked 915,000 damages. ■ - I - --- Professors George F.
