ELECT SEHATQRS BY DIRECT VOTE PLEA 0F STATES Petitions for Such Amendment To Constitution Has Been Received From Thirty-one States.

WILL CONGRESS HEED CALL OF THE NATION

It Is Now Being Asked If the National Assembly Will Take Action Desired at the Next Session. Washington, D. C, Oct. 8. Thirtyone states of the Union two-thirds of the sisterhood have spoken through their legislatures In favor of an amendment to the Federal Constitution providing for the election of senators by direct vote. Thirty-one states compose the number requisite under Article V, of the constitution for the calling of a convention by congress to propose amendments to the great American charter. Thirty-one states the constitutional two-thirds have carried out the spirit of the prescribed call for amendment, whether or not they have, as a whole, adhered to the strict letter of the provision for securing a change in the organic law. Will congress, at its coming session heed the call? The query is pertinent to a presentation of facts which hitherto seemed to have been overlooked in their fullness even by those who are deeply concerned with the direct election propaganda. Have a Majority. Technically, only twenty-six states have applied to congress for the calling of a constitutional convention, but five others, according to the official records obtainable here, have expressed the underlying desire which is contained In the formal demand of the others, by adopting resolutions urging the submission of an amendment on the question of the direct election of senators. There is no mistaking the fact, therefore, that the proportion of states In the Union which the fathers decreed should make It Incumbent on the congress to act have filed' their petition. In other words, two-thirds of the states In the Union want United State3 senators elected by direct vote of the people, and the question is: "Can congress be made to feel the moral obligation of presenting the opportunity for three-fourths of the states to say whether an amendment to the constitution by an overwhelmingly popular sentiment shall be ratified?" . Submitted by Resolution. Possibly because there is no precedent for the submission of amendment to the machinery of a convention called on application of the states, laxity has resulted in the phrasing of the resolutions which legislatures have adopted in expression of their desire. All of the amendments thus far proposed for adoption have been submitted by resolution of Congress and ratification has been in every instance by state legislatures instead of through state conventions. The proposed amendment to provide for an income tax Is now before the country for ratification, as in the case of the amendments that have preceded and originated in the same manner, by a joint resolution of both houses of congress. Alabama, by adopting a resolution

which was approved August 3 of the

present year, has completed the list of SI states, which, from the records to

be found here, have demanded an

amendment for the popular election of

senators. Ohio Is Missing. Here are the 30 states which have formally applied to Congress for the calling of a constitutional convention: Arkansas, Minnesota, Utah, Kansas, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, South Dakota, Idaho, Washington, North Carolina, Tennessee, Montana, Nevada, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, Oregon, Louisiana, Colorado, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Jersey. Nine of these states Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Indiana, Washington, North Carolina, Iowa, Louisiana and Oklahomamake their request for a convention for the general purpose of submit-

When a man or woman finds sickness coming on, such as indigestion, weak eyes, kidney trouble, etc. it is time some attention is given to the subject of food and drink. In practically all such cases where coffee or tea is the drink, one can obtain relief by quitting the coffee or tea and taking Postum. He leaves off a drink that is an active producer of disease and takes in its place a powerful liquid food that contains elements for rebuilding the nerve centres which have heretofore been torn down.

CITY IN BRIEF

1 Queen Alexandria of England is (credited with having been the means

of emancipating English and American children from many foolish and uncomfortable fashions. At the time of her marriage to the heir of the English throne, children in fashionable families were rarely seen outside their nurseries, but when the young Danish princess began to keep her children about her and to have her picture taken holding them in her arms the fashion changed and devoted motherhood became the hallmark of American and English smartness. She also had her sons clothed in comfortable sailor suits and her two daughters.
