DIRECT ELECTION
OF SENATORS
( Continued from page 1)
190(1 and 1902. The proposed
change on none of these occa
sions won a favorable report
from committees in the Senate, j
With the House thus arrayed
year after year in favor of the
change, the Senate became the
ual fleground. Senator Bristow of
Kansas, look the lead in advocacy
of mt iding the Constitution
along this line. In December,
loop h" introduced bis first res
olution. A year later he obtained
a report from the committee, but.
[a leauiie has been lacked onto
Ins proposal which brought on
a light in the Senate, threatening
to kill the entire proposition. This
interposed feature was to amend
other provisions of ("he Consti
tution so far as to deprive the
federal government of power to
supervise the state regulations as
to the lime and manner of.elec
tions.
On February 28, just before the !
end of the session, the resolu- |
tion was defeated by four voles.
Senator Bristow reintroduced
the resolution in the special ses
sion immediately following. The
light of the preceding session was
refought, but, this time the friends
of the resolution won by a vole
of (5 4 to 2 4, or five more than I he
required two-thirds.
The House had passed a reso
lution which made it. clear the
federal government was not to in
terfere with senatorial elections
in the states. For weeks the
measure was in conference. Fi
nally the House conferees receded
and the House agreed to the Sen
ate measure by a vote of 237 to
39.
Extravagance Not Habit of Rich.
Extravagance, oddly enough, is
not a habit of the rich so much
as it is of the poor. The Midases
and Croesuses in every neighbor
hood are pretty careful of the
dimes. They have a thrifty habit
of squeezing the dollar till the
eagle screams—and not so much
[is it through miserliness as
[through the habit of conserving.
I sav ing. *
! With wealth comes the instinct
j to save.
j Millionaires use the street cars,
or probably walk. People'* with
slender purses loll about in laxi
jeabs. Only the very rich and the
I very poor can afford to dress
j badly, is the saying. Who are
II he people who dine with such
| reckless extravagance after the
'theater in the cities? Among
them arc there many million
aires?
! Not many. They are more like
' |y lu have crackers and milk at
home.

‘ CUBIST ABT.
(By George Fitch.)
Cubist art is that emancipated
expression of the rectilinear peri
pheries of cosmic transcendental
ism which is best enunciated in
passionate planes.
If the reader does not under-I
stand (his explanation, lie should |
be ashamed of himself. That the!
wrilor hasn’t the slightest idea of j
what iI. means is quite another j
matter. For I hat. is the true in-;
tensiveness of cubist aid. Any!
fool ean paint a picture which lie j
understands, hut only a genius !
can paint a picture which causes!
him, when it is finished, in clutch j
his cascading hair with hull) ;
hands and explain wildly: "What j
ailed me when I a<.mplished
that?"
Thus, eubisl art is llie ques
tion of the puzzled painter In the
intelligent observer. The paint-!
er, having' had a picture, and!
wishing |o have it diagnosed be'- i
fore be lias another, exhibits it. |
It is then the duty of the observ- i
er to interpret it. Under the cub- j
list system Hie same picture can j
[be interpreted in 11,000 different ;
[ways. One picture may re [ire- \
sent, to the trained observer, not
only the battle of Waterloo, and
the eruption of Vesuvius, but also
a composite picture of the presi
dents and I Ik* great lumber jam
at Chippewa Falls. The beauty of
the system becomes at once ap
parent. By buying one picture,
the investor can secure an entire
art gallery, and can enjoy it for
years, merely changing the sub- !
jject lag every morning, and vary- j
ing his drinks a little each even- ■
ing.
I Oiiiisf arl is cxplaint'd at ;
| length by tin- cubist, IjiiI tin: arl!
is so iniit'ii simpler Ilian the ex
! planal ion that unless the com- ;
jposilor will kindly pi a line al this
|point, the said explanation will
| not he reproduced.
| To paint cubist pictures re
! quires great genius and self-re
straint. The painter must ahan
jdon all previous ideas of art. na
jture and religion and paint as
nearly as possible in straight
lines. This can best he done in
the ordinary straight jacket, so
popular in our leading institu
tions for the regulation of ad
vanced and explosive thought.
The Setting Hen.
\ The hi hen sit*, with feathers
! ruffled, upon her hunch of four
teen eggs; for three long weeks
(she hasn't scuffled around the
!yard oil scratching legs, Stp-’s
tended strictly to tier knit ling —
fidelity's the old hell's boast; by
day and night still b*inding. sli
ding. tlie martyr mother at her
post. And now the I ime has come
' for hateliing, and soon I he old
hen, swelled with pride, around
the dooryard will be scratching,
her Unify 'offspring at her side.
Then mark, <) mark her guard and
cherish the welfare of her little
(lock. Hefore she'd set'll one
jehicken perish, slic’d whip a wild
icut or a jiawk. And when the
! lightning and the thunder an
nounce the sudden, pelting storm,
the chickens crawl her wide wings
under, and she protects them with
her form. There’s nothing, truly,
more affecting than mother love
that old hens hear, as they go,
clucking round, prospecting to
find the children’s hill of fare. 1
sympathize with orphan chickens
hatched out iu patent tin ma
chines; 1 can’t imagine what the
dickens that sort of innovation
means. To rob a chicken of its
mother—to ride its owner on a!
rail:- One-crime’s as low down as
the other, and each should send a
man to jail.
