ACT. AND ACT AT ONCE.
The la:-t iss'e of the Commoner containsi
an appeal to the people to manifest their
rihts and demand of their United States
Senators that they should vote for the coi
stitutional amendment providing for the
election of United States Senators by the peo-,1
ple. Such an amendment is in conformity
with our democratic ideas of government.
and there is no reason why the choice of our'
United States Senators should not be made
directly by the people as our congressmen
are. If United States Senators are elected
by popular vote those selected for office will
be more in accord with the wishes and needs
of the people, and there will be little danger'
of electing men to the Senate whose official
characters are tainted with corruption.
We hope that our two scholarly and?
distinguished Senators McEnery and Foster:
will vote for this amendment which will re-1
dound greatly to the interest of the people.
Mr. Bryan offers the following excellent
advice upon the matter to the people:
A resolution has just passed the house
proposing a constitutional amendment pro
viding for the election of United States sena
tors by popular vote. The sentiment in fa
vor of the resolution was so overwhelming
that there was no opposition and no roll-call.
This is the fourth time that the house of
representatives has by a more than two-thirds
vote declared itself in favor of this reform,
but on three occasions the amendment has
been killed in the senate. It must not be
killed again.
The house is elected by a direct vote; it
comes fresh from the people; it represents
the almost unanimous desire of the people
for an opportunity to vote directly for United
States senators. Will the senate dare to
stand in the way of this great reform? Are
the senators afraid to risk a reelection at the
hands of the people themselves? Do they
depend upon money or corporate influence to
control state legislatures? What excuse can
a senator give for opposing this effort to
bring the government nearer to the people i
If there are two sides to the question, why
haven't the senators who have thus far blook
ed the progress of the amendment made
speeches presenting the objections? The fact
is, that the reasons which have actuated the
opposition are secret reasons which fear the
light.
If the resolution proposing an amend
ment can be brought to a vote in the Senate
it will pass, for even those who prefer the
election of senators by legislatures are afraid
to either speak or vote against what they
know to be a popular demand. Now is the
time for action-for concerted action. Let
every reader of The Commoner address a
postal card to EACH OF THE SENATORS
FROM HIS STATE and urge immediate ac
tion upon this resolution. Ask your senators
to answer with a promise of support or with a
reason for their opposition.
If all the weekly papers throughout the
country, and the daily papers that favor this
reform, will make a like request of their read
ers, the senators will be so overwhelmed with
cards, letters and petitions that they cannot
withstand the pressure. The hour is ripe for
action; the question is one of great impor
tance; your influence will have its weight.
Do not delay? let your wishes be known.
Send postal cards; send letters; send peti
tions; hold public meetings and forward re
solutions. Act, and act at once.
THE SCHIJEY CASE.
The last chapter in the Schley case i
written. The court of last resort, the Presi
dent, has spoken. He refuses to reopen the
cxae and set aside the finding of the court ol
Inquiry. He speaks well of Schley's courage
but gives him no credit for the victory al
Santiago above thie other officers and declarei
it a captain's fight. There the matter rests
It will remain sealed unless congress, or the
people, will open the matter again.
There is no doubt that twothirds of the
American people are with Schley and believe
a grave injustice has been done to him.
They know that the administration is againsi
him; from President down to the lowest na.
val officer they are for the pets of the "pow.
ers that be" and Schley is not one of them.
It is a shame that such a shamueful condition
of affairs exist, but that it does exist every
one can see. President Roosevelt speaks o0
the propriety of keeping an elevated standard
for the navy and by his own acts he doee
more to lower it than any man in the United
8tatas.
The people will take note of all the in.
justi(ce done to the immortal hero of Santiago,
and at the polls will declare themselvws for
him by voting for men who will see that jus
tice will be done him. The day of re.koning
will 'c:ule,
AWAY WITH THE PISTOL
Almost every mail that comes brings us
'the record of some homicide in which the
pistol figures as the instrument of death.
We have laws against carrying concealed
weapons: we have laws pre"¢ribing punish
me:its for murder and manslam-,htr. but
they are alionet a dead letter. Occasionally
some one is tried and convicted and fined a
trifling sum for carrying a concealed weapon.
Sometimes a negro or a tramp without friends,
is convicted of murder. very rarely one wh.
passes as a gentleman. is punished for man
slaughter when he has been guilty of some
foul as.sasiuation, but instances of the kind
are so uncommon that violators of the law
have but little fear of punishment. Homes
are daily desolated by the pistol carlier,
graveyards are constantly receiving fresh ad,
'ditions from his hand and the murderer is
icrowned as a hero by a lenient or ignorant
'jury.
Pistols are manufactured and carried
isolely for the purpose of taking human life.
There is no other purpose under the sun for
which they are used. Is it not absurd to
enact laws against homicide and permit the
sale of weapons which are manufactured and
sold solely to enable the lawless to violate
Ithose laws? It may be argued that it is
I sometims necessary to carry a pistol or knife
r for pfersoLal protection. For protection
against what ? Against the assault of some
other person who is supposed to carry them
t in order to take life. The argument contains
its own refutation. We hope to see the press
of our State take this matter up as a needed
reform and discuss it thoroughly. We hope
to see such an awakening that our Legisla
ture at its next meeting will not only prohi
hit the sale of pistols. bowie knives, etc.,
within the borders of the State, but will tax
them so heavily that it will be onerous to
s purchase them elsewhere. It is far better to
e prevent homicide than to punish it, and if
t the usual instruments for committing the
crime are removed we are satisfied that the
e criminal record of our State will be greatly
improved.
e
e SOUTH CAROLINA DISGRACED.
a On last Saturday one of the most dis
graceful scenes ever witnessed by a people
was enacted in the United States Senate. It
L. seems that Senator Tilman the fire eater,
e thug and demagogue accused his colleague
t of having been bribed by some of the leaders
e of the Republican Party, whereupon Senator
McLaurin arose and denounced Tillman's
l- accusations as being a deliberate lie, and
:e then the two vicious looking senators got
d together and a pugilistic encounter followed
y in which both received bruises.
*e Just think of such outrageous proceed
a ings between two United States Senators in
S the Senate chamber while that august and
c- dignified body was in session, and yet Dr.
Sralmagemust have us believe that the con
gress of the United States has improved in
te character. It may have, but we entertain
is serious doubts on the matter. If it has, it
h happens to be a fact not appreciable by many.
t South Carolina has been most shamefully
>r disgraced by her two United States Senators,
r- Tillman and McLaurin, and her escutcheon
Skept so pure and unsulled by her noble citi
ti- zenship of the past, is now polluted and tar
- nished.
The Times Democrat in commenting up
on the matter very properly says:
"The Senators from South Carolina de
serve to receive the withering condemnation
is of all persons who believe that the law of
i. civility should rule the conduct of American
Legislators. There can be invented no ex·
ie planation that will even in the least degree
of extenuate the unbecoming behavior of either
ge of the offenders, and it is to be hoped that
at the American people, irrespective of party
affiliations, will visit upon both Mr. Mc
es Laurin and Mr. Tillman the smiting rebuke
which an indignant and outraged nation
le well knows how to administer."
he The term of associate justice Joseph A.
eBreaux will expire the latter part of nexi
n. May. It is not known what action in the
matter will be taken by Gov. Heard.
w If Judge Breaux is reappointed he will
"- upon the expiration of the term of chief Jus
ry tioe Nicholls become chief justice as provided
of in article 87 of the constitution of 1898.
es Judge Nicholls as chief justice of our Su
preme court has worn the judicial erminE
n- with much ability and wisdom, and his dii
' placement from the present position which hE
Ls- enjoys will be displeasing to most louisi
