ADULTERATING THE SENATE.
June 26. 1787, the questior of com
pensation for members of the Senate
being under consideration. General
Ptnckney, of South Carolina, moved
that no salary whatever be allowed.
He argued that as the Senate "was
meant to represent the wealth of the
country, It ought to be composed of
persons of wealth ,and If no compen
sation were allowed the wealthy alon
would undertake the service."
Comparatively few political argu
meuts made a century and a quarter
ago look as sound to some people as
that one does. Yet no institution can
txist that long ? no matter how care
fully it was constituted to resist
change ? without suffering some mod
ification. The Senate today does not
exclusively represent wealth, as Gen
eral Pinckuey said it was designed to
do. Of late a number of members ?
men like La Follette, Beveridge, Cum
mins, who try to represent mere peo
ple instead of wealth ? have seeped
Into the body, adulterating its pure
plutocracy with an active though
quite ineffectual, leaven of democracy
Today, therefore, we should have to
change somewhat the terms of Gen
eral Pinkney's argument, and say tha
as about sixty per cent of the mem
bers of the Senate represent opulent
interests, they should look entirely to
those interests for their compensation
? Instead of taking a side, or collat
eral, glance, so to speak, at the pub
lic treasury.
Consider this colossal Joke: The
people of the United States are act
ually paying wages to the majority
of the Senate for framing the new
tariff bill! ? Saturday Evening Post.
WILBUR WRIGHT.
He's won success where others
failed; he's built a weird machine,
composed of cranks and doodads
and propelled by gasoline, that circles
proudly overhead, as graceful in its
flight, as any eagle that cavorts
along the airy height. When Wilbur
and his brother bold began their
march to fame, the sages of the vil
lage sneered, and said: "What is
their game? Do these here loonies
really think that they can make a
rap of iron and brass and cauvas
things, and Junk and other scrap,
with which to leave the solid earth,
and plow the atmosphere? By Jings!
It isn't safe for them to be at large,
that's clear." But Wilbur and his
brother bold, whose courage never
falls, kept on apatching up their trap
with wire and tin and nails, they built
a new cafoozelum, improved the
rinktyram. and tinkered up the doo
dle whang until it wouldn't jam; and
then one morning up they flew, and
all the village seers just stood
around and pawed the ground and
chewed each other's ears. Good
luck be with those Dayton boys ?
good luck in every flight! It is a
pleasant rite to write that Wright is
strictly right! ? Walt Mason.
WHAT NEWSPAPERS DO.
The newspapers build your town.l
why not build up the newspapers?!
There Is no better advertisement in
the world for a town than a good
newspaper. A newspaper Is the bar
ometer of the town's Industry. Show
us a good newspaper full of advertis
ing and we will show you a town full
of live, prosperous merchants.
Newspapers are town builders,
town advertisers, fortune makers,
news dtssiminators. sermon deliverers
prosperity forecasters? they are a ne
cessity, not a luxury- Without them

days.
Don't patronize them from a char
itable or a sentimental standpoint;
patronize them because they deliver
the goods ? that Is , it they are the
right kind. ? Chicago Trade Journal.
' JOBBING THE CONSUMER.
In 1S9S to meet the expenses of
the war a revenue tax was levied on
tobacco, and by Congressional enact
ment the tobacco companies were al
lowed to sell short weight packages.
Alter the war the revenue tax 011 to
bacoo was removed ? but the Tobacco
Trust kept right on selling short
weight packages and nothing was
ever said about it. This is merely
another example of how the "Inter
ests" and the lawmakers connive to
job the "consumers'.*
William Jennings Bryan's request
to Taft that the election of United
States Senators by the direst vote of
the people be Incorporated in the con
gtitutional amendment will not find
favor with Taft ? or with few of the
Senators. But the time is speedily
coming when the people will have
the right to select Senators by direct
vote, thus doiug away with the mach
inations of legislatures. The states
that have tried the direct primary
have got rid of undesirables in most
cases.
The Skagwa.v Alaskan comes to the
front with a suggestion that Alaska
newspapers get together in an edit
orial association, and points out the
many advantages and benefits to be
derived from the various editor* com
ing into closer touch with each other
in this manner. Right you are, Bro.
Liggett and the sooner the better. ?
Juneau Transcript.
Some people are like barnacles ?
they impede the progress of any com
munity wherein they reside. Don't
be a barnacle.
That Oakland parson who had six
affinities evidently heeded the scrip
tural injunction: "Love ye one an
other."
