Bane at Star Bar Meeting Senator Boies Penrose, although within a year re-elected to the Uniteu States Senate by a popular vote, both at the Republican nominating pri maries and at the general election last November, last night in Philadelphia reiterated his objections to the new system of naming representatives to the upper branch of the national Con gress. He voiced this opposition in commenting upon a speech made by John C. Bane, a well-known lawyer of Pittsburgh, at the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, yes terday at Cape May, N. J. Mr. Bane contended that the consti tutional amendment for the election of United States senators by direct pop ular vote "was one of the first sub stantial achievements of the crimes of representative government." lu commenting upon Attorney Bane's address Senator Penrose said: "I agree with many of the views ex pressed in the speech referred to. I opposed the popular election of United States senators and voted against the measure whenever it came up in Con gress. My opposition was based en tirely upon my theory of the American government and not upon any per sonal grounds, as was shown by the fact that I cheerfully bowed to the will of the majority and submitted my name to the voters. The old way of electing United States senators was generally looked upon by publicists, like Mr. Bryce, as ideal and better than any other method devised to create what is called an upper legislative chamber. The more you study the machinery of the American govern ment, the more you will be convinced that the United States Senate Is the most important cog in the govern mental machinery. 'The United States Senate has upon numerous occasions amply vindicated Itself in Its debates and decisions and has been of infinite service to the country. Now that we have the popular elec tion of senators, the Question arises how long can the Senate continue. In other words, will the American people tolerate two votes in the Senate from Nt\ uda named by an electorate of not more than four or five thousand, and with a population not as large as manv wai ds in Philadelphia, and having at the same time the two votes equal to the two votes from Pennsylvania? If we are to have popular majority rule, this condition is illogical, and is bound to cause a breakdown sooner or later when some vital question arises. •The same reasoning applies to amendments to the Constitution. The smaller States like Nevada and Arizona ha\ e the same voice in amending the Constitution that New York and Penn sylvania have. it is not likely, if popular majority rule Is to prevail that the people will tolerate indefinitely having a lot of radical legislation fastened on them by a two-thirds vote Oi the States representing a very small minority of the total vote of the country. • c "We have started to undermine the Constitution and no one can tell where the bricks will fall." Shippensburg Civic Club Pians Fourth Celebration Special to The Telegraph Shippensbutg, Pa., July 2.—Under the auspices of the Civic Club, Ship pensburg will observe Independence Day, Monday, July 5, along the lines ol a "safe and sane Fourth."

POTATO TREES Nevertheless great ignorance pre vailed in parts of the United States about the potato even in recent years. In a railroad coach sat two men on a journey to the Pacific coast. The train passed through a potato section, and one of these men remarked to his companion: "What a fine field of po tatoes." Said the other: "Oh no, you can't stuff me with that. Potatoes grow on trees just the same as pears and other such fruit. When I return I am go ing to the State University at Alameda to see them growing, and to see the sort of tree It is." His fellow replied: "Well, ail' I know Is, when traveling here last time some one said, 'What a fine field of potatoes': perhaps you are right. Bill; they must grow on trees; some country pumpkins tried to fool me."—The Christian Herald. DIG THEIR OWN GRAVES You have read that trenches have changed war; that the-life of a soldier is regarded as so precious by those who devise the war machines that everything is done to protect him. "Digging in" and "trenchwork" —re- assuring phrases for those who do not know, or for those who do not think. By statistics I tried to show how "safe" the trenches are. Yes. every thing is done to safeguard the sol dier; he Is valuable to the State. But If trenches were devised to save the soldier, modern artillery and explo sives were devised to kill him; and the only thing that makes you won der about the trenches and their rela tive value to life is how a man can go Into them and be alive at the end of the war.—Christian Herald. FLIES AVOID BLUE A French scientiat in authority for the statement that flics have a dis tinct objection to the color blue. This was first discovered by a farmer who keeps a large number of cows In sev eral sheds. One of these sheds hap pened to be painted blue on the Inside and in this the cows were little trou bled by files. He blued all the walls and thus protected all his cows. French farmers In the vicinity are now 'adding a blue coloring to their white wash. Their formula is as follows: To twenty gallons of water add ten pounds of slacked lime an(J one pound of ultramarine. The walls are tinted twice during the summer.—The Amer ican Boy.
