AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.
NOW that the legislatures of more than
two-thirds of the states have declared in
favor of a constitutional amendment pro
viding for the election of senators by direct
vote, the possibility of procuring such an
amendment, in spite ot the objections of the
Senate, becomes an interesting factor in the
situation.
If two-thirds of the states, through their
legislatures, formally apply to Congress to call
a convention Tor the proposing of constitutional
amendments, such application becomes manda-
tory. Tlje constitution makes no provision as
to the election and composition of such a con
volition, the procedure and other details being,
therefore, left to the discretion of Congress.
There lias never been a constitutional con
vention to consider amendments—all those act-
ed upon having been submitted by Congress—
but the original constitutional convention was
composed of delegates elected by the respective
legislatures by order of Congress.
There are also two ways by which'constitu-
tional amendments may be ratified—the rati-
fication of three-fourths of the states being
necessary. Ratification may be In state legis-
latures or by state conventions called especial-
ly for that purpose. The latter method lias
never been employed.
The Senate, in defying the will of the people
in the matter of senatorial elections, is inviting
resort to the constitutional convention. And
if sucii a convention were called its delibera-
tions would not necessarily be confined to any
one proposed amendment. It might be a busy
convention, for doubtless a goodly number of
amendments would be proposed to it. And
whatever the amendments approved bv the con-
vention might be, an:l regardless of their num-
ber, Congress would be compelled to submit
tlieni tn the legislatures for approval or re.jec
tion.—K. C. Star.

NOTHING so pitifully tragic has been re
counted in recent years as the story ol
death in the Far East.
It does not seem possible that in a Chris
tiau age men and winner should sit ot their
doorsteps and starve or be Mvept into eternity
in the current of the nlague which is sweeping
China, Manchuria and Russia.
We can scarcely understand or appreciate
the awful ravages the plague is making.
The older generation of Memphis can re-
member the fateful days of 1878, when hun-
dreds paid tribute to the dark angel. The
death rate was mild in comparison with the
death rate of the East.
I>r. Theobald Smith, in the course of a re
cent lecture delivered before Harvard College.
made an impressive statement in regard to the
progress the plague has made since it was first
declared epidemic. He explained that the pres-
ent outbreak is of the most virulent type. Noth-
ing in the history of sickness and disease, since
science began its study, has ever approached
the present plague, according to this authority.

The columns of the British papers show nn
awakening to the possible danger. 1 he black
plague spread over Europe, and the territory
infected by the present plague is rapidly ex-
tending.
The plague has been in California before
this, for ten years, in fact, and by united ef-
forts of city'and state and national govern-
ment and the expenditure of vast sums of
money rat proof dwellings have been made pos
sible. This is the probable reason that it has
been held in check. Xo one has the right to as-
