HCH'TH KKX LK.Uit K OI'ICVIMJ LOCAL BAUD MAKES REMARKABLE PROM SECURES MORE UNO EOR PLAYGROUNDS It is our duty, if we really in our form of government to eliminate these defects before the defects spread to such an extent that the confidence of the people sh&Ti be practically destroyed. It is an unreasonable and indefensible proposition to say, in this age, that men are unfit to select and directly vote for those who shall represent them In the national council. If our senators were elected as the fathers intended they should be, it would be different. Hut we have not the father's plan at all. It was their plan that the legislature should come together regardless of party 'i(filiations, look over the field and, select the greatest in the commonwealth for their representatives at Washington. But under the present system party politics has wholly •liminated the plan of the fathers. And In addition to party politics the interests, which are to be affected by national legislation interpose.abiding faith in the great fundamental (ruth upon which our governnent was founded to correct these abuses and ti eliminate the interposing agencies which militate against the public interest. All of these things have led to the belief that there interposes between 'he people and the selection of their servants a power which renders ineffective representative government. It is the duty of all men who have w-r In my opinion there is no one thing that has done so much to convince the people of the failure of representative government as the man>er of selecting senators. Take the illustrations of this last winter. It is a notorious fact that legislation was actually suspended or demoralized for at least two months in Iowa. :n \"ew York, in Colorado, while the shameless situation in Illinois has more of less demoralized the whole There is a general movement upon the part of the people to take more and more the matter of legislation In their own hands. This arises out of *ne belief upon the part of hundreds and thousands of wellmeaning and thoughtful people that representatives do not faithfully and efficiently represent the people. Just what form the resolution will take, it is difficult to determine. So far as I am concerned, I am in favor of pasing it in the form in which it was brought, out of committee before. But I would rather pass it in the form upon which it was finally voted upon than to fail to pass it entirely. "I feel very certain that the resolution submitting an amendment to the constitution, providing for the election of senators by popular vote will nass during this congress, and it is possible and even probable that It will pass this session. The friends of the measure will urge it to a final conclusion as speedily as possible. By 1". S. Senator Win. K.

The tract adjoining the original purchase, owned by the Zeltler heirs, was this morning deeded to the Playground association. Attorneys Adams and Truitt, the latter for the Zeitler heirs, and the former for the association, handling the details. The consideration was $500. The resignation of Doctor Hill is accepted here as the second move in the shake-up. It was said at the White House last evening, however, that no selection had been made for the Berlin post, and the President intimated that he would take ilia time in making the appointment. Only one construction is put upon J this sentence here, aud that is that | Doctor Hill hoped to the last tliat.the resignation might not be accepted. There have been confidential intimations from certain well-informed sources for the last week that a shake-up in the diplomatic service was impending. The first move was the transfer of Ambassador Rockhill from St. Petersburg to Constantinople and the appointment of former Governor CurtiB Gould, of Massachusetts, to the Russian court. Despite the official disclaimers, it is to be said that the resignation was not unexpected. It will be recalled that upon the arrival of Doc-, tor Hill in this country, some time ago, it was pointed out that It was unlikely he would return to his post for any extended service there. Moreover, the peculiar phraseology of Doctor's Hill's letter has not escaped attention here. He holds out to the President the evident opportunity to continue him at Berlin by saying he otters the resignation "in order that, if you desire to do so. you may be able to make another appointment to that post." "Very sincerely yours, "WILLIAM II. TAFT." Kesigmit ion I For "I am glad that it will be convenient to you to retain your post until the first of next July, and 1 remain, my dear Doctor Hill, with renewed expression of appreciation and with every good wish, "My dear Mr. Ambassador: In acknowledging your letter of the 12th inst. it is with great reluctance that 1 accept your resignation and relieve you of a mission which you have discharged in a manner which 1 so highly appreciate both as to the actual work of the embassy and as to your relation to the Government to which you are accredited. President Taft's letter of acceptance read: "The White House, Washington, April 14, 1911. "Please accept, my dear Mr. President, the assurance of my great esteem and loyal sentiment." "It has been a great pleasure to mo to serve my country ia this  orable and highly respdnsible oihce which I have endeavored to fill to the best of my ability. "The half of your administration having already passed, it appears to me fitting that 1 should express to you my grateful appreciation of the consideration you have shown me, and that I should at this time place my resignation in your hands to take effect July 1 next, which 1 now do in order that, if you desire to do so, you may be able to make another appointment to that post. "Dear Mr. President: I have the honor to remind you that at the beginning of your term of office as President 1 expressed to the Secretary cf State my readiness to terminate my mission as Ambassador to Urmany which your predecessor had intrusted to me. It was your pleasure soon afterward to communicate to me in person your wish that I should continue at that post, and I was very happy, especially in view of the short time 1 had been at Merlin, to receive this mark of your confidence. "Washington, D. C\, April 12, 1911 Letters of Mill and Taft The letter of Doctor llill to the President follows: The resignation follows a conference between the Ambassador and Secretary Knox at the State Department Thursday, and another conference between the Secretary and the President yesterday. No explanation of the resignation was made at the State Department, and at the White House it was said authoritatively that there was not the last dissatisfaction with the service of Doctor Hill in Berlin. WASHINGTON, April 15.—Dr. David Jayne liili, ambassador to Germany, tendered his resignation of that office to the President yesterday, and it was accepted. The President's note to Doctor Hill declared "that it was with great reluctance that he accepted the resignation," but neither in the letter of tlie Ambassador nor in the note of the Presiden was there the least explanation of Doctor Hill's reason for relinquishing his post.
