STATE CONVENTION. There is a good deal Of
clamor about State Convention for the purpose
of amending the Constitution. The whole project
is piece of weakness and absurdity. We do not
want any amendments of the State Constitution
We have plenty of good provisions and good laws.
But we want moral firmness and integrity in those
who are sent to occupy seats in legislative bo-
dies This is what we want-not new provisions,
planted on the constitution, that can be easily
overlooked by scheming politicians and lawyers
For instance, one of the principal objects sought
bv those who are eagerly calling for a State Con-
venton, Is the imposition OF restriction In reIa-
tion to the borrowing Of money by future lesisla.
lures Now If good sense and integrity were the
ruling influence in the minds of those sent to legs-
late' there would be no necessity for any law or
restriction to prevent them from impairnr the ore.
dit Of the State. We want an amendment os ,h.
moral constitution of our legisators-not os tbe
State Co ution, which is we'll enough.
