We think our correspondent. j. B.
takes the wrong view of the vote for a
call for a Constitutional Convention.
That there does exist necessity for
renovatiDg and amending the Consti-
tuition. there can be no doubt, and the
fact that the proposition does not car
ry can be attributed only to the igno
rance Of the voters, Of whom one.
fourth, statistics tell us, can not read
the tickets they use. Counting out
the vote ofsome twenty counties, ow
ing to the irregularity of the returns,
1904 thoughtful persons say we do
need change and il the matter could
be brought directly to the attention Of
every voter We doubt if there would
be dissenting voice. A new Con-
stitution, If were properly framed,
would save the State many thousands
a year besides give us a document
abreast With the times. The old Con-
stitution is in many respects dead

Avoid Farm Mortgages.

Mortgages are necessary and bene-
fetal to civilized society, but there are
unpleasant features about them. They
often enable man to accomplish what
he could not otherwise do, and they also
often involve a man who would have
been otherwise successful. They often
enable man to get out of trouble which
he could not otherwise avoid, and they
perhaps equally often make miserable a
life which would have otherwise been
happy. 1t is easy to get them on to the
farm, but it is not always so easy to get
them of. Farm mortgages are about
the best investment that capital can
find. Investors generally like them.
They partake of the nature, permanence,
and other substantial qualities of real
property, but are relieved from many
of the burdens imposed upon land.
The editor of the american AqricuL-
turist says that one investment company
in New York city has upward of
800, 900, 600 in farm mortgages, mostly
on Western farms. The money draws
seven per cent. and upward, and is OBJ
tanned in Europe at four per cent. so
that the animal profits to the investment
company are about 100000. There
are perhaps a dozen such companies in
New York city alone, and there are
private investors, now that money is
plentiful all over the country; so that
here is no lack of opportunity to get |
mortgages on farms. But so hard are
hey to get off that, Notwithstanding the
act that investors will not generally loan
more than third or half of the value
# the security offered, broker who
leals largely in farm mortgages, recent
= said to the writer that, as rule, mort
ages are not paid. That is to say,
7hen a farm is once mortgaged, it in a
majority Of instances remains so for a
9ng time. IF one mortgage is paid,
mother is made to raise the money. If
