BOSH.

Some very smart men use some very
foolish arguments against constitu-
tIonal convention. One such argument
WAS used by able state senators in the
debate on the question, and we see
that Ben Simpson has been getting off
the same wisdom. 1t is this That the
constitution if framed, would not be
accepted or rejected upon its merit.
but would turn exclusively upon the
prohibition question the prohibition
isis opposing it, if il did not contain
a prohibitory article, and the anti
prohibitionists opposing it, if ii
did. Now. do not these men
know that all such questions are in
variably submitted n separate propo-
sition>? If II new constitution was
framed. a prohibitory article could,
and doubtless would. be submitted a
an independent proposition, to form a
part of the constitution or not. aS
majority of the people voted. Thus.
the body of the constitution would be
voted up or down, upon its own mer-
its The homestead article in our con-
stituiion was voted for n a separate
proposition. Even the pro->iayerv
trainers of the Lecompton constitu-
ton gave the people the right Ia vote

As he is 4 man and a preacher who.

larger space in Kansas and may even
be located at some future time in
Wichita, we quote sentence descrip-
tive of biz makeup:
