The passage which we have marked
with italics should be profitable for re-
proof and doctrine to the whole brood
OF constitution thinkers. To inject into
the fundamental law declarations or
prohibitions which, ii they are capa-
bic OF practical effect. may reach that
effect properly and as well BIZ the ope
ration of the statute law, and which,
at best, are but the expression of a
passing passion or craze, IS, as Prof.
Thayer SAYS, "a process of degrade

Ittends to weaken the reverence and re-
spect which should be felt for the funda-
mental law; and ii fails TO accomplish
even the temporary purpose OF the
rash amenders. Prohibition. for in
stance, a disputed question about
which public opinion ffuctuates, is put
into a state constitution. The prohi-
bition amendment can do nothing for
prohibition which cannot be done by
an ordinary prohibitory law. As in
the case of Rhode Island, the consti-
tuition has hardly been amended to
suit the Prohibitionists before strong
party strives to have the amendment
struck out. The law is not enforced,
the amendment is writing in sand.
and respect for the constitution is
weakened.
No constitution can he so sacred as
to be beyond alteration. Every con-
stitntion should be the free and ample
expressions OF the permanent princi-
pies upon which the state is founded.
But ii should not be a vane 10 meve
with every gust of enthusiasm or ia
naticism. II should not be the vehi-
Gle of cranks or doctrinaires. Itshould
be on a higher and more permanent
footing than the statute law. 1t should
