Was the Constitutional Convention

thousand differant views on that sub

and divide the white people of the
State on the subject of an elective ju-
dicary and q dozen other questions
about which they hold widely divergent
viewsf 1t doesn't suit the purpose of
the whisky organs to refer to these
things. They can only find space to
depreeate the injection of Prohibition
into the convention question, and that
too when the great whisky combine
and its emissaries prec iptated the
issue.

Judge Campbell's Plan.

The LEADER lays before its readers
to-day the much-discussed plan pro-
posed by Judge Campbell for solving
the race problem. Judge Canpbelrs
plan il meeting with but little favor.
So far ns our observation goes, but
two OF three papers in the State have
endorsed it, aud its supporters among
the people are no doubt in like
proportion. Nevertheless, the discus
sion it has provoked will be produc-
tive of good. Like II bold pioneer,
struggling to penetrate some dark and
hitherto unexplored wilderness, Judge
Campbell has act the lines bounding
the discussion of this question far in
advance Of the positions taken by
others, and while the multitude will
not follow his leadership, we hope and
believe the very boldness of his po-
sition will lead up to something more
advanced and beneficial in the final adj
Indication of the question, than would
otherwise have been attained. We
regret to see a tendency in some quar-
ters to ridiculc and harsh criticism OF
the distinguished gentleman and his
views. Judge Campbell is no doubt
honest, patriotic and sincere in the
position he has assumed, and his very
candor and courage, to say moth.
ing VI his great learning, entitle him
to fair and respectful treatment in the
discussion of great problem concern
ing the solution Of which all are ear
nestly seeking light.
Judge Campbell's plan undoubtedly
solves the race question in politics,
and it is undoubtedly in harmony
with the unwritten law which has
prevailed in Mississippi since 1875
that the property owners and intelli-
gence of the State shall control its az
fairs, but rs n constitutional proviso,
it seems to us it is open to two very
serious objections. ny The strife and
complications likely to arise out OF
it's practical enforcement, and (2) the
step and dangerous precedent estab-
lished in the direction of a property OF
landed aristocracy. This perhaps
would not appear at first, but on acca-
sion, with the power thus lodged in the
property owners, it might in time as
sert itself in various forms and to a
dangerous degree.
The LEADER favors an educational
qualification for suffrage, to take eff
feet in two or four years after the
new constitution is adopted, q length
ening of the period of residence in
State, county and precinct, and the
payment of the poll tax. And we
would suggest that in the considera-
ton of Judge Campbell's plan and
all others which have been proposed
in advance of the present system, and
which may appear in the least harsh
or out of harmony with preconceived
opinions and usages, that Mississippi
has all abnormal political condition
to deal with, and nothing short of q
bold and advanced policy will accom-.
plish any real and lasting good.

OBITUARY..


Mrs Lucy H. Wheeler, whose death is re-
corded in the proper column, was born in
Brookfeld, VT, in Oct, 1929. in 1S49 she
was married, and the same year she and he1
husband were baptised, and united with the
Baptist church at Enosburgh. Five years
later they removed to johnson, and soon be-
came members of the Baptist church of which
she was an esteemed member at the time Of
her death. Mrs. Wheeler was true follower
of the Lord Jesus a devout and earnest, and
a diligent student of the Bible a book in
which she delighted. She studied it to know
her Lords will concerning her. In the Sun
day school she was until one year ago, q
valued teacher whose opinions were respected
and whose influence was always felt on the
side Of loyalty to God and his truth. She
never departed from the profession of heI
faith, made in baptism at the age of twenty
years. For almost forty years she has been
the faithful wife in whom her husband safely
trusted. The loss is great to the church, but
greater far the loss TO him she leaves here to
mourn. An adopted daughter shares his
grief, but both rejoice in the hope of meeting
in the home beyond.
