Don't be SO general in your charges,
Friend Wilkinson, Great Bend is
strongly republican town. but it
strikes us that the democrats of this
city have aided materially in making
many Eilinwood enterprises success
full. On the other hand, some Film

ious to aid Great Bend republicans.

attending Great Bend association

memory of the absent ones was solemnly
revered yesterday by eight hundred
brother knights. assembled to participate
in the sacred ceremonies.
Tomlinson Hail had been profusely dec
Grated for the occasion, and the entire in
terror was emblematic OF the order of
Pythianism. The stage was banked with
evergreens and potted plants. aud above
the heads of the ritualistic officers were
draped the national coiors and the blue.

knight. Around the galleries hung festoons
OF myrtle and cedar and beneath these
sacred symbols of friendship. charity and
benevolence sat the various uniform divi-

The opening address was made by Col. w.

Rampered by the Constitution.


To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
Will you allow me space to reply to your
editorial suggestion to my communication
on the elevation Of our legal profession.
published in Mondays Journal You sug-
gest that the change desired could only be
brought about by constitutional amend
ment. That is. unfortunately, true; but
the amendments, as does the bill, has its
origin in the General Assembly, and either
branch of the Legislature may propose an
amendment. The Constitution and the
statutes are the creatures of the same
power. namely, the people represented in
a body. 1t is much easier and speedier
matter to pass law than to amend q con-
stiturOn. And your suggestion shows how
much more difficult 1t Is to remedy an evil
when that evil is bound ND In oonstitu'
tion (which is very frequently the case).
than when it is not. Perhaps one reason
why so many of our laws are de clared un-
constitutional is because our constitutions
are wrong and at fault. Are our cOnstitu-
tions or c0nstitution-makers infalliblei
the trouble is. in our constitution
making we sometimes make laws
not constitutional laws. but stat
utory laws, and it is difficult to
tell the difference between q statutory
right or function and a constitutional right
or function if there is any difference. And
there should be difference. A constitu.
ton should not pass laws and it should not
be so framed as to prevent or preclude the
passage of good and wholesome laws or
make it necessary to amend the Constitu-
ton so that q needed law might be passed.
A constitution should be en- cid rather
than bar to progress. But such Is not
always the case.
Judge Cooley, in an address before the
constitutional convention of North Da-
kota. in session at Bismarck, in 1889, said:
Don't, in your constitutions IN aking, leg
islate too much. In your Constitution You
are tying the hands of the people," We
see q veritication of Judge Cooley's state
ment here in our own State In regard to
this subject of much. needed law reanir.
ing qualifications on the part Of attorneys
desiring to be admitted to the bar. Our
Constitution is in the way. The hands of
our people are tied. But since the only
remedy is the one you suggest. let the Con-
stltution be amended, or let the rotten
plank be kicked out and the people be
given chance to pass sensible and whole.

The Clifford Building association Bill.

TO the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
L have just read your editorial In this
mornings Journal headed "A Growing
Abuse" and while fully indorse the spirit
and general purpose of the article wish
TO correct an impression which it creates
as to the bill now pending in the Leglsla-
ture providing for the supervision of the
business of building and loan associations.
The impression created was that the bill
referred TO took s. from each association In
the State and transferred 81 of it to the
Auditor of State. The bill does nothing Of
the kind. 1t provides an annual fee OF s.
to be paid by each ASSOCIATION to the
Auditor of State for filing reports
and examining same and having q general
oversight over the business. but the bill
also provides that these fees shall be used
in paying the salary of all additional clerk
hire made necessary by the passage of the
associations in Indiana, which would pro.
duce about 81, 500 per year. You will readily
zee that, after paying q clerk, the Auditor
or State would not have very much left.
even IT he received all of it. but there was
an amendment adopted IN the Senate which
provided that all fees received under this
bill shall be governed by the fee and salary
law OF 1891, which gives the State 80 per
cent. and the Auditor 10 per cent OF the
fees collected after paying for his deputy
under this bill.
The local associations of the State, as o
rule. are asking that this bill be passed
in order to protect the good name
and reputation of the business, and
for the purpose of wedding out ana
bringing to light the fraudulent concerns
which are now overrunning the State.
There is at this time no supervision what
ever over the vast and important business
of these institutions. and there ia nothing
to prevent dishonest or incompetent men
ri
blanks of the people" No building and
loan association which is doing safe and
legitimate business can offer any valid OBJ
lection to the bill now before the Legisla-
ture, and known as the Clifford bill.o
