THE TINES AND THE OONSrITU.
TI0NAL CONVENTION.

THE more the question of q consti-
tutional convention is argued, the
more it brings to mind the soliloquy
of HAMLET in saying.
And makes US rather bear those Ills
we have,
Than fly to others that we know not
OFF"
In discussing this phase OF the ques-
tion, she Richmond Va, TiMRs in It's
issue of the 22d inst, says:
''One of the first things that the yir-
ginia convention of 1929 did was TO
take up the Ball OF Rights, our Magma
Charta, and the committee TO whlch
it was referred n aively reported to the
convention subsequently that it saw
no reason to make any chsnges in that
old document, and SO it was by resolu-
ton Incorporated into the new consti-
tuition. But it lie apparent that, had is
chosen to do 80, the convention could
have torn the Bill OF Rights to tstters
and thrown the fragments to the
winds. The people may instruct their
delegates TO the convention to refer to
the people the constitution which they
shall frame, bat we know not how the
delegates can be compelled TO obey in
structions."
1t continues:
1T Is for these reasons that The
Times has been very allow to give it's
approval to the convention movement
We thought, and we still think, that
the best way to revise the constitution
is by the amendments process, or, as
the Populists call it, by the initiative
ana referendum. ALI necessary amend
ments to the constitution could Ihus
have been made, ard in each cas- the
people would have h Ad the privilege of
voting on each amendment separ ate
ly."
1t says further:
BAT this plan, however good in thu
Dry, was proven to bs impractics b, e.
That IL TO say, the Legislature would
not employ 1t as means OF radically
revising the constitution, aud SO it was
agreed that the only way to qualify
the suffrage aud remove the calss Of
fraudulent election practices ia Vir-
glnIa, was TO G al q constitutional con.
vention. Therefore, Ths Times has
.allen into line and is an a1vosate OF
the convention"
