this be true, 1t indicates a crash In
business. We feel sorry for the
mill men who have their money in

operatives. What they will do
can't be answered accurately. No
man should leave the farm to go into
the milling or manufacturing bus

to do SO. And the effect it

sentatives to the Convention any man
whom they may select. In our opin-
ion they may not only select members
of Congress and judges and preachers
living in the State of Virginia, but
they may go outside and select dele
gates from North Carolina or New
York. 1t is true that the act Of the
Legislature, providing for the election
of delegates, undertakes to say who
shall be eligible, but if the people
should decide that they would not be
bound by that act, what power is
there to prevent them? In short, it
seems TO us the clearest thing in the
world that the powers Of the Consti-
tutional Convention are absolute, and
that the body which has the power, to
wipe out and rewrite the organic law
Of the State has the power also to pass
upon the eligibility of its members.
The people OF this community or that
may select anybody. whom they please,
residing in or out of the State, to rep.
resent them in the Convention; 1T Will
be for the Convention 10 decide as to
whether or not this or that man is

WIRELESS WONDERS.
Professor Fessenden Tells OF What Nay Come
from Wireless TeIegraphy.
(SpcciaI Dispatch to The Times

Especial DISPATCH 10 nc
: NORFOLK, VA, March 1S.-Professor
Fessenden the Weather Bureau wireless
teIegrapIay expert, arrived here to-day
and left this afternoon for Roanoke Is
land, where one of the stations is which
were established recently when the eX-
detrimental trial of Professor Fessenden's
81 sim OF transmitting messages over sea
without wires was inaugurated.
Roanoke Island, on the North Caro-
lima coast, is 127 miles from Cape Henry
and about 15O miles from Norfolk
1t is at present the southernmost sta
tons Of three which includes Capes Hat
teras and Henry.
He said that we shall shortly see in
stalled aboard every ship OF size d re-
ceiver and a transmitter. which shall re-
se;ve tidiags of what is going on ashore
and aboard other ships at sea.
The cost OF these instruments does not
now exceed 500. he said, so that all large
vessels may have them
Professor Fessenden said that soon
there will be at coast points such as
Capes Hatteras and Henry similar in
strl1ments. Then a vessel approaching
the shore or many miles at sea may
telegraph stating that she has lost iier
reckoning She will be answered pN
other ships too far distant to De seen
and also fro mike shore AS snc can
tell whence the sound comes she can
soon ascertain her position Snips III
distress may also communicate to other
ships and to those ashore. her POSITION
how long she can, if likely 10 Sink
remain atioat.
Thus another ship in the vicinity may
come and take her passengers OFT, ana
they need not, as they have heretofore
done. embark in boats at the risk OF
drowning.
IT was said to-day that we shall be-
fore long receive at this point news or
a vessel at sea which is perhaps about
to sink. and we shall knows that death
is approaching aboard. and we shaH
know when and how the lmperliied
died
professor Fessenden said we may ex-
pect to receive message from snip
perhaps hundreds of miles away say
ing that she is out of provisions or
short of coal, and we will be asked to
send assistance to some spot on the
sea the exact location of which will be
told us in the message. We Will be tolo

which she is proceeding, that we may
easily find her.
Professor Fessenden said that he does

ONE THING AT A TIME.

In an interesting letter to The Times
on the Constitutional Convention ques-
ton, published elsewhere, Mr.. Henry
NJ. Holiday cllides lis for not making
some definite recommendations OH the
suffrage question. Mr.. Holiday says.
and truly says, that The Times has
been and is a vigorous champion OF
an honest ballot and steadfastly main
tanned that the State must be rescued
from the demoralizing effect Of dis
honest elections. But now he goes
on, when the crisis has been reached,
when the hour is at hand which shall
determine this most vital Of all public
questions for many years to come, The
Times is still dealing in glittering gen
eralities and discussing the question OF
honest elections from 4 pElosopllic
standpoint, while the practical issue
of the hour seems 10 have escaped its
notice. The people OF Virginia ought
TO know without any telling that per-
jury and fraud in elections are NOR
ally wrong. What they need to be told
is how TO find 4 remedy for the evils
from which we arc suffering.
The answer to our friends charge is
simple. The Times has not discussed
details fer the simple reason that the
time has not come for it. Whenever
the question of reforming the ballot
ill Virginia. was raised in days gone by
the reply was that the people i'll the
black districts must have the means
of preventing negro domination, and
it was contentiel that there could be
20 ballot reform in Virginia so long
as there was the threat of negro rule
And so The Times finally said. let us
have a Constitutional Convention and
remove this threat Of negro domino
ton, and then let us have an honest
election law and have it honestly adj
ministere1.
\ majority of the people of Virginia
took the same view. y Constitutional
Convention was called and the princi-
pal question TO come before that con-
vention, as is conceded, is the Ques-
ton of eliminating the ignorant and
yenal negro vote. With the direct OBJ
ject in view of abolishing election
practices which, as claimed, have been
necessary in certain parts Of the State
to white supremacy. The Times be-
lcves and has 50 expressed itself time
and again that the calling Of this con-
veu,ion is great popular victory i'll
behalf Of honest elections ana 50 The
Times is quite content to let whole
matter rest until the convention shall
have passed upon tho question of negro
suffrage. With that disturbing qucs-
ton out Of the way there will be no
reason why elections in this Stale
should not be as honest as they were
before universal negro suffrage was
foisted upon us, and we firmly and
stcadfastly believe that the people Of
Virginia will thereafter, With one ac-
cord. demand the enactment and eli
forcelncnt Of Il fair and honest cleo
ton law.

CURRENT TOPICS.

Says the Pittshurs Press: In our Jay
the South is the most orthodox portion
OF this country. and there the seventh
day is most strictly observed, in view
OF which it is worth while t. consider
this passage from the second volume OF
Edward Esglestons study of the colo
NAL period. With reference TO the South
he says that the great majority OF early
VirSinians took their Sundays without
fear of divine judgments and without
regard to the Sabbath law of the colony,
passed in 1913. Many of them spent the
day in gregarious and demoralizinS idle
ness. But many of the younger Virgin
ians. and those of the rougher class, gen
orally preferred to spend the idle day of
the week at the nearest Indian village
in rude amuSenlentS and Intercourse with
the barbarians. Throughout the colonial
period. the NirSinian Sunday was never
a rigorous Sabbath but mainly a day OF
leisure of sport and of social enjoyment,
with resort to the church service when
convenient. The typical country squire
of the Chesapeake region treated religion
as Il mere propriety, by no means TO be
taken too seriously: there were many
in the eighteenth century who rejected
it altogether.
The Sabbath in the superlative degree
crossed the high seas with the Puritan
migration. On the Sabbath, in New Eng
land. cattle might not be pastured in the
common field where they would have TO
be watched. food must not be prepared,
nor must one pay a visit or walk IN the
streets or the fields. except to meeting,
nor might one stay at home from meet
ing without danger of fine or whipping
post.
From Monett. Missouri according to
the Chicago Inter Ocean" comes a
buclc-call to servants to protect their
own interests by forming a sort of trust.
Thev have a club in that little town with
the following rules:
II No restriction is to be placed upon
the number Of callers that a girl is al
