THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The coming Constitutional Convention
will soon be the all absorbing question III
Virginia politics. Most Of the newspapers
in Virginia, both Democratic and kepubh'
can, hold that the convention should be
non partisan body. 1t would be well II
such thing could be accomplished; but
that will be impossible. The calling of the
convention was the work of politicians,
and it is reasonable to suppose that their
aim is political benefits to be secured.
1t is true, that when the convention
question was first agltated those who
favored it declared the purpose to be the
securing of a more economical administers
ton of the affairs of the State and the
publication of elections. Already, even
with advocates of the convention, doubts
begin to be expressed as to whether either
of the declared objects are likely to be at
tanned by framing new Contribution for
the State.
When asked how the expenses of the
State Government are to be reduced, those
who made promise of such result, are
unable to tell or show. 1t is now admit
ted that there is not much prospect for the
reduction of the State expenses, except by
transferring them to county and municipal
governments. That would be merely
shifting the burdens of taxation from one
shoulder to the other shoulder of the tax
payer.
Upon the question Of the publication of
our elections by restricting suffrage, the
convention advocates are getting more
hopelessly at sea. At first they declared
that object could be attained by eliminat-
ing the negro from politics. The negro
was to be deprived of tue right to vote by
the application Of educational and proper
ty qualifications. There has been a grow
ing tendency to silence on the part of those
who a short time ago were crying aloud
for the disfranchisement of the negroes.
This has resulted from apprehension on
the part of the advocates of restricted
suffrage that an educational and property
qualification for voting would have to APP
ply to whites as well as blacks, or that il
would be declared unconstitutional. An
other reason for the growing indisposltior
of the politicians to recede from restricting
negro suffrage on the large scale as a
first proposed is fear Of reduction Of
the representation Of t e state II
Congress and the Electoral College
There is also class of politicians, VIII.
constitute the Machine, that are opposed
to restricting suffrage by deprivlng TIT
illiterate and purchasable voters of the
right to vote. The Machine can always
by the assistance of a partisan election law
control both the iiterate and mercenary
voters. They can cheat one class and buy
the other.
We may be mistaken, but we are incline
to believe that the coming Constitutions
Convention will he partisan body. We
are also of the opinion that it will not only
fail to give the Taxpayers Of the State
more economical government, but that il
will decline to make the radical changes in
our suffrage laws that were first intended

We Now Nave Lots Of Respect for The Team
from Aroostook.

The HoultOn ball team came fresh
from its victory over the Geralds in
Fairfield to try its hand at Watervillc.
The players were brought down on "A
buck board in order to be on hand at
the advertised time. and a good share
Of the crowd followed them on the next
electric. Bobby" Vail was still in the
box for the visitors. although he had
just pitched very hard game success
fully. When Waterville faced him she
expected to pound him some and per
hapS Houlton expected the same thing
bat il didn't happen. Waterville took
just one more hit off him than the
Geralds. and didn't get a run. one run
and nine hits in two games in one af
tclnoon. How's that for a pitching
record? Perhaps Bobby can stand
| that sort Of thing but he is too good
material for his management to haz-
ard in that style.
The visitors We're first at the bat and
took two runs in the first inning just
| as they had in Fairfield. but they did
not get them quite so easy. Three sin
giles did the trick. Kane. who man.
aged the Houlton players so success
fully from the box in the other game
with Waterville. was pitching. Perhaps
the few innings he pitched in the other
game were just enough to size him up.
| Anyway. Houlton sailed into him with
out mercy in the second lining. This
was an awful inning. Two singles.
| triple that came near being a homer
| four stolen bases. a wild pitch and an
| error netted five runs. Houlton could
|
with the Geralds but she squeezed
| them out of a single one with Water
vile. 1t was evident that Kane had
| been sized up. so he was replaced by
| Nee onnell in the fourth inning. But he
couldn't hold them much better and the
| crack of the ash sticks was heard in
| the land with diScouraging frequency
Only Abbotts sprinting ability saved
one at least from being a home run
and as it was he took nasty tumble
over the cindcr track.
| The home team only made three err
| rors, but poor judgment was used in
| many ways and good team work was
| lacking. Then there was cOnsidera BILE
Ineffective throwing and too little GIN
| ger. Houlton apparently payed with as
much ZeSt as if ii was the first game
| of several days. and took advantage of
every opening afforded. Waterville was
simply outclaSscd from the beginning
The last three innings were good ones
and Waterville, played pretty game
then. 1t looked as if the tables ought
to be turned and that Waterville
should be playing the second game of
the afternoon instead Of Houlton. The
first five innings were bad ones but
Watervlle steadied then and didn't
allow another score.
1t was the old story of the game be-
ing dropped early. No one was particu-
larly to blame and some beautiful plays

was usually unlucky. Her hits or the
bad plays by the visitors usually came
with two men out. There were several
situations that would have meant
scores if they had come with no one

and squarcly but was .outclassed. The

"Canuck' had its first performance at
IA Broadway theatre, New York. with
n cast Of New York favorites. such as
Mrs. Annie and Miss Jennie feamans,
Wilton Lackay. Miller Kent. and Mr..
Rankin himself The only actor in the
cast whom New Workers did not know
was Mr.. CoWles The next morning
the newspapers We're asking, Who IS
he? Where does he come from? etc
The leading dramatic critics of the
Metropolis said. New York has nevc.
seen better piece of character act
ing" Mr.. Cowles fully justified the
high opinion of New Workers. Year by
year he played many parts-always
the Yankee-with Rankin. with Hoyt
and with Rice. Then Rankin wrote
for him a play. "A Country M.r-
chant" to the stellar part Of which
Mr. Cowles brought vast artistic ex-
perienc". and the results OF a life study
