have spoken by the card, but the imphca'
ton clearly was that the Convention does
not intend to provide for such body IN
the Constitution. Yet 1t is not too much
to say that nine. tenths of the business men
of the State desire that such commission
with plenary power, shall be provided for
in the Constitution. Is the Convention
going to ignore tits reasonable demand,
while going out of it's way to attempt to
supervise the speech, the morals and the
suffrage of the individual citizen? Are
the common carriers Of the State to be left
to their own devices; to be allowed to con-
tinue the you-be. damned policy Of dis
elimination and insufficient service while
the Convention scrutinizes the beer and
ballot Of the mere citizen?
The Convention MAS called mainly to
accomplish something in the direction OF;
A reduction in the expenses Of govern
ment.
A reduction Of the number Of Offices.
A better road system.
Improvement Of the public school sys'
tenn.
The proper supervision of public service
corporations.
Practically nothing has been done in
any of these matters. On come OF them
there are committee reports that appar-
emily the Convention will be compelled to
adjourn and leave on the calendar unless
more rapid progress is made.
When it observes what the Convention
has done and has not done, and looks to
some of the disastrous consequences that
may follow from both, the Virginian- Pilot
was never more firmly persuaded that II
was right in insisting that the needed
amendments to the Constitution should
have been made by legislative suggestion
and popular ratification.
The Convention is en- able and conscien'
tious body, but that is poor consolation
for four moths of talk on the suffrage
problem and pre- destined failure To
PROVIDE FOR A BUSINESS ADMIN
ISTRATION OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

chise many thousands more now, as the
amount is to be increased one.half
But the poll.tax and property quali6ca'
tons are not the most Ubiquitous features
of the new suffrage scheme, though they
are bad enough. The understanding
clause is the vilest of all. 1t is proposed
to have three partisan commissioners
of registration at each precinct in the
State to pass upon the moral, financial
and intellectual qualifications of the
voters. They will sit in judgment upon
the rights of their fellow citizens, and they
will have full authority to say who shall
not vote. This understanding clause will
give opportunities to the machine parti-
sans to commit more fraud than the Wal
ton election law has ever furnished. The
Richmond News, an ultra Democratic
paper that favors taking the ballot from
the negro, speaking of the clause says:

against provision which means one Of
two things.

Will It Prove a Roaring Farce2
Norfolk WirSinian-Pilot.

Norfolk Wirsinian-Pilot.
There is serious danger that the Consti'
tutional Convention will prove mere
costly fasco. 1t has been in session four
month, now and has not adopted one sim
gle line of the new Constitution. 1t has
talked. The several departmental COM
mIttees have worked faithfully and the
Committee of the Whole has passed upon
some matters, but the Convention as a
body has passed upon nothing finally
Possibly there is purpose to reserve &C.
ton on some matters in order to compel a
compromise on others. Whatever the
reason, nothing has been done.
Perhaps nothing in the whole OF its four
months of sitting has been better calcula'
ted to excite the special wonder and
amazement of the public than the propo-
sition, seriously debated on Monday, that
the General Assembly should not be al
lowed to create any new Office save by a
two.thirds vote. This was in line, to be
sure, with what seems to have been de-
liberate purpose of the Convention to
practically abolish the Legislature, but
that does not diminish our wonder.
We are unable to understand the attl'
tude of the Convention toward the Legis'
lature save on the hypothesis that 1t 10 In
fluenced by a childish resentment OF the
action of the last Legislature in requiring
that it should submit the Constitution to
vote of the people for ratification or rejec-
ton. First there was the proposition that
Senator's should be chosen only once In
eight years; then the quadrenDial session
foolishness was approved; then it was pro-
posed to practically forbid the General
Assembly to create any new office. Why
this profound distrust of the General AS
sembly? We have no desire to champion
the average Legislature or all it does, but
we say without any sort of hesitation that
the average Legislature shows far more
capacity for getting something done than
has the Convention. In any event the
Convention lie taking good deal upon it.
self when it proposes to deprive the people
of reasonable latitude in their own govern
ment through the Legislature.
Another noteworthy incident of the de-
bate on Monday was the remark of Mr..
Barbour that the Legislature should be al
lowed to create railroad commission by
less than two-thirds vote. He may not

THE MOST VICIOUS.

1t seems that the most vicious clause in
the new suffrage plan, reported by the
majority of the Suffrage Committee of the
Constitutional Convention, has been over
looked up to this time. The 3rd section
of that report is as follows:
IS. Electors in county and city cleo
tions shall possess the qualifications pre-
scribed in section of this article; BUT
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY MAY
PRESCRIBE ADDITIONAL QUAL1FI'
CATIONS FOR ELECTORS IN ANY
COUNTY OR CITY OF THIS STATE,
AS PREREQUISITES FOR VOTING IN
ANY ELECTION for county and city of
ficers in such county or city"
This IL a most outrageous, partisan de-
vice to destroy local selfgovernment. II
the section becomes part of the organic
law of the State it will give to partisan
legislatures the authority to select tie
men who shall vote in any Of the counties
of Virginia for county officers. There If
no limit TO the authority give by the Sec
ton. If the General Assembly shall 30
choose, under the authority of this Sec
ton, it could place qualifications on the
voters of Tazewell county as prerequisites
for voting that would restrict the right to
hundred or even dozen citizens Of
choosing our county officers, 1t is most
vicious scheme to rob the people of the
right of local self.government. Will the
people of Virginia tolerate euch an out
rage?
