I<s,sissure and Convention.

Yhs Norfolk Landmarks returns 10 the
0k}sct Of tbs contemplated defiance by
the Virginia Constitutional Convention
of the provision In the aci OF last spring
that the now Constitution should Us sub
mittsd 10 tho qualified voters Of tbs
State for ~rstification or rejection.
We askcd the Landmark for tie opinion
- 70 tho bearing Of that provision on
the oourss Of procedure now proposed
1t replies:
Beside Q Constitutional Convention. .
LDsxslsfurs 10 . pysny. IL b the convention
Nat sive- orders TO the Legislature. not the
Iostalafurs that gives order 70 the conven-
ton. IL the Legislature cousi control Ia The
sllsht>st degree the action Of the Constftu-
tsonal Convention. the convention would not
be What 10 ought 10 be ana 4 the peopl" ~
ooncrcs The possibility Of a little c9ntrol
would imply the possibility Of complete coH-
troll
This illustrates, rs well a. anything
could, the topey-turvy condition into
which the logical processes Of certain
able virginians have been thrust by the
stress Of supposed eIpediency.
The Convention would have been " the
people 10 concrete II the people at the
polls had voted Yes on a proposition 20
make IL 90. They didn't. They did not
delegate unlimited and final powers 20
the members they elected TO repre-
sent them in the Convention. They
were called upon by the act OF the Leg
islature TO vote for or against a PROPOSE
ton TO elect men 10 draft n form OF Con-
stitution which they themselves were
subsequently TO vote to accept or Ia re-
ject. They voted on that proposition.
They delegated limited powers. not un-
limited. The Convention Is 81 the people
In concrete" only for the purpose Of pre-
pairing amendments for the people 10
vote on later.
II In. therefore. not the Legislature
that controls the action and limits the
powers Of this convention. The con-
trolling and limiting power is the people
Of Virginia.

Btovoles M Atdershot.

Although the cyclist manmuvres ut
Alderrhot were significant in many re-
spects. the lessons they taught, says the
Army and Navy 0usstts. were " chiefly OF
a negative kind" That II to say, in
stead Of demonstrating satisfactorily
what wheelmen can do when properly
organized for military duty. the manGu-
vres tended TO prove what they cannot
do. at least under such conditions as ex-
isted during the recent tests. Hence, II
can scarcely be said that the experiments
conducted by Major-Gen. DoUoLAs,
which originally were intended to dem
onstrate the efficiency Of cyclists when
operating in large bodies, were entirely
successful.
Nevertheless. the operations served one
very useful purpose. namely. that Of de-
termining many Of the peculiarities at
tending the movement Of infantry by
means Of the two wheeled engine of loco
motion: and this result may perhaps hs
regarded as next in Importance 10 that
which would show what military wheel
men might actually accomplish.
First. inssmuch A. bicycles Of differ
ent makes possess different qualities. IL
was found that some definite steps should
be taken TO ascertain what model 10 best
suited for military service. The machines
used we're OF all sorts and grades. some
high gsared and some low-geared. some
new and some old. and. consequently,
their speed and possibility of control
varied greatly.
Secondly. opinions differed as 10 the
pace which should be maintained.
Whether seven miles or ten miles an
hour should he the average is still a sub
ject Of discussion; and. Of course. this
problem was ~sndered extremely dini-
cult OF solution because Of the varying
powers Of the mounts used.
Thirdly, IL wa made clear that 3 certain
uniform distance should be preserved
between units; and. fourthly. some
quick and safe method OF transmitting
orders along the line while in motion re-
! mains TO BE decided upon.
One important operation planned by
Gen. DoUGLAs would have placed a body
Of cyclist infantry i.2cO strong squarely
on the flank Of an opposing force, and
doubtless would have given the wheel
men a fine chance TO reveal their true
worth: but. unfortunately. 1t appears
that the motor vehicle which conveyed
the vital Instructions broke down on the
way. an the expected movement &c
cordingly did not take place.
The experiments. therefore. were
chiefly valuable in that they showed tho
absolute necessity Of still further expert
ments. IL the wheel Is To play a conspicu-
ous partin the British militia. Obviously
the present status Of the cycle as an
auxiliary in war il not what IL should bc
in Great Britain, considering the promi-
hence which IL has attained in other
countries, notably In Germany and
France. The English Generals might
profit somewhat by reviewing the prog
RES which has been made with the wheel
in the French army, particularly.

The Hired Girls Union.

A little while ago some Chicago ser
want girls formed an association with
the magniloquent name The Working
Nomen's Association of America. The
first open meeting Of the association
was held ia the Recital Hall Of the
Auditorium the other night. Both in its
aims and It's surroundings the new soci-
ETY. seems magnificent. IL IN impossible
10 resist the belief that its inspiration
and origin came from that general pas
sionate longing for club life which pre-
walls among the women Of Chicago. A
clubless life il becoming not only un-
fashionable, but almost unthinkable in
the %gynocratic circles" OF the Windy
City. ~ belong TO q club; therefore i
hve:" Such is the process Of rstiocination
in that gregarious town. A demand for
club privileges and club evenings il in
cluded. We believe, in the declaration OF
Independence promulgated by these adj
vanced hired girls. Like mistress. like

they imagine. by the end Of housekeep-
ing. A house divided against itself can
not stand. The club-seeking instinct
being strongcr in Chicago than the house
keeping instinct. the latter will go down.
Thus the Working Women Of America
ma find themselves out Of a job.
But these things ARE the idle fantasies

holders who cannot keep a servant. The
club ladies Of Chicago need no defence.
II is characteristic OF their large out

and their interest in clubs. that some Of
