A Lame Conclusion.

The Pioneer Press has concluded that
the constitutional rule that a proposed
amendment to the constitution, to be val
1dated, must have a majority of all the
votes cast at the election is a wholesome
one. The declaration is perfectly plain,
but the reasons for it are not convincing.
Moreover, the Pioneer is satisfied with the
defeat of the amendment increasing the
rate of taxation Of railway gross earn
tngS, and does not seem to think that
much has been lost through the defeat
of the tax reform amendment. 1t thinks
that both did so we'll this time that, with
a little remOdeling, they would pull
through in a second heat, and is gener-
ally convinced that the present constitu-
tional rule regarding amendments by no
means operates a an estoppel of all
amendment.
We are unable to share the Pioneers
optimism on this point Five amend
ments have been submitted to the people
since the rule was adopted in 1898, and
all of them were defeated. Between 1892
and 1902, twenty one amendments have
been submitted to the people. The six
teen that were submitted during the op-
GRAFTON of the old rule that a majority of
those voting on the amendments, instead
of all voters, carried them were adopted
but fifteen Of them would have been de-
feated under the present rule; that 1s
they failed to get a majority of all votes
cast. &c. if we had adopted in 1890 the
rule we foolishly adopted in 1898, Mime
sofa in ten years would have been able
to amend it's constitution but once: yet he
will be rash indeed who will say that of
these fifteen amendments there is none
that deserved enactment
The fact is that the adoption of the
most pressing constitutional amendments
is hardly within the realm of the possible
under the present rule, and with the
amendments printed on the same ballot
with the state ticket.
AS to the Pioneers idea of cumulative
interest in amendments ultimately car
rying them through, it is enought to say
that the amendment regarding increas-
ing the limit of school fund loans to local
governmental bodies had it's second heat
this time, and, although it was measure
calculated to appeal to local self interest
all over the state, was overwhelmingly
defeated both times.
1t will be interesting to know whether
when the gross earnings bill comes ut
in the legislature again, the Pioneer Press
will be found promoting it, If the Pho.
neer's previous attitude had not indicated
that it is not especially desirous of ar
increase Of the rate of taxation of rail
ways, we might attach more Importance
to it's complacent conclusion that consti.
tutional amendment is far from impos-
sible.

This Is a. valuable book for students Of
| history, for the author has put In at
tractive shape, not only a biography Of
! Milton, but a detailed description Of the
London of the period Of a great forward
movement Of the champions Of human
liberty, Milton was born eight years be-
fore Shakspere died, when English litera-
ture had been enriched by the genius of
the Elizabethan age and on the verge OF
the contest with the Stuarts for English
rights as against royal encroachments.
His preference for poetry was not fully
gratified, for the eXigencies Of the time
compelled him to relinquish his ambitious
plans and give his most robust and pat
riotic thought to controversial writing as
member of the council of state under
Cromwell. This volume details the social
Econditions under which Milton lived and is
practical guide to the old London and
its notable buildings before the confiagra-
tion OF the city In 1866, with some ac-
count Of the new London which rose upon
