ture to submit the proposed change to

prove, then the cnange becomes part
Of the fundamental aaw.
It is pointed out that under this plan
the people themselves would be the more
important factors in effecting constitu-
tional changes, whereas the existing
method makes the Legislature the more
important factor. Our Springfield con-
temporary is inclined to favor the plan.
contending that as 3 matter Of govern
mental theory. there is no essential
change from the original conception
constitutions anc governments there
under arise from the people" it proceeds
"and rest upon the popular will, ana
where Legislatures are sensitive repre-
sentations of the popular will, the present
method of amending the constitution may
be called popular, but under tho pressure
or special interest and the intrusion of
political machines and partisan pre1u-
dices. it comes about that the Legislature
is not always the clearly representative
body it should be under a Democratic
theory Of government"
Constitutions are supposed to embody
only the primary principles of law, ana
as principles do not vary. so there should
be no necessity for changes IN the con-
stitution. But in this country the peo-
nile are the government, and they have
a right to change the organic law as well
as the statutory law whenever they de-
sire to do so. The method of amending
the constitution in most of the States
is difficult and slow in process. and no
matter what the emergency the people
must wait for the tedious process to take
its course A decision of the Supreme
Court, involving u statute, may throw the
machinery Of the State into disorder and
cost a great deal of money; yet there
must be a lapse Of years before the peo-
pie can make the change. Civilization
means simplicity and the greater our
civilization the less OF red tape there
will be in government processes.

SUBSIDIES AND popULlsu.

One of our contemporaries in discussing
the ship-subsidy bill, says that the idea
was borrowed from the Populists, or
course. this bin and all measures
like it ere Populisto. Indeed, there
IS little difference in principle be-
tween Republicanism and Populism.
The only difference is that the
Populists believe in paternal form of
government, which will help all the peo-
pie to make a living, while the Republic
cans believe in paternal government,
which will help this class and that.
But Democracy Is opposed to both Re-
publicaism and Populisn. Democrats
believe in n government for the peo-
pie, but they believe that it is the func
ton Of government to protect the people
in their liberty, to protect ono man anc
one class from trespassing upon the
rights of other men and other classes;
to give to each and every citizen the
same right and privilege enjoyed by
every other citizen, but to give no spe-
cial privileges to any; to aid none by
appropriation or class legislation, but,
having cleared the way, to let every man
work out his salvation by his own brain
and Drawn.
Democracy can no more consort with
Populism than it can consort with Re-
rublicanism. Democrats are class unto
with Populists and Republicans. If the
the institutions of this country are to
be preserved it will lie the Democrats
of the country. If the Democrats are
ever converted or absorbed by the Re
publican party or the Populist party our
popular form of government will soon
be a name only.

The future of the South, particularly

a fattering one. Nowhere else in the

activity. Soil and climate alike appear

ably than any other section of the cour-
try will the South share in the fruits Of
conQucsts of new lands and markets
which are embraced in the present move
ment of commercial expansion. and rich.
indeed promises to be the heritage which
tie South of to-day will leave to its
children and its children's children.
The South is the NOSE favored of all

the minerals, the waterways and all
things necessary TO trade and industry.
II we do not grow rich it will be our
own fault.
