PROCLAIM. OR NOT PROCLAIM.

,rhe discussion as to whether or not the
new Constitution shall be submitted is be-
coming more and more interesting The
washington Post takes it UP and says
that there ought to be no question OF
The ACCESSIBILITY of submitting the new
Constitution to the vote Of the electorate.
1t directs attention to the fact that the
delegates TO the State Convention, held
at Norfolk, speaking for the Democratic
party, declared that the new Constitution
when framed fought to be submitte1. 10
The vote of the people for ratification or
rejection The Post thinks that if there
8 were no other reason for submission that
ought TO be sufficient.
The Post does not seem to understand,
however. that it is not Inc purpose to
Submit the new Constitution ito the Vote
of the people for ratification or Rejection
1t is The purpose to submit 1t 10
part of the people. The POST
insists that the new Constitution
shall be submitted 10 Tho vote of the
electorate But what electorate: The
present electorate? If that is what our
Washington contemporary means it will
find very few Democrats in Virginia TO
agree with It. The proposition is to SUB
init It only to those who will be permitted
under the new Constitution to vote.
Again, as VIC said in yesterdays pa
E 1,er. some Of those who are in favor Of
submission say that it is proper. if not
necessary, to proclaim the suffrage clause
s. and then 10 submit the other part OF
the instrument to those who will be per-
mitted uncer this proclaimed suffrage
clause TO vote.
Still again: Some OF the newspapers
are saying that when the convention was
called there was general understanding
that the new Constitution would lie sub
,mitted for adoption or rejaction and there
fore urge that the members live up to
that understanding and let the people pass
upon the question 1t was the general
understanding of many people, if not Of
most people. IL not of all the people. that
the new Constitution would be submitted
TO the existing electorate.
That was our understanding. and we
said so as soon as the question was
raised. One OF the most distinguished
Z members of the Constitutional Conycn-
ton recently said in our hearing that 1t
was his understanding; that he SO under
stood 1T when the resolution was adopted
& by the Norfolk Convention. Of which he
vas member, and that he SO understood
/ 1t when The question was canvasscd be-
fore the people
Now let us all be entirely frank about
& this matter. Ii ne stand by the pledge

Die generally understood it, Il no stand

NEW OIL WELL A WONDER.
Production of RichIand, KY, Gusher
Estimated at 5000 Barrels Daily,

BARBOURSVILLE, ky. April 9.-'The
Wage Well No. 2, which has come in on
Richland Creek, is considered TO be the
best oil well yet drilled in Kentucky. save
perhaps the Wage Well No. l. which came
in about 400 feet from the present one last
February.
The capacity of the last well is est
mated by conservative oilmen to be 5000
barrels daily.
The fact that these wells are at such
a distance from each other 1t is believed
destroys the argument that the first sush-
er was merely a freak in the geological
formation of the sand, and gives proof
that there is an immense basin OF oil
underneath. the extent of which is IN
known The new well rivals the Beau
mont gushers.
It is considered the best of the four
Kentucky Wells belonging to the Allan
tic and Pacific Oil Company.

BOARD is IN DEBT.

Money Needed for Foreign Missions
The Pulpit and the Papers.
AS the time for the meeting of the South
ern Baptist Convention draws near the
Foreign Mission Board, located here, is
making urgent appeals for contributions.
The Board, at the present time, is in DEBT,
having been forced to borrow heavily to
meet current expenses.
The last convention asked for s2oo,0Oo
for foreign. missions, and up to March
18th last only $4,000 had been raised. This
left 100000 to be raised in forty-five
days-an average Of over $4,000 per day.
Virginia is very backward in her con-
tributions this year. By April Soth she
will have to raise So, $50 more if she gives
as much as she did last year.
The Southern Churchnan this week
takes exception editorially to the state
ment that the press and other agencies

The Churchman also combats the state

of the University of Michigan. that

way of conclusion: Eve do not believe
for one moment that all these agencies
combined, and all others that can be
thought Of begin to exert SO potential
an influence for moral uplift and spir-
itual development as the Christian pulpit.
Nor do we believe that any means will
ever be discovered by which the sermon
can be successfully displaced by any other
agency.
The subject Of Christian education is
receiving no little attention just now at
