CURRENT TOPICS.
A Champion of Daniel.
Col VIM. E. Peters addresses the fol-
lowing card to the Charlottesville Pro-
University of Virginia,

University of Virginia,
April q, 1902.
Editor Progress: I read with some sur
prise Your criticism of Senator Daniel for
his view that the Constitution, as decided
upon by the convention, should be sub
mitted to the vote of the people for rati-
fication. While I should prefer to have
the instrument proclaimed, yet do not
critcise those who were delegates to the
Norfolk convention and voted to submit
the Constitution, when framed. to the
vote of the people I hope this may not
be done, and yet I commend Senator DAN
iel for advocating now what he in good
faith voted for in the Norfolk conven-
ton. You do an injustice also to this
patriotic and gifted citizen as to the value
of his earnest and able efforts as a mem
Der of the convention. Every stage Of the
proceedings of that able body is marked
by the force of intellect and high patriot
ism Of John w. Daniel. In my opinion
the convention is the people in assembly,
and as such. is supreme and has the power
to proclaim the Constitution. This, hope,
will be done.

The Progress replies

The Progress replies:
Senator Daniel undoubtedly did good
service in the convention despite the fact
that he failed to carry his suffrage COM
mittee with him. But we do not blame
him for these shortcomings, nor do we
think that they detract in the slightest
degree from his many splendid personal
attributes. We do blame him. however,
for his attitude in regard to the disposi-
ton Of the new Constitution. We think
that attitude fatal to the entire work of
reform, and utterly unwarranted by the
desires of the people or the force Of the
so-called Norfolk pledges. rs It is the
attitude occupied by the strongest enemies
of reform. and one which seems to us di-
rectly opposite to both the spirit and the
letter Of the call for a Constitutional
Convention. We did not mean our criti-
cism OF Senator Daniels views to be con-
strued into any dispara cement Of that
gentleman's abilities. While not always
practical he is always brave and honest
as well as brilliant. and we desire to be
c,essed among the host Of Virginians who
love him personally, right or wrong.

OPTIMISM.

Pm no refOrmer, for l see more light
than darkness in the world.
Mine eyes are quick to catch the first
dim radiance of the dawn,
And slow to note the cloud that
threatens storm
The fragrance and beauty of the rose
Delight me so, slight thought l give
the thorn;
And the sweet music of the lark's clear
song
Stavs longer with me than the night
hawks cry,
And cen in this great throe Of pain
called life,
I find a rapture linked with each de-
spair
Well worth the price of anguish.
I detect more good than evil in hui
manity.
Love lights more fires than hate ex-
tinguishes.
And men grow better as the world
grows Old.-EllG Wheeler WtIcOT.

the shore was studded with redfre
torches. The return trip was pleasantly
enlivsned with more music by the band
