ment, the adoption of such an a.
mendment would introduce an ele-
ment OF instability which, in any Or
ganic law, is to be feared.
In state to which thousands Of
people come every year in hope of
curing some constitutional defect &C
quired through unwise action on
their part or bad environment OF one
kind or another. the people ought to
appreciate the wisdom Of maintain
ing a good constitution when once
they have it. We may depend upon
it that the less tampering and eaper-
iment we do with our state constitu-
ton, the better will it be for the
body polite. Some enthusiastic
students of pathological conditions
have run the risk of imparing good
constitutions for the sake of science.
But Colorado is not called upon to
incur such risks or make such exper-
iments. 1t would better let other
communities inocculate their veins
with the virus of experiments and in
novations.-Denver Republicans.

Give the Constitution a Rest.

Evidently the only thing that pre-
vents the legislature at this session
from discussing a proposition to
submit amendments to more than
six articles of the constitution is the
provision restricting amendments to
only six articles. The stream Of
constitutional amendments is always
bank full, and to deepen the channel
is but to swell the flood.
Already j. Warner Mills, not con.
tent with the ordinary method of
changing constitution, has intro
duced us to the great sociological
wave" theory. There will be no
keeping this wave back, whatever
the number of shipwrecks it may
cause, if the constitutional restric
ton upon the number of articles that
may be amended is removed. Not
only j. Warner Mills sociological
wave, but any conceivable number
of other waves will sweep in upon
as, and in short time very little of
the constitution will be left.
But so long as the supreme court
has not decided that the "sociologi
cal wave" theory is correct, it would
be well for the legislature to let th 9
constitution alone, as far as possible.
It is good instrument. The courts
have interpreted most of its leading
and the people under
stand it. Even admitting, for sake
of tbe argument, that some propos-
ID change would be slight improve
