applied to contractors on public work
was declared unconstitutional. Hence
a movement to amend the constitution
itself SO as TO permit such municipali-
ties as desire 1t to put an eight-hour
law into effect will engage the working
mems attention generally. Eight hours,
however, Is but one feature of the pro-
posed amendment. 1t also provides for
charters for the cities, to be adopted
by the referendum, and amendments
to charters by the same system. Ii
New York city could have charter
framed for itself, by it's own citizens,
it would have reform worth every
thing else now called for in the name
of municipal reform.
This proposed constitutional amend
ment is the result of the labors Of a
special committee of New York's citi-
zens which was appointed last winter
at mass meeting held in Cooper
Union. Among the more active men,
bers are j. G. Ager, president Reform
club; ex-Congressman John De Witt
Warner; ex-senator John l.. Ford;
Aspinwall Hodge, Professors Frank
Goodenow and H. L. Kirschweg, of
Columbia University; Charles Sprague
Smith and Milo Roy Maltbie. The ac-
tive labor members Of the committee
were Charles Oberwager and J. w.
Sullivan.
The Central Federated union of New
York and the Brooklyn Central Labor
union have both Endorsed the amend
ment, as have other central labor bod
les in the state.

Rhode Island

The Rhode Island people do not give
up. Though their beloved governor,
Dr. Garvin, was corruptly defeated for
last November, they have
again introduced the amendment for
popular initiative on constitutional
amendments and are urging its pas
sage. At a hearing given on Feb. g.,
General Chas. r. Brayton, the repub-
lican state boss, sent a letter opposing
it, in which he said that the PROPOSE
ton would be dangerous and unpopu-
lar, first, because it submits import
ant matters to the people, without
sanction of any authoritative or re-
sponsible body, such as the legisla-
ture; second, that it impairs the per-
manence of the constitution, and in
terferes with the doctrine of consti-
tutional limitations.
Beside it permits danger of the
adoption, as part of the constitution,
of matters proper only for statute;
that different persons might submit
amendments of similar scope, but con-
fiicting in details, at one and the same
time, and all of them be adopted. Also,
that petitioners may all be from one
section of the state, and that wholly
new constitution, or several articles OF
amendments, might be submitted as a
specific amendment.
Another important objection which
was raised by General Brayton, is that
| little interest is taken by the average
person in constitutional questions, and
| therefore the people, by voting unin.
| diligently on questions submitted to
them, would not have their sentiments
respected to any extent.
When the hearing got under way, ex-
| Governor Garvin made some remarks
| in which he said, as reported by the
Providence Journal:
"The proposed amendment provides
| that any 5000 voters, by filing with
the secretary of state petition for a
specific constitutional amendment
may have that amendment submitted
| to the people for their adoption or re
lection by majority vote. This is to
| inject no new principle into our re
| publican form of government. On the
contrary, it is calculated to carry out
the intent of the founders OF American
institutions that the organic law should
be directly within the control OF the
people.
For the fundamental law the refer
endum already exists. What this reso
luton proposes is to add to that the
popular initiative. The effect OF this
pending amendment, if made part OF
our constitution, plainly would be tt
place the constitution of the state
under the direct, but deliberate, con
troll of majority of the qualified cleo
tors. 1t is essential to our scheme O
government. The departure from the
original design of the revolutionar!
statesmen has been the cause OF the
many admitted evils which have ariser
in the government of our cities, states
and nation"

FEW HALLOWEEN FRANKS.
The Ancient Custom Was Lightly
Observed in Roswell, But There
are Few in Trouble.

Halloween, the ancient hallowed
day of the Druids and other people
of Northwestern Europe, was but
lightly observed in Roswell last night.
After many years of fun for the boys,
who corrupted the original meaning
of the event, the day is passing from
observance. Even the observance in
the corrupted sense of tearing up
buildings and property and carryil lg
off chattels is becoming unpopular,
and every year the depredations are
less. A number of outbuildings over
town were upset and a few gates re-
moved. Quite a number of horses
were turned out of their stables. The
officers have the names of 20 or 80
young men and boys, and if any of
the injured property owners make
complaint to Judge Bailey they will
be prosecuted.

Abolition Of the Beer canteen.

Dear Editor: / beg through the coll
umns of your esteemed journal to pre-
sent some statements recently made by
|U. S. Army Chaplain O. ]. Nave, at the
Columbus, Ohio, National Anti-Saloon
League meeting Among other things
Chaplain Nave said; eThe abolition Of
the canteen has not increased the num-
Der Of saloons [licensed) in the imme-
date neighborhood Of the post. AT Fort
Thomas, KY, where / am located, there
were in Jan, 1901, nine licensed saloons,
and in Oct, 1904, there were but SEVEN
81 appreciate beyond all description
what the Anti-Saloon League has done
for the u. S. Army, in driving the sale
of intoxicating liquors out OF the post
exchanges.
"We don't need any appropriations If
we can only have our exchanges back
again with the liquor selling portion
The action OF Congress abolished not
the canteen, but only the liquor selling
portion Of that canteen. The exchange
department for the necessities for the
soldiers, was not touched by the Anti
Canteen legislation, but the War Depart
ment, as Chaplain Nave plainly indicates,
has dealt unfairly in the matter, in
that it has in many instances put out
the canteen or post exchange entirely,
when only be beer saloon Of the canteen
was affected by Congressional lcgisla-
tion.
Let the exchange be restored and the
appropriations Of Congress become OPP
eratiye, and then let judgment be rem
dered Yours sincerely, w A. Kinzie
