About our Fall Purchase

Wool is higher and wool is scarce,
but after all this does not concern us
very much, as we have made previous
arrangements for a great many hun
dred yards of woolens to be made up
in mems and boys suits. We looked
ahead and knew the advance was
coming. Our stock for the fall and
winter will be great, in fact the as
sortment will be much larger than
ever before, and while our line of
clothing has been bettered each year,
still we make the assertion, that
fall stock of clothing will surpass all
previous records as to quality and
workmanship. Watch us.

the constitutional amendment ought
to be urged is that it would do the
country good to be assured that the
Constitution has not ossified. There
has been no amendment to that ven
cradle instrument since the recon
struction period, and ratification then
was practically forced from some of
the States. 1t would be reassuring to
the country to have, in this genera
ton. the experience of amending the
fundamental law. It would keep
some people from getting pessimistic,
and it would cheer up others to press
for reforms which they believe ex-
tremely necessary, along constitu-
tiOnal lines.
Let the forthcoming national con-
ference on this subject. which is to be
held in Washington, start a serious,
organized, intelligent movement for
a constitutional amendment, and it

was all thanks.
Thus a friendship sprang up between
them and year later she was Nine.

WhU Not an Amendm ent?

Ihat uniformity Of divorce laws is
unattajnable through State legfsla-
tive cooperation. and that consti-
tutonal amendment such as would
give Congress jurisdiction is equally
impossible. is the conclusion voiced
hy Walter S. Logan, of New York,
who has been investigating the sub
Ject as a commissioner of his state.
Mr. Logan believes that while uni
form agreement as to causes for di-
vorce cannot be secured. it is pos
sible to get agreement as to proce-
dure, length OF residence, and such
details. which would considerably i'm
prove conditions Therefore. he
would direct energies toward getting
the half loaf which he considers at
tainable.
Recalling the long years of effort to
secure State uniformity in laws gov
erning negotiable paper. and how far
from uniformity We still are. it is
difficult TO fHd warrant for such hone
as Mr.. Logan entertains. The uni
form negotiable paper movement has
had tremendous influence back of
it. and has made progress; but uni
formity is yet a long way in the
future.
On the other hand. the constitu-
tional amendment plan does not
seem nearly so hopeless, on examina-
lion, as il does at first blush. The
country has come to consider. consti-
tutional amendment practically i'm
possible, because its conclusions are
drawn from the experience of the pro-
posal for popular election of Senators.
There are obvious reasons, personal
TO the members of that eminent body.
why they should have discouraged
this proposal and invariably pigeon
holed It.
But the movement for a constitu-
tional amendment to reach the di-
vorce evil would not have the same
difficulties TO meet. There would be
a tremendous sentimental support for
such a proposal, and sentimental snip
port is powerful with Congress.
