The question of calling a constitu- tiona convention is being agitated over the state and there are a large number of citizens who think that Arkansas needs new foundation of this kind. No doubt a new eonstitu- tion could be framed which would greatly advance the state and all her varied interests. There are many re- forms needed which the present con- stltatlon does not provide for. or per haps absolutely prohibits, and there are many things iii it which are obsolete. But with the present gen eratlon of political grafters in control. could We not reasonably expect them to sell out to the lobby: For our part, We think the state had better wait awhile. until reason be again enthroned among the people. The Arkansas Democrat wisely says that "the apprehension that a lot of bod. iers might slip into the convention and sell the people to the lobby and to the trusts and protected interests. deters many from declaring in favor of new conStit tuition.
