Tinkering With the
State Constitution.

The Miami Evening Record object
ed to all of the proposed amendments
to the state constitution, voted upon
on Tuesday, upon general principles.
Il believes that an entirely new con-

any sense in biennial tinkering''
with the present one. In its issue of
Tuesday it had the following to say
relative to the matter:
1t Is to be hoped that all OF the
proposed amendments that have been
voted for to-day have been defeated.
The Evening Record makes this as
.sertion after the most careful thought
on the present condition Of the state
constitution and the never ending
amendments that are proposed al
each session of the legislature.
The present state constitution was
adopted in 1885.
During the twenty-one years thai
have elapsed since that time twenty
seven amendments have been made
to the constitution, not counting the
many that have been proposed by the
legislature and have been defeated a

Sky Sailing, the New Sport.

A. w. Rolker is good reporter.
There is no way of telling whether
his article on "Sky Sailing, the New
Sport" in The American Magazine
for November is a description of his
own experiences or of the experiences
of others, but this much is certain
he tells you just how it feels to go
up in a balloon. What the new sport
is like, what it costs, what it's posi-
bilities appear to be, and what the
strange sensations are that you
meet in cloudland, he explains.
After reporting the terrifying small
ness Of the basket that you are invit.
ed to go up in, Mr.. Rolker describes
tie various sensations experienced
as you ascend-how it seems, when
the earth begins to sink, how the
world appears when seen from on
high. Then he tells about the effect
upon your ears, eyes and spirits
about the various sounds on the earth
that reach your ears-about the ap
pearance Of clouds at close range
and the wonders of a thunderstorm
as seen from above.
One of the strange experiences is
that of falling into "a hole in the air,
which Mr. Rolker reports as follows:
"And so you continue sailing, en-
joying the present with little thought
of the startling surprises that may
he before you. Ahead of you, un
seen, may be what the balloonist
calls a hole in the air. resembling
the vortex of a maelstrom, and down
this you may literally fall at rate
which is terrifying until, by sacri
ficing two or three bagfuls Of sand al
once. your pilot checks your down
ward fight. But tSese holes are
scarce, and as a rule the atmosphere
| is of Uniform CARRYING power"

SENSATIONS OF THE
RECENT CAMPAIGN.
Jacksonville Times-Union.)


1t will be a month after the votes
are counted before the public can
fully appreciate the meaning and eff
fects of the campaign of 1906. 1t is
not always that important issues are
squarely presented so that the decis-
ions given at the ballot box cannot
be mistaken-usually both parties
claim the victory and the public
finds that an argument may be
plausibly presented on both sides. But
in this, planks in platform drawn
by hands trained to make the worse
appear the better cause were not con.
sidered-everywhere the president
was the ISSUE" and it was not only
his pet politics but himself before
the people since he took charge OF
the Republican organization in every
state. In New York he forced the
nomination of Hughes and the lead
ership of Parsons against the old or
ganization-in Pennsylvania he SEM
Shaw and Moody to support an or
ganization convicted of wholesale
graft-in Ohio he and Taft drove Coz
