county delegates happened not
to have any love for Burt and
would not vote for the man he
especially favored At the dem
ocrat state convention Of two
years ago Mr.. Burt prevented
the nomination of j. S. Stearns,
which the Wayne county dele.
gates greatly desired. AT last
weeks convention the Wayne
delegates evened up the score by
defeating Burt's candidate. 1t
is hardly TO be expected that any
very valuable or worthy results
could come from a gathering of
party delegates who would so
far forget their representative
character and privileges as to
permit their personal dislike to
control their actions.

tent 10 acknowledge the line of de
marcation between himself and the
true cockney. But, nevertheless, in a
modified, twentieth century way, he is
against every mans and every mans
against his. He is probably the last
remnant of the worlds old race of wan
derers-the last suggestion of the
primitive man-left TO the cities. He
is to us town jewellers what the gypsy
is TO the countryside. His descent
seems to spring from the same rowing

distance, with the same contempt by
those who don't know him. His habits
and his impulses still SAVIOR strongly

himself and his clan. And although
his pitch is below the curb, his caravan

individual moving from one
school district to another has
comparatively little idea wheth-
er he is under the general law or
whether there are some special
provisions of law which must be
observed. The same is true in
regard to all the laws mentioned
above.
No small item of this local
legislation is taken up for spe-
cial charters for villages and
cities. We believe this is all
wrong, that the constitution
should provide for general char
tiers only, and cities ana villages
should be divided into classes, so
that the interests of the people
will be safeguarded in every par
ticular. The constitution should
make one exception, we believe,
in connection with these city
charters. The power should be
reserved to the legislature In the
granting of these general char
ters to make special provisions
for local taxation.
Conditions in cities and vii
lagos vary so often and so great
ly that harm to the taxpayer
might come from a general rigid
law governing municipal taxes,
and this could be easily adjust
ed.
The legislature, if the provi-
sion of the constitution for spe-
cial legislation was stricken out,
could enact all the laws neces-
sary in a session of not more
than 60 days, and the people Of
the state would thus derive a di-
rect benefit both in legislation
and expense.
The provision of the constitu
ton in regard to corporations
and corporate taxes will need
careful attention. The people
of the state of Michigan ought
to study this question very care
fully between the present time
and the meeting of the next leg
islature, and they should not
hesitate to express their opinion
and even instruct their repre-.
sentatives as to what they desire
to be done.

Indian Discipline.

AS an evidence of Indian discipline
over their children the entertainment
they gave here a few days ago showed
that reverence for their chiefs could
hold even the youngsters in line. A
number of travelling men on the front
seats scattered nickels on the stage,
and the little fellows who were ranged
In a line on the back of the stage in
front Of their mothers scrambled for
money. But no matter how many
coins were thrown while the old
chiefs were making their talks, not
a move was made by the pappooses
until the talk was finished; then there
was a general scramble until the
money was all collected.-Pierre Cor

The voters of Van Buren, coun-
ty are once more asked to meet
in mass convention to place in
nomination candidates for coun-
ty officers in opposition to the
regular republican nominees.
Only few years ago such a
convention was called in this
county and ticket placed in
nomination by a few who were
dissatisfied, but the voters at
that time by their ballots showed
their disapproval of such a course
and elected the entire republican
ticket.
We believe the same will be
done again at the coming cleo
ton, as there is nothing at the
present time to warrant any good
republican in this county to vote
anything but his party ticket
We do not believe any county
in Michigan can boast of a better
lot of county officials than Van
Buren, county has had in the
past, and has at the present
time, and the men who were NOM
mated at the recent republican
convention at South Haven are
known to be men Of equally high
standing and in every way quail
fled to fill the position to which
they aspire.
In fact, we do not believe a
more capable lot of men could
have been nominated.
In the calling of this conven-
ton, the democrats, aided by a
few disappointed republicans,
hope to bring discord in the re
publican party so that they may
be elected to Office. But this
they can never do. AS has been
demonstrated in the past, the re-
publicans of Van Buren, county
are for a square deal and are al
ways willing to abide by the de-
cision of the majority in nomi.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

ONE Vi Gue LuOoO III POi l"h
matters Of business to come be-
fore the next legislature is the
making of arrangements for the
constitutional convention to re-
wise the constitution of the state
of Michigan under vote of the
people at the last election. Such
a convention should be made up
of the best men of the state. 1t
should not be TOO large a body,
and the time within which it
should do its work should be
limited. We believe that a con-
vention consisting of not to eX
coed 90 men will produce better
results than larger body. We
suggest that the constitutional
convention be made up as fol
lows
First. One person elected by
the people of each senatorial dis
trict.
Second. Eighteen men APP
pointed by the governor, and
not more than one half of them
shall be from any one political
party.
Third. One member of the SUI
preme court, to be selected by
that body.
Fourth. The several elective
state officers.
With such a body Of men, rep
resentatives Of the people elect
ed by the people would be in the
majority and could control
The governor in making his
appointments could select the
best men of all political parties,
SO that no charge of partisanship
could be made
TIE state officers would be able
TO ADVISE in regard to the changes
necessary in connection with the
work of each department. In
this way we should secure rep
resentative body of men not too
large, and in whom the people
could place their confidence.
1t is our opinion that the period
of the convention should not ex-
coed 90 days.
In discussing the necessary
changes in our present constitu-
ton it is difficult to forecast just
what should be done. 1t is the
opinion of careful investigators
that the chief trouble with the
present constitution is the fact
that it is too voluminous, in that
1t contains too much law or leg
islation, and is not purely basis
for legislation. A constitution
should be purely basis for law,
and all matters outside of this
should be left to the people
through their representatives.
1t is our opinion that one of
the most glaring defects in the
present constitution is the oppor-
tunity it gives for special legis-
lation. A glance at the records
of the proceedings of past legis-
latures will show that the major
ity of the time has been given to
the enacting of local legislation;
fish laws, drain laws, highway
laws, game laws and school laws
are almost without number. The

MICHIGAN'S status as a manu-

Gently issued by the national cen

even to our states most pessi-

tories by more than 20, 600 IN ad-

surely be equal to all reasonable

The president has shown his
faith in the dollar popular sub
scription suggestion made by the
chairman of the republican con-
gressional committee, and his
favor for the plan, by renting
his dollar to Chairman Sher-
man, accompanied by good wishes
for the movements success.
Michigan republicans, who are
not usually laggards in encour-
aging and supporting worthy
party purposes, can expend one
dollar in no better way than in

Mr. e. II. Hartman is pretty well

magnate, as a fnancier, as the foe of
J. Pierpont Morgan and as the ad-
visor of Odell But his best title to

advice as to the measures to be taken

speech was not eloquent and it was
not long but consisted almost entirely
