furnish bhem with a hole to crawl
out Of the embarrassing situation into
which their campaign Of villification
and abuse Of the delegates and the
constitution have led them They see
daily. membels Of their own party
going over to the constitution and
progress and feel that the situation
is growing desperate. Hence this de.
mane.
The Leader long ago pointed out
to them what their course would
.lend aihen to ana called on them in
|tB0 uahle 81 tho sovereign people OF
'dllSIln ana whose delegates they SO
'viclonsly attacked to drop partisan
prejudice, and even Federal pap, and
come to the rescue of the grand new
state from Federal servitude. They
needed not the call. Now they call
loudly for a reconyening OF the con-
vention and some change that will
enable them to let loose Of the hot
end Of the poker 10 which they find
themselves attached as result Of
their campaign OF aUrse.
The thing for them to do Is to about
face, do now what they should have
done long ago and come on and sup
port the constitution and statehood
and help bring on the grand neN era
OF political freedom, to supplant
political seryitude.
Whatever party takes up the do
noSlns side aad attempts TO block
the progress OF state into the
Union. may expect TO meet the wrath
OF long disappointed and outraged
people Patience has ceased to be a
virtue
The people will refuse longer to re-
main ostracised and disfranch'sed
among the states to accommc late
any political clique, and the re- pub
lican bosses and their lewspal ers
may as well take notice of thetFllt

OF course they have already ruined
the chances of their party for success
at the coming election, but there sie
others yet to come and it pays TO get
right and stay put In politics as well
as in any other matter
The conatiSution OF the new state
has been written and will become the
law of one of the grand
est states in the Union. II may not
suit everybody No constitution will
ever do tha3 But this one was writ
ten by the authority and command OF
the people of the new state. II is
well written: IL is reasonable in It's
provisions and Is worthy the support
of every man who prefers local self
and authoritative partici-
patton in Federal affairs to continued
territorial serfdom.

in the English channel, which. varies
from about one and half to two and
half inches at the age of three
to four mouths to 21lk inches at the
end Of the sixth summer. A series
of scales taken from the same fish at
various periods are also exhibited in
illustration of another method OF de-
ternining the age of fish. In like
manner number Of plaice taken from
the bays and estunries on the cas-.
coast of England. the English channel
and the southern part OF the North
sea are on exhibition, an examination
showing that for the first three years
the growth rate of both males and fe.
males is practically Identical, and
that after that period the growth Of
the males is slower than that Of fe-
males, circumstance which is as
sociated with the earlier maturity Of
the males.

AFRAID 70 TRUST THE PEOPLE

The Oft repeated assertion that the

capital out Of the new state Is, and
can be predicated only on one thing,
and that Is that the people OF the
new state propose 20 be unjust in
their treatment Of capital, that they
WIZ abuse the powers confided to
them and their officers by the con.
stitutioa TO the injury Of invested
capital
II IS conceded that the constitution
nowhere commands any injustice, but.
even IN It's strongest places, only
puts the power Ia the hands Of the
people 20 defend their rights against
the undue aggression OF organized
wealth
Even IN the very strongest place,
where the passenger rate Is reduced
10 two cents. II IS provided that upon
a showing that this wonld not be re-
munerative, that the corporation com
mission saall raise the limits so that

that they could not be trusted TO do
justice 10 wealth corporate and other
wise. and that therefore. il the con
ftiiution IS adopted. wealth would be
