West virginia's Needs.

There seems to be growing dis
position among West virginians to
amend their constitution, says the
PIttsburg Gazette Times, and there is
reason for it, as 1t is a somewhat an
tiquated instrument d Democratic in
spiration in the days of 1872. Since
that time the State has marked a
marvellous progress in the develop
ment Of its natural resources, and in
the growth of social and educational
standards. What the State really
needs is new constitution and not
patchwork of organic law. /.
Just now complaint is made OF the
possibilities of gubernatorial success

the president OF the senate shall be

that. should the governorship be
vacated. the place could be filled by
man elected by a mere handful of
voters. as the senate of West vir-
ginia as at present constituted is
composed of 30 members. The dam
ger Of such a succession, It is claim
ed, lies in the probability that the
president OF the senate may hold
views directly opposite to the policies
Of his predecessor. OF course. this
is merely speculative. but the people
of West Virginia, under all the cir
cumstances, are not unreasonable in
their demand for the creation OF the

The State Board of Trade is CO.
operating with the newspapers in
many particulars. and in doing this
it doubtless represents the several
constituent boards OF trade 1t has.
and all other boards OF trade should
emulate ii, as such organizations
should all be in full sympathy with
newspapers that have spent years In
effort, talent and energy in building
up their respective communities,
usually so without any compensation
or credit, whatever. In truth, news
papers prepare the way for such
boards as a general thing. They are
first of all to bring about that con-
dition OF advancement that warrants,
even demands. boards OF trade, and
are the first to instill into the pub
lie mind that such boards are use
ful to a community, under favorable
conditions.
But to return to the idea. the State
board comes along urging the legis-
iature to look after West Virginia at
the jamestown exposition. thus
manifesting its spirit Of cooperation
with the many newspapers of the
State, which have been working on
this line ever since 1t was determin-
ed to have such exposition, and the
newspapers generally over the State
commend to the legislature what the
State Board of Trade has 10 say on
the subject in support Of the posi-
ton they themselves have taken all
along as follows:
The State board is deeply interest
ed in the success of the jamestown
Exposition and hopes that the legis-
lature will make a liberal appropria-
ton for fine representation on that
occasion. We can present the case
no better than by quoting the resolu-
tions passed at the Charleston meet
ing. which were as follows:
Whereas. The ter-centennial cele-
bration Of the settlement of James
town is OF great Importance not only
as matter OF history. but also from
an Industrial and commercial view
point. and
Whereas, West Virginia was a
part OF the original territory of yir-

After expressing appreciation Of the
cordial welcome extended to the asso-

delivered his annual address, which
was mastery in its legal construction
and perspicuous diction, and which
was followed with the closest atten-
ton. His survey of the recent enact

lative bodies Of the several states in
lerested his listeners extremely. His
keen raillery at some apparent incon-

statutes provoked frequent merriment
