CIVIC
REFORM OFTHE
CONSTITUTION
Suggestion to Alter State
Charter by Other Than
Political Convention.

To bring about an alteration of the
Constitution of New Jersey or the
creation of an entirely new document
by a constitutional conference COM
posed of civic workers, instead of ny a
constitutional convention of politicians,
is a task that the New Jersey Civil
Federation has assumed. The officials
OF this organization realize that the
work is of great magnitude, and will
move slowly so as to give each subject
the fullest consideration. All the mem
bers of the federation, all civic or
CARNATIONS, boards of trade, civic
clubs, women's clubs n individuals
interested in the question are invited
to answer the questions that the New
Jersey Civic Federation proposes.
The questions to which answers are
invited have been arranged as follows:
Il. Do you think that the constitution
OF the State of New Jersey is satisfactory
and adapted to the needs of the State at
the present day and under the conditions
now prevailing?
IF the answer to this question is Yes
no further data are called for, but II 1T be
NO. the following additional questions are
submitted:
20. II not. what specific feature or fea-
lures do you consider inefficient and unsat-
isfactory?
IS. In what way would you remedy these
features? Would you (al omit them en-
tlrely? (b) Alter them? In what way?
"a. What portions of the present docu-
ment could be .cut ont?
20. What additional paragraph or para
graphs should it contain?
These questions are on the document as
such. An additional series Is suggested by
the method OF procedure. At present a
constitutional convention is a political
function, which does not appeal to civic
workers. since the interests conserved and
alien to the real interests of the State. AS
at present conducted a constitutional con
%vention degenerates rapidly into an arena
for conflicting political interests and for
the exercise of bossism in one or the other
of its forms.
"It may be desirable to devise some other
method of getting at the Constitution and
of organizing a convention for that pur-
pose. It has been suggested that a CON
stitutional conference take the place of the
political function and that TO such a con-
ference such men and women should be
called as have the welfare of the State at
heart and have proven their interest in
that welfare in public ways.
'In view of this the following questions
have been formulated:
&c. Do you favor a constitutional con-
ference2
~. What have YOU to suggest as to the
program of such a conference?
"S. Whom can you suggest as worker
for and in such a conference?"
80. Where would you hold such a con-
ference?
'1G. And when?"

NAVAL OFFICER A SUICIDE
Second Lieutenant Sutton Shoots Himself
in Head at Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 14.-Second
Lieutenant James N. Sutton, of the

Lieutenants r.. q. Adams, of Harris
burg, Pa, and e. P. Rocker, son of
Chief Engineer Roolker. Of the navy,
were slightly injured while attempting
to disarm Sutton. One pistol was taken
from him, but Sutton Immediately drew
another and shot himself in the head.

CHINESE TAUGHT HERE, WIN
Carry of Majority of Prizes Awarded
at Pekin.

PEKIN. oct, 1A-The comforting OF lie
grees by the Board OF Education upon for
eign-educated Chinese has just taken place
and again the graduates of American col
leges have been awarded the honors in
seven of the highest Chinese degrees grant
ed. OF these four went to the University
of California graduates and one to a Le-
land Stanford. jr,. University man.
This was the third annual conferring of
degrees. Since the graduates Of American
colleges achieved such noted distinction in
1906, a high spirit of rivalry has existed
between them and the Japanese-schooled
Chinese. and this is supported by the patri-
otic feeling in japan, where the number Of
Chinese students is increasing annually.

and Destitute Women, and Lead
Them to Better Things.

One more charitable Institution was
yesterday added TO the many already in
this city, when the Refuge Home for
Women. at 70 Clay street, was formally
opened to the public. The home is con-
Quoted by the Rescue Mission, of which
George Simmons is superintendent. One
middle-aged woman, whose white hair and
wrinkled face told better than words of
her sufferings, was the first person adj
mitted to the institution. and this morn
ing she expressed her gratitude for the
shelter it accorded her.
The dedication of the home yesterday
was a double celebration, the third
spiritual anniversary of George Dickens,
the sexton of the Halsey Street M. E.
Church. being observed in conjunction with
the dedication. Mr.. Dickens was converted
at the Rescue Mission three years ago, and
since that time has been employed as
sexton of the church. At the services he
was presented with a purse of $40 by the
pastor of the church, the Rev. DR.. Colts,
while MI. Dickens's family presented him
with a gold ring.
Many workers connected with various
churches throughout the city were present,
and much religious fervor was manifested.
AT the conclusion of the services, at which
the Rev. DR.. Coult spoke and the Rev.
Mr.. Galloway, pastor of the Colored Pres
byterian Church, sang, the new home was
thrown open for inspection, and more than
two hundred persons went through the
building.
At the services last night the Rev.
Robert McCIaren. Of O~gdensburg, n. Y;
William Hall. OF Long Branch, and Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert Rounds, OF Pough-
keepsie. N. Y, spoke. Mr.. Simmons was
presented with a sum Of money as a
nucleus to defray the expenses of the
home. and a number pledged themselves
to contribute 81 a month toward paying the
rent OF the place.
Religious workers in the city are author
ity for the statement that the Refuge
Home fills u long-felt want-a place to
shelter friendless and homeless women.
Simmons said that women who.
through unfortunate and indiscrete deeds
have been confined in penal institutions
are welcomed there, and an effort is made
to procure employment for them.

commonplace horse, the fee for service
will probably be So, and the colt a week
old will be worth something on the mark
ct. II the same mare were bred to a
good horse, the fee for service would
probably be SIS more than in the other
case, but the colt week old will be
worth : 50 more, and at three years old
will sell for 100 more tho the expense
of raising them will be the same.
| think the greatest blessing that
could come to this country in the horse
business would be the adoption of the in
spection and license law established in
France by Napoleon The First The
country is laid out in breeders districts
corresponding in measure with our
congressional districts Congressman
pardon the reference) and government
inspection of stations bars out every
thing that does not come to the required
standard of excellence. Owners of horses
that are barred out, are not allowed to
breed even their mares to them, and Sc
lection is made from the others, and IL
censes issued to the number needed for
the district. All others are barred until
the next inspection. 1t would be hard
for us to conform to such law here, at
first, but the benefits would be worth
the trouble. However, each man con-
trolls his own stock, and if he choose he
can practice this careful selection OF
parent stock, and secure to himself the
benefits that are sure to follow.

Forty Years Experience.
BY CHARLIE LAFEvER.


Editor Republican: Replying 10
your invitation to give some of my
views on stockraising, and con-
fine my statements to points that |
have learned by experience and
am sure of, | feel honored to be
consulted in this matter by an edi-
tor who is always wide awake,
and hustling to get down to the
plain, practical truth of things
that concern the readers most. |
think it a privilege to be allowed
to say to al your readers, what |
have so often said to the men |
talk with; and if / advocate some
thing that benefits them after
ward, | shall feel more than com
pensated for my trouble when |
see them getting good results on
the plan | advise. | understand
this to be the kind of pay the edi-
tor gets for great deal of his
work, and when you invite me to
"help edit the paper" this week,
| am willing to take the kind OF
pay for one week that the regular
editor is guaranteed ffty-two
weeks in year.
In order to have your readers
know that am not new to this
locality and its conditions, | may
be permitted to explain that | have
been a resident of Idaho nearly
all the time for forty-two years,
and a resident of Lost River val
ley for twenty-five years. Pride
in my own community prompts
me to say that | looked over the
Snake river valley with all its OPP
portunities lying open, and passed
it up because Lost River looked 50
much better. The only place |
know of that is better than Lost
River valley is Era Fiat, and some
of my friends and myself would
have had ranches on it if it had
not been for the expense OF get
ting the water out to it. We
could not handle such big pro-
iect, and did not have the advan--
tage Of modern engineering IN
this liDs to encourage us. !.
The things that. make this val
ley the stockman's paradise are
the fine summer range in the
hills, the good water, the absence
of poisonous plants, the natural
shelter for stock and the short
season in which it is necessary to
feed them.
Animals that Craze in our hills,
develop good muscle and are
hardy, and the abundant hay and
grain crops that grow in the valley
make it easy to winter a large
herd on every farm.
! want to say that | am firm
