Constitutional Convention,

Much talk, emenating IN our
opinion largely from those who have
a political AK to grind, is being in
dulged in in legislative circles about
a constitutional convention in order
that South Mississippi may come
into possession of her full rights in
administrative affairs Of the State ;
government. South Mississippi
should have what she Is Justly en-
titled to. She should be put on an
equal footing with the balance of
the State, all of which, we feel
quite sure, can tie done without a
constitutional convention. 1t would
be pity indeed that the future
progress and development of the
State should be handicapped 10y an
imaginary north Mississippi and
south Mississippi. - This would
in th4 end, serve nobody but the
politicians. Let the matter be
handled in a spirit of fairness to all
sections of the State and that
measure viii be evolved which will
be just and fair to the entire citizen
ship of the state.
The above from the Grenada Sen
tinel expresses the true spirit il
which the Legislature, doubtless,
will proceed in adjusting the differ
ences between the two sections OF
the State, No constitutional con
vention is necessary, and it would
be hazardous to tamper with tht
present constitution which has solv-
ed a most complex condition and,
under which Mississippi has enjoy
ed splendid political and industrial
development since 1890.
Partisians in South Mississippi
are eager for the convention, be
lieving that a new constitution would
give greater representative strength
to that section and other advant-
ages. OF course. every good cititi-
zen is willing for South Mississippi
to share all political benefits alike
with other sections of equal import
ance, but would be averse to in,
iuring the State as a whole in order
to give some particular section what
it clamors for.
It would be wise to let the con.
stitution of 1890, the bulwark o
white supremacy in Mississippi
alone. If it needs amending, it car
he done without a convention. Th,
amendments can be submitted to tn,
people severally or collectively. an,

The Spirit of Liberty. d.

The assassination OF King Carlos
and his son, the Crown Prince Of
Portugal. on the streets Of Lisbon
Saturday, by an armed band Of
revoIutionists. is but the re-enact-
ment Of a tragedy that has charac-
terized nearly every country
whose rulers have exercised dr4potic
authority. The germ Of liberty,
planted in the hearts Of the Ameri-
can people in 1916. has found its
way into the hearts Of the people
Of all nations It has multiplied, ,
civilized and revolutiJnized until
finally it will fashion nll govern
ments after the republican form.
All absolute governments become
unstable when once the idea Of con
qtitutional liberty takes hold Of their
subjects. The truth that all men
are created equal and are endowed
with certain uualienable rights IS
held too selfevident by mankind to
tolerate the yoke Of oppression and
tyranny longer than the force Of
power and want of intelligence
compels them. Consciousness Of the
great truth that all political power
rests in. and can be exercised only
by the consent OF submission Of
the people, Will reconstruct all des-
potic governments along lines Of
greater civic freedom. England,
France and other countries have
been forced to concede constitutional
liberties and it is not surprising
that the little Kingdom of Portugal
should be in the throes of revolt to
secure like blessings. The procedure
there is similar to what it has been
elsewhere. The first blow is struck
at the Royal family, the King and
his successors to the crown. These
destroyed, the work of revolution
can proceed with less hindrance and
carnage. No revolution that has
ever transformed a government
from one to another distinct type
has ever been consummated with
out great struggle. and if the Re
publicans Of Portugal.wag the issue
to that point the soil of that un-
fortunate country will be dyed with
blood.
Carlos was assassinated not be-
cause he was a king, but because he
was the barrier between the people
and the rights they coveted His
personality further than the des-
potic administration he represented
was not reckoned by his assailants.
Any other standing where he did
would have Jared similarly. 1t was
/ a blow. dealt to destroy oppressive
measures of his government and is
not unprecedented in the history Of
other countries. All the world re-
grets the cruel slaughter as well as
the existence of the cause that

The members Of the colored Bap-
tist church show considerable enter
prise and have adopted a sensible
plan TO pay off the debt on their
new church building, which is one
of the incest. not excepting the
white churches in the city. They
rented ten acres of land on the
island which the mem bers worked
in cotton. A number Of them went
out Wednesday and picked bale
the fourth one already out and they
estimated that there are two more
in the field. The two bales already
sold brought 5000 a piece. They
will clear something over $1,000
on the venture and none Of them
will be out more than three days
work during the year. This will
leave only $4,000 due on their
church.-Friarspoint Enterprise.

Senator Foraker scored President
Roosevelt in his speech delivered at
the banquet of the Ohio Society at
New York City, Saturday. While
he admitted that oyertrading, over
expansion of credit and overcapital-
ization of new organizations contri-
buted to the late financial troubles,
he charged the major mischief to
the Presidents extreme muck rak-
ing. The climax of Mr.. Foraker 5
address is contained in the follow
ing paragraph: would be most
fortunate if paddock could be pro
vided for the muck rakers-all OF
them, high and low. big ana little,
well intentioned and evil intention-
ed, for it is high time to quit SLAM
dering the American people
Though Senator Foraker is not mis-
taken in tracing the recent panic to
the exposure Of sundry corporation
methods of transacting business,
which led them to retaliate, it must
be admitted that the disclosures
will have a wholesome effect, and
place all business Of the country on
more stable footing in the end.
