learn at this time, Gov. Burke is more
than likely to appoint a Democrat,
Cashel, to succeed the late NJ. N.

Democratic State Committee, and
was a candidate for the Senate at the
last election.

AMENDING THE FEDERAL CON
STITUTION.

If is not easy to amend the federal
constitution Conservative forces III
tha convention of IS set up obstacles
to be overcome only by popular
movement that amounts To a peacefui
revolution
The constitution has been extensive
w amended only twice. After the
democratic revolution of Jefferson
election in 1900 the bill of rights and
other nopular clauses were incorporat-
ed. After the civil war the slavery ana
negro citizenship amendments were
added nv the superior force of the
north. Popular demand for amend
ment of the constitution in the belle1
that it protects evil forces in our ma
tional life not foreseen by the fathers
cannot be resisted indefinitely with
safety.
1t is even more dangerous to cheat
this popular demand with apparent
unanimous concession in congress,
only to prevent ratification by less
open influence upon one-fourth of the
legislatures For many years both
houses of congress have passed woman
suffrage resolutions in nearly every
session. or different resolutions in the
same session without any real pro-
ntrxy n
be played with so.
Frankly we have little hope Of the
proposed with such ostentation by con-
gress. Besides that does not exhaust
the popular demand for amendment Of
the constitution. There is even more
strength in the proposal to elect SEN
ators by popular vote. The senate
will never permit that so long as it
can prevent it, State legislatures do
not want it. but near three-fourths of
them have already been forced by
public opinion to memorable congress
in favor of it.
When full three fourths of the
states do this, congress must call
convention, which may
probably consider any amendment pro-
posed. Here is surer and better way
to get an income tax amendment. Here
is the only way to get election of SEN
ators by popular vote. The move
ment has made such Roadway that
enough more states could join to make
it complete in single winter.

GEORGIA PEACH GROWERS GIT"
Realize Big Profit From New Mar
ket Methods.

ATLANTA, Ga, July Blower half
a million dollars profit, directly due
to improved methods of marketing We're
made off the Georgia peach crop this
year, according to figures published
tonight. This year, for the first time,
Georgia growers organized into a mu-
tual benefit exchange, moledel on the
lines of California fruit shippers as
sociations.
The result was that a crop of near
ly 1000 carloads of peaches this year
brought about $1,OOO,O0O, or about the
same price which a crop of 5000 car,
loads brought last year. The price this
year went as high as 81 a crate.
The Importance Of these figures for
the south lies in the fact that not only
the peach growers, but the raisers of
other great southern fruit crops, par
ticularly oranges, are organizing sim
liar associations In each case south
ern associations have followed the
California idea of keeping the crop
rolling" in freight cars and selling
it as it moves by means of reliable
agents of the association in the north.

400 feet in four miles to take in Water
vile, and descending a similar grade,
the Great Northern has decided to go
no nearer that poirt than Douglas. The
citizens of Waterville are now making

electric road to connect with the Great
Northern at Douglas, four miles dis
tant. They have asked the latter road
to run the line after it is built but no
answer has as yet been given.

1t is the policy of the Evening

ing anything that its rival may do,
believing generally in the adage that

perpetrated on a public, which while
not entirely unsuspecting, might still
be deceived. calls for an open exposure.

DODGING THE REAL TARIFF
ISSUE,

Official tariff debate never even APP
preached the fundamental question of
relieving the ultimate consumer of tri
butte paid to privileged classes of man
ufacturers. This has been touched
upon in debate on the flood by repub-
Iicans like Nelson and democrats like
Gore. But it never enters into con-
sideration of committees or conferences
with the president.
Whenever these talk about tariff re-
vision downward, what is meant is cut
ting off some fictitious protective duty
laid to reconcile the farmer to high
prices for the necessaries of life or
some reduction for the benefit of man
ufacturers upon articles consumed by
them in their industry. The former
kind of reduction benefits nobody, the
latter does not benefit the ultimate con-
sumner because the manufacturers add
all the saving to their own profit. In
the face of all the clamor made about
free hides, shoe dealers will tell you
that shoes will be no cheaper with free
hides, though they will be dearer If
hides remain protected.
