MOST AMENDMENTS SINCE 1874.

There will be wide interest in n State in he especial election in September
on the propositions for amending the Constitution The amendments tt be sub
mited to the people are by far more important han any that ave been voted
on since the Constitution vas adopted in 1874 They contemplate changes in
thee organic lay that are distinctly reacdonary. A constitution shou be pro-
gesstve in its changes 1t should bring governmen nearer he people. ant not
remove government farther away ron the people, as these amendment propo-
shhons really mean II a popular convention should BIZ held Ito adopt amend
mehts for the approval of the people. NJ such instrument as that which is now
proposed would be the outcome. Great respect is due to the legal profession,
which is so much in evidence in State government, but a lawyer written con-
sttution is not always the best law. A special commission to draft amendments
is a contracted means of efecung reforms in h organic law. Unfortunately.
n 10 better means seems practicable under tn restrictions placed in the Con-
sttuton of 1874 But one right, al least belongs to the people IN constitution
making, the right to reject In the lasta analysis theirs is h Judgment to pre-
vail And it viii hardly be possible for the popular judgment to engraft in the
Constitution n reacuonary clauses an provision to remove HI power of
government farther away from he people or tn pausibly urged amendment to

PUBLIC BArns Fog THE HILL SECTION.

A communication in omr local columns today makes a strong nd eloquent
plea for a appropriation by he Common Council of $4,000 for public shower
baths in Clayton street on a site ALREADY acquired. The district to be provided
for much congested in population, and the proposed baths represent a great
need for a population of upwards of thirty thousand AS to h public policy
of providing adequate and clean1y public bathing facilities, there is on5 me
argument Thousands OF our population hav no proper bathing eonveniences
in their homes, and If they had there would still be the need Tor the public BATH.
The @Enfs section Of the city would be peculiarly benefited If the city could
make the provision asked for, suoh action would rive qualification to every
citizen who looks to h health and morals and general welfare of h Newark
community. The Common Council nance committee is however, confronted by
a financial problem this year tha makes doubtful its ability to phce in the
budget n considerable Mount in excess of the absolute n imperative neces-
stiles Of HI city government The committee n the Council are Responsible
to the taxpayers and must work ut thu problem as best they can. If the cHys
financial situation was otherwise the STAR would mistakenly demand that the
voice of the "IIfn' section be favorably heard and that an adequate appro-I
prauon be made.

TO MAKE CHURCH
INSTITUTIONAL
REV. r. T. GALPiN. OF FIRST 6AP-
list, SUGGESTS NEW SCHEMES
TO CONGREGATION.

In the annual meeting OF the FIRST
Baptist church, Thursday evening the
Rev. Frederic Tower Galpin, the pas
tor. recommended that architects De
instructed to prepare plans for sun
day school building 10 be built Tor the
church 10 accommodate 1000 pupils.
and proceed 10 secure the money Tor
that purpose. The church, located In
the down town district. faces the PROB
lens OF other congr, cations similarly
located. and since the advent OF MT.
Galpin everything has been working
towards the institutional church. "A
guild has been established IN the
house next TO the church, where %
Young men make their home. They
have furnished the house. nave their
own servantss in fact, have practical
home life and IL is self-supporting. II
is now proposed by Mr.. Galpin that
Young women members OF the church
have a similar institution, with CHAP
eron. There are enough girls VINO
are members of the First church 10
establish the guild, and they prefer a
cooperative home 20 boarding. rms
was another suggestion Of Mr.. Cal
pin and the matter was referred TO
committee. while the building OF the
Sunday school was left 10 the trus-
tees. Another suggestion of Mr.. Cal
pins was 10 the effect that We have
cabinet, consisting OF representatives
from the various departments OF the
church work, so that he viii be IL
close touch with all of the work OF
his congre CATION.
Sunday morning, Mr. Galpin Will
preach on The Christian church In
question" and in the evening on our
crusade: the Saracen." The evening
service will be under the auspices OF
the mems club OF the church, and
music will be furnished by the chorus
chair of 100 voices
