To Revise the Constitutions.

To Rcvlse the Constitutions.
It seems that thirty states, one after
another, have formally adopted reso-
buttons favoring a change in the fed
eral constitution. The moving cause
in most cases was the demand for
direct voting for United States sena-
tors. The Initiative was taken by the
legislature Of Idaho in 1805.
A vote Of two.thirds of the legtsla-
lures is required t. empower congress
to assemble q constitutional conven.
ton. There are forty-six states. and
the requisite two-thirds will have act
ed officially when the Alabama reso-
lutions reach congress In December.
No legislature has as yet revoked its
previous affirmative. resolution. says
the Washington Post. The constltu.
tion places no time limit upon the nc
tion Of a legislature, yet the validity
Of an action taken fourteen years ago
may be questioned. Whether the work
Of the convention when assembled
shall be confined to the single prop
osition behind the call y also g Sub:
ject for debate. The language Of the
constitution IL liberal upon THU. point:
II ID that congress- .'staM call y con;
yention for proposing amendments"

vanderbilt's Big Forest.

Vanderbilt's Big Forest.
According toA recent bulletin of the
government forestry service, the $780,.
600 acres of forests on George Van.
derbilt's estate at Biltmore are '.made
profitable" The profit comes from the
material cut every year. This, the
bulletin states. consists: of 100000
feet OF lumber. 5000 cords Of fannie
acid wood aud fuel. 1000 cords Of tan.
bark and several hundred cords Of
wood pulp. yanderbilt's experiment
10 private forestry is remarkable both
on account of its extent and the va
riety and scope Of the work done.
In connection with all. LOGGING op.
erations permanent logging roads IRE
constructed. These. roads minimize the
present cost Of getting out the produc,
and will greatly reduce the cost Of
marketing crops in the future. The
roads also make good fire lanes and
afford protection for the young trees
which are planted wherever there Is
suitable protection against fire. Work.
men employed in the forest and 10 the
fields along the forest boundaries do
duty as fire guards. The experimental
work in siIviculture done at Biltmore
is certain to stimulate interest in sci
enti6c forestry US applied to private
domains.

No stWild and woolly West'' Now.
Carefully prepared statistics ap-
pearing In the current Popular Science
Monthly show that the touch Of CIV
ilization nas brought 1.-THE vest down
from that bad eminence in criminal
deeds and disorders which it occupied
in the early years Of development.
The figures used In the article are Off
ciaI, being taken from the criminal
census Of the United States. In 1900
81 per cent of the total convictions for
grand larceny were in the western
states, but the same territory now an
swers for only 1863 per cent. = Ten
years ago the west scored the highest
percentage in robberies. 1875 per cent.
whereas now this class Of ofenses fig
ures at but 1.2 per cent in the same ter
ritory. - ''"A"
Other ofrenses included Id the show.
ing are assault, burglary, forgery.
homicide. and the minor ofense OF
drunkenness. The reduction is not
general, for certain sections now have
double the number Of convictions
charged against the west. Population
has, Of course. increased during the
decade. Some Of the increase has
been by. the least orderly elements;
hence it would be unfair to say that
the newcomers had been the mission

itself, being too prosperous and too
busy to yield to the follies which lead
to disorder and crime.

Among the echoes of the Hudson,
Fulton doings are criticisms both from
home and outside sources upon the
trivial and inappropriate music played
by, the bands in the marching columns.
The New York Evening Post thinks
Sousa's washington Post" and Lib

ers in popular favor, especially the
short lived. music hall and street or
gan favorites. German and English
