TIME is RIPE FOR
A NEW CONSTITUTION.
Tallahassee News.
: ~~~N~~AAA~~~~~ I

Come now and let us reason to-
gether" over this question of a con-
StitUtiOnal convention. When the last
one met, it was soon evident that
there were two strong factions in it,
nearly equally divided, and that the
few Republican members of it held
the balance of power Nearly every
important mattergYas decided by these
few people, The result was, that
while it was as good as could have
been made at that time, and under
the circumstances, it was an instru-
ment of compromises. This fact will
not be disputed. Since the adoption
of the constitution of 1885, there nave
been a few changes, but IatteTly the
people have decided that it has been
patched up about as much as it will
stand, and therefore a demand for a
convention
Take the subject of new counties.
If TeapportiOnment is made, the legiS-
lature must get back to 100. and
some counties would have to be group
ed for one representative. A consti-
tutional convention could not only nix
new representation, but the number OF
increase could be provided for, apd It
could also create new counties AMI
submit the question 10 the people, thus
taking away a much discussed and
yexed question from the legislature.
For six years the legislature has
been submitting to the people various
and sundry amendments relating to
the judiciary system of the state.
But the people have turned these down
regularly, because they have recog-
nized in them a makeshift-a "tiding
over" so TO speak, until something
better could be arranged.
Some six years ago an amendment
was proposed and submitted to the
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1909-04-28
The Present Legislature Not
A Constitutional Body.

The constitution of 1885 required
the legislature to reapportion its rep
resentation every ten years. This the
legislature has steadily neglected to
do.
In its coordinate capacity the legis-
lature is a continuous body, although
the individuals composing 1t may
change at various sessions.
The constitution also limits repre-
sentation in the senate and house COM
bined to 100, but permits any new
county created to increase this num-
Der by one. This increase, however,
may continue only until the next re-
apportionment.
The legislature is now an unconsti-
tUtional body. 1t has 101 members
and in 1907 refused to obey the pro
vision requiring reapportionn1ent. Now
how can a governor who has sworn to
uphold the constitution approve of its
further infraction by signing a bill
creating another county?
Should the legislature first appor-
ton representation and afterwards
create new county, the governor
would be justified in approving the
measure. The Journal cannot see how
he may righteOusly do SO so long as
the body creating the new county is
acting in deliberate defiance of the
states organic law.
OF course it is a. self-evfdent pro-
position that there can be no just re-
apportionment of the 6S members al
lowed in the house. Many of the
counties must continue to suffer a
grossly inadequate representation,
while others will be represented in
measure far beyond what is war
ranted by their population.
A little Improvement, however, may
be made. At any rate, the constitu-
ton says it must be done-there is no
getting around that, so the sooner the
better

.Prophesies Calamities.

Satan finds some mischief still for

SkibO would retire to his castle in
Scotland and spend his days and con-
sumo his energy in taking part in
curling matches on the frozen lakes
of that land or in playing golf the
world would be a gamer.
With more money and time than he

He recently broke out-reguIarly
erupted-at a meeting of the Peace
Society in New York with a dire
prophecy that most terrific wars
threatened the earth. France, Japan,
Russia, England, Germany, Austria
are all getting ready for a tremendous
strife-a regular battle of AFmageddin.
And the laird's only hope is that our
own dear America may be able TO
poke its peaceful nose into the affairs
of all these beIligerent nations and
induce them to simmer down.
Considering that the founders of our
government regarded, .and with pro-
found wisdom and forethought, that
our greatest safety and hope of per-
manence rested in non-interference
with these old world scrappers. Car

about the laws governing the fate of
