A Big Sewer.

Rudolph Keller has returned

OF his son, John Keller, at lndi-
ana Harbor. ohn superintends
the drainage OF that city, and is
now experimenting the putting
in of a sewer one and three
fourths miles long, 20 feet wide,
eight feet in diameter and 80 feet
below the surface of the streets t
the city. The walls of the sewer
are brick. laid in cement, and the
cost of the Improvement will be
about 100000. The sewer IS sew
cral feet lower than the bed OF the
river. consequently immense
steam pumps will be kept at work
constantly pumping the sewerage
into the river. The cons truction
of this immense drain is under
the direction of a man who grew
from boyhood to manhood in Ply
mouth. Rudolph has a right to
feel little proud of his son, John

the elder one was stricken and
died almost in the midst OF con-
gratulatory greetings with
friends on his earlier years.

BOOM PLYMOUTH.

What Plymouth needs most is
more factories to employ labor
and make use of our splendid nat
ural and shipping facilities. To
secure such industries requires
the energy and perseverance OF
trained business men, who are ia
miliar with the needs of manu-
facturers. Such men would see
that our water, light and power
systems were put on a business
basis. and that rates and service
OF these public utilities would be
such as to attract manufacturing
industries, rather than repel and
disgust them.
The city is fortunate in having
the opportunity OF sending two
such men to the council in Messrs
Swindell and Ch5be, and their
election will mean much to the
commercial future of Plymouth.
Both are at the head OF industries
which have helped the growth OF
our city, and which have paid out
hundreds of thousands of dollars
here to labor and local concerns.
Both will always be found SUP
porting any reasonable project OF
public improvement, and with
such men administering our city
affairs, city park and public Ii
brary would not always be a
dream OF the future.
Every independent voter should
support these men loyalty, that
we may have a bigger, brighter
and buster Plymouth.

FATALITY OF
TRESPASSINC
MANY DEATHS ARE CAUS-
ED BY VIOLATION OF
LAW.
In Ten Years the Number Killed
on Railroad Property Ex-
ceeds AZ, 900.

Washington, Oct, 13.-Tres-
passing on railroad property, in
violation of THE law, has been re-
sponSble for the deaths OF Al ,416
persons in the United States in
the past ten years. In the same
period more than $4,000 trespass-
ers were injured. 1t is in yiew OF
these facts that many of the inn
portant railroads have determin-
ed to redouble their efforts to Sc
cure in this country that rigid en-
forcement of the law against tres
passing, which in England has re-
duced the practice, and accidents
to trespassers to a minimum.
The number of people killed
while trespassing on railroads
has been increasing every year
In 1898 1908 trespassers lost
their lives on American railroads,
five years later the number was
5000 and in 1907 the number
killed was 5.612-more than Is
a day. These figures are taken
from the annual reports of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Figures complied by the Penn
sylvania railroad alone show that
465 trespassers lost their lives on
that systems lines in 1899; 7S1
were killed in 1904, while in 1907
the number reached 915-an av-
erage OF almost three for every
business day in the year. In the
ten years prior to January /, 1909
exactly i,21O people, who were
ON the Pennsvlvania's right-of-
way in willful violation OF law,
and in spite of thousands OF
warning signs along the railroad,
were killed. In addition. during
the first six months of this year
PSI treSDaSSerS were killed.

REVISION OF
CONSTITUTION
CONGRESS UP TO A DELI.
CATE QUESTION AT
NEXT SESSION.
Vote of Only One More State is
Needed-Long Fight is
Promised.

Washington, Oct. 13.-One of
the biggest pieces OF business
that any congress has ever had to
determine will require the atten-
ton of that body at the opening
session.
For congress will be called up
on 10 decide whether a conven-
tion OF the states shall be permit
ted as directed by the constitu-
ton, looking to the revision OF
that venerable instrument. When
two-thirds of the states petition
congress for such a convention
congress is commanded by the
constitution to call it, and to
m; Ike laws for its organization,
selection and compensation.
Thlrty-one states constitute
two-thirds OF the union. and Just
thirty are now on record as hav-
ing passed. through their legisla-
ture, the necessary resolutions
asking for such a convention.
One More State Needed.
Whenever one more state shall
have added its resolution the mat
ter will be, in a mandatory fash
ior, before congress. There is
considered almost no doubt that
mere than one additional state
will join the column this winter,
because the income tax amend
mint to the constitution is at
TT; citing general attention TO the
matter of constitutional amend
ment. and while ratification of the
income tax amendment does not
involve adoption OF the demand
for a convention of states, yet it
does bring the general subject %

Delicate Questions.

Congress will have a long line
OF delicate questions to answer
when it confronts the petitions OF
thirty-one states for a convention
There has never been a conven-
ton of the states. Many of the
states which have passed these
resolutions asking convention,
have asked it for the purpose of
amendment to effect popular cleo
tion of senators. Others have
placed no limitation upon it.
The first question is whether
this convention, once in existence
and organized, can be restricted
to the least range of enterprise
that any state may have defined.
If twenty states ask for conven-
tion to consider senatorial cleo
tons. and eleven asked a conven-
ton to consider income taxation.
would cogress still be required
TO take the necessary steps and
provide the preliminary legisla-
tion? And if so, could the con-
vention take up all the questions
specified in the states resolutions
and as many others as it chooses !?
Opposition by Strong Element
These questions have never
been answered. in experience. The
strong element in congress which
would oppose to the bitter end
any effort to secure convention
would undoubtedly urge that
there must be absolute uniform
ity in the demands and that the
convention be restricted absolute
" to specified subjects. In this
view Z would be almost impos-
Sible ever TO get a convention
save for the general purpose of
revision, and in that case the
mandate would be as broad as
the whole constitution.
Bryan's Plans.
Mr. Bryan, who has long been
interested in the effort to secure
an amendment for popular cleo
tons of senator's, is said to be
planning to make this constitu-
tional amendment speciality if
he he, mes a member OF the SEN
ate from Nebraska. If he should
be elected next year. he would be
in time to have a part in the big
contest over the matter, for no
body elieves that the coming
session, with the conservatives
completely in control OF both
houses, will make affirmative re-
Spouse to any demand for a con-
vention. Rather it is expected
that technical reasons would be
raised which would keep he
necessary legislation in commit
tee. and it would require the pro-
motion OF great popular move
ment, perhaps arising to the dig
nifty of national issue of the first
class, to force the matter out of
congress.
The imminence of a national
convention is one reason for con-
Germ to opponents OF the income
tax. it is now well known that
there is going to be determined
and organized fight against ra :
fication of the income tax. The
recently adopted platform of the
Massachusetts Republicans. re-
puted to have been written by
Senator Lodge, taken as tne
keynote. 1t PORTS out that in
COME taxation has been ONE OF
the resources of the states. and
it demands to know: Shall the
state surrender this resource. or
shall it provide for double taxa
ton, state and federal, on in
comes
