Belfast's Great Shipyard

Two years later Mr.. Harland was join

sceased) and William James Pierre
(now Lord Pierre), pupils Of the firm.
We're also made partners in the con-
Germ. which was subsequently feated
as limited liability company.
The business of the firm from the
very outset continued to increase by
leaps and bounds. In the year 1884,
exactly is years after Mr.. Harland
acquired the controlling interest in
the concern, there were launched
from the Queens Island yard 42 yes
sells. aggregating 105,625 tons burden.
In the three years ending 1890 their
total was 81 vessels, of 1876 IT'S tons.

But perhaps one Of the longest of
several very tough tasks undertaken

THE IMMIGRATION COMMISSION

A reading of the debate over the
work of the immigration Commission
between Mr.. Macon of Arkansas, who
had made a bitter attack upon that
body and Mr. Bennett of New York, a
member of the commission, shows that
Mr.. Macon made a pretty poor show
ing. Charge after charge that he had
made was proved to be untrue and he
was obliged weakly to fall back upon
the plea that his information had been
incorrect. When such body Is at
tackled, when Senators and members
of Congress are charged with fraud
and incompetence, it is a pretty good
plan to have reliable information on
which TO base such charges.
Mr.. Macon had said:
"The members who went abroad were
Messrs. Dillingham;, Latimer, Burnett
Bennett of New York, Howell OF New
Jersey, and Wheeler, and they were
accompanied by their families and two
of the secretaries of the commission

imagination We have the running
streams and natural sites for dams
and reservoirs that are not found in
level country. If cheap power
could be furnished we could largely
increase our manufacturing indus
tries and we could open vastly
larger field on the farms and in the
homes, for the use of electricity. If
possibilities were realities Vermont
would be fabulously rich. Mean
while the mountain streams run their
course unvexed by the wheels of in
dustry, and our people buy coal at
high prices for power as well as for
heat. Some day we may awake to
the fact that our white coal" is
cheaper than the black fuel of Penn
sylvania.

The SiIkworm Business.

The raising Of silkworms for bust
ness purposes is confined to the warm
err climates. where such trade has a
probability of becoming remunerative.
The principal countries producing silk
worm gut used in the manufacture or
fishing tackle are Spain. Italy and ia
pan. The most important center of
production in Spain is in the province
Of Murcia. where the peasants collect
and sell gut to the merchants. under
whose care it undergoes lengthy
process of preparation before being de-
livered to the market. Barring their
common origin, this trade has no point
of contact whatever with the manu-
facture of silk, as worms that are des-
tined for one of these purposes be-
come entirely useless for the other.

BARRE Times.)

Inasmuch as the report of the Gov
ernor's special commission to adj
vance proposals of amendment to
the Vermont constitution is now be-
fore the public, it will undergo scru-
tiny between now and the assembl-
ing of the Legislature which will be
asked to adopt or reject the recon-
mendations. That portion of the re-
port which Immediately commands
attention, not only because of its
primal position in the report, but be-
cause of its relative prominence in
the list of matters considered, is the
proposal to remove the restriction
which commands that the constitu-
ton shall not be altered, except at a
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-02-03

prohibit constitutional changes, eX-
cept that at the session of 1880 and
every tenth year thereafter the
Senate may, by a vote of two-thirds
of it's members may make proposals
of amendment, etc" This anomal
Gus provision seemed to indicate
doubt that the people could be trust
ed, that wisdom was lodged only IN
the generation that lived in 1870.
This anomalb bus condition has existed
therefor almost forty years. This
time lock practically annulled all
possibility of constitutional change;
and the mass of the people forgot
that they could once in a while
change their fundamental law. 1t
ought to please the people to be able
to make changes in their constitu-
ton at any time they desire.
The other proposed amendments
all of which we printed the other
day-are not so important as the
first, but they will prove beneficial
to the commonwealth. The change
which shall confer upon the Governor
the actual power of veto will, in
our opinion, be of real benefit in our
future legislation. The proposed
change of date for our State elections
of the meeting of the Legislature and
the dates of terms of Representa-
tives, Senators and officials will put
us on a footing of equality in these
matters with practically all the 9th
er States in the Union; and it will
be of substantial benefit to the State
The fifth proposal we consider
quite important. 1t is designed to
keep the Legislature from usurping
judicial function in the matter OF
death sentences. The treatment Of
such cases by the Legislature has
sometimes seemed to be scandalous.
The sixth proposal also is designed
to do away with a scandal that oc-
ours in nearly every Legislature,
namely, the election of men to offices
of profit from the legislative body.
The seventh proposal is designed 20
save great deal of the time of each
Legislature and therefore save the
States money. The time of the law
making body is largely taken up by
private bills of all kinds, mostly on
special laws creating private corpor-
atoms, etc.
The eighth proposal is not intended
either to add to or take from the
present constitution as now in force
but simply to put it in convenient
and disable form.
On the whole the commission has
placed the people of the State under
great obligation to its members
Their work we firmly believe will be
appreciated by the public. The pub
lie business under these changes, il
and when they come, will be con-
Quoted with more dignity, satisfac-
ton and success than in the past.

stated interval, which, in this case,
is a decennium from the year 1880.
In the popular expression of the day,
this command is called the time
lock" of the constitution, and very
aptly so, too
Such a restriction on the power to
alter the constitution of the State
was undoubtedly intended as check
to ill-considered proposals and to re-
tain as much as possible the sacred
ness of the instrument by which we
have our government. The intent,
if such it be, was certainly commend
able, but it is a question if, by thus
tying ourselves, we have not lost far
more than we had thought to gain
thereby. Long periods we have been
obliged to suffer with hands fettered,
when, under conditions which are said
to obtain in every other State of the
Union, as we'll as in the case of the
nation, we might have gained relief
within two years under reasonably
conservative method of procedure. L.
the constitution should be amended
at ALL it is reasonable enough to per-
nit the proposal of amendment to De
made biennially, or as often as the
Legislature, formally meets provided.
of course, the procedure is hedged
about with other fair restrictions In
solar as that is concerned, The Times
is in accord with the first proposal
presented by Governor Prouty's spec-
ial commission.
However, the proposal to lower the
bars to the extent of permitting
amendments to slip through the Leg
islature by a bare majority of votes
of both branches, The Times believes
to be too loose and not worthy of a
place in the constitution of a State
of the United States. Granted that
we should permit the presentation
of amendments at the regular ses-
sions of the Legislature, that is re-
moving the "time-lock" and is all
that public sentiment has demanded
By going several steps further and
making constitution-tinIer a SIM
pie matter of partisan consideration.
we are laying the constitution bare
and all but defenseless, to the shift
| ing Whims of too small a preference
The Times is of the opinion that, hav-
ing permitted frequent amendments.
Vermont should raise the require
ments of the immediate act by stipu-
| lating that not only should a two
sary for the proposal of amendments,
but that two-thirds vote of the
same body land the House as webb
should be required at the referring
of the proposal at the subsequent ses-
| sion of the Legislature. The trainers
of the Constitution of the United
States appreciated the dangers of
such a situation by requiring that a
two-thirds vote of both branches of
Congress, or the application of two
thirds of the Legislatures of the sew
eral States be secured before pro-
posals of amendment TO the Federal
Constitution could be made, and fol-
lowed it up with the stipulation that
the proposals must be ratified by
three fourths of the State Legisla-
lures or conventions before they can
become operative. The State of Yer
mont can take no better example
than that of the Federal Constitr-
ton.
Therefore, it seems that the wisest
policy will be to remove the time
lock" on the constitution, while at
the same time protecting the consti-
tuition from unnecessary assault.

We do not remember the occasion
when so good job of public work
has been done as the report of the
commission on the proposed changes
in the constitution of the State. The
report was prepared under the au-
thority of joint resolution passed
by the last Legislature. 1t will be

action. The commission is compos-
ed of Frank c. Partridge of Proctor,
Frank l.. Greene of St Adams, Allan

Leary of Burlington. The service this
commission has done for the State
is an excellent one; and we sincere

of the average report by special COM
missions to the Legislative body.

bennington Banner.)

DIN Merrill's decision not to be 4
candidate for the governorship before
the State convention in June because
of i'll health will disappoint a large
number of citizens who had hoped
that with the Enosburgh man in the
field larger interest in the campaign
would result. 1t is useless to deny
that at the present time the personal
element is the only factor Of any
prominence, no issues have been
brought forward for discussion, no
plans for the future good of the State
have been advanced in connection
with the aspiration of the men in the
field. There is nothing particularly
dangerous in the situation but it is
certainly discouraging. A campaign
that presents nothing but the desires
of candidates to fill the offices Is
something to be guarded against for
the reason that it is not progressive.
