Kwai, the wife of Yung Kwai, the secretary of the
legation. She is native of Springfield, Mass, and
her husband has spent practically all the time since
his marriage at the Chinese legation at Washington,

To many persons the greatest degree Of

Constitutional Convention Carries.

Constitutional Convention Carries.
A constitutional convention is now
sure. When the delegates to the
convention are to be elected and in
consequence when the convention will
meet to frame new constitution is a
matter of sharp dispute. The an
nouncement was made at the secre-
tary of states Office that the proposi-
ton to hold the convention, submitted
at the general election, had carried
overwhelmingly.
Plans to elect the delegates at the
municipal elections next November
have been adopted as result of opin-
ions from attorneys that they can not
be elected until the general state cleo
tions in November, 1919. Ehould these
opinions be correct the convention del
egates will not assemble until January,
| 1913, and the constitution they frame
will not be submitted to electors for
ratification until the municipal cleo
tions of 1913. Should this postpone
ment result, there will be a big fight
over the liquor question, and also over
the question of taxation. 1t had been
planned for these subjects, particu
| larly the temperance issue, to go over
for settlement by delegates to the con
stitutional convention. Then the elec
tors, instead of legislators, would per
manently decide the question. They
would be called upon to ratify pro
posed section for statewide prohibi
ton if the temperance element should
| control the convention, or a state
liquor license if the liberal element is
in the majority. Interests which viii
be affected, particularly the Anti
! Saloon League and Personal Liberty
League, have been working on the
theory that the fight for delegates tt
the constitutional convention would
begin shortly after the opening of the
next legislative session. They be
lieved the convention would convene
in January, 1912. The general as
sembly will issue call for the elec
ton of convention delegates, will SCI
the date for it and will provide the
necessary machinery for holding it
The convention must assemble, organ
ize and proceed to transact business
within 80 days after the election o
delegates.

Will Introduce Municipal Option Bill.


Senator Thomas o. Dean Dem.)
of Sandusky county, who was re-
elected despite the opposition of a
powerful organization of Anti-Saloon
League workers, said he would rein
troduce, at the next session of the
general assembly, his bill providing
for the amendment of the county op-
ton bill so as to permit cities to de-
eide Independently of townships out
side them.
This is fair measure, and l think
I will have the votes to have it passed
in both houses. 1t will be introduced
early in the session and put on the
calendar as quickly as possible. The
county option law has proved unsuc.
cessful and has multiplied law viola
tors. Men in the cities, whose de-
sires on the liquor subject are over
ridden by country electors, do not ac-
cept adverse verdicts rendered at the
polls. Regulation by the state is
needed toesettle the question, and it
will remain an unsettled issue until
the constitution is amended so as to
permit license law patented after
the modern one enforced in Pennsyl-
vania."

Praises Penitentiary TRUSTEES.

"Ninety-fve per cent of the men
who are chosen as TRUSTEES make
good" said Warden Jones of the
/ Ohio penitentiary, "and l doubt if you
will find higher percentage of sue
cess among the men on the outside,
who have every advantage in their
favor There is one trusty in the pen
itentiary who for 10 years has driven
| teams to all parts of Columbus, has
made trips of 20 and 25 miles into
the country, has had every opportun-
ity to escape from the life sentence
which he is serving, and during those
10 years has never been reported for
violation of the prison rules"
Twenty-Five of the 100 TRUSTEES in
the big prison and at the prison farm
are life convicts, two of them the war
den's runners and five others work in
the outside restaurant and at the
prison stables across the street,
where there is practically no super
vision by the guards. There are
three TRUSTEES whose sole duty is to
care for and drive the car
riages used by the prison Off
Gals. Three others drive teams
to all parts of Columbus. None
of these six is under guard, all of
them being able to escape at prac-
tically any time they desire. Yet none
of them attempts it.
Likewise the men who open and
close the big gates of the prison yard
through which hundreds of teams are
passing each week, now that a large
amount of construction is beng made
in the yard, the men who hold as re-
sponsible positions as the officials on
the gates in the guard room through
which visitors are constantly passing,
are TRUSTEES, and two of them are life
prisoners. There are 25 TRUSTEES on
the prison farm at Morgans Station,
under charge of two guards, who
supervise the work. Any one of these
men may be called on any day to
drive the So miles to and from the
prison without guard, and not one
of them has been deciplined for viola
tion of the prison rules.
In fact, to become trusty is the
aim of practically every one of the
1900 prisoners in the penitentiary. for
along with his selection for this place
come certain privileges which raise
him above the mass of conVicts and
more freedom which lightens some
what the burden of the sentence he
serves. 1t is the stepping-stone to the
securing of the pardon or commuta-
ton of sentence which he sometime
hopes to get.
