We learn from the Greensboro Record that Ashe-
vile, N G., has compulsory education and boss
that all obey the law, Recently a citizen of Ashe-
vile dared to take his daughter from school and send
her off on visit to friends in another town. The
Boss would not have it and hailed the father of the
girl into court a charge of having violated the
law.

The present General Assembly pass
ed to its final account Saturday, and
unless occasion shall arise for an
extra session. will he known no more
by the people of Virginia.
1t is but just TO say that 1t has
been an industrious and conscientious
working body. and that It has. ac
complished a great deal In the too
brief time II had for working.
OF course, II has not pleased ev-
erybody. for that you'd be an i'm
possibility. but we think that II de-
serves and will receive q great deal
more commentator than criticism.
Altogether the Legislature, which
closed It's activities Saturday. will
compare favorably with the average
of its predecessors.
Due TO the short space OF time and
a great deal of work to be done a
number of measures OF merit were
not enacted into laws and were
crowded out on account Of lack of
time.
This session has emphasized the
Importance of extending sessions to
ninety days, and this amendment to
the Constitution will be voted on
next fall, and 1t Is hoped that Ii
will be carried by large majority

1t is learned from the Southwest Times that the
Supervisors of Pulaski County have taken action
in the matter of bond issue for good roads in the
Pulaski district. The bonds will be sold in two
series, the short term issues to bear S per cent
interest and the long term, per cent One bond
will be retired each year and the interest payments
will be arranged as to distribute them uniformly
throughout the period that the bonds run. 1t is
probable that an additional levy of 10 cents on the
500 of assessed value will be laid in July to provide
for the interest and sinking fund This is another

Exactly as we expected about Sena-
tor Noel and the Catawba Institute.
The senator allowed himself to be
fooled and LED into tangle and a
mass. lie spent hours presenting
charges and accusations which fell
fiat and were disproved as fast as he
could utter them. He got himself
tied and roped and tripped and fell
all over himself. Then he made an
absurd position dignified by doing
the straight right and manly way.
He admitted frankly that he had
been deceived and withdrew his crit
icisms. A weak or cowardly or ma
licious man could not have done it.
We think Senator Noel went to
Richmond with the idea with which
the average Republican IL saturated,
that something Is wrong some
where" with the State government.
We American people are queer In
that respect We elect a government
with a whoop and a hurrah. and
then Immediately begin to seek oc-
casion to find fault ~ith II and to ac-
cuse 1t of corruption, inefficiency or
extravaganza. 1t Is and long has been
a part OF the Republican creed In
Virginia that II the secrets at Rich
mond could be known an awful mass
of concealed corruption would be re-

Democrats are IN a conspiracy TO hide

Is the Constitution Archaic

In the discussion relative to the
conetitutionality of the proposed pos
| tai banks bill Senator Sutherland. who
| IS from Utah, said:
"A constitution Incapable of adap-
ton to the constant growth and con-
slant change of Il progressive and
constantly changing people would be
anee. serving only to hamper, and not
to promote, the development Of free
people. "
The Ohio State Journal thinks this
TO be a very trite statement and APP
proves it heartily. II also thinks that
the language of the constitution is
10 be construed by the exigencies of
the time" which is another way of
saying 1t is TO be construed by public
opinion.
All this doubtless seems very
good reason to some people why the
constitution should be interpreted to
give the United States all sorts of
rights which 1t expressly does not
give, but as matter of fact ii is SIM
ply an argument In favor of doing
away with the constitution altogether.
That Is the salient point and the only
point involved.
If the constitution Is to be con-
strued according to the exigencies of
the times, 1T simply means that the
Supreme Court OF the United States
Is given the privilege of writing a
new constitution. IL the people are
willing to endure that. well and good,
but it seems to us that either the con-
stltution should be construed accord
ing to its plain meaning or 1t should
be annulled. II It is out of date,
then let us get new one. However,
we do not see just how that win be
possible, for the moment that the
constitution is annulled, at that mo-
ment each OF the States resumes its
original sovereignty and the position
taken by the Confederate States is
acknowledged to be correct. Perhaps
that is why the republicans are so
anxious to force the continuance Of
Il nation while denouncing the instru
ment which created that nation
