Convention Comment

Mulford Windsor. of Yuma County,
 reached the limit of radicalism on
 the initiative and referendum when he proposed that by this method the.
 people in each county might pass
 laws which would only be apphca-
 ble there This would be a long
 step in the direction of a govern.
 ment which would allow everyone to govern himself and become amen abe to no higher governmental au thorfty than his own individual will. 1T counties are to have separate laws made under Mir. Windsor's plan it would only require another
 step which would be logical under that rue, to allow each precinct
 in each county to provide it's own
 laws; another step would be to al low each individual to prepare a code of laws to suit his own in diyidual ideas or issues. Of course, the constitutional convention will not take MT. Windsor seriously in this latest radical initiative and referendum proposition; it certain iy should not.
 The proposition of NJ. T. Webb, | which would prevent any railroad from consolidating its stock or ranchise with any other railroad
 might work to visit great injustice those who have in the past or may in the future invest their money ! in railroad building. While we ] would not criticise the motive of
 Mir. Webb in offering this proposi- 1 ton We do not believe anything of the kind should be paced
 in the constitution or anything else | which might deter the investmeI
 of capital in railroad building which ! is so desirable in Arizona The constitution should authorize the l legislature to regulate railroads and all other public utility corporations l by a commission for that purpose or | otherwise. Such a proposition in 1 the constitution as the one pro
 posed by Mir Webb might result in the destruction of a railroad line ! in the future, whereas, it might be kept going by such an arrange
 ment as MT. Webb would prevent. Delegate Feeney has offered a proposition for the constitution which would prevent the governor calling out State national guards in connection with industrial dis turbances He would have special session of the legislature called to determine when troops should be used in cases of disorder which might arise from industrial dis putes. Such provision might hinder the governor from enforcing and protecting life and property and should not be thought of for moment. The prospect for labor

We suppose the next request from Globe 10 the Constitutional conyen ton will be one declaring that DC one not a member of the Western Federation of Miners or the Indus trial Workers of the World shal, be permitted to work in any capac ity in the new state. Glory be- the constitution of the United States will contiue as protection to every class of citizens in the future as heretofore in Arizona.

If we are to have an educational qualification for laborers in Arizona why not apply it to all industries Indeed, why not prohibit any. one coming into the state who can not speak English? Certainly the constitutional convention will not long consider the Kinney prop osition.

To make the constitution of a great state is proving a task that will tax the best for the best there is in them. Whatever is done will not please everybody and it is well that it should not But it must be made to please a majority of the people or it will never reach Wash ington. Fortunately the people of Arizona must pass first upon it's

troubles in Arizona are not i'm minent or alarming. but In indus trial disputes or disputes of any other character. the governor should be clothed with thes power to en force the law and protect life and property with all the power of the state, civil and military.
 Reports from Phoenix indicate that both the women suffragists and prohibitionists are discouraged and neither have much hope in receiv- ing the desired consideration at the hands of the constitutional con vention. So far as the suffragists are concerned we do not believe there is any considerable sentiment even among the women of Arizona to back their contention. If there is such a sentiment here it has never been vigorously displayed. The prohibitionists have a local option law now which may be availed of at any time, besides under the ih itiatiye and referendum they may SC cure phobition whenever the people of Arizona desire it and are willing to vote for 1t. Until a majority deaire prohibition it ought not be thrust upon them. It is not a mat ter wh'cb woulG go in the cons;.tr ticn, hut should be left for future
 egislation.
 It is presumed that the constitu' tional convention will provide a rail road commission for the new state of Arizona, along the lines of the interstate commerce commission. Delegate Webb, of Graham county has introduced a railroad commis sion proposition which seems to GOV CT the ground
 A number of propositions have been introduced into the convention on the subject of homestead exemp' tins from execution for debt. The homestead right for the protection of the family is as old as the gov ernment itself. Any provision of this kind of course limits the credit of the individual to the amount oi the homestead protection. so it is not very material what proposition should receive the favor in the con vention.
 Bro. Dunbar. of the Arizona Dem ocrat. is stalking his reputation as a judge of men, that the constitu tion now in the process of incuba ton will be all right We are ir' clined to believe Dunbar is right. but wonder what will become oi those delegates who have been firt ing with the labor party issues dur ing the session. should the issues be left out.

MANY Chill DREN WORK
IN SCHOOL GARDENS
Bows and Girls Are Busy Raising
Beans, Beets, Carrots and
Other Vegetables.

The boys and girls of Washington
gardens this summer and are learning
much about plants and practical gar
dening. large number of children
are working on the gardens in various
parts of the city. One of the best of
the gardens is located in West Poto-
mac Park, and is generally known as
the speedway garden. The soil there
is rich and fertile and gives good re-
suits.
About forty boys are working on
their garden plots in the speedway gar
dens three mornings each week. Each
boy has his own plot, and some have
two plots. They are raising tomatoes.
beans, beets, turnips, carrots, cucum
bers and other vegetables.
Aside from the educational value of
this work, the practical benefit de-
rived is great, and each boy is given
all the vegetables he raises.
There are also geography plots In
plant, hemp, flax, wheat, rye, barley
and such grains as would aid in an ed
ucational way are raised. Two or more
boys may take charge of such plot,
but this work is optional. Weekly
planting and observation lessons are
given.
The speedway boys are enthusiastic
workers. They are now establishing
two base ball teams and expect to ar
range a series of games with the boys

Case Is an Isolated One.

Gertrude Monsen, the young woman
who is suffering from pellagra at the
Georgetown University Hospital, is said
to be convalescing. 1t is believed that she

interested himself in the case, and has as
signed several physicians who have had
experience with the disease in the south

Drifting Out to Sea.

Capt John Barclay, the Potomac pilot

a day or two ago instrumental in saving
two men from drowning in lower Chesa-
peake bay. He was aboard the steamship
Nicomedia. which he was plotting from
Baltimore to the capes OF the Chesa-
peake, and as the ship was a short dis
tance above Middle Ground shoals he saw
an object on the water which was made
out to be an overturned boat with two
men clingng to it, being carried rapidly
out to sea. Calling the attention OF
Capt Schmidt, the master of the steam
er. to the plight of the men, Capt. Bar
clay Unanswered the big ship to bring it
close to them, and boat was lowered,
and, in charge of the second officer of
the ship, was sent after the men.
The boat returned with w. s. Frizell
and William Stoddard, both of Norfolk.
who were exhausted from clinging to
the boat for seven hours after it was
overturned in a sudden squal.
When Capt. Barclay left the ship at
Cape Henry he took the men with him
and gave them quarters on the steamer
Pilot until next morning, when they were
landed at Cape Henry, Capt. Schmidt
had provided them with dry clothes after
they had been rescued and given creature

MELON CROP LATE THIS YEAR.
But It Will Be Big One and the
Prices Should Be Low.

Advices received by the watermelon
dealers at the 18th street wharf, who
handle the bulk of the melons brought
to the wharf market are to the effect
that the melon crop is late in matur-
ing this year and that il will be the
middle or latter part of next week be
fore the first vessel laden with the
fruit ties up at the wharf here this
season This time last year cargoes
of melons were arriving at the wharf
market almost daily, and the oyster
wharf was a busy place. Within the
next ten days or two weeks however,
the melon market will be waking up
and before the middle of August the
season will be in full SWING and
vessels will be bringing many thou
sand watermelons here each day from
the farms along the James York and
Rappahannock rivers, the eastern
shore of Virginia and Maryland and
from the lower Potomac. The water
melon crop this year will be large
one, it is stated, and by the middle OF
the season the fruit should be selling
at low figure.
