The work of the convention need not
be protracted. The right sort of a
constitution is after all, though one of
great Importance. not task of great
magnitude Such constitution should
be declaration of principles Of gov

eminent: a comprehensive outline of
essentials rather than u minute spec
ification of details; superstructure
broad and elastic enough to afford =
basis for changing conditions rather
than a finished and completed cdifice
not capable of growth except by alter
ations. Just as incorporators- of a
corporation adopt charter under
which they may proceed to carry on

CURED for the good government of a
state, leaving to the succeeding legis
latures the duty to provide such spe-
cific measures as may be necessary to
adopt to carry out the general scheme
of government so framed. However
wise or salutary this or that measure
may seem. unless il is an essential
fundamental requisite or principal of
government. it has no place in a con-

that confronts us and that is that our
constitution makers may be led into
the error Of legislating rather than of
constitution making. If the true func-
tons of the constitutional convention
and of the Legislature, and the dis
tinction between them, are kept in
mind and observed, we need have lit

The Republican takes pleasure in re-
producing. In the earlier paragraphs
Judge Kent had discussed the immi-
nence of statehood and the timeline SIS
of making preparations for it. COntin-
uing. the article says:
First of these preparations, and
foremost in importance, is the consti
tutional convention and the results il
shall bring forth. Because our consti-
tuition is the foundation upon which
the structure of our state is to be
builded in the future, such foundation
must be strong and substantial and
capable OF sustaining the superstruc-
ture, and broad enough to give room
for such additions and alterations as
may from time to time be needed to
meet the increasing growth and deVel-
opment of the building. But not only
for our own needs must our own con-
stitution be wisely framed, but also
for the sake of our good name and
fame among our neighbors. Just as
the individual desires to be thought
well of by his neighbors and fellow
men and to stand high in their esteem,
so a state should be jealous of her
good name and fame among her sister
states and among the people compOs-

be judged by others. and in the near
future, in great measure by her action

expected to udjourn Wednesday for the
holiday recess and not 10 resume business
until January ;. The resolution which
passed the house probably will he brought
up In the senate tomorrow.
No objection 10 the programme has
appeared. IT is practically certain that
half dozen OF the big supply bills will
be out Of tho way by Wednesday night.
Business before both houses thus far
| has not stimulated much public interest
and seats in the galleries have gone beg
