Coming n from Fast Liberty or
a train were two men who appar-
emily were old acquaintance and
who met in a jovial mood. Both
men we're quite gray, but each had
a luxuriant head Of hair. Near
then sat a stout party with a shin
ing dome that was almost destitute
OF hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face
tious remarks about silvered locks,
then INDUCED in some pleasantries
about the thinning Of the thatch,
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, much to the
amusement OF the passengers, but
TO the evident discontinue Of the
baldheaded man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument on the cause of badness,
and after considerable POPULARITY
the pair turned 10 the pearly pated
stranger, and one said:
my friend and l have been dis
cussing the cause Of badness, but
we can't seem TO agree. Would you
mind telling us what you regard q
the real cause Of badness"
The stranger wheeled about. eyed
bis questioners fercely and snorted

This Mr.. Watson denies. Then he
adds.

that his fabrication was uttered not

IN accordance with our prom
Use, made last week, we shall en-
deavor to discuss to the best OF
our ability the four constitutional
amendments to be voted upon
this fall. They are important
because several Of them will eff
feet the people nearly and conse-
quently should receive the care
full attention and study OF each
'voteF. Having been passed at
t,vc successive sessions of the leg
iSlature it is now up to the peo-
ple of Virginia to render a deci-
sion for or against them. Though
strongly opposed to their passage
with the exception of one in
which we see possibilities of both
good and evil we shall neverthe-
less endeavor TO discuss as we see
them both their good and bad
points.
First. To make the session OF
the Legislature ninety instead of
sixty days. as it is at present.
Advocates of this measure find
several reasonable and seeming
lysOund arguments to urge in its
favor. They say that a great
deal of wise and desirable legisla-
tion is necessarily Cut off on &C
count of the great rIsh of bust
ness at the close of each session.
Also that this rushing through Of
important laws is dangerous in
that some obnoxious measure is
apt to get through and they say
that increasing the secession to niLe
ty days would eliminate these
conditions. This may be true
but we do nos believe it. In
crease the length of session to
ninety days and instead of scrap
ing FORTY days as they do now
and crowdIng all the work into
twenty days. they would scrap
for SIXTY days and still leave
twenty days to really work in.
If they would get busy at the be
ginning of a session there would
he ample time for the transaC-
tiJn Of all business and the fellow
who couldn't get through a good
law in sixty would stand little
chance of doing it in ninety days.
Worse still. if this amendment is
BASED the next legislature will in
crease their own saleries proper
tionateIy and that means a con
siderable expense. We believe
that every vCler should cast his
ballot against this amendment at
the election in November,
Second. To allow county and
city Treasurers to succeed them
selves indefinitely, the present
provision ofthe constitution be-
ing that they may not succeed
them selves but once nor act as
deputy to their successors.

reference 70 this. amendment.

Neither ashamed nor unduly

Some men who have worked their

afraid they exaggerate, as a friend OF
