CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Fears are entertained that the res
olution to submit to vote OF the
people the question OF calling con.
stitutional convention will fail In the
Illinois house this week. There Is no
argument against constitutional
convention except that the corporate
interests have much more protection
In the forty-year-old constitution than
they could hope to retain in con
etitution adopted at the present time
The relations between the people
as a whole and corporate interests
have undergone such a radical change
In the past forty years that the con
stitution OF 1870 does not meet the
necessities OF the present by en-!
means. There are innumerablc point,
on which the constitution OF 1871
STANDS In the way of progress. TIKI
only way 1t can be made to fit The
changed conditions that have arisen
since Its adoption Is by thorough
overhauling, such as can be done in ;

An Anomaly of Tides.

A curious fact, TO which the construc-
ton Of the Panama canal calls atten-
ton, is that great difference exists
In the range of the rise and fall of the
tides between the Atlantic and Pacific
sides OF the isthmus. The mean level
or the oceans IN the same OH both sides,
but at Colon the mean range from high
TO low water IL only about seven
inches, whereas at Panama 1t Is more
than twelve feet. This great differ
ence Is explained by the existence of Il
tidal node which prevents the Atlantic
| tide from entering the Caribbean sea.
| Panama, on the other hand, lies at one
corner of the triangular area of the
| north Pacific ocean. and In arens of
that shape the range uf tide IN usually

No More "Ticket. Of aaye" Man.

The old ticket -of-leaye system has at
last gone altogether. Henceforth the
discharged convict really anxious to
make clean start will not be brought
into direct contact with the police, Up
to now the convict has been super
vised by the police on the one hand
and cared for by various philanthropy

scheme Is to combine into a central
body the societies which have hitherto
aided discharged prisoners and to give
this body authority to deal with the
convicts and funds to carry on the
work. This body will be responsible
for the convicts whose interests IT
serves, and the police will have no
