NO CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvEN-
TION NECESSARY.

4 $3.50 %h01tSAty Nhod6ht pkOQut-
ing address OF Judge ]. S. Manning
which appears in full elsewhere in
these columns will repay careful
perusal.
Judge Manning takes the ground
that the calling of the much talked
about constitutional convention to
revise the constitution of North Carr
olina is entirely unnecessary al this
time. His conservative and judicial
presentation of the situation that
now confronts the people OF the state
will have a steadying effect or the
public sentiment that just now seems
bent upon a rampage of destruction
OF the fundamental principles OF on.
government, this sentiment finding
expression ia the advocacy of the
initiative. the referendum, the recall
and similar innovations. Judge
Manning takes the ground that It is
not necessary % change the organic
law Of the country every time some
slight reform is desired. Along his
line, Judge Moaning emphasizes the
fact that in respect TO those prino;-
pies which are fundamental to the
preservation of the liberties Of
people and the perpetuation of the
right OF the people to direct and con-
troll their own government, no mig
take was made by our fathers, and
no change has been made nor will
ever be made IN them by our people.
Passing generations and passing cen
turtles but fix and illuminate The
truth OF these principles and make
them immortal. The
people Of the state heretofore have
been led TO cal! a constitutional con-
yention only when some vital and
fundamental principle Of government
stirring and exciting the whole peo-
pie has been presented for solution
not simply when there is presented
some question CT reform OF lesisla-
tive methods. or the salary of some
class OF state officers OF the mere
adjustment Of some one branch Of
the state government"
The constitutional amendments
that have been discussed recently
relate to the .eto power Of the gov
e-nor, the abolition Of the Office Of
solicitor. the increase Of tho number
Of supreme court judges. changes In
the present superior court system OF
the state so as to divide the state
into two or more circuits Of rotation.

No great o. fundamental plinei-
pies OF government Is involved in any
Of these questions; no great question
that can stir the thosght and emo
;iuns Of all o. the people. but only
Questions OF policy and efficiency of
the administration Of government.
In the opinion Of Judge Manning, II

board of commissioners shall enter
the same on the duplicate of the
next succeeding year, and shall add
10 the taxes of the current year the
simple taxes of last preceding year,
not exceeding five years. with twcn-
ty-fiye per centum added thereto, in
which said property as aforesaid
shall so have escaped taxation and
the said board of commissioners
shall value and assess the personal
property aforesaid for those years,
and are empowered to examine wit
nesses and TO call for papers to .le-
termine the value and to ascertain

said personal property. All pro-

portant division of the work of endow-
ment-the division of intercourse and
education-the director for which
not yet been announced. Among the
tasks of this division will be to diff
fuse information and to educate public
opinion regarding the causes, nature
and effects of war. and the means for
its prevention and avoidance; to estab-
fish a better understanding of inter
national rights and duties and a more
perfect sense of international justice
among the inhabitants of civilized ma
lions: to cultivate friendly feeling be-
tween the inhabitants of different
countries and to increase the knowl-
edge and understanding of each other
of the several nations; to promote a
general acceptance of ~peaceable
methods in the settlement of inter-
national disputes, and to maintain,
promote and assist such establish
ments, organizations, associations and
agencies as shall be deemed necessary
or useful in the accomplishment of the
urpos for which the endowment
exists.
Mr.. Albert K. Smiley, the founder
and host Of the conference, in welcom-
ing the members, after commencing the
Carnegie endowment and referring to
the recent national peace congress and
other important meetings, said in part:
For a century the conflicting claims
of Great Britain and this country with
reference to the Newfoundland fisheries
baff1ed diplomacy. Yet, asst September
the question was settled amicably, and
without causing a ripple in the diplo-
matte world. by the Permanent Court
of Arbitration at The Hague.
The very next month, our last great
outstanding difficulty with Venezuela
the Orinoco steamship case-was set
tied by the same court. Four months
later, the delicate Savarkar dispute be-
tween Great Britain and France, was
the subject of the courts award. Even
now, it has under consideration a ques-
ton of war claims, which has been
troubling Russia and Turkey for thirty
three years; and before the end of the
present ear, it will probably have
passed upon a financial dispute be-
tween italy and Peru.

JUDGE KALISCH GOING

Kalisch will have the Atlantic circuit
of the Supreme Court when he as
sumes his Office next month Justice
Trenchard. who now has the Atlantic
circuit, has decided that he viii take
the Mercer circuit. succeeding Justice
Reed, who will retire. 1t is the GUS
tom for the older justices to take their
choice, while the new justices take
what is left. Mercer has always beeh
a desirable circuit, while Atlantic has
never been considered so.
The decision of Justice Trenchard is
a surprise. however, because he is
resident of Cumberland county in
Atlantic circuit. Justice Kalisch'
vent into Atlantic county wi
