oHIo's CONSTITUTION


Forty-two proposed constitutions!
amendments have been framed and
made ready by the Ohio constitutional
convention and will be presented to the
voters on Sept. s. The most radical
change planned is limiting the power
OF the supreme court.
The convention voted the removal of
the word male from the bill of rights
of the present constitution and thereby
gives votes to women. A proposal was
passed providing for the direct primary
election of delegates to the national
convention and FOR the primary nomi-
nations of state and city officials. The
proposal also provides a preferential
vote for the United States senate. The
Initiative and referendum passed by
the convention provides for the direct
Initiative upon constitutional amend
ments on petition of 10 per cent of the
voters and indirect initiative upon leg
islative questions upon 6 per cent.

wATTERsoN GROWS ELOQUENT

Colonel Henry Watterson of the
Louisville Courier-Journal con-
an editorial on the Baltimore
convention with the eloquent and
touching words which follow:
THE morning breaks. The light
ahead is fair to see. Ii is of good
.agury that once more we meet in the
glorious old metropolis of Maryland.
Time was when democrats turned to
Baltimore as mahometans turned to
Mecca. Noble city, in deep reflec-
Ition the spirit of democracy walks
thy streets this day; broods amid thy
s~olititudes, pauses beneath thy bal
comics and belfries to revisit the
scenes of the past, glow with pride
in recalling the triumphs Of other
days, the beauties-thy beauties, Oh
Maryland, My Maryland-of other
days; to stand at last upon the mon
ument, whispering to the stars God
of dreams what may betide, God of
the fathers, grapt democracy heart
of grace, God of the universe, save
us our republic
Gentlemen of the convention,
these may be but an old mans fam
cies-his cradle song come back to
him as he stands upon the brink of
the awful river-his bosom warm
with love, his eyes wet with tears,
reyerent not yet afraid, he be-
seeches you to put all else aside-to
listen only to the music of your
hearts-to give us a democrat; a
democrat, tried and true, without
fear and without reproach, who,
elevating the host Of the religion of
jefferson, shall lead us to the de-
lectable mountains, where history,
rescued from shame, may plant
again the eagles and proclaim anew
1.-THE majesty of democracy unterri-
fed and undefiled."

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS

1t is stated that following the re-
cent riotous. outbreak in the mess
hall of San Quentin (Cal.) peniten-
tiary, in which two conyicts were
shot dead while leading a demonstra-
ton against the food furnished, SOL
itary confinement for life will be me-
ted out to the ringleader, twenty
Others put on bread and water for
from three to six months, and ten
Others disciplined. The warden is
quoted as saying thar there is no
question in my mind that prison re-
form agitators are responsible for
the present unrest in the prisons of
the country, East and West. Prison
ers remember every crumb of COS
sip about their condition. They feel
and respond TO outside agitation in
their own way"
With such views as expressed
above entertained by a warden, an
outbreak among prisoners in any phi
son may be better understood. I'm
der such a management, few crumbs
of comfort are likely to reach the
prisoners except from prison reform
agitators," who by preserving effort
manage to get an insight into con-
ditions inside the walls. The spirit
of the San Quentin warden trans
lated into the management of the
prison might be expected to breed
desperation.
Perhaps, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, the most effective contrast to
that system is furnished by the re-
port from the Bilibid prison, on the
other side of the Pacific. There, on
arrival, a prisoner is a third-class
man with no privileges. He wears
stripes, can not write letters or re-
ceive visitors and is not allowed to
smoke. Six months later, If his con-
duct has been good, he is furnished
with a brown suit, can correspond
has an allowance of tobacco, etc
Six months more of good behavior
makes him a first-class man, with in.
creased liberties, living in barrack;
instead of a cell, with the opportun-
ity of playing baseball or Other
sports and a higher grade of work
In nine years, says the Dispatch
there has under this system been bur
one attempt to escape. Most of thu
men are really reformed and be.
come useful members of socity.
(Which is the better PLAN asks
the Dispatch? Men do not necess
arily become insensible brutes wher
sent to prison. But brutal repression
may very easily make them so, while
decent and humane treatment ma!
make men OF them."-Houston Post

MILLIONS-NO ONE TO CLAIM
THEM.

One hundred millions of unclaimed
money in the banks-derelict gold
which nobody owns. and which the
banks are naturally pleased to take
care of.
The sum total may be exaggerat-
ed. But make a liberal deduction,
and you still have many millions to
which no rightful owners make a
claim. There is no bank in the whole
length of the world which has not
its lists of these bank balances that
may be said to go a-begging. Some
are for trivial sums, scarcely worth
the trouble pocketing; some are for
amounts running into thousands.
Some years ago it was found tha'
the Bank of England alone had near
ly IL 1000 of these dormant accounts.
Forty of them had over 5000
apiece to their credit; one balance
was written in six figures, 1907, $50.
The total al the bottom Of the long
list was s39,24S,S75. This amount
was very largely made up Of unclaim-
ed dividends on government stock.
Scottish banks have, $4,000, 900
of this overlooked gold-English
banks at least double this sum. Am
erican banks are as well favored.
How does it come there? And what
becomes of it?
1t seems inconceivable that so
much money, for all Of which there
must have been owners at some time
or other, should be thus lost to sight.
A score or more of simple causes ac-
count for the seeming impossibility.
A man may, for private or business
reasons. have accounts with more
banks than one He dies; his execu-
tors know nothing of any but his
usual bank; the balances at the other
remain unclaimed.
He may die abroad, or disappear,
leaving no clue to MS banking af-
fairs; he may even forge. that such
an account is not closed. In these
and many similar ways-mostly the
result OF carelessness-money is left
in the hands of bankers to swell the
dormant funds.
For seven years the bankers keep

the accounts open, prepared to pay

such ownerless money went to build
London's splendid law courts. The

THE A LETTER.

That 4 a touching little story,
printed in The Herald today, about
th letter just delivered to its ad-
dressee, almost fifty years after II
was written. 1t is a reminder of the
war times. of course. The letter was
taken by the enemy and was pre-
served ny the man who captured 1t,
forgotten by him perhaps for years
and years, and then mailed to the
person to whom it was written.
What a queer, sweet, sad experience
for the recipient. The sweet little
wife" had aged fifty years between
the penciling of that letter and the
recent Of it. The little girl who
must not be allowed to forget her
father. was more than fifty years
old when the letter came-if she
still lives. Tommy never knew ABOUT
that horn, perhaps, until he a be-
come an honored and respected
Judge, and until a half century OF
life's joys and sorrows had passed
over his head. Assuredly all the ro-
nance of this life is not to be found
in novels.

chronicled at the cotton exchange IN

crop now promised by the Lone Star
State, is more than offset by the de-

ncr to Baltimore.


 The primary election has a dual pur- pose, first to name one delegate from each of the six districts created by the central committee and second for each democratic voter to express his pref erence for presidential candidate. The interesting feature of the situation is that the voters may select delegates and instruct them at the same time to vote for the man they personally do not want, though that is hardly likely to be the case, for the voter will gen orally vote for q man announced as the champion of his candidate.
 The six districts and the candidates for delegates in each. are as follows:
 No. l. Graham, Greenlee. GiIa and Pinal counties, Judge Little, candidate.
 No ?. Pima and Santa Cruz coun- ties, l.. $ Ives, candidate.
 No 3. Mohave and YaVapai cOun- ties, Edward Thompson, candidate
