men from Great Britain and Northern
Europe. To secure this class of labor
however the Southern and Eastern
European must be debarred; for his
employment is followed by wages and
working conditions which are intolcr-
able to British and Northern European
wage carners.
The matter Is OF peculiar significance
to the South because of the lack of
proper labor supply In the face of an
unprecedented industrial expansion
There are grave political and social
reasons which should prevent the eX-
tcnsive employment of southern and
Eastern Europeans in the southern
States. To these should be added an
economic consideration, which is of
the greatest import-that the only
method by which we can obtain the
labor essential to the proper develop
ment and diycrsiicBtion OF our manu-
features and the cultivation Of our va
cant lands is to secure the passage of
u law restricting the present alien in
nuX.

AUTOMOBILE sElrIsIrNEss.

The possession of AN automobile Of
ten seems 10 create IN its owner Pc
culiar irresponsible solhshncss. 1t
makes him forget tina; mere pedes-
trians have any rights ut all. It makes
him careless, overbearrg and almost
inhuman The result is such general
and vigorous complaint as is heard IN
Richmond to-day about the usurpntion
OF Byrd Park and some principal
streets by reckless motorists. This
complaint is perfectly justified. y
small per cent of the population should
not lie permitted to interfere with tho
peace of mind and comfort OF the vast
bulk OF the population that uses the
parks and streets. II there are zoo
motors in Richmond. and each is shar-
cd in by Ave persons. the total of $500
is setting Its rights up against those
OF the $4,000 remaining. This is con-
vincing proof that the Automobile
Club and the police should get togeth-
er and make the most stringent rules
fsr the use of the parkways and bouie-
wards. II is folly for the few 10 be
permitted TO carry danger, stencil, dust
and discomfort into the Fairgrounds of
The many.
OF course, the automobile is 4 good
thing. Its commercial uses have hard
ly begun. AS n means of rapid trans
it in the country and town for those
who actually need speed, it is very SER
r!ceable. AS a means OF recreation and
aealth. used with sense by responsible
people. 1t has Il place. But as n dan
Gerous toy, fad. "a sensation chaser
an6 u symbol for snobs. 1t is being
sadly overdone. We fear Richmond is
right at tho crisis of it's automobile
stiffness. Other places where the ear
mas been used longer have gotten over
.hc greenness. They are content to
use machines practically for what they
are fitted without tearing round at
the risk of far moro important peoples
lives. But until tho drivers of cars do
reach the considerable. common sense
point OF View, they had better be re-
minded by the heavy fine and the re-
pudiation of thoughtful and unselhsh
owners.

Forty two constitutional amend
ments will be submitted to the people
of Ohio In September for their rati-
hcation or rejection 9 result OF the
labors of the Constitutional Convcn-
ton. which adjourns this week after
a session of almost three months The
propositions are so numerous that
they emphasize the fact that the pres
ent day tendency is TO frame codes
rather than constitutions as tho or
ganic law of the state, for the State
Constitution OF the earlier days rivaled
the Federal Constitution in brevity
and in the omission OF principles not
OF permanent nature.
Many OF the propositions put to the
people by the convention are thor
oughly constructive. and some OF them
are:
Empowering the Legislature To au-
thofl"e the rendering of verdict by-
not less than three-iourths OF II Jury
III civil cases.
Providing that the Leg !slature may
establish board or commission for
the control OF organization, business,
issue and sale OF stocks and securities
OF corporations.
Giving the Legislature authority TO
frame law for the quick removal of
all public officials upon complaint ana
hearing. thus avoiding the popular re
can, and substituting more efficient
. method therefor.
Giving authority Tor the issuance
OF public bonds Ia the amount of S5O.-
100000 Tor the building and mainten-
ance OF Sood intercounty roads.
