the appointment Of a committee to con.
slider a revision Of the constitution and
bylaws. and to have any amendments
which they may propose included in the
call for the annual meeting" This has
now been done. and official action OF
some sort will be taken on February 3.
Adopt New Consultation.
Although the recommendation speaks of
revision It would not be surpris-
ing II an entire new constitution should
be adopted. This is favored by the exc
,utive committee, wnle the membership
at large will undoubtedly welcome the
proposal. The present plan is TO appoint
a committee containing one or more law
yers. In order that the verbiage as we'll
as the form OF the new document shall
be beyond criticism. Only one Of the
present officers is a lawyer. Richard
Stevens. but this does not make any
material difference. as the intention Is
to form q committee largely outside Of
the present executive committee.
Many close observers believe that be-
fore the work Is concluded the entire
scheme OF government Of the association
will be changed.
There Is a strong likelihood that pro-
posal to require the champion 10 play
through and TO restrict the entry list at
the national championship will come be-
fore the annual meeting. Just what
strength will be behind them cannot be
said at present, but II Is not probable
that either viii be adopted. To require
the champion to play through. after per-
hitting INN TO stand out for twenty-five
years, would be a move bordering on
the revolutionary. and. entirely aside
for the sentimental side. there ia no rea-
son to believe that the forces behind the
present plan are too strong to be dis
lodged, especially at the first attempt.
The other proposal-to restrict the entry
list at the national championship meet
Ing-will meet with much more favor.
The list has grown so that 1t is exceed
ingiy difficult to handle II. Last year
tho entries exceeded 800. at least two
thirds of whom had absolutely no chance
Of getting beyond the first few rounds,
and nearly two weeks would have been
require for the tournament, even had
there been no rain. II a satisfactory
plan could be devised 10 keep down the
entries II would undoubtedly receive
strong enough support. although many
players feel that q big list is good for
the game and should be encouraged
One OF the plans that will be brought
forward provides for the submission Of
tho names Of prospective entrants first
to their home clubs and then to the
executive committee Of the national asso-
citation. before being accepted. This is
merely the outline OF the plan. and II
viii undoubtedly be elaborated at the
meeting.
II Is interesting to recall that the Eng.
iish Lawn Tennis association voted down
plan to restrict the entry at the Eng.
ush championship in November.

AIon Of Real Merit.

Charles Brooks Smith, of Parkers-
burg, very interestingly reviews the
political situation in this state in
an article in this issue of the Tele-
gram.
Sir. Smith is easily the leading
political writer in west Virginia and
he has but few peers N Cae nation.
His resume politically as published
herein is in his own fascinating style
and what he says as well as the way
he says it impresses one with his
thorough knowledge of the subject
he writes about.
May it not be that Mr.. Smith him
self will be chosen to the federal
senatorship, upon which his article
largely treats? ne certainly is de-
serving OF it, indeed. he merits the
highest gift within his party's power
AS a man-of real merit, he leads.
The Telegram is intimately ac-
quainted with the trojan work done
by him at state headquarters here IN
the recent campaign. wien he con-
Quoted the pubIieitylpart OF the. cam
paign. Experience and close OBJ
servaion gave him store of poIiti-
icaI knowledge, from which he fur
nished all the Republican newspa-
pers. in the state great chunks Of ef-
fective argument. He brought out
in most winning effect the many
protests made by Democratic news
papers. statesmen and leaders as
wen as the rank and file
OF the democratic party against
the party perGdy and the
shame and disgrace to the state
for which the Democratic bosses
were responsible. Millions of pieces
or political literature hearing Mr..
Smiths own impress were circulated
in West Virginia. Three times dur
ing the campaign he wrote and saw
distributed six-page supplements to
all the Republican newspapers, in
ali fully half million supplements;
They along with other literature
written by him did the real work OF
the campaign. 5.
Be it not said that such service 70

in honor. glory and power for the
man who rendered it. Charles
Brooks smith is entitled to anything
he may ask from his Darty-even
