Both houses of the legislature
have passed the resolution to sub.
nit to the voters the proposition of
holding constitutional convention
to frame new constitution. The
objection to the present consti-
tuition is that it is too comprehen-
sive and does not leave enough
latitude for legislation. It is a de-
feet that has been recognized ever
since it was adopted, but under
the prevailing sentimen in favor Of
paternalism that seems to be domi-
nant it is q question whether we
are in mood to adopt q better
and safer one.

Senator Crawford is not adding
any thing to his own chances of
reelection by uttering abuse of the
republicans who opposed the cleo
ton Of Dean Sterling to the United
States senate. Mr.. Cra wford says:
Along with the mephitic odors
and putrid smells, these men have
left behind them record of be-
trayal and treachery SO black and
damnable that it will remain to
curse them as long as they live"
Leaving aside the true causes
which have been explained SO often
that every school boy knows them,
in what condition is Mr.. Crawford
to make such a charge2 After the
Chicago convention had ncmi-
mated MIR. Taft for president Mr..
Crawford and his bunch said that
because South Dakota had not
endorsed Mr.. Taft at the primaries
the republicans of this state were
not bound by any ties of party
loyalty to accept the verdict of the
national convention. Following
this same course of reasoning,
some republican members of the
legislature who were sent from
counties that did not endorse Mr..
Sterling at the primaries, said
they we're under no obligation to
abide by the decision of the plural
ity that nominated him. Does the
bolter from national party de-
eiaior emit any less of "mephitic
odor' shan the bolter from state
party lecision when both are fol-
lowing the expressed will Of their

A joint resolution has been in
troduced in both houses of the
legislature memorializing congress
to enact legislation restricting the
Jurisdiction of United States dis
trict courts. The purpose is to
have the validity of all state laws
and orders of the railroad commits
sioners affecting railroad rates
tried out by the state courts, cut
ting out the jurisdiction of the
lower federal courts and leaving
only the right of appeal from the
state supreme court direct to the
United States supreme court. This
plan might result in expediting
matters by cutting out some of
the intermediate steps in appeals,
but the final decision would hardly
be affected. The state courts
would of course consider the valid
ity of the laws only as they might
affect the state constitution end
the state earnings of the railroads,
but when the case got to the federal
supreme court, if we are to judge
by previous decisions, it would be
considered in its relation to inter.
state rates, and to the orders of
the interstate commerce commits
sion. Thus one of the chief barri-
ers that now stands1in the way of
state control would still remain a
barrier under the proposed.sys
but if it would result in expediting
the proceedings it would be an ad.

clothing before turning up his nose
at the odor emitted by others.

The conservation congress held
at Pierre last week seems to have
aroused considerable interest.
There was nothing particularly
new in the recommendations made
by the society, as most of the sub
jActs have been agitated before,
but the interest manifested shows
that the interest along these lines
lis growing. Among the recon-
mendations wereS liberal appro-
priations for scientific education of
farm workers, and reduction in
appropriation for the national
guard of the state. The central
ization of rural schools, more at
tention given to instruction along
agricultural lines, and the early
consolidation of the state edu-

The West Virginia legislature
has ratified the income tax amend
ment to the federal constitution.
This left but one more state lack
ing to make the amendment effect
i've and there was a rush among
some of the remaining states for
the honor Of casting the deciding
vote. Wyoming and Delaware
both rushed the measure through
about the same time and both
claim the honor.

"a q -H
The ruling Of Attorney General
johnson that a minimum wage
law would be unconstitutional has
fortunately blocked any efforts a
long that line. So long as there
are differences in the ability to
earn wages there must be differ
ences in the amount of wages paid,
and because some person is
physically unable to earn standard
wages we see no reason why that
person should be deprived of the
right to accept light work at small
er wages.

Professor Marvin is we'll known
throughout the scientific world and
his name probably is more familiar
in the observatories of Europe than it
is outside OF scientific circles IN this
country.
Under the new chief more attention
will be paid to weather reports and

to affect agricultural and general
farming conditions throughout the
country. Other changes are to be
made in the bureau, but Secretary
Houston is not ready to announce
them.
