It is OF little practical use.

Making the Constitution.

The objection to many proposals
now heard at Albany is that they I'M
dcrtake to incorporate in the Consh-
tuition regulations which belong within
the proper sphere of legislative ac-
ton. 1t Is not the part Of the Con-
stitutlonal Convention to legislate for
the people. Its function is to provide
a frame Of government. Whether
nominations for public office shall be-
made by' conventions, by direct pri-
maries. by petition, or by a combi-
nation of these methods, Is n subject
properly to be left to the discretion
Of the legislators who must he as
sumed to he reasonably responsive to
public sentiment.
The tendency among constitution
writer's Of recent years has been 10
fall into the error of putting every
thing into the documents in whose
preparation they were engaged. They
have invaded the legitimate field Of
the lawmakers, expanded the con
stiturions 10 unbearable lengths. and
consequently reduced them in dignity
and authority to n point little SUI
perior to that attained by statutory
enactments. No subject has been too
trivial to attract the attention OF
some delegates in other States; did
not the hygienic Dimensions OF hotel
bed sheets engross the thoughts of
Oklahoma's wise men for days?
Against this tendency THE SUN has
frequently protested.

Ninety per cent. of the population
OF China are farmers, and not very
good farmers at that. although as a
class they are letter perfect in the art

Measured by the standard of results
obtained for effort applied they are
not good farmers but only good

1t is a difference.
Good farmers may be good savers.
but the reverse is not necessarily
true. china has never more than
tickled the surface OF her fields. al
though every inch is cultivated. Such
a thing as n subsoiler or a steam
plough is unknown from n end Of
the land to tho other. Commercial
fertilizers are never used, although
the land reeks with filth.
The Chinese have been trying so
long and so hard to make thrift take
the place of intelligence in their agri-
cu,tiira, practice that prod,iction has

Legislative Commerce Dcstroyers.

If Mr.. LA FoLLETTE's seamnn's act
was drawn with a view to promoting
the deplorable Government owned
merchant marine proposition, 1t seems
70 be rendering pretty effective SER
vice even before its actual operation.
TO the extent of being II preliminary
disheartener to any private capital
enterprise in the shipping line GER
tainly no complaint can be made Of
Its efficiency.
Captain DOLLAR. to whom we are
largely indebted for the visit of the
distinguished Chinese merchants now
with us, has no hesitancy in saying
that unless there is n revision of the
La Toilette measure there Is nothing
left for the privately owned American
lines but to 90 out of business or get
out from under the Stars and Stripes.
The La Toilette law goes into effect
on November . Of this year. and on
and after that date there is to be a
general hauling down of the American
flag on American merchant vessels.
The Pacific Mail steamship Company
has served notice that its transpa-
cifc sailings will cease on November
4. and after that the contract for
carrying the American mail from
Honolulu goes to a japanese steam
chip company. The Dollar Steam.
ship Line will haul down the Ameri-
can flag on the same date. Doubtless
many others will follow suit.
The socialistic Government owner.
ship project. although temporarily
latent, is still far from dead, and
only recently gave disturbing signs
OF vitality. With the seas automati-
cally stripped of all privately owned
lines by the operation of the La Fol
lette law, the Government trading
proposition would have n fair and q
free field. Then the gripping ship,
ping laws would dwindle in their eff,
feet to a trifling detail of n big annual
Government deficit with millions OF
taxpayers to make it up. If by chanc,
q private steamship operator still sur
vived, he too would he tax laden Il
meet his proportion Of his competitors
