CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION ADVOCATED

amendments to the present Constitu-
ton as the Convention may see proper.
After this, then the various amend
ments are to be referred to the people
for their approval or disapprovad; not
as whole, but each voter will be al
lowed to vote ON each proposed
amendment separately. Such amend.
ments as he may approve, he will
vote "Yes"; as to such that he may
disapprove he will vote mo"
This will be following what is called
the Ohio plan, for In that State in
1912, Constitutional Convention pro-
posed AZ separate amendments, which
were submitted to vote of the PEG.
pie, so that each elector voted his will
on each separate amendment. Ths
result was that the people approved
3S of the proposed amendments, which
thereby became part of the organic
law, and the remaining four proposed
amendments were disapproved by the
vote of the people, and consequently
fell to the ground and were of no eff
feet.
The proposed Convention is to be
held under Chapters 10 and Ill of the
Acts of 1915, which see for all the de-
tails thereof.

Congressional Race
Should we send a man to Congress

Should we send man to Congress
simply because he wants the office?
Should we send man to Congress
simply to enable him to receive the
salary that goes with the office?
Should we under any circumstances,
send man to Congress simply as a
personal favor to him?
To each of these inquiries our en-
phatic answer is NO.
In the first place no man should be
considered for this high office on
other grounds than his fitness and
qualifications for the efficient dis
charge of his duties, which are not
like the official duties of nearly all
other Offices simply statutory, in
which the law plainly sets out spe,
officially what the officer is to do.
The duties of legislator require the
exercise of a wise discretion, souLd
Judgment, and clear discernment Of
Of the effect of legislation upon the
public welfare. These necessary and
all important qualifications of Con-
gresham are the growth and out
come of experience and cannot be &C.
quired in any other way.
Mr.. Sims is now serving his twen-
tieth consecutive year in Congress
and no man, since our Government
was established, has ever served that
long who was failure in that body.
1t is impossible for a man of mediocre
ability to advance from the lowest to
the highest committee service in the
Congress of the United States. Mr..
Sims has done this very thing. He
started in a republican house with an
assignment to the Committee on PEN
sions and now in a Democratic house
he is the ranking member, and ex-
oficio Chairman of the greatest COM
mittee Interstate & Foreign Com
merce in the House. Undoubtedly
the people Of the Eighth District take
pride in the high rank and standing Of
their Representative in the law maxi
ing body Of this great Republic
Then why retire Mr.. Sims in the full
vigor and strength of body and mind
simply as a favor to a new, inexperi-
enced and untried man, who, whatever
his merits may be, cannot for many
years reach the heights of Legislative
service now occupied by our present
member.
At time like the present, when
the very foundation of civilization
and social order are disturbed and
all but destroyed in more than half
the civilized world, is it the exercise
of wisdom and good judgement on the
part of the people to give up tried
and experienced legislator to make
room for an untried and inexperienced
man?-Paris Post Intelligencer.

The present expense to the
government in mobilizing our
militia is fully compensated in
the lesson learned wherein we
may be short in matters necessa-
ry in a hurried military call.
The greater satisfaction is shown
that patriotism is not dead or
sleeping in America. Some had
become to believe that loyal blood
was not in the veins of Americas
sons. The alacrity with which
the state militia responded to the
call of congress and the president
shows a militant spirit in its
Spartan glory, when the emblem
of our liberty is assailed, or our
sacred soil invaded by a foreign
enemy. If the continued annoy
ances Of the half heathens of the
Mexican republic could fire the
American fighting blood, what
would be the result of a strong
foreign foe in invading our soil.
It is a lesson to the world that
we are not too proud to fight,
but on the contrary volunteers
by the millions would go to the
front on a call for service.
Whether we do have to fight
Mexico or not, it is one of the
noblest acts of patriotic senti-
ment expressed by our people
since the war. 1t shows to the
world that we are not only rich
in gold, but rich in red loyal blood
to shed for our country. Y

Reminiscent

Tuesday morning, July A, 1916, our
mine runs back to an event in early
boyhood, when sixty-two years ago,
big 4th of July was staged at our
home town, Carlinville, III.
The event was to commemorate not
only the patriotic day. but the com-
pletion Of the Alton & Chicago rail
road to that point. This was the
pioneer road, making its way to a
little town on Lake Michigan. TWAS
then one vast prairie to what is now
the second biggest city in the United
States. This roads southern term
mus, or rather its initial point. was
Alton then a more important city
than st. Louis.
Two things were indellibly i'm
pressed upon our childhood mind.
First, the effect Of the shrillest blast
Of locomotive whistle, as we with
others stood close by the painting en-
CINE, as it came to a stop to unload
it's human freight aboard freight cars.
The second event was while at the
grove where a big free barbecue was
prepared, and speaking was held,
This was when one man struck an
other with a heavy gold headed cane,
and knocked out his eye. That was
the first time we ever saw blood gush
from a human being, and it startled
US equal to the battles now of the old
world, where millions Of men bleed
and die.
It is quite a span, those 62 years,
and the same railroad is at the same
spot, and the beautiful walnut grove
has changed but little. But what
changes have come to the wild waste
Of level prairie along the line! The
best farms, handsome homes and
prosperous towns and cities adorn the
route Of the old Alton and Chicago
railroad, the first great railroad from
south to north through the state Of
Illinois.
