The time is at hand when it be-
hooves every person loyal to the
principles embodied in Mississippi
PTS present constitution to de-
clare his attitude towards that ex-
cellent document and enter his
vigorous protest against any rad
ical change in its provisions. The
organic law of this great State,
as it stands today, is the creature
of Mississippi's best intellect, pa
triotism and craftsmanship and
has served to protect this COM
monwealth from the menace of
negro rule and has advanced it
to the peaceful prosperity of a
white mans government. When
a vicious rule of illiterate infer
iors threatened to engulf our be-
loved State in a ruin more hide
GUS than slavery, the masterful
mind and splendid courage of
such men as Gerrge, Walthall,
Lamar, Sykes and others, rose to
the occasion and fashioned a con-
stitutional' bulwark tn at met
every onslaught and protected
against every threatened disas-
ter. Experiencing the benefits

CrleQ ana patent constitution, ID
it wise, until it has failed to
further continue our prosperity,
to displace it with another, I'M
tried and secured at great ex-
pense especially, is these times
of stress, made doubtlv so in
this State by the European war
and the raVages of the boil Wee
vii?
What argument has been adj
duced by the clamorers for a
new constitution, save their own
desire to fashion another more
TO their liking, or to meet some
cherished end, the wisdom Of
which they have failed thus far
to establish? Not one sensible
reason, as yet, has been given,
why the present constitution
should be supplanted by a vague
conception of what another might
be to meet a changed condition,
existing more i n imagination
than in fact.
These champions for a new
constitution declare that t h e
present one was formulated to
meet the conditions of another
time, inferring by that state
ment that there is a wide differ
ence between the conditions in
this State now and then, but sub
NIT no evidence other than the
inference.
The fact is, conditions are
practically the same, except the
Improvement that has b e e
wrought by the operation of that
constitution, which they now seek
to abolish. We have the same
negro population, exceeding the
white voter, and void of those
qualities which would make them
safe electors. True, the per-
centage of ~ilIiteracy is less among
them, but hat does not increase
their qualifications to become
voters, for education does not
necessarily remove moral obi
putty. If it is to reconstruct the
constitution so as to confer upon
this element Of the States pop
ulation the right to vote without
)ther regard to qualification than
hat Of educational smattering,
then, indeed, have conditions
changed, Such changed condi-
tons do rot warrant, however,
throwing down of the bars of
the constitution and permitting
I Vicious harde to grasp the reins
Il government. If we need a
lew constitution, then it is up to
hose who demand it, to show
wherein our present one has fail
ed, and then outline one curing
IS defects. The Weekly has not
deserved where either of these
Kings has been done, therefore
it appears that the demand has
no tenable foundation upon which
to stand. We grant that every
effort, whether in art or in let
ters, carries imperfections, by
no means impairing it's worth but
serving as a foundation upon
which to build a more perfect
structure. That our present con-
stitution has defects, its most
ardent defenders admit, but these
are slight and can be remedied
by amendment, at a small cost,
and without endangering those
r%ock-rlbbed constitutional princi-
pies given to US by George, Wal
thall and Lamar.
Let US perfect this constitu-
tional safeguard until it meets
every changed condition of our
State. Let us do it by amend
ment, where it needs it, and pro-
sper under its wise provisions in
the future as we have done in
the mast. - Aherdnnn Wnaklu
