His Hope will Be Fulfilled

Mr.. Wilson told his audience in
New York that he hoped every public
man will get what is coming to him
this year. We do not know whom he
had in mind when he said this-but
we have in mind at this writing a pub
lie man who took Office not long ago
on a pledge to reduce the cost Of
living. 1t costs more to live to-day
than ever before. He pledged him
self to free passage oi the Panama
Canal for American vessels. Our ships
now pay full tolls in The canal. He
pledged himself to the principle Of
one term in his office. He is now a
candidate for re election. That pub
lie man certainly will get what is com-
ing to him.

Patriotism In The House

Patriotism rose above partisanship in
in the House OF Representatives Mon
day when Speaker Clark and Minority
Leader Mann fought shoulder 10 shoul-
der in support OF the first two bills oi
the general program Of preparation Of the
national defense. Some may conc eive
it to have been partisanship Of the
highest order, but, even accepting
that assumption, it was rare spectacle
and showed a recognition OF the truth
OF the too often neglected adage: He
serves his party best who serves his
country best" But Mr.. Mann's po'
sition was apparently more disinteres-
ted than this. He might have nag
ged the democrats about their previous
position, Of which he had vivid recol
lection, but he declared: 1t is not
the time for elimination and recrimin-
alton. 1t is the time for all to join
hands for that which may come.
The spirit Of the leaders was contagi
Gus and not a member Of the House
voted against the bill increasing ap
pointments 10 Annapolis By 800.
There was not even a roll call on the
other bill, appropriating 100000 fol
the improvement Of Mare Island anC
the New York navy yards. A few
members, including Majority Leade
Ki,chin and Representative HensleY o
Missouri, sat silent, although the for
mer voted for the Annapolis bill.
The action Of the House is not con
elusive as to what will happen TO tn
larger bills, providing for a great In
crease in naval expenditures. No

third Of what it has been, while that Of
Japan has increased nearly nine times,
as shown in a report Of Ralph Odell,
Of the Department Of Commerce, will
surprise nobody who takes into con-
sidera,ion the fact that the Japanese
wage scale is about one twelfth that
paid in American mills, and the sue
cess which has attended the efforts Of
Japan in initiating Amelican'made
goods. The loss oI trade is bad enough,
but another thing the American manu-
fac,urers have TO face is the prospect
that the present huge expansion Of the
cotton cloth industry in Japan may
result in her getting into our domes'
tic market and put the home produc'
ers out Of business, unless adequate
protection is afforded the industry
here. II Japan can make prices
agreeable to the Chinese there is no
reason why under a Democratic tariff
law, she can not invade the American
market.

MissOaTi'S Old Constitution

All MiSsourians will agree with Dr..
Isidor Loeb that the state constitution
framed in 1875 is not adapted TO pres
ent conditions. There have been
greater changes within the last forty
years than in any other like period in
history. Electric tights, telephones
and rolleys are among the revolution
airy inventions within the period.
There have been almost as great chang
es in distribution Of wealth and Of people
and in the conception Of the proper
functions Of the state and Of municipal
tiles. The trouble with the old con
stitution is that it is too legislative and
that its specific regulations and restric-
tions do not fit present conditions.
Most makers Of state constitution seem
to have felt that wisdom was born with
them and that it was likely to die with
them, so they marked out the path
legislatures should follow without de-
Walton. There have been seventy
four attemgts 10 correct some oil the
faults by constitutional amendments,
but in recent years the very number OF
proposed amendments has resulted in
the defeat OF practically all. There is
a growing belief that the only remedy
lies in a complete revision Of the con-
s,itution.
Many observers Of recent conStitu'
tional conventions have little hope oi
the drafting Of a short, simple consti'
tuition, giving the legislature ample
power to deal with new questions as
contemporary judgment thinks best.
Even the severest critics Of the obsolete
provisions are sure that they could pro-
vide new regulations that would work
all time. and unless the average citi-
zens Of the state organize on other than
ordinary partisan lines, the iaddists,
holding the balance Of power, viii
force majority Of candidates TO agree
in advance to the incorporation Of theiI
pet provisions. This was the trouble
in Oklahoma, where a small body o
men, representing an organized minor
ity Of the voters, persuaded 70 Of The
ll2 members Of the constitutional con
convention to pledge themselves Il
the support OF thirty nine distinct pro
posals in advance Of their election
But even with this danger, which cal
be obvisted if the commercial club
and other business organizations Of TIT
state throw themselves into the figh
for the election Of able and conscsen
tious delegates, free TO avail themsel
yes oil the experience Of other states
it were better TO make the trial thai
to remain trammeled by the old con
s,itu,ion. II the revised constitutio
contained more bad than good,
could be defeated when submitted. -
