Notwithstanding this unexpected

to believe they will indeed pay no re-

solemn obligations which have been
exchanged between them and destroy
American ships and take lives of Am

ruthless naval program they have an.
nounced as their intention to adopt.
Only actual overt acts on their
part can make me believe it even nov.

II. B. No. A is no more. The senate
has held that 1t did not present the
proper method Of amending the
constitution; that the business of
legislative assembly is to make law
and not to draft and submit new
constitutions. Thus the supreme court
is relieved from the responsibility of
deciding the question. If the bill had
passed, the question was sure to be
submitted to the supreme court the
same as the capital removal case, by
a suit to enjoin the submission of the
measure to a vote Of the people. And
OF course, whether right or wrong, the
decision OF the highest judicial
tribunal is final and conclusive.
No one really questions the
propriety OF amending the constitu-
ton, but Of course it must be done
in proper manner so that when done
1t will be above question and suspicion.
There is a way to do 1t within the
present year. 1t can be done pursuant
to a valid law providing for q consti-
tutional convention and a special elzc-
ton to ratify the measures approved
and submitted by the convention.
Under the present constitution the
people have had some show Of pros
perity by reason OF our accession to a
vast, new and fertile prairie country,
probably one hundred times more
valuable and productive than the land
Of Canaan. BY working late and early
and by robbing the new prairie soil Of

its fertility and by contracting debts
and rating the land at an increased
valuation, the people of the state have
made a living and some how OF pros
perity, but the total value Of all build
ings and permanent improvements IN
the state is not more than the sum
total of the public and private debts
and the cost of replacing the soil
fertility. Hence. we conclude the peo-
pie have been working for a mere ltv-
ing; they have been made hewers or
wood and drawers of water and slaves
to the corporations of other states.
The wealth and products Of the toll
ers flow out Of the state in a con-
tinuous stream to enrich and build UP
cities. factories, packing plants, coma
bines and trusts in other states.
Under a proper amended consti-
tuition. proper laws and an honest.
efficient administration. the people
may retain the products Of their
industry and in every year add to
their wealth millions on millions of
dollars. Now is the time for the lead
ers Of civic reform to consult and to
act wisely and to prescribe q just
remedy for the great social wrongs,
as I think most Of the senate who
voted against II. B. No. IA did so on
principle, and they are not disposed
to block the wheels OF progress by
voting against a bill for a consti-
tutional convention.

New York, Feb. 8.--Todayis short
session will so down in history as one
of the most memorable in the annals
OF the stock exchange. Announce
ment OF the break with Germany came
at the end OF the first half hour, the
market then following an uneven
course evidently in anticipation OF
momentous developments.
The first flash from Washington re-
suited in moderate declines. These
gained Roadway on accelerated OPP
erations, rails dropped to points
with greater losses in industrials and
specialties. In the last half hour a
broad and general buying movement
under the lead OF United States Steel
soon turned many previous losses to
substantial net gains.
Steel rose to 104A. a gain OF four
points. with to points in war In
sues, Utah copper and shipping and
30 points In Bethlehem Steel.
The closing was extremely feverish
and strong as to important stocks.
Sales exceeded 100000 shares.
