 "The common people" the rab- \ ble." the great throbbing heart of f humanity"-these are some of the | terms that are heard frequently on the floor of the convention. The old school of conservatives | hold to the theory that the people, f as represented by majorities, are not ! to be depended upon in their aggre- gated wisdom. at all times. and that sometimes the people should be protected from themselves. ' Then again there are the radical progressiyes who set the people up on a pedestal. declaring that the ma jority can never commit an error. and is therefore perfect in "afl good words and works" They hold that the majority is an intallible guide. and whatever the majority says is law and good law.

 Some of the members of the con yention have not awakened to the fact that constitution is an instru- ment of limitations. and not of statutes It should prescribe what bounds are set to legislative enact ment. but may not prescribe details properly left to the legislative func- ton.
 The simplest constitution is the broadest and most liberal, the con stitution most readily understood by the layman is the one that will have the better chance of ratification when submitted to the people. Like the gospel it is to be made so sim- pie that a way-faring man. though a fool. need not err therein.
 For instance three pages of printed proposals are required to cover the creation and assign the duties Of the Commissioner of Mines, Mining and Manufactures, and the Commissioner Of Agriculture. Aside from the ques- tion of creating new offices and null tiplying the cost of government to a point where the taxpayers will not tolerate, it is contended that the con stitution should not go further than to declare that there shall be certain offices. leaving it to the legislature to define their duties.

After playing rather listless ball
for six innings last evening. the
Hick-A-Thrift nine suddenly came
to life in their final turn at bat and
before the game was over, they
had sent a quartet of tallies across
ready been done and the contest
ended with the Rosewoods leading,
8 to 4. The result causes a tie be-
tween the Rosewood nine and the
Galahads for second position. These
two teams play their postponed
game from Monday night this even
ing and a close game should result.
Goodiel started in the box for the
losers, but after tossing one and
one-third innings, he was succeeded
by Shorty" Ziegler. "Jing" John
son was on the mound for the
'Rosies," and except for the last
inning when he eased up a bit, the
Pine Streeters never had a chance.
In the first inning, Earl Killinger
scratched hit to third base. Lyme
walked. G. Killinger singled, scoring
his brother. Lyme came in on
Beck's error. In the next frame,
the winners duplicated with another
duo of runs. Bill" Hoerner walked.
Johnson singled to right. Lyme's
double scored the two runners.
Another pair came in the fifth.
Lyme was given pass. The young
er Killinger walked. Nell also was
given the first bag, and the total
was brought to six when Eddie"
Harris landed solid single to CEN
ter.
Murray Washburn's team took on
new life in the final inning. Goodiel
walked for the third time. After
fou1ing off seven balls, Catcher
Kirby singled to left. Ziegler crack
ed one to center field and Goodiel
scored the first tally. Garverich
tripled over first base and two more
runners crossed the plate. Beck's
single through short brought the
total to four. Frank popped a fly
to Nell, and Wilsbach struck out,
ending the game. George Bender
broke into the game at first for
Rosewood. He played a smart game
in the field and secured a triple.
"Doughnuts" Wilsbach was on first
base for the "Iickies." The sum-
mary:
