A CHANGE OF CONSTITUTION

Missouri has been struggling along
for forty-fOur years on a constitution
devised to meet the needs of 1875. The
problems imposed upon the state by
postwar reconstruction makes a new
constitution necessary. The present
session of the Legislature will con-
slider the call for a constitutional con-
vention.
A few of the things found to be
wrong with the present constitution
are: Cities and towns are hampered
in their development by constitutional
restrictions as to governmental actiyi-
ties. revenue and the proper control of
local public utilities; the public edu-
cational system of the state, particu-
larly the rural school, finds itself in
adequate to meet the burden thrown
upon II because of constitutional de-
fects and limitations; the present pro-
visions in regard to elections. electors
and secrecy of the ballot are inner
feet and not in. line with the modern
conception of democracy; the constitu-
tional document itself is legislative in
character and replete with minor re-
strictions that block progress in di-
verse directions.

DIFFERENT MEN

How many of the soldiers and sail
ors who have seen active service in
the great world war are coming back
home to take up the positions which
they held before the war? This is a
question upon which many ideas have
been expressed of late and one which
will continue to be discussed.
A report from the New York office
of the United States Employment Serv-
ice states that many of the returning
service men have put in applications
for positions in other fields than those
in which they were working when they
entered the war. Men who were law
yers now desire work in big busi-
ness" some who were engineers now
wish to follow up farming. and a few

former teachers ask for something that
will lead to big things"
So now it is true as it has been
true after other wars that men have
found themselves" 50 to speak, and
will go about their new duties with a
greater self confidence and determi-
nation. The war has worked great
upheayal both at home and abroad
and it would be peculiar if it had failed
to bring great changes in the lives of
men and women.
There is one outstanding fact about
our men returning from abroad that
cannot be overlooked, and that is that
practically all the service men are
clamoring for a release-not many O.
them have turned to professional SOL
diers.

IT'S NOT OVER YET

On every hand you hear it: "The
war is over now, you can have this. -
In regard to luxuries of food and
dress, in the use of many things that
war has taught us to do without,
about railroad travel, we hear it.
But where are we going to get the
food and other supplies to send to
suffering Europe, if we rush to con-
sumo any surplus, much less conserve
on the regular amount.
We need willing conservation now
more than before, now that enforced
conservation is practically gone.

HAVE VALUE

Every person who makes a gift of
War Savings Stamps to either a child
or a grown person should accompany
that gift by one or two things, accord.
ing to Charles Kerr, Minneapolis as
sistant postmaster. He should accom-
pany the gift either by a lecture on
the value of thrift and the wisdom OF
keeping the stamps or by a pledge
from the recipient that the stamps
will not be cashed.
"There is a tendency" Mr.. Kerr
said, "for persons who receive stamps
as a gift to think Of them as so much
velvet something to be turned into
money and spent at once. Every
stamp giver ought to do something to
Offset this tendency. The value of
money in the form of War Savings
is just exactly as great as if
the possessor got them without egort,
as a gift. as if he had worked to earn
the money and buy the stamps. Also,
the stamps represent the toll of the
one who gave them and for that reason
have a sentimental value that must
be taken into account. If a friend
is willing to work a full day, say, to
earn the monye TO ra G
earn the money for a gift to you the
gift should be kept"

SILVER IS AGAIN
DECLARED METAL
KING IN ARIZONA
Demand for the White Ore is Pouring
In From all Quarters of Globe.
(By The Associated Press.)

Phoenix, Ariz., April 22.-Silver is
king again in Arizona, says C. P. Re-
niger, president of the Association Of
Arizona Mining Men. With the copper
market stagnant as a result of the
cessation of war requirements, the de-
mands for white metal are pouring in
from all corners of the globe. Many
of the producers are replacing their
copper handling equipment with
plants to turn out silver.
"There is big demand for silver in
China and india" says George D.
Bethuns, of Globe. "The United
States government is filling it at 81 an
ounce, the same price at which it is
supplying 200, 1000, 1000 ounces of the
metal to the British government on
contract"
Years ago when Tombstone was at
the height of its fame, Arizona came
a great silevr producer. Then came
the slump. Copper was discovered.
Last year, according to the estimate of
the United States geological survey,
Arizona produced 1892, 900, 900 worth
OF copper. "Give us "copper"" was the
cry from the United States and the
Allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
OF copper, more than a third of which
was Arizona production, are estimat-
ed to be awaiting sale, but copper is
down and silver is up.
Surveys of the state indicate that
in the Prescott and Tuscon mines sill
yer predominates over the other met
ais; in Bisbee, jerome, Globe and
Ajovits values as a by-product runs
heavily.
From the neighborhood of Prescott
comes reports of the revival of old
silver mines. Buttle- Flat, scene of a
sanguinary Indian fight in the seven
ties, is reported to have yielded new
discoveries Of silver and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
Of the northern slope of the Brad
shaws.
The official tables of the United
States geological survey report a sill
yer production of $6,813,O00 in Ari-
during 1918, but producers state
that this does not represent anything
like the total value Of white metal
recovered.
