of county supervisors. The only thing
the general assembly can do with
assurance is to do nothing.
The execNtive departments are still
more handicapped. The governor is
made titular head of the administers
ton, with no small promp and cere.
mony, and then is shorn of control
over the departments for the proper
management of which he is respon.
sible. He is told to have an admins.
tration worthy of Virginia, but he
works for two years of his term with
the apointees of his predecessor and
for his entire term, Inns but shadowy
control over nearly half the executive
officers. Barring cases of gross NAL
feasance-of which, thank God, Vir-
ginia has few, what can the COVER
nor do with constitutional officers
who will not cooperate? The budget
act gies him rightful authority he
has never been able to eXercice be-
fore. But even with this, the powers
of the governor are persuasive where
they should be compelling.
In every department theoretically
under the governor, the executive
head is handicapped in his dealings
with local officers precisely as the
executive is in ealing with him. For
example, in the department of public
instruction, perhaps the most impor-
tant in all the activities of govern
ment, every superintendent who has
held Office since the constitution went
into effect has seen great POSSIBLE
ties of better and omre economical
work; but in virtually every instance,
he has run afoul the constitution. The
reports of successive educational
commissions have been n long review
of what the department could not do
because of constitutional restrictions.
Even in the local governments,
with which it might be assumed the
constitution would not interfere, there
are barriers at every turn. The system
of county government in Virginia
would be farcial if it were not dam

For A New Constitution.
(Richmond News Leader).


Every sitting of the general as
executive departments are an argu-
ment for a constitutional convention
to redraft the organic law of Vir-
ginia.
The constitution that became eff
fcctive on July I0, 1902, was sun
set constitution. Most of the men in
the convention that drafted it had
spent their youth in the foggy morn
they had disipated it's shadows, they
found the sun SO bright they could
not realize it was settig sun. They
for Virginia continued contentment
In another sense, the majority of the
last constitutional convention were
men detached from public life and to
n curious degree suspicious of the
legislature and of the executive. Con-
fident that no changes would be need
ed after their day, the trainers of the
constitution poceeded to fix the in
situations they favored. The result is
not constitution, but code-an in
flexible, hampering code, the amend.
ment of which is difficult end
lengthy process.
The general assembly itself is
encnsed by the constitution i'll 9

ed. Its procedure is fixed. 1t is giver
little time in which to discharge it:
duties and yet is burdened with con
stitutional requirements as to bill:
that consume most of that time. Il
is forbidden to pass acts of many
kinds and nevertheless is flooded
with trivial local bills, many of which

geously oligarchical; tho sytem OF
city government has been amended
three times and still is subject ii
limitations that bind every municipal
lily of Virginia.
That there are tho conditions, and
that Virginia is weary of them, is
demonstrated by the increasing num-
Der of amendments to the constitu-
ton offered at each session of the
general assembly. At this session,
the number will reach fifteen, per-
haps more and most of them are
measures of the very first import
ance. There ae manifest limits to
the number of amendments upon
which the people can intelaigently
pass. There is always danger that
an amendment may not conform to
the general system laid down in the
constitution.
For many months the News Leader
has believed that it would not be
possible to make the desired changes
in the manner prescribed for tho
amendment of tho constitution and
that it would be necessary to have a
full revision of the constitution. A
series of articles prepared on the sub
ject was laid aside last spring be-
cause the public mind was engrossed
with industrial questions. These ques-
tions are now slowly settling them
selves. Virginia is finding the cons
titution moro and more an embarr-
assment to larger, moro effective
r~b';r service. Tho time has come to
consider when Virginia should have
u constitutional convention and how
she should choose it.

NORFOLK CONCERTS
 OPEN MONDAY NIGHT

 the fiat critic confesses that he never saw this picture of the crucifxion as wildly as he did Tuesday night while following the pageant to the accom- paniment of the vivid recitative.
 The solo work was carried on by Florence Hinkle, Merle Alcock, Or vile Harold and Clarence Whitehill; :; nine-tenths of the work calling on the two men. As the newcomer always attracts the most interest, the very little Miss Alcock had to do was watched with an expectation which was not disappointed. Miss Alcock has a most magnetic person. ality and rich, thrilling voice. Orville Harold is regarded as the special property of Norfolk for Nor folk put it's seal of approval on him before he gained his triumph at the Metropolitan.
 His work tonight clearly showed the result of winters study for he was always accurate, always drama tic and accomplished the difficult time and he could not help think ing passages dramatic. The present critic regards it as the triumph of his fiat career, that he plunged heavi- ly in Orville Harold, as it were To the present writer, MT. Harold seemed last year one of the worlds greatest tenors and after taking the precaution of consulting that su- preme court justice Of music Sydney Homer, he used all the force of the "Courant" columns to say so.
 Florence Hinkle, although she had little to do, gave a rendition of her usually perfect quality, as did also MT. Whitehill. The chorus work under the direction of MT. Mees was superb, as was, of course, the or- chestra of seventy-fve players seIec- ted by Henry P. Schmitt That goes without saying.

tive of New Marlboro and a repre- sentative of the fourth generation of the Catlin family living in that town. Their homestead has been in the family for more than 100 years.
 Mrs. Richardson's maternal grand father, Capt. Ebenezer Smith, was an officer in the army of General Wash ington in the revolutionary war. Mrs. Richardson passed her early life in New Marlboro and was educated in the public schools there. She had relative living in Knoxville, Tenn, which in 1848 was a fourishing town of 4,0OO inhabitants, and through her Mrs. Richardson obtained a posi- tion as school teacher. She had a large fund of independence and self reliance, which appealed to Captain M. D. Bearden, wealthy resident of Knoxville, who operated a steam boat on the Tennessee river and had other business interests. He owned several slaves. They were married Nov 1, 1849, and he died in 1854.
 Although Mrs. Richardson admired the beauty and pathos of the affec- tion that slaves often displayed for their. masters, she never became re- conciled to the slave trade. Captain Bearden had one trusted slave, Peter who begged so hard to be bought by her after his death that she bought him on the explicit understanding that he should work and reimburse her the $500 she would pay for him and in that way gain his freedom. He paid $25 month until his liberty was obtained. On Dec. II, 1857, Mrs. Bearden was married to David Richardson of Knoxville, who died in 1870. In 1903 she returned to New Marlboro and passed her summers on the old place and her winters in Canaan until her death.

 of the dealers came, notwithstanding the fact that market conditions have continued to improve since April.
 The practically unanimous opposi- ton of the dairymen was probably the chief reason for a satisfactory settlement of the difficulty. Not in many months have farmers been so aroused as they were over this at tempt on the part of the dealers to continue to buy their milk far below the costs of producing it. Thousands ot meetings were scheduled by far mers and many of them were held before the good news reached them that an agreement had been made. No one who attended one of these meetings would long be in doubt as to the determined sentiment of the farmers for fair play.
 The agreement covering four months instead of one will do/ much to stabilize the whole industry. Both farmers and dealers can make their plans some time in advance because they know what the prices for the next few months are going to be.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
 VERY IMPRESSIVE

 with number of songs, recitations, duets and the Gettysburg address, by about forty children from East Ca naan. These children were trained by Misses Finnegan and DeHart and it was general opinion that the work was the snappiest of it's kind ever seen or heard here. Too much praise cannot be given for the excellence which they attained.
 Mildred Beebe and Florence Hicks also offered recitations in a very pleasing manner. This was follow ed by an address of welcome and ap- preciation by Commander E. s. Roberts.
 The principal speaker of the day was Rev. Reynolds of Housatonic, former chaplain during the recent war. MT. Reynolds took for his sub ject "What Does It Mean" He spoke very interestingly of what the Civil war had accomplished as a stepping stone to permanent democracy Following with the work of the Legion in the past war, he stated that but for the Civil war the great World War would probably never have taken place. Meaning that our love for and attainment to our pres ent height of freedom and demo- cracy was the principal for which we fought. MT. Reynolds is a very eloquent speaker and his remarks proved very interesting to those present.
 The exercises came to close with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.
 The following from the pen of a Berkshire resident appeared in the Sunday Springfield Republican and is of peculiar interest at this time:
 A Canaan woman established the custom on May 30, 1874, of decora- ting graves of soldiers with flags. In other years subsequent to the civil war flowers have been placed on soldiers graves, but never before that year had flags been used. The intelligent, patriotic daughter of Berkshire who started this practice which has become nationwide was Mrs. Laura s. (Catlin) Richardson, who was born in New Marlboro on Dec. 31, 1925, and who died in Ca naan Feb. 4, 1911, aged 85. Her father was Joseph s. Catlin, a na-

 opinion on the point.
 During the intervals between the acts songs by Stephen Hendry and Lester Place were well received. A local male quartette which is always popular, must have been satisfied with the impression they made. They gave encores, but the audience want ed more.
 The Boy Scouts gave an excellent display, and if they only had a proper gymnasium, they would be hard to beat. They are now, for that matter, and credit must be given their instructor for his efforts in training them to point where they can give an exhibition under adverse conditions which merits genuine enthusiasm on the part of the spectators. They got it too.
 A male dancer in the third Act deserves special mention.
 To commend those entitled to praise would be too big task, as all were good, so good that we are sure that Canaan is anXiously waiting for the next Entertainment.
 The Community League has done much to bring the people of Canaan together and let us hope that the good work will continue.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mir. Editor Conn. Western News

MT. Editor Conn. Western News Dear Sir
 A letter from one of Canaan's young people, attracted my atten- tion. I would suggest a slightly different way to avoid going home in the dark. The Community Service Association could see that the dances shall be over at 11:30 or at 12 o'clock sharp, and that would give the young. people time to get home before the lights are out. They would have that much less fatigue, and more sleep and be in better condition for the next days work.
 I think there is no doubt but that the Community Service Association know perfectly we'll that a plenty of sleep is extremely necessary to the welfare of all of us.
 One of Canaan's old women, who used to be young.

 These labor agitators ought to stop saying that Waterbury condi- tions are like those in Russia. It is a pity that some of them can't go to Russia and see the difference. Emma Goldman's experience is something that all of them ought to have a chance to try. To her Russia looked so good that she wanted to reproduce it here. She was sent to the only place where she could get it and a little of it is enough. She would almost give her soul to get back Waterbury American.

While in the largest cities 1t is 6 fact that the heaviest meal of the day occurs at night, it is also a fact that in the smaller cities. of 100000 popu- lation and below, the heaviest meal occurs at noon.

In fact, three systems like that consisting of earth and moon could be strung out in a row through the center of the sun, without coming within 500OO miles of his surface on either side.
