CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION.

Through the Indifference, lethargy and neglect CT
majority OF the citizens the alert voting minority
has kept the 70 year old chains upon the eOnsti'u-
ton OF the state.
only OF the proposed amendments. unless
later reports change the result has been adopted.
The other twelve rejected.
The total vote cast At the special election was but
a small percentage OF the total citizenship. prob
ably less than ons-hfth all entitled vote That
means that one-:euth OF the voters able. by
their negative votes 10 block the progressive mea-
sures.
Changing the constitution in Indiana IL easy
matter. The amendments must be passed by two
SESSIONS Of the legislature. insuring the people
against any proposals being submitted without
proper time for debate and consideration.
with the possible exception OF the two taxation
amendments there was not a proposal submitted
which did not merit serious consideration and for
which valid arguments could not be urged IN their
behalf. Even tho tax amendments had supporters
who believed that the taxing rower should be at all
times under the the legislature IN order
10 meet changing conditions
The one amendment adopted, the so-oalled citi
zenship amendment. definitely fixing the status OF
voters in this state and eliminating hrst pa
per foreigners escared the general slaughter only
through the extraordinary efforts put forward by
the women OF the state.
Their campaign in its behalf in itself strikns
proof OF the wisdom equal suffrage for showed
that women can be relied upon TO show at least an
intelligent self interest in public affairs
The speu-binding profession must blame itself for
the failure OF the amendment to require educational
qualifications for admission to the practice Of law
The campaign IN behalf of that change lacked both
the punch and persstency OF the womans effort for
their project
The serious aspect does not lie in the defeat or
tie carrying any proposal The election does
offer a serious indictment against our methods Of
government
The right TO vote should carry with the duty 10
vote. The obligation should be personal as TO
cause its forfeiture If not exercised.
AS long as the good intentoned but Indifferent
people refrain from voting important questions,

chinery of government for his selfish ends and
purposes
The election is than disappointing-not in
results in the fact that it indicates wide
spread indifference 10 public questions.
Democracy depends upon correct Interpretation
OF the will OF the majority When minorties
permitted TO reign abuses of any sort may be
pected.

OFF THE BENCHES BY CHRISTMAS.

A certain rich auto maker drew upon himself
the ridculs and laughter of the nation when he een
much money and a group of enthusiasts the mis-
sion OF taking the soldiers of the world out % Ile
trenches by Christmas"
Behind the laugh was the very sober fact that
the world would have welcomed success 10 his
Quixotlc stunt
The soldiers came out of the trenches only after
this country had sent two million men to those bat
tie lines and turned the tide OF war to victory.
When the men called upon to rerder this
service they took with them the memory cheer
ing crowds Of fervent handclasps OF pledges Of
eternal gratitude AMI of welcome on their
turn.
It Is matter OK common knowledge that those
who made the promises when fear Of defeat clutch
cd their hearts forgot chem when security ard safe
~ attained.
The bonus is postponed indefinitely, despite the
statements OF congressman looking for reelection
thet something Will be done soon.
The big fact remains that many Of the men who
vent into service listed in the army of the
1--WE million unemployed
The time has come for a real crusade to remedy
the present situation.
There is need Of the product Of the labor Of this
new army. The creations of their hands and minds
would contribute TO the total Of human comfort.
Especially is this true Of the men who served in war
and who jobless.
The nation finds money for many useless projects.
It's credit might Dc used for projects which would
increase the national resources
Vast areas In the be brought into pro-
ducton by irrigation giving permanent employment
and homes 20 thousands
Great territories can be reclaimed in the south
by drainage systems on gigantic scaes-and the re-
claimed lands would add billions the total wealth

THE RUNAWAY.

The frogs are singing in the sedge,
The birds among the boughs.
Along the rivers reedy edge
The care-free cattle browse;
The spotted puppy barks for JOY,
The chipnsunk romps in glee,
They do not know the little boy
Has run away tC sea.
They do not know the fragile bark
That floats across the foam
Where runs the river, deep and dark
Is never coming homA
They little dream that he who plies
The solitary oar,
Means soon TO sail meath alien skies
To seek an alien shore.
He's run away, his bread TO earn
Where pillows roar and TOSS.
Where fathers are not hard and
stern,
And mothers often cross.
He's voyaging to the ocean side
Quite desperate at last,
But still with high unbroken pride
To ship before the mast.
Yet when across the pasture lot
The evening shadows fall.
We think he'll find that home is not
So dreadful after all
And something tells Us that the crew
He meant to join in port,
Will sail away across the blue
At least one member short.
