Americans all understand that passion, however

The Call for the State Convention
to meet at Oskaloosa yesterday, to
consider the proposed Religious
Amendment" to the National Con-
stitution, was published in this paper
last week. We observe that some
papers are bitterly opposed to this
Amendment-the same papers that
are always so bitterly opposed to a


'union of Church and State"-that
are always denouncing "political
preachers all the time urge
that politics has nothing to. do with
religion, and endeavOr moreover to
keep their own politics as far away
from all religion or religious or NOR
al sentiment as possible-the same
papers, too, that generally oppose
Temperance laws, OPPOSE universal
suffrage, &c.-the same papers, also,
i'm whose columns can always be
found some vulgar or profane story
or allusion showing their tastes and
sympathies. They "don't want to
mix up. politics and religion"-in
fact, they don't want to have any
thing to do with religion anyway.


For ourselves, we would like to see
the proposed Amendment incorpo-
rated in the Constitution, though we
cannot see that the mere act of put
ting it there would be of vital i'm
portance anyway. The fact is the
main thing-not the mere outward
profession only. And the fact that
we are already Christian nation, in
sympathies at least if not in practice,
is already shown in various ways,
even without the proposed Amend
ment. For example, notice the an
nual Presidential and GubernatOrial
Thanksgiving Proclamations. If one
should ask What good would the pro-
posed Amendment actually accom-
plish? it might be difficult to give
precise answer to the question. But
it would be an outward and official
Confession of Faith, in addition to
everything of that nature already
done; and while we cannot think the
movement to this end of such vital
importance as some consider it, yet
we would be the last to oppose it
or any other reasonable movement
whose tendency SO far as it went
would be to aid the advancement of
the Christian religion.

of the Davenport Gazette, was men,
Der of the Committee on Business
and of the one on Resolutions. The
Resolutions unanimously adopted BY
the Convention recite the circum-
stances of the location of the Capital
at Washinton, the evils and dangers
attending its continuance there, and
the reasons why it should be removed
to the Mississippi Valley. They also
declare that the Convention urges no
particular point as the site, but re-
quest Congress to appoint . Commits
sion to select one; declare the earnest
intention of the people to persevere
i'm the demand for removal until it is
granted; aud emphatically oppose
any further expenditures for the
erection of new or enlargement of
old Government buildings at Wash
ington. An Executive Committee,
consisting of one Delegate from each
State and Territory represented in
the Convention, was appointed, to
issue an Address to the people. 1t is
expected that another Convention
will be held, at Washington City,
soon after the Adjournment of the
next Session of Congress.


Hitherto, we are free to confess,
we have felt but little interest in this
MISUNDERSTANDING 1t too much
like the great Commercial Conven-
tions" which have lately been epi-
demic in the Missippi Valley. But
this begins to look like a mistaken
idea. From recent Investigations
into the subject, it is made apparent
that the selection of Washington City
as the site for the location of the Ma
tional Capital was but a compromise,
against the wish of majority con-
cerned; and the removal of the Cap
ital has heretofore been two or three
times seriously considered. In No
vember, 1914, Daniel Webster was
one Of the Congressman who voted
for removal; and then, as ut other
times, prominent men urged strong
arguments for such action.


The removal Of the Capital may
yet come; and if it does, we believe
Congress will yet hold its sessions in
or near the limits Of our own State.

Thousands of the street children of New
York. however. have neither parents nor any
reonIar nlaces of abode to which they can re-
sort at night. In summer they are careless
and happy, for clothing is of no consideration

door of tenement-house, on the erassess
spaces Of some city park, or amid the rub
bish of demolished building, they can roll
themselves away. and sleep the sleep Of the
wild ranger OF the cutters, to whom repletion
will bring no Nightmares, though his dreams
may be OF pumpkin-pies and other ambrosial
viands oil the remote possible. But in the in
clement nights of winter the sufferings of the
homeless little street Arabs are unspeakably
severe. Then they huddle themselves to-
gether in doorways, at the risk of being
spurned forth by some drunken lodger into
the petiag sleet, OF trodden upon by the late
and reckless comers 10 and fro. The great
iron boilers that stand out in front OF the
machine-shops, In some quarters of the city,
often afford lodgings for the night to these
shivering little sprouts of humanity. Others
may be seen emerging at early morning
from the weather-beaten stalls that cling to
the foot of some drowsy old market-building.
To-day it is Indian summer. The sun shines
genially through the warm November haze,
and here, in desolate park of the eastern
district OF the city many groups of small
street children are seen at play. They are as
cheerful as crickets, and as shrill. Several of
the nights just passed away have been bitter
ly cold, and we have had ice on the pools in
the bleak morning.


Many of the children-as | am informed
by a policeman-have passed these bitter
nights in such places as l have just mention
ed; but they have forgotten all their cars
now in the glad sunshine, and it is quite
likely that not one of them gives thought
as to how or where he is to lay down his un-
kempt head tonight. Here is one who is
wonder to contemplate, and he may be taken
as fair specimen of his kind. He processes
ignorance with regard to his age, but is adroit
at catching copper coins that are jerked to
him from distance of two or three yards.
Probably he is seven years old, but he is
stunted and dwarfsh for his age.


As for clothes-well, the newly emerged
chicken, with some pieces of the egg shell
sticking to it, is about as dressy as that small
Arab. A boiler was his bed last night. 1t
has been his bed every night since the hard
weather set in, and cold comfort must an
iron boiler be when off the boil. He has a
brother some years older than himself, and
this brother does something for his living,
and has coat,-a real coat with sleeves and
tail, and possibly a button or two with
which to loop it close, and he shares it with
