AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION
Abartira Efferti to Secnri Needed Obaigei
in Hebrnka' Orjaiio Law.
CARELESSNESS OF VOTERS PROVES FATAL
Klmple Kxpedlent Proposed to Adopt
Amendments by a Majority o(
the Votes Caat on Suck
Amendments.
FAIRBURT, Neb., Oct. 8. To the
Editor of The Bee: Twenty-seven years
ago a. constitutional convention was held
In the state of Nebraska, the result of
whose labors was the constitution under
which we are now living. At the time this
constitution was adopted the population of
the entire state was less than a quarter of
a million, whtle now over a million people
live within Its borders. The settlements
were mainly confined to the eastern one
sixth of the state, communication was diffi
cult, except along the main lines of the
I'nlon Pacific and Burlington Missouri
railroads. Comparatively few miles of rail
road existed and were In operation, whereas
now nearly 1.000 miles are operated within
the state. The telephone was not then In
use, the electric railroad was only a dream,
the packing Industry was non-existent in
the state and manufacturing was only in the
germ. Over a quarter of a century of time
nd a degree of achievement greater than
the time alone would warrant mark tho
change between the Nebraska of that day
and of this.
But with all the changing conditions of
the slat we have been bound and tram
meled in our snclal and governmental de
velopment by the .traitjacket of our 1875
constitution. For the most part an ad
mirable document. Its chief defect lies In
the lameness of the provisions providing
for Its amendment. Changing time brings
change conditions, and the fundamental
law should be rigid enough to be certain
and sure and yet elastic enough so that new
exigencies could be met by new provisions.
Provision for Amendment.
The portion of our constitution providing
for amendments thereto reads as follows:
"Article xv. Section I. Amendments
Either branch of the legislature may pro
pose amendments to this constitution, and
Things "Jo
L5Eio Best
Often Disagree With Us
Because wo overeat of them. Indl.
geatioa follows. But there'a a way to
escape such consequence. A dosa of
good dlgestant like Kodol will rellva yott
at once. Your stomach la (imply too
weak to digest what you eat. That all
iudigettioa ! Kodol digest the food
without the stomach's aid. Thut tho

4 certain oun (at pilo tad akla tioata.
If the same be agreed to by three-fifths of
the members elected to each house, such
proposed amendments shall be entered on
the Journals, with the yeas and nays, and
published once each week in at Jeast one
newspaper In each county where a news
paper is published for three months Im
mediately preceding the next election of
senators and representatives, at which elec
tion the same shall be submitted to the
electors for approval or rejection and if a
majority of the electors voting at such elec
tion adopt such amendments the same shall
become a part of this constitution. When
more than one amendment is submitted at
the same election they shall be so sub
mitted as to enable the electors to vote on
each amendment separately."
This provision reads fair enough, and if
the attention of the electors could be con
cent riled upon the proposed amendments
which are usually by far the most Important
matters submitted to their franchise at any
given election, much more ad than whether
Jones, Brown or Robertson is ejected to an
office then the theory of the .provision
would work out In practice. But in fact
this never happens, the clamor made by
parties and by candidates diverts the pitfcllc
mind from the more Important question of
a change In the constitution and, since a
large proportion of the voters voting at the
election never vote at all upon the pro
posed amendments, they are usually de
feated, not by active hostility, but by apathy
and neglect. The constitution is thus In
fact rigid and self-perpetuating.
The fatal provision in the section relating
to amendments Is that requiring the adop
tion to be by "a majority of the electors
voting at such election." If the law only
required "a majority of the electors voting
upon the proposition at such election," then
whenever a majority of the electors, who
cared encugh to think about the matter.
signified their assent an amendment could
be cade.
Kaperlence with Amendments.
The history of the tubmlraion of amend
ments to the constitution in this state has
been aa follows: The first amendment sub
mitted under the 1875 constitution was -In
1882, and provided for the extension of the
electoral franchise to women. Thia amend
ment failed to receive a majority pf those
voting upon the proposition, and was de
feated by a large majority.
In 1894 two amendments were submitted,
one relating to an Increase In term and
salary of legislators, and one to the crea
tion of a board of railway commissioners.
Tho amendment relating to the legislators
received a majority of $4,193 of those vot
ing on the proposition, while the other
proposition was defeated by a majority of
22. 11 of those voting thereupon. Since
47,105 more persons voted for governor at
this election than voted on the proposition,
both amendments were defeated.
On November 2. 188S. a proposed amend
ment was submitted increasing the days of
service of members of the legislature, for
which they should be paid, and increasing
their compensation. This amendment waa
declared lust by tho canvarslng boards, but
after the legislature met a recount waa
ordered by that body, and after the recount
was completed the ameodmeat waa de
clared carried. A certain amount of doubt
has always existed as to the correctness
of the recount, most people doubting that
the legislature could be mora nearly correct
than disinterested officers of the election.
It was too much like making a man judge
in hi own cause to look well.
Iu 1890 an amendment was submitted, to
gether with four others, to prohibit the
manufacture anf sale of Intoxlcatlug
liquors. This question waa much agitated
and diacubsed. The total vote caat on this
amendment was 194.010, while the total vote
at the same election for governor was
114. 972. Over 20,000 voter who voted at
the election were not interested enough in
the question to mark their ballots. In eplte
of the torrents of fervid eloquence which
had flowed all over the state for months In
discussing this question. All the proposed
amendment were defeated.
Neglect of Voter.
In 1892 two proposed amendments were
submitted, one "adding to the number of
executive officers," and one "permitting in
vestment of public school money in school
district bonds." On these propositions
about 95,000 votes were cast, while for gov
ernor, at the same election, 197,473 peraons
voted. Both amendments received a ma
jority of nearly 70,000 of the ballots cast
upon the propositions, but failed to carry
under the constitutional requirements.
Over 100,000 voters cast no ballots upon the
questions.
The legislature of 1895, believing that
radical amendment to the constitution was
required, submitted to vote at the election
in November, 1896, no lees than twelve
proposed amendments. These proposed
changes related mainly to changes In the
executive and Judicial departments in the
direction of providing tor additional Judges
amendment carries we can then submit to
the people, with some hope of adoption, the
necessary amendments to make out funda
mental law meet the requirements of this
and succeeding generations. New evils, as
they arise, may be met by new safeguards
in the constitution and the well-being of
tho state preserved. Such palpable evasions
of the spirit, though perhaps not of the
letter, of the constitution aa the present
system of "deputy commissioners" and
"secretaries of boards" could be swept away.
If new executive officers were needed they
might, if the people willed it, be called Into
being. The dignity of the supreme court
and its worth to the state might J in
creased by an addition of judges to Ita
number and a compensation fitting the po
sition. Questions relating to -the revenue,
to the government of cities of the metro
politan class and other changes now urged
by the best thought of the state might be
submitted to the people with some hope of
favorable action.
It should be the duty, then, of every voter
In the state to cast his vote at the approach
ing election, knowingly, either for or
against tho proposed amendment to the con.
and executive officers, and for increasing I atltutlon. It is Important that he vote In
Tavor of the amendment, hut It Is more
important that he vote upon the proposition
either for or against if he casts a ballot at
the coming election.
CHARLES B. LETTON.
the compensation of auch officers, while
others related to the government of large
cities, to trial by jury, to financial ques
tions and to submission of amendment.
The highest vote cast upon any of these
was upon the proposition to Increase the
number of judges of the supreme court, and
their terms of office, upon which 122,473
vote were cast, and which received a ma
jority of 46,685 of those voting upon the
proposition. At the same election 223.245
votes were cast for presidential electors,
and 217.765 for governor. Over 100,000
voters did not vote upon the amendments
and the propositions were defeated by rea- j
son or this ruiiure to vote.
Killed by Carelessness.
It will be noticed that sinro 1881 only
two electlous at which amendments could
be submitted have passed without an at
tempt being made to amend the constitu
tion. This resume shows that while- a few
of the proposed amendments which have
been submitted have failed to receive a
majority of the vote cast thereupon nearly
every one has been killed by the careless
ness of the average voter. Experience thus
has shown that it is well-nigh Impossible to
amend the constitution aa the provision for
amendment now atands. Realizing this fact.
the last legislature decided to submit to
the people of the state a proposed amend
ment dealing with the manner of making
amendments to the constitution and this
amendment will be voted upon at the com
ing election. The only change suggested
by the proposed amendment, from the pres
ent manner Is that in order to adopt a
proposed amendment it shall require "a
majority of the electors voting at such elec
tion on such proposed amendment," Instead
of as now, reqilrlng "a majority of tho
voters voting at such election." '
A Simple Kxpedlent.
The proposed change Is reasonable and
right. It should carry by a large majority,
and it is In accordance with the method
pursued in a majority of the states of the
union. If this amendment should fall to
carry we will be left as we now are, trying
to adjust by questionable means twentieth
century conditions in a full developed state
to the limitations of constitution well
fitted for us when wa were in swaddling
clothes over a quarter of a century ago.

About 1,000 civil war veterans from Ne

With Commander Steele and Junior Com
mander Kenny of Falrbury and Blair it
spectively, at the head of tho column, over
600 strong heroes of 1861-65 will depart
from Chicago at noon today over the Wa
bash for the national capital to respond
once more to the bugle call and meet and
mingle with their comrades from other
states around the old campflres.
The official Nebraska train, which It the
Rock Island, from Omaha to Chicago and
from there to Washington, the Wabash,
left Omaha at 8 o'clock last night, com
posed of ten cart. The Burlington wlU tend
out one special car from this city and an
other from Superior; the Northwestern hat
already sent four specials filled with voter
ans and the Illinois Central, two, one oc
cupied exclusively by Nebraskans and tho
other by Oregonians. The Burlington, 1111

its special Nebraska train the Rock Island

very large delegation wat taken aboard
and by the time tho train reached the state
lino on the east It waa well filled. These,
with the Nebraskans carried by the Rock

Chicago.
The Wabash special from Chicago will

of fifteen cars or more if found necessary.
comprising tourists and Pullman sleepers
and every other tort of car that goct to
make up a modern and comfortable train
Thia special will be under the personal
supervision of Harry E. Moorea, general
agent of the Wabash in this city. Mr.
Moo res went to Chicago with tho Rock

who take the Wabash until they have re

Thlt train will go by way of Niagara
Falls, where a very brief stop will be made
Sunday; Buffalo, Harriaburg, Baltimor and
other Interesting points, making such stops
at the schedule will permit. It it billed

National Irrigation Congress.
Railroads are exercising great interest in
the convention of the National Irrigation
congress, which begins In Denver Monday.
The Union Pacific will have personsl repre
sentatives there, one of which will be C. E.
Wantland, who happens to be chairman of
the national executive committee of the
congress. Oeorge McDonaugh, Union Pa
cific immigration agent, also will be present
for the company.
The Union Pacific's special Interest In
this congress and Its unusual teal In Irri
gation in general just now, it based upon
the proposed reservoirs, five of which are
to be established throughout the west, the
first one to be located in the South Platte
valley, near Sterling, Colo., to bo knows
as the Pawnee Pass reservoir. Thlt It to
be the test reservoir and the location has
been selected because of its proximity and
accessibility to the east, from which many
of tho most ardent ttudentt of thlt proposi
tion will come. . v
Pawnee past Is regarded as one of the
most natural reservoirs In the arid west,
having a computed water storage capacity
of 12,444,903,608 cubic feet, forming a huge
lake covering 6,896 acres. The portione at
Weld, Morgaa, Logan and Sedgwick coun
ties skirt the Union Pacific throughout the
South Platte valley in northwestern Colo
rado. To fill thlt vast basin a canal will
be run from the South Platte river at
some point sixty or seventy miles from
Sterling, having a capacity of 1,500 to
2,500 cubic feet of water a second. The
area to .be watered Is one of the richest
In the state. The country Is generally
level and will be easily accessible to water.
About 1,000,000 acres of fertile agricultural
land will thut be added to the tillable
acreage of tho ttate by the government
and private irrigation facilities.
f Hamper Trafuei Car Famine.
Local railroad men pronounce thlt one
of tho best traffic years of their experi
ence. Both passenger and freight business
haa been sustained at a very high stand
ard from, tho first of the year. Increas
ing as time progressed, tho passenger
travel reaching a climax during the heavy
excursion season, with the crisis to come
In the freight business, when the bulk
of the vast grain crops are to be moved.
The most conservative men in the busi
ness unhesitatingly admit that a freight
car famine will be experienced despite tho
strenuous efforts being made to avoid it.
The roadt simply have not the cart avail
able and cannot get them In time," said
an official, "but, nevertheless, it will be a
rich financial harvest for the roads."
Dickinson Is Still Silent.
General Manager Dickinson of the Union
Pacific still declines to discuss the report of
hit resignation and acceptance of the prop
osition to become general manager of Ar
thur E. Stilwell'a line from Kantaa City io
Port Stllwell on tho Gulf of California. An
other effort wa made yesterday to elicit
from Dickinson either a denial or confirma
tion of the report, but he refused to be In
terviewed. The matter is ttlll on of groat
Interest among railroad men, with whom
the general Impression teems to be that
Mr. Dickinson haa received and Is consid
ering but has not yet accepted the Stllwell
offer. ' .
Moving Midway Shows.
The Wabash will run a special train from
Omaha south at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon
for the accommodation of the Midway show
men who have been in the city during the
carnival. Some will be taken to St. Louis,
some to Atlanta, Ga., and others to Mat
toon, 111.
Tom Hughes, traveling passenger agent of
the Missouri Pacific, has gone to Falls City
to arrange for a special transportation of a
Midway outfit which has been showing at
the street fair in that city. It will be re
moved to St. Louis over the Missouri Pa
cific.

COiifOpllS
Blood poison
Is the name sometimes given to what is
generally known as the BAD DISEASE.. It
is not confined to dens of vice or the lower
classes. The purest and best people are
sometimes infected with this awful
malady through handling the cloth
ing, drinking from the same vessels,
usin? the same toilet articles, or
otherwise coming in contact with persons who have contracted it.
It begins usually with a little blister or sore, then swelling in the groins, a
rea eruption oreans out on tne body,
sores and ulcers appear in the mouth,
the throat becomes ulcerated, the hair,
eye brows and lashes fall out and, as
the blood becomes more contaminated,
copper colored splotches and pustular
eruptions and sores appear upon differ
ent parts of the body, and the poison
even destroys the bones.
S. S. S. is a Specific for this loathsome disease, and cures it even in the
worst forms. It is a perfect antidote for the powerful virus that pollutes the
