a maudlin conception of wrongs vastly
exaggerated and in nine cases out of ton
where they do exist without responsibil-

Tho Tost does not assume to bo author-

It can with duo modesty In the premise
assume to be bolter futhorlty upon those
points ot sociological controversy than
hysterical women In Boiton or hollor
than thou aecttonallats of the Hast who
never by word or act encouraged the negr <
to worthy mission nor paid him a full

of these lachrymose females or self
righteous custodians of negro destiny can
point to e single Instance In the South
wherein the negro who has sought by
Industry and attention to his own affairs
to advance his malaria and social Inter-
ests has been rotnrded by his whlto
neighbor On the contrary the whlto
neighbor hss encouraged and assisted him
Whenever tho negro has glvon energy
Intelligence and purposo to his labor to
the end that he has acquired his homo his
farm his shop and has established him-
self as a good citizen mayhap with money
In tho bank or good credit In his com-
munity substantial ovldences of his pro
grosslvo thrift he has been pointed out
with pride by his white neighbors nnd
held up as an examplo for the emulation
of his raco
No man knows this better than Dookei

more clearness than be that tho negros
emancipation from the conditions of care-
lessness lack of deflnlto aim Idleness
and discontent thnt are driving hlra Into

If there Is anything In the proposed
amendments to tha constitution that Is not
proper subject for lcglslatlvo treatment
no one has been abl to point It out if tho
constitution needs Important amendments
then the constitution us It exists Is In-
adequate to meet demands and deserves to
bo set aside wjth a new one Most tncu
agree that our Rtats constitution Instcurt
of presenting tbo fundamentals alone nec-
essary of definition In organic law Is a
patchwork of constitution and egsl code
tt Is eternally In th9 courts of last resort
for Interpretation and construction and
has proved In this respect aq Intermina-
ble source ot difficulty These facts havo
been obvious for a long time A few
year ago most members ot tho legislature
who Svero Induced to express an opinion
on tbo subject agreed to the necessity of
7a constitutional convention but questioned
the advlaablllly of provldlpc for it on the
ground that because populism as then so
strong t would ho dangerous from tho
democratic view1 to order tho coitv n

rsaion Is that It was merely prudential

stlttttlonat convention stuck Its head up
out of the Jungles of fright Into which it
had formerly retreated and marched
forth with a boldness that promised to
score victory
Resolutions were offered In the sonata
and house to provide for a constitutional
convention and members vied with each
other In ari ambitious scramble to see who
could get there fust Hut Just at this
juncture somebody let off a cannon Din
cracker and all tho boys Bcooted for caver
It was represented that the corporation
were behind the movement to effect the
constitutional convention when every man
in Toxns with brains enough to escape
conviction on a writ of do lunatlco on
qulrondo know that not one of the pat-
riots Urging these resolutions would get
any nearer a corporation ndvocato than
to bubonic plague
The Austin Statesman referring to the
stumbling block Imposed by our constitu-
tion to wholesome and economic progress
pertinently points out the fact that tho
tax commission which was composed ot
four of Texas ablest men has found It
standing like a wall In the way of much
legislation which would be of Incalculable
benefit to the people of thla State
Tho whole truth Is that the straight
fonvrd way to overreach the disadvan-
tages of the constitution is to overhaul It
in n constitutional convention to which
tho sovereign people shall send their
truest ablest and best representatives
and not through amendments tho legiti-
mate purposes of which can be accom-
plished by legislation enacted In response
to tho voters demands as mndo on their
fcoveral members of the lawmaking body

discussion Tho Toot reproduces tho fol-
lowing from tho Now York Journal
Th0 Twentieth century begins at midnight
of December 31 1900 thatIs to aay at the
beginning of the first day of 1901
The Twentieth century does not begin on
tbo first day of MOO In other words tho
Nineteenth century Is not finished until the
end of ho year MOO
We have tried In vain to make this tact
clear to soma of our lingo nrmy of Intelli-
gent renders Wo will try again and for tho
las time
You admit that you fc < ive not finished the
Nineteenth century until you havo finished
nineteen hundred years
Now then Instead of nlnotoen centuries let
us take nlnetnen dollare each dollar con-
sisting of 100 cents as each century consists
of 100 years Suppose a man owed you nlne
tnen dollars and pnld you one cent at a time
When would you consider the payment com
rito When would you have your ulneteon
dollars In jour pocket J
When ho paid you eighteen hundred and
nluelecnnlno conts you would not have your
nineteen dollars Hut when ho had paid you
nineteen hundred cents you would have your
nineteen dollars and your twentieth dollar
would begin with the payment of the next
cent
Similarly when Father Time has paid us
elchteen hundred and ninetynine years lie
lns not oald us nineteen centuries lie must
give Us one mora year namely the nineteen
hundredth year to make tho nineteen ceil
urles complete After he shall havo given ua
that year he will begin to pay us the twentieth
century and the first year of that century
will bo
nineteen hundred nnd one Just as tin
nrat cent of tho twentieth dollar Is tho nine
ttcn hundred nnd liret cent Tho nineteen
hundredth cent is only the last cent of the
nineteen dollars and the nlnoteen hundredth
venr only tho last jcar of the Nineteenth
rentury

The public nt large may not bo awaru
Of tho fact said a well known merchant
yesterday but there Is on the statuto
books of the Stato ot Texas a law making
the offenso of dog stealing punishable by
contlncmpnt in the penitentiary Of course
there are sonio dogs which aro better
stolen than otherwise but when a man
who llko myself is fond of hunting and
to whom a good dog Is halt the spjrt
loses a fine canine through the rascality
of some thief the hot so pretents au en
tlrely different color OAly a short time
ago I paid 100 for a thoroughbread point-
er and Inst Saturday ho was stolen I
have had several experiences ot this kind
lu the past and have never failed to re-
cover my property by advertising in The
Post hut this time It appears that the
thief would rather have the dog than the
reward offered ns three days of adver-
tising have failed to bring results and
know that every man woman and child
In thla portion of the rountry rends Tho
Post When ono considers the price paid
for standittdbrcd dogs nowadays It la not
hard to seo that the offense spoken of la n
very nerlous ono Indeed and If allowed M
go on will result In losses nearly as large
as would bo the theft of horses
Ah I sold before 1 am of the opinion
thai the law pertilnljg to tho offenss Is
not well known It It was surely we
would not hear of the theft of so many
lino dogs Thero Is an association of
sportsmen In Houston which was formed
for the purpose of protecutlng dog thieves
and I am hero to say that It will go hard
with the first ono caught The hunters of
tho city havo suffered for a lrng tlmo and
they aro now very anxious Indeed to make
an example of some one Dogs thoso
days form vory valuable property and
owners must do something to put n etop
to the thefts which nro becoming eo very
common At present at loant one man 13
nerving out n sentence In tho penitentiary
for the offenso and more will be convicted
if somo ono is not careful

That mnn Huntington Is a wonder
said a railroad man yesterday One ran
scarcely pick up a newspaper nowadays
without reading of some new enterprise
started by him Following close on his
return to New York from Newport News
where ho Inspected his shipyard comes
the announcement that ho will erect nn
armor plato factory in connection with the
yard A year ago he purchased twotvn
acres of ground adjoining the shipbuild-
ing plant for 100000 and it was then
prophesied that tho site was Intended for
an armor making plnnt This belief is
confirmed by the introduction of n bill In
tho Virginia legislature to authorize tho
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
company to issue preferred as well us
common stock and to authorize tho estab
lishment of nn armor plato factory
In the morning papers I beo that Mr
Huntington is quutod as denying the ru-
mor that the lending shipbuilding Inter-
ests ot the country were to be consolidated
nnd that he was to nccotne a party to tho
combine Personally I think ho will not
enter such uu agreement unless he Is as-
sured thut ho will fully control It In the
future lie has the situation practically
In his own hands now anyway nnd It Is
not probablo that ho would pool his issues
with others for the simple purposo of
gaining Btrcngthwhen he himself is the
btrongest factor
