Since the primary of last month, when the women and the prohibi- tionists and the workingmen scored such a signal victory for Senator Trinkle over Mr. Tucker, the ele- ments have been given full credit for the victory which came to them. Senator Mapp was the champion of the same principles and policies as carried Senator Trinkle to victory, being a little stronger in his prohibi- tion principles than Senator Trinkle. So. with these same lines holding. there would be considerable weight .behind Senator Mapp if he did enter. Will Begin Next Week. Thursday of next week has been chosen by Senator Trinkle as the date for the formal opening of his ca: paign for governor, speaking at Gi iax, Grayson county, one of the popu- lous mountain sections.

May Compromise Merger Plan. Conference between the members of Xhe boards of visitors of the Medical Tollege of Virginia and the Univer- ity of Virginia has been fixed for October 4, when an effort will be jmade to reach an agreement on the Feport of the medical commission to merge the medical sahools of the $tate by transferring the medica de- partment of the University of Vir the city democratic committee. The committee thus follows the lead of | the state committee and will accord- | ingly increase its membership from fourteen to eighteen members, in- structions having been given to the) advisory committee to select two women members from each city ward. The advisory committee will cease to function after naming these committee women. Because of the precedent set by the state committee the city democrats feel safe in nam- ing women as members of their com- mittee, though there is no legal au- thority as yet for so doing.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company in May sold the tax- icab concession at the depot to a local Because of the great number of elop- ing couples that come here from Penn- sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, the taxicab men have keen competition, and passengers alighting from trains complain of the annoyance to which they are subjected, many as fifty taxicab men being massed at the sta tion. Clashes and fisticuffs have re. sulted among them in their eagerness to obtain fares. ——— MISS GAIL LAUGHLIN.

PLAN HOPEWELL SCHOOLS Aldermen Hear Reports on Cost of Maintenance Coming Winter. Special Dispateh to The Star. :{ HOPEWELL, Va., September 17.— “The board of aldermen’s meeting this ‘week was taken up mainly with iscussion of the maintenance of local chools during the coming semester and Superintendent of Schools R. K. ;Hoke, who attended the meeting, gave _estimates on the costs of operatin the schools with an enlarged curric: ‘lum. It was estimated that the cost of the schools to the city would be over $1.000 a month, and that slightly larger sum would have to be paid by the county. According to Mr. Hoke, many new “courses will be Instituted in the schools this year. including manu: _training and business courses, and these additions will add somewhat to the expense of the schools. Owing to the fact that more people live in the villages surrounding Hope- well than in the corporate limits of the city itself, the county will be called on to pay the major part of the expense of operating the schools. All schools in Hopewell and vicinity opened Thursday, September 15. CIVIL SERVICE OPENINGS. TFxaminations Announced for Many Different Positions.

It is the oldest of writtén constitutions. It has serv- ed as a model for many nations, both in_the old world and in the new.” While there had been a previous convention of delegates from several states, who had assembled in 1786 at An- napolis to consider the regulation of trade. Virginia taking the lead for a con- vention to amend the faulty articles of confederation, the convention of 1787, which framed the present Con- stitution of the United BStates, was first guggeated by a private letter of Alexander Hamilton in 1780. The day appointed for the meeting of this convention, May 14, 1787, only a small number of the delegates had arrived in Philadelphia. The delib- erations did not commence until May 25, when there were present twenty- nine members, representing nine state Others soon came in, until ;lh. ‘whole number amounted to fifty- ve. Never, perhaps, in all history, had any body of men combined for so great a purpose—to form a consti- tution, which was to rule so great a people, which developed into a sister- hood of imperial republics on this eus:lnent. ptember 17, 1787, the final de- bate closed and the last amendment was held for the grand jury in $5,000 | was adopted.

J., has been assigned to the command of Camp Knox, K. and Mason of Virginia and Gerry of Massachusetts. This greatest instrument, the palla- dium of our country's national ex- istence, was submitted to the orig- inal thirteen states. Not until the summer of 1788 was the ratification of even nine states obtained, begin- ning with Delaware. Of the thir- teen original states, Rhode Island was the last to accept the Constitution, which she did in May, 1790. George Washington presided over the deliberations of this convention and was, therefore, the first member to sign the instrument when finished. He said, holding the pen in his hand, after a short pause: “Should the states reject this excellent Constitu- tion, the probability is that an op- portunity will never again be offered to council another in peace—the next will be drawn in blood.” i - Dr. Benjamin Franklin was known | as the master of the convention. Had | it not been for his timely and healing wisdom, the convention would have probably ended in the breaking up of | the body. Senator Lodge, in his very learne address on the history of this great instrument, at Raleigh, some years | ago, said et us glance over the| list of delegates to thim constitu- tional convention. I find, to begin with, that their average age was | forty-three years, ranging from Franklin, who was eighty-one, to, John F. Mercer of Virginia, who was twenty-eight. But when I looked toi | I T see who were the most active forces in that convention, I found that the New Jersey plan_was brought for- ward by William Patterson, who was | forty-two; that the Virginia plan Wau’ proposed by Edmund Randolph, who was thirty-five, while Charles Pinck- ney of South Carolina, whose plans played a large part in the making of the Constitution, was only twenty- nine years old.
