OF AN AMERICAN STATE
on their part on election days. It was plain from these that some portion of the community at least had but a very in- definite idea as to what a Constitution was or should be. As the wig makers of Nantes had applied in force to the States General, a hundred years earlier, to limit the number of apprentices who might engage in their useful occupation, so the representatives of many interests, both large and small, appealed to these delegates to make sure, once and for all, that all were provided at first hand with as much law of the fundamental kind as they could possibly have use for.
The Convention had not proceeded far when it became apparent that some of its members also had some very trouble- some views as to what a Constitution should be. Could they have had their way it would have comprised a full code of statutes, many of them impracticable, inoperative, and unrepealable or amendable except by vote of the people. It took time, patience and hard work, principally in the Com- mittees, to eliminate all these crude and impracticable theories. The work was also hindered and embarrassed to some extent by a numerous lobby representing various inter- ests, but it was in time finally and satisfactorily accomplished.
The Convention sat fifty-two days, Sundays included,- though no sessions were held on Sundays,-and concluded its work. The Constitution was published in full in most of the newspapers of the territory, and on October Ist, 1889, the people, by a satisfactory majority, ratified and approved it.
Two articles were submitted separately, one providing for female suffrage, and the other for prohibition, but both were defeated. The location of the Capital was also voted upon as a separate issue, the cities competing being Olympia, Ellensburg, North Yakima and Vancouver, and Olympia won by a practically decisive vote.

THE RISE AND PROGRESS
In due course the Constitution, as adopted by the people, was approved by Congress, and President Harrison issued his proclamation announcing that fact. November 11th, 1889 was fixed upon as the day when the territorial should give place to the new state government, and on that day the state officers and members of the legislature who had been chosen on the day that the Constitution was voted upon, and a large number of citizens, including many of the oldest living settlers, assembled at the Capital. A procession was formed and marched to the building which had been erected in Stevens' time, and which had so narrowly escaped destruc- tion by fire in that of Gholson, and there the old order of things passed away and the new began. Governor Miles C. Moore, last of the territorial executives, in a graceful valedictory address, which was much complimented by the newspapers at the time, turned the government over to Gover- nor Ferry, who had been one of his predecessors as governor of the territory, and was now to be the first governor of the state. The other state officers took their oaths of office, the first legislature organized and began its session.
It was just a hundred and one years, and about a hundred days, since Gray and Kendrick had first displayed the flag of the Union, which was not yet a Union, off the Coast of Oregon, and forty-four years since Simmons, Kindred, Mc- Allister and their party had fixed their homes at Tumwater, almost within sight of the scene of these ceremonies. The wilderness of those days had disappeared, and now a new state was launched, to take its place as number 42 in the fleet of the Union, and hold it proudly forever.
