''WORkING' THE NEWSPAPERS.

What is news and what is advertis- ing? Where shall the line be drawn? It's the great problem that confrontS newspaper publishers. not only in their own behalf but ill the interest of their readers. How to protect the adver- tiser Who pays for his advertising and head off his competitor who wants the. same advantages for nothing. and sill give the reader all the legitimate news he pays for-here. indeed, is a most bothersofne question.
 Notices CT concerts. dances and other entertainments given solely for the purpose of making money for an in- dividual or OrganiZa tiOn, would cer Iainly seem to come under she head of advertising that should be paid for. Sometimes, when public interest in the events is widespread. such advance notices may he regarded as news, but. for the most part, they serve the same purpose as bill posted on fence. only with more effect. They an- nouncc an attraction and call people attention to it's features. What else are they, then. than advertisements? you can for nothing and at the expense of some other person that rifles q publisher. as it does any enc else who is made the victim. It's against all the laws of the business world for one person to work for nothing for an other. and this applies 10 newspapers as well as any other commercial en- terprse-Aier,lpn Journal.

LEGALITY OF CONVENTION.
Constitutional Reform Movement IT
 held by Attorney Pardec.

held by Attorney Pardee.
 Secretary James F. Wheeler of the State Reform association has sent out printed copies of d brief by Attorney William s. Pardee on the legality of calling q constitutional convention by the general assembly. Abstracts from the brief are as follows:
 Our government, both in state and nation, is government under written constitutions which remain hard and fast until changed by q new writing, equally fixed and definite. Hence every American state has found it necessary from time to time to change it's written fundamental law. In details Of single matters these changes have been made by amendments to the existing cons1i- tuition; but when. by reason Of the changes in the location of population. or by reason of the growth of new Do- litical opinions. the several conStltu- tionS ceased to represent pubic Senu- ment. then each state found it neces- sary to call q constitutional cOnven- tion.
 "Such a convention tho general aS- sembly of Connecticut has power to call In passing d bill therefor the general assembly do not say that tho constitution shall hc changed in this way or in that; do not even say that any changes whatsoever shall he made. but only provide an orderly and peace able method of enabling the people to adopt or reject such changes as they may sec fit
 .'Such bill. for example. provides for the assembling of an able body of men elected from several towns. who shall meet and consult together and submit the result of their deliberations to the people for them to say whether they will have these results as thelr form of government. or whether they will remain under the present consti- tuition.
 "Such bill is law, and no more than law. It proceeds from the same power in the legislature. and is Of the same legal effect as law appointing a commission to revise the statutes of the state. Should the convention decide not to recommend new constitution. or the people reject that which 1t might recommend. the constitution remains as if the bill never had been pa ssed.
 .The burden and the duty. like the right of any change, however slight, III the constitution, rests wholly on the freemen of the state. Hence Dill pro viding for a constitutional convention is an ordinary act of legislation. and as such is fully within the legislative power of the general assembly.
 ..This is the law of Connecticut and of the land. .... ''But if the right in Connecticut is | undeniable, and yet can only be eX- ercised by virtue of law, then the general assembly has the right to pass 1 such law To hold otherwise would l be to deny, by virtue of constitution, l a right which the very constitution de 1 clares shall be undeniable. More, when 1t becomes apparent that majority of l the freemen desire to alter their form of government. then the refusal to pass such a law denies their guaranteed rights
