coNNETIcuTs ELECTIONS

The purpose of the proposed constitu-
tionaI convention in Connecticut is to
secure representation in the legislature
based on population. The constitution
which was framed in 1918 provided that
each town as then constituted should
have at least one representative in the
lower branch of the legislature. Towns
incorporated before 1885 were granted
two representatives each, while it was
provided that towns newly established
should have but one representative.
Connecticut therefore is unique in that
the growth or decline of population in
particular sections of the state has
virtually no effect on the apportion-
ment of representation.
Of the 255 members which compose
the House of Representatives 225 are
sent by rural communities in the face
lation live in towns of more than 1000
each. The cities feel their representa-
ton is inadequate and they ask to
have the inequality remedied by the
adoption of the ordinary system of
representation based on population.
The legislature has sanctioned the
submission to the people of the ques-
ton of authorizing a convention to
draft a new constitution. The matter
will be voted upon at the town cleo
tons which will be held next week.
If the vote is in favor of the convention
the governor has the power to call it..
Each town will be entitled to one dele
gate. The constitution agreed upon by
the convention will be submitted to the
vote of the people at the election in the
following November. 1t is expected,
despite certain opposition, that the peo-
pie will decide for holding the conven-
ton. Party lines are not being drawn
If the convention is sanctioned by the
vote of the people the delegates will
meet on the first Wednesday of next
January.

JAMES 8 PARKER'S STORY


A meeting of the colored citizens was
held in Buffalo last week to take ac-
ton upon the part which James b.
Parker. a colored waiter, is alleged to
have taken in overpowering Leon Cool
gosz at the time of the assassina-
ZION of President Mckinley Parker
was present but declined to speak.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That it is the sense of the
colored citizens of Buffalo, n. Y, IN
mass meeting assembled, that they
very much regret the clash OF state
ment in respect to the reported act VI
heroism on the part of James g. Fdr-
ker. in that the Associated Press, as
moulder of public sentiment and as
herald of accepted facts. on the one
hand. reported said heroic act both IN
America and Europe, and that the su-
preme court, the arbiter OF Justlce' oln
the other hand, In its production "
evidence entirely eliminated sdiu
James B. Parker from the part ne Is
reported by the press to nave pla!eu
in the tragedy. Be it further
Resolved. That when the American
historian shall have written the mar
rative he may find himself able SO 10
reconcile the conflicting statements as
to award honor to whom honor Is uue'
The Buffalo Commercial in comment
ing upon the affair, says;
The resolutions passed by meeting
of colored citizens in the Vine street
Church in the matter OF the status VI
lanes B. Parker in the events In the
e Sent. btn, are
moderate in tone and very reasonable:
They simply regret the conflict OF
statement between the Associated
press and the Supreme Court-the hrst
making a hero of Parker, the second
eliminating" him. But those VINO 1eel
that Parker has not received the credlt
due him overlook the fact that the AS
ISOLATED Press mention OF Parker
came, through the local papers, from
Parker himself There was no other
witness of his deed. Here endeth the
Parker myth.
The Spy accepted as substantially
true, the report from Buffalo at the
time of the assassination. Parker's ac-
count was almost too vivid and
graphic to be accepted as true, 1t is
extremely unfortunate that the man
should have made statements that
seem to lack the least verification; that
the brilliant part he described himself
to have taken is not corroborated by
other witnesses.
There could hardly have been any
jealousy that would have prevented
Parker's story from being corroborated
had it been strictly true. 1t is case
of exaggeration, perhaps excusable in
a large degree on account of the ex-
element of the occasion; but what
spoils the whole favor of the story and
its great significance is Parker posing
as a hero and attempting to coin
money through his prominence in the
affair

TIE SUCCESSFUL LEE


The discussion as to the successful
life and as to the influence of college
education still continues. The bulk of
what is said in the controversy Is
more or less pointess for the reason
that the disputants fail to define what
they mean by a successful life. Some
one has gone to the trouble to gather
statistics showing what proportion of
college men is included in a published
list of men who for one reason or
another are deemed to be entitled to
mention. As might be expected in
such a list the power Of schooling is
manifest. Yet it is doubtful whether
the figures can serve any very good
purpose because they merely show
what everybody knew before
Formerly it was taught, and very
much the same teaching no doubt
continues in home and school. that the
successful life is the one that meets its
duties and performs them we'll Such

Certainly those, who in their own judg-
ment have performed their duties

The instance comes to mind Of a
man who possessed an exceptionally
good tenor voice, and very exceLent
taste in music. 1t was his ambition
to cultivate his voice. He believed
that could he do so. an enviable ca
reer awaited him. But he sacrificed
his ambition, because there were those
who were dependent upon him for
their immediate support He always
bore great burdens. With music he
did what he could For years he sang
in the country towns near his home,
gratuitously as a rule. Furthermore,
he taught the boys and girls of his
neighborhood to sing. He married and
reared family in comfort. Yet he
failed in that he did not realize his am
bition. But who would say his life was
a failure? Anyone embued with ethi-
cal understanding or with an under

people, would say it was highly sue
