THAT ELUSIVE SUBSTANCE, GLOOM

Intimation comes from the discerning
reporters that on the sociological ex-
cursion just ended the colonel did not
find the lives of the toilers "of IN
relieved and unbroken gloom How
could he? Were gloom and Colonel
Roosevelt ever in one and the same place
at the same time? Gloom took its flight
from the coal regions when the 1ncog-
nito excursion, with its correspondents,
descended upon them and found its dis
guise penetrated by the perspicacious OBJ
jects of its inquiry. A mother Of seven
teen was inspired with renewed zeal to
make it an even twenty. The sick rose
from their beds. The simple life wore an
unaccustomed radiance. The whole re-
gion smiled like a lot of insurgents
Just leaving Sycamore Hill.
The colonel as q sociologist took his
atmosphere with him. A personality
which in a subtle way reached and az
fected whole nation did not fail to
reach and affect a small region. Before
he set out upon the sociological inquiry
the colonel remarked that its purposes
would be better achieved If the visit
were unheralded. They would have been
still better accomplished. perhaps, If the
colonel could also have Invested himself
of the magnetism, the Astounding vitality
the sheer JOY Of living that his pres
ence exudes. The suppression Of his
name in the interests Of science proved
impossible How much more so the sup
preston Of himself! That cant phrase,
''the interests Of science" however. raises
doubts Who shall say his very human
way does not come as near to the truth
as the impersonal way Of the scientific
investigator. who imports his gloom with
him, sIcklied DER as he is with the pale
cast of SociolOcT2

THE END OF THE GERRYMANDER

THE END OF THE GERRTMANDER
Just before Congress adjourned the
House Committee on Elections, No 2,
reported a resolution unseating Repre-
sentative from Virginia on the ground
that his election was due to a gerry
mander in fragrant violation of the pro-
visions of the federal apportionment act
of 1901. In order to make the 9Th Vir-
ginia District more safely Democratic.
the General Assembly shifted one county
to an adjoining district, although the
district thus enlarged had already a
larger population than the 9Th District
Gerrymandering is vice inherited
from times when partisanship was IN
tense and more INSCRIPTIONS. Fortu-
nateIy, scandalous instances of 1t are be-
coming rare, for both the public and the
courts frown on appointments which dc
a deliberate injustice. An ideal d1str1-
button of political representation is sell
dom. perhaps never realized, but it is
due to Rhode Island, where extreme in
equality in representation has hitherto
been the rule, to say that the plan for
dividing the state into legislative dis
tricts lust submitted to the joint Jul
dietary Committee of the General AS
sembly is a close approximation to abso'
lutte equity. Rhode Island has constl-
tuition which, like New York's, assures
minimum representation of one seat In
the lower branch Of the legislature to
each political unit without regard to
Dopulation. and distributes the remain
der of the seats according to numbers
The division in Rhode Island was made

WAS unanimous. and its work seems to
have been done with an exemplary
avoidance of party bias. The commits
