VIEWS OF ATTY GEN LIGHT ON CONNECTICUTS
 UNDEMOCRATIC AND UNCHRSTIAN CONSTITUTION

stitution for undem ocracy is in ef- feet a criticism of the constitution of the United States, which all students of constitutional forms recognize as Q reactio: ary instrument, following as it did the Declaration of indepen- deence. That the makers of the Fed eral constitution were afraid of the people plainly appears in the Madi- son notes, the only first hand report of the proceedings of the convention. But even this convention gave to the supreme court no express powers au- U. orizing it to annul laws as uncon- stitutional, and did refuse resolutions affirming such power to it, or to it in conjunction with certain portions of the executive branch of govern ment.
 The great insurgent movement now in progress in the United States pro- ceeds from the purpose of the peo- pie to make their government and their constitution more democratic. Well says Attorney General Light that democracy and Christianity are the same thing.''

THE MODERN MORALITY

Everybody" which is playing at Polls theatre this week. is in the classic form of the medieval Morality, the characters are nevertheless Tn modern dress and speak the vernacu- lar. The preachment is against vice in the good old way. The characters are called, after an ancient manner, Advice, Work, Honesty, Shirk, Pleas ure. Luck, Fortune and Everybody. The lesson of the preachment is that Work and Honesty are better for Ev- erybody than Shirk, Luck and Pleas ure. The novelty of the thing is de- lightful, all the more that the author has made his new Morality vividly interesting and of & quality that tightens the flores of the heart. In the interest of a more useful vaude- vile stage this appreciation is freely written.

THE CONSTABLE'S
 MEDICATION

The dangers of circumstantial evil dence are borne home to news paper readers daily. If a man loses hens, rigs an alarm connecting with his hen house. hears the alarm ring. and rushes sout into the midnight darkness to find an intruder among his hens the conclusion would seem warranted that the census of the hen house was about to be decreased. If the intruder should say, by way of explanation no more than, ''I am looking for father" the case would seem complete, hen roost at mid night on Saturday being ordinarily a most unlikely place to find ones pa ternal ancestor. Constable Leonard Kowalski, Jr, of neighboring Fair field, became involved in just such a predicament, but has given the most convincing facts to show that circum- stances did him serious injustice. The constable was In chickenyard at midnight, he was looking for fath- CT, and he was not stealing chickens. Truth is ever stranger than fiction.

THE UNSAFE PLACE


 Patriotic women, seeking to extend the legal rights of other women, ad- dressed an audience of men in Wall street recently, or tried to do So. They were missed, hooted and all but mob- bed. Wall street is not the abiding place of fair play, the home of chiv- airy, of the habitat of courtesy. It's business is with the lambs of the flock. It fleeces the helpless with the same eager spirit that it brings to the robbery of the strong. The savings of widows and orphans are no more sacred there than the pill ferings of bank presidents. These ladies picked the one place on Amer ican soil where American women are not safe in the presence of American men.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE
 AND POEM FOR A POEM

Kipling's poem, .sThe Female of the Species" has stirred up much discus sion in New Haven. Last week the Political Equality club held a meeting to discuss it. Now comes a poem in reply by Miss Francis J. Sterling of Seymour. It follows: FATHER, MOTHER or THE RACE. Ys may scoff and ye may palter.
 Take from woman, lend to man, Not one atom can ye alter
 Of the everlasting plan. Tn the dawning of creation,
 Earth was launched upon the void, Ages thence to be perfected.
 Ages hence to be destroyed. Then came man, s'In Gods own image''
 Grained and muscled; hands and feet Powers Of mind and powers of body,
 Upright, splendid, incomplete. Gave no thought to day or night time
 Slept and woke and ate at need, Noted not of sun or starlight,
 Thought no evil, had no creed. Knew not joy and knew not sorrow,
 Lonely walked the garden path, Planned not, rocked not of the morrow
 Moved to neither weep nor laugh. Till he woke to find the marvel,
 Woman sleeping by his side, God-created, like the lily,
 Eve, the first, the fairest bride. Only then did Adam waken,
 Leapt and ran upon his feet, Laughed and wept, with joy was shak-
 en.
 Knew himself at last. complete. | Sylvan streams were theirs to lave in,
 Primal forests theirs to rove, Rosy bowers for rest and haven,
 Theirs to live a1d theirs to love. Plucked and ate the fruit forbidden,
 Then, as now, the law ignored. All the race condemned to suffer, All the race to be restored. Talk ye not of slave" or master" Dripping speech" and "Cobra's bite'' Pause 'ere ye breed disaster
 Pause ere ye yourselves endict Talk no more of vain Delilahs, Spurious mushrooms of the fen, Drudge them not their little triumphs, Such will be, have ever been. Look ye-look ye to the future, Hand in hand and face to face, Lordly man, and stately woman, Father, mother of the Race. Frances J. Sterling. Seymour, Conn.

Every day in the year save one Is devoted to the defects oflhfe and work. Some 52 days in the year are s4t aside for the especial considera- ton of defects in human conduct. and the seeking of improvement and forgiveness. Thanksgiving Is the sin glo day in the calendar entirely de- voted to gratitude and optimism. It is . holiday that meets deep desire of the human heart. It has fought it's way to the state of a national ob- servance. In the beginning it was merely a New England festival. There came a time when the governors of the several states called it once a year by proclamation. Now 1t is call- ed for every state by the proclama- ton of the president. 1t is a feast day. Its bird is the turkey. and very properly. for the turkey is above all things an optimist and puffs it's chest and spreads its tail in the fashion of one who knows full well that this is the best of all possible worlds, as,
 
 indeed, at any given moment it is.
 The occasion for especial thanks Eiving tomorrow, will be that the world will then be at the very apex of it's progress. The world will be- come better all that day, and yet Friday morning win find it breaking all it's own records again.
 Joy may be unconfined because the world was never better and because ft win never be worse. the way Of cpeation being an upward spiral.

more victims than, war. The black death, cholera and small pox ragged in England as they do now in India,
 Such was the world the Puritans left and such the world they sought. But, in Connecticut, religious liberty did not come at once. The forefath- CTS sought to restrain the worship of others as their own had been restrain ed. Almost two centuries rolled away before religious equality under the law was established here.

 The railroad, the steam ship, the telephone. the telegraph, the auto- mobile and the flying machine are wonderful additions to the wealth of nations. These advantages have ar- rived within the memory of the liv- ing.

 Progressive revolution in Turkey, China a Republic, third of the United States under the forms of a pure Democracy! Surely the world does move.
 There never has been more reason for universal thanksgiving than there will be tomorrow Farmer readers over the Thanksgiving turkey may well be grateful, with a gratitude composed half of thankfulness, and half of determination to clean up. during the year to come, any odds and ends of public, private, or eco- homie disorder that cry for riddance.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-11-29

Attorney General John H. Light seems to have joined the ranks of constructive critics of the constitution under which Connecticut lives. In an address given in Springfield. Sum- day, he said:
 Democracy was not really the object which the framers of the constitution had in view, but rather the very thing which they wished to avoid. The fath% CTS recognized that the spirit of dem ocracy was abroad in the land. so that it would be absolutely necessary to confer at least the form of political power upon the people. Hence their efforts were directed to devising sys- tenn of government that would be pop ular enough not to excite general op- petition, and yet which would give the people as little as possible of the real surprising that the people know so lit- tie of the fundamental nature of their government.
 One could scarcely read reports of tl1e current discussion of the early part of the 18th century without realizing the truth of what Attorney General Light says.as1i The4 effort to check democracy would have been les successful, however, had not a larce portion of the people been anx- aous to get rid of the established re- ligion which had been woven and in- terwoven into the laws of the state. So anxious were men of all classes to obtain religious equality that they omitted to observe that the measure of political equality was reduced.
 Yet the constitution as it left the convention of 1918 was not so undem- ccratic as it has become by lapse of time. The town system was fair enough in its day. Few foresaw the enormous growth of cities, or perceiv- !. what gross inequalities of represen- tation would be caused.
 Neither were the great and undem- ocratic powers conferred upon the courts, which the judges have selz- ed with the lapse of years.
 The courts were made in precise terms subordinate to the legislative branch, which was given in express terms the right to fix their powers and Jurisdiction. The right to de- clare laws passed by the legislative branch unconstitutional was nowhere granted, and if it exists, except by usurpation, exists by mere statute.
