AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.
There are now two amendments to
the national constitution pending ac-
ton by the states. One is the adop-
ton OF an amendment permitting an
income tax and the other is to permit
the election Of the United States n
tors by a direct vote of the people.
The first has had a~pprovals from
nearly enough states to carry it
nrough the other has just started. If
these amendments finally are carried.
there are chances that there will be
many more submitted. The folks OF
today need a good many things in a
constitution to protect their rights
and liberties that were not needed a
hundred years ago and they will like
the constitution much better If they
find hat it is susceptible to easy
observation-disclosures Mercury.

THE HAPPY MEDIUM.

You can't always judge a mans
wealth by he buys. For in
stance you will sometimes find that
the man with a fine team and buggy
or an automobile has money borrowed
from that ragged individual who
drives a spawned horse to a rig held
together with pieces of string and
fence wire. Some people are only
happy when denying themselves the
comforts OF life and saving a penny
while others could and will not live
that way. There is a happy medium
between the extremes of extravaganza
and the ways of the miser. The peo-
pie who get all there is out of life
and their incomes without indulging
in excuses are the real builders of
the community in which they live

JUDGE SAYS WOMkN'S
 ARREST WAS UNLAWFUL

Seeking to recover 31,e6o commission on a $33,000 real estate deal, C. H. Abbott of Stamford, appeared before Judge Burpee in the Superior court this morning to testify in his suit against Joseph F. Lee of Stamford. Abbott claims he secured at Lees re- quest 8 purchaser for the property. He demanded his 5 per cent commis- sion, but did not obtain 1t. Lee de- nies the allegations. The trial was still going on at press hour.
 Another matter heard in the super for court this morning was the dis. solving of body writ which had been served upon Coralie Briggs of Meadville, Pa. Judge Burpee declared the serving of the writ was unjusti- fable and unlawful. Miss Briggs said she came to Stamford from her home to testify in Q suit which was scheduled for trial in the superior court When the trial was postponed Miss Briggs body was attached and she was compelled to remain in Stam- ford since April 2.
 The supreme court heard arguments in. the suit of Dr. Robert J. Lynch of this city against Dr. B. w. White of this city. The action resulted from 8 dispute about the right of way to a strip of land in the rear of pr. Lynch's premises at COurtland and John streets. Dr. Lynch gained the decision in the superior court and Dr. Whites counsel appealed.
