FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CON.
vEkriON.

Illinois needs new constitution.
The Citizens Association OF Chicago,
In its forty-first annual report. has the
following to say on the subject, which
voices the sentiments of many good
citizens:
Greatly to our regret the General
Assembly failed TO submit to the peo-
pie OF the state the question OF hold
ing a constitutional convention. The
convention joint resolution introduced
by Senator Edward c. Curtis was
adopted by the Senate on March 18th
by an almost unanimous vote. But
when the matter came to vote In
the House On March 3lst. the vote on
the joint resolution was 90 In favor
and 81 opposed, with 20 members alb
sent or not voting. Thus the meas
ure failed by the narrow margin OF ten
votes to receive the 102 votes con-
stituting the two-thirds required BY
Law.

rAMPERlN0 WITH STREET
NAMES.

II Is good news that the III advised
persons who proposed to rename
Clark street Broadway" have de.
sisted in their attempt. Almost on
the eve Of the centennial year Of iii.
nois' statehood II was proposed to
eliminate from one Of our leading
thoroughfares the name Of the man
but for whom Illinois would have re.
NAMED the possession Of an alien
power at least generation longer.
George Rogers Clark Is one Of the
nations real heroes. As soldier, ex.
plorer, and administrator he ranks
with the greatest Of our men. II may
be no honor to his memory to name
after him q street which has its mean
aspects. but until the city Is ready
to do him finer justice the name Of
the street should not be changed:
particularly so when the substitute Is
that borrowed from thoroughfare Of
another city.
Another example OF this sn0bbish.
ness was shown when under pressure
the south park commission discarded
drive" Bond avenue, when II was
first laid out by the village Of Hyde
Park, was the first street west Of the
lake. II was named for Shadrack
Bond, the first governor Of Illinois.
The next street west was named for
Edwin Coles, the second governor, and
successive streets were also named
for the governors of the state. The
continuity is now broken. and nothing
has been gained but confusion, for
two streets west of South Shore drive
Is South Shore avenue.
There recently has been large re.
vision in street nomenclature. It was
accomplished scientifically, and It re-
duced confusion of sound to the min.
imum. There should be no further
changes for many years.-Chicago

first ran for congress he went to make
a speech In county that was mostly
Democratic. Langley had never been

things he did not know was that the
county was noted for Its almost com.
