lNEW HAMPSHIRE HOUSE
NAY BE DECREASED
People Will Have the Right to Say
Whether the Membership of
4o2 Shall Be Cut Down.

Concord. n. f., Feb 3.--New Hamp-
shire il in danger of losing its claim
to the distinction of having one Of
the largest representative legislative
bodies in the United States. In the hall
Of the House OF Representatives in the
capitol are 42l seats, and at session Of
the legislature the House has 402 mem
bers.
But the constitutional convention
now in session was voted to submit
to the people constitutional amend
ment whereby the membership of the
House would be materially reduced.
Under this plan representation of towns
and city wards would be based upon
the number Of votes cast at the cleo
ton preceding that at which the repre-
sentatiyes were chosen.
The trainers Of the present constitu-
tion of the Granite state endeavored
to give the people Of every mountain
and hill town voice in legislative
proceedings. They deereed that at ev-
cry session of the general court or
legislature. there should be one repre-.
sentative from each town. or ward of
600 or more population, with one addi-
tional representative for every addi-
tion Of 200 inhabitants, and that
towns with population less than 600
should send representative such pro-
portionate part Of the time as the num-
her of its inhabitants shall bear to
600" Some Of the towns proportion
ately" represented have less than 300
inhabitants and few have less than
200.
The city of Manchester. the largest
in the state, with population of about
5000, has IS Representatives.
The State House, which was built in
1916 10 1919, was enlarged in ls64-66
and again in 1909. The constitutional
convention delegates evidently saw the
need Of another enlargement looming
up in the near future.

Daily Talk
NOT LIFE-BUT LIVING.

Life does not hang heavy on the
one who is interested more in living
than in life merely.
sometimes think of death as some
thing that is worked TOWARD. For
we are all travelling toward it daily
whether we think of it or not. But
to think of it as something to be
feared or avoided (Which is impossi-
ble) is to burn up the precious years
that are ours.
Not life-but living is the real ad-
venture!
Thrills are things which come from
within-from what we see or expert
ence from without. It's living right
in the heart of happenings and being
a part of them which brings TO us our
sense of ownership over triumphs.
Few things are so constructed that
they can be saved. At least for any
length of time.
Even the great painting. the huge
structure, the most magnificent NOV
ing city will sometime crumble-and
be but a memory of what the past
has to say.
Mems iives-to the most active and
triumphant one-are all in the end
woven into an even story expressive
solely of what the age worked out,
Like the tiny bits of sand which make
up the extending coast, SO do the lives
of mortals make up the groundwork
of time.
We are important only as we serve
Not life-but living is our task
Let US keep right on getting up in
the morning, washing our faces and
eating our breakfasts-and going to
our several works-but let US not get
confused as to the end of it all. Let
us not measure or weigh our acts or
doings and then stand out and boast
their merit Let US rather do and
dare and dig-and then come tired to
our couches-to rest for another day!
Let US keep right at the job-of liv-
ing-and be glad and happy and help
ful-so that the last sleep shall be
filled with sweetened doors and our
long dream tinted with the rays of the
falling sun in it's setting.
Then we can say that we-lived!

The charges and counter charges
made by the opposing political par
ties regarding the raising of huge
campaign funds might cause one to
wonder what would happen If no
money were spent in an effort to elect
any particular candidate. Would the
result be different? Could not the
people be trusted to make a proper
choice while uninfluenced by any sort
Of propaganda? For the past half
century political campaigns have been
carried on in much the same manner
that is in evidence at this time.
Sometimes one party has won; then
the other, yet the country has pros
pered and the rights of its citizens,
in the main, have been protected. The
candidates usually are men whose
records are known or can be acquired
from the newspapers; the things for
which they stand can be found in the
party platforms and the letters of &C
ceptance. What more can the voter
need in order to form a proper Judg-
ment and cast his ballot intelIigentIy?
