AAl ANA probably the first
FI XHAW III state which was
III I9f created In the world
ES9&@A by a written consd-
NN@ZZI tuition. 1t was really
an offshoot from
Massachusetts, for in 1886 there was
dissatisfaction over the form Of gov
eminent among the Puritans in Cam
bridge, WATERFOWL and Dorchester,
the three towns surrounding Boston.
A large part OF these three towns,
therefore, decided to journey to the
Connecticut valley, as they had heard
that there was to be found excellent
farm land, and the Dutch from New
Netherlands had been forced out the
previous year by the erection by the
English of a fort at SaybrOok at the
mouth Of the river. The Cambridge
people, under the leadership Of their
pastor, Hooker, founded Hartford, the
Dorchester people settled Windsor,
and those from WATERFOWL established
Wethersfeld. For a few years they re-
manned a part of Massachusetts, but
early in 1889 the people Of these three
towns met and drew up a written con-
stitution and agreed TO govern them
selves. Meanwhile, in 1883, a large
company of colOnists under the leader
ship of John Davenport arrived from
England and settled the town Of New
Haven, later spreading to Milford and
Stamford. These two distinct colonies
were later united and took the name
of Connecticut from its principal river.
This is an Algonquin Indian name
meaning "long river" It became the
fifth state to join the Union when it
adopted the Constitution on January
9, 1873. 1t is sometimes called the
Land of Steady Habits, but is more
popularity known as the Nutmeg state
from the humorous accusation that
its peddlers were accustomed to palm
of wooden nutmegs to their Gus
toners The area Of Connecticut is
1895 square miles, the third smallest
of our states. It's population, however,
entities it to seven electoral votes for
President.

" amended. The adoption of a
longer and more cumbersome"
Constitution is not what the peo-
pie of Louisiana voted for, desire
or expect. 1t would prove in all
likelihood a costly disappoint-
ment, leading to another season
of tinkering and patching as its
Entertainments upon the legisla-
tive field were found to block
statutory enactments required
by changing conditions or for
correction of discovered mis-
takes.
If a miracle alone can avert the
adoption of a longer and more

threatens, let us all hope for the
miracle. There is still a saving
possibility, however, that the
calamity may be averted by the
common sense and good judg-
ment of the delegates who a few
weeks ago were practically all
pronouncing their opinions in
favor a short Constitution. The
food of ordinances good, bad,
Indifferent and foolish-may very
well have swept them off their
mental balance for the moment.
But when they take time out fol

largely represent a waste of theiI

Miracle Only if Convention Adopts
Short Constitution

The following is quoted from a
Baton Rouge dispatch published
in last Sundays Times-Picayune:
Unless a miracle happens the
new Constitution will be longer
and more cumbersome than the
antiquated instrument that the
convention was called to revise.
When the convention assem-
bled March l practically all of
the delegates were pronouncing
their views in favor of a short
constitution. After four weeks
of labor, with 1854 ordinances and
resolutions in the hopper, not one
of them will now admit that
there is the slightest chance for
q brief organic law, cast along
fundamental lines. !"
That is distinctly bad news,
The length and endorsements
of our present Constitution have
been counted among the grave
defects that necessiated the draf
ing of a new one. 1t had con
tinually to be tinkered and re
tinkered, patched and repatched
Throughout the campaign pre-
ceding the popular vote which
authorized the convention, tn
argument ran for a brief an,

would not have to be continuous

that the old Fort Dupont site overs

The property, which is now owned

BILE for the work " Mich the new well
fare bureau has under advisement for
relieving the sufferings OF former sol-
diers and sailors who are victims OF
shell shock and other neurotic deyel-
opmerits incident to the service. The
recent report of the Dawes commit

the methods now employed in treat

ice. Quiet and rest are the essentials
that medical science now strives TO
stress In treatment of these cases.
The Fort Dupont site, II is pointed
