In Kansas City they are debating the question whether a man who is elected to represent a certain part of the city in the council is in duty bound to follow the expressed wishes of a majority of the voters of the ward that elected him when the plan proposed is, in his opinion, bad policy for the whole city. In Kansas City there is a councilman in the Seventh ward by the name of Simonds. lhe Seventh cast 2,770 votes at the last election. The petition asking his as sent to a proposed park contains the names of 2.2j0 of his constituents and recites that only sixty of these asked for their signature refused. But Mr Simonds will not vote for the park and he gives good reasons for refus ing. The strongest is that the pro posed location is miles away from workmen's homes, among the resi dences of the very rich who wish to surround themselves at the expense of the city with beautiful grounds in which their children, with their nurses, may take the air. Then the price of the grounds is 8603,000, twice what an individual would be asked for it. There are other strong objec tions but the main reason for his re fusal to vote the way his constituents want him to, is that it is a rich man's plan to sell real estate at an over-valuation, and rich men's plantosurround their homes with parks of English vastness and culture. Mr. Simonds says that if it is desired to makcpleas ancc grounds for the working eople it would he advisable to put them where a working man and his fam ily can get at them at an ex penditure of less than fifty cents and he proposes little flowered squares in those jiortions of the city where tall tenements hold thousands of people who can not spend ten cents for a reach of sky, acres of grass and trees filled with birds. Little parks, let down into the midst of the dirt and squalor, where the thin, heavy-headed children and discouraged mothers might play and rest, would be a sani tary measure worth spending 82,000, 000 for. As to the other measure Mr. Simonds says: -Twill frankly say I can't do it. and I- don't believe it is my duty to do it. It doesn't matter whether the majority or minority want it, it is so agaitift good public policy and the principles of good government that I would feel that I had failed in the performance of a public duty if 1 did not cast my vote and use my influence against it.'' It is The Covmek's opinion after reading Mr. Simond's letter that he is right and that the names on the Ietition were secured by those who were interested either in selling the land or who rpsidc in the neighbor hood of the proposed park. Never theless it requires an honest man and a brave one to disregard the ietition of those who elected him. He must hold honor dearer than preferment and ig nore the danger of political extinction. He is not a demagogue. He is not a coward and he has that physiological feature a back-bone, oncesocommun a possession of mankind but now un happily becoming extinct and es lecially rare in Lincoln.
