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.
