in very many cases never heard OF
until after the nominations are
made. Even if the voter does per-
sonally know his l'arty's local can
didate to be honest and wise before
the election, he cannot possibly
search the mans heart and know
what he vii, become before his
term of office expires. This being
true AZ to the voters ignorance Of
the hundreds of candidates nom
mated for legislative officers?
But the proposed law is always
printed, and it is the voters own
fault if he does not know what it
is and it's probable effect.
1t is true, as said by the Port
land Oregonian, Though the paper
is opposed to the Initiative and
Referendum), commenting on the
small vote on recent proposed con-
stitutional amendments in Taxes
and Tennessee, that those ''who
will not inform themselves on the
merits of the desired changes,
either neglect to vote at all or vote
NO to be on the safe side"
In Zurich, Switzerland all voters
are required by the law to vote,
and thousands of blank ballots are
cast at every election, only because
some voters will not take the
trouble to inform themselves.
Hence only those interested vote.
They are the best posted, the
ones most fitted to decide.
Objection 4. The people are
not interested and will not come
out to vote, but if they do they
will follow their party leaders.
Answer. In support OF this is
offered the experience of Texas and
Tennessee and other special elect
ions held to decide single
question. But all such votes
should be had at regular elections,
not only to avoid useless expense.
California's experience in 1892
shows that the people re interested
and this was most abundantly
confirmed at the Presidential elect.

posed constitutional amendments

Nebraska, Colorado, Montana,
Idaho, California and Minnesota.

In our opinion the democratic
politicians of this country are OPP
posed to Bryan and he will not get
the nomination for the presidency if
they can beat him out it. He is
not tine man they want. The rank
and file of the party will accept
him, but professional politicians Of
the democratic party, big and lit
tie, do not want him, they want a
man with at least alittle love for
glittering gold and one that Wall
street will contribute something to
in the campaign. You remember
Samuel j. Tildon in 1876 wrote to
Dashmer, the Chairman of the Dem
national committe as follows:
"Make the platform National
Democratic) as near like the Re-
publican platform as possible, So
the money power will contribute as
much to our success as theirs"
Pears to US that the politicians
of that party are in the same boat
now as then, at least, it looks that
way, now don't it?

there is any tendency in your family toward
consumption, it will keep that dread de-
stroyer away. Even after consumption has
almost gained foothold in the form of
lingering cough, bronchitis, or bleeding at

pared by DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y.

his wide experience and varied practice.

DIRECT LEGISLATION.
Main Objections to the System
Carefully Considered.

Inc amendments were described
on the ballot only by the Senate
or House number, without any
statement or explanation whatever
OF their purpose or effect. There
fore it required a very considerable
degree of education and studying
for voter to express his opinion
on all these nine propositions.
The total vote on Presidential
electors was 259, 900 while the vote
on these propositions vary from
10000 to POI 900. The questions
were all voted on and the votes
counted, without any complaint Of
extra labor, expense or delay in
voting or counting, and it does not
take longer to communicate with
Washington from the remotest pre-
cinct in the United States than it
does with Sacramento from many
OF the precincts OF California.
The railroad, telegraph, postal
service and telephone have made
this very small country. In nine
Presidential elections out of ten the
result is known all over the United
States within 4S hours after the
polls close.
The vote by ballot HIS made it
as easy to receive and count the
votes of 100000 men as of 2O,O0C
requiring only proportionately
more polling places and officers.
The voters can and do select the
names of their candidates from
among II to 200 names that are
printed on the ballot. Surely they
can mark their vote on the same
ballot for or against proposed laws
Objection 2. The votes to elect
a law can be bought as easily as
the votes to elect candidate or a
a party ticket.
Answer. This certainly is mis-
take. A successful candidate very
seldom receives so many as one
half the votes cast while proposed
laws are nearly always elected or
defeated by large majorities.
Very few professional vote
buyers claim that more than one
tenth of the voters can be bought
at total expense of apout $40 a
vote, but the party that gets all or
most of these always elects its can
didates. But the change of that
number on vote for or against IA
proposed law would very seldom
change the result. The Swiss have
had only one close vote on pro-
posed national law in twenty.
three years. Nearly always we
have three or more men running
for every Office so that a man may
be elected by barely more than one
third of those voting; but there are
only two ways to vote on pro-
posed law-for or against-there-
fore it must always be elected or
defeated by more than one-half the
votes cast.
Objection 3. The people are too
ignorant to vote on the law.
Answer. The man who makes
this objection is always speaking
of the other people, not of himself.
Experience proves that it is not
true of those who will vote. As a
rule only those who understand
the question will vo.e while those
who are ignorant will always vote
no if they vote at all. 1t is hardly
possible that voter can remain so
ignorant of the good and bad fea-
lures of proposed law, as he must
necessarily be Of the good and bad
traits of man he never sees, and

WALKS OUT wIrH DOGS.
Woman Paid to Give Exercise to Ca
nine Pets.

To give exercise to the fashionable
CANNES of New York's "4O0'' is the
newest avocation to fall to the lot of
women. Miss Pierce has made the oc-
cupation profitable as well as novel
undertaking. In explaining her new
work she said: Il was very i'll and
thought change of climate might 90

thought of all the possible things for
a girl to do, but every avenue seemed
blocked, so it suddenly popped into my
head to try something novel. l called

dogs and asked if / might take them

must all be done between 10 o'clock in

Then, too, some ladies' do not like
to have their dogs seen out with an
others pet, and l have to arrange my
hours carefully.
This work has been of the greatest

Miss Pierce did not hesitate to ell
that the salary paid her for exercising
thes swell bow-wows varied from 81
to S. a week for each dog, according to
tractability and general behavior. For
: instance, some highly bred CANNES are
badly behaved, and require a close
hold on the leading strap. Such bad
behavior must be made up in salary,
while docile, well-bred pup is trotted
up and down the avenue for dollar
or so less.
The tiny little dogs which are some
times seen poking their noses out of
muffs and folds of sealskin are the
most troublesome of all, since Miss
Pierce needs take them out by them
selves, and it is for these she requires
