SLOWLY the pioneer work of re-
form done by the populist party
is coming to the good. At the
late election in Illinois, (republi-
can Ills, too), a constitutional
amendment giving the people of
that state the initiative and ref
erendum, was carried by 164, 900
majority. That means that
hereafter in Illinois when the
CRATER and boodlers work legis-
lation through the house and
senate, they have then got to
submit the whole matter to a
vote of the people before it can
become an effective law. 1t also
means that when a certain per
cent of the voters demand a law
it must be formulated and sub
mitted to the popular vote. Had
we the initiative and referendum
in Kansas our state could soon
be purged of many of it's obnox-
ious and useless laws. Without
it, legislatures may come and
go, and the ''grafter's,' work
goes on forever.

THE DATE. OF THE FLOOD.
Bible Facts on Which the Bishop
Based His Question.

Based His Question.
Some people had fun over the re-
ported rejection of eight candidates for
the african Methodist ministry in the
south by the eXami9ing bishop because
they could not tell the date of the
flood. Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he was
doing. It may not have been a fair
question, but there is a concise answer
to it in the Bible, and he no doubt
thought that the eight candidates, If
they were we'll versed in the Old Tesla
ment would answer it at once.
The date of the flood was 1.65G years
after the birth of Adam. in the second
month and the seventeenth day. 1t be-
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights This is how it is figured:
The third verse of the fifth chapter of
Genesis reads thus, "And Adam lived
100 years and begat son in his own
likeness, after his image, and called his
name Seth" Then in the sixth verse
it, told that Seth lived 105 years and
begat Enos. Adam, says the fourth
verse, lived 500 years after the birth
Of Seth, and the latter after the birth
Of Enos lived S07 years. So it goes on.
Enos begat Cainan when he was 90;
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
rs; Mahalaleel begat Jared when he
was So; Jared begat Enoch when he
was 1872. Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was 65, and
when Methuselah was 1877 he begat
Lamech, and Lamech's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
1872. This Brings us down to the birth
of Noah, which, according 10 the added
ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born, occurred
1,O06 years after the birth CT Adam
In the seventh chapter Of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: I'll
the six hundredth year of N0ah's life,
in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month. the same day were all
the fountains of the great deep broken
up and all the windows of heaven
were opened" This was the food,
and it came to pass in the ypay 1856
after the birth of Alaln.--New York !

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit Two men dispute
Sver a few dollars and 90 to law Both
are sure to lose: Their neighh0rs are
dragged in as witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start quarrcls tha1
last for years. Some men claim it is
"principlp" that actUates them in these
lawsuits. 1t is bullhtadrdness, pure
and simple II is nearly always easy
to "split lie differences"
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county is put to con
siderable expense. and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury
Settle your disputes without going to

WALL STREET
Gossip About 1904
Candidates.
1904
Some Believe Johnson Is Pre-
ferred to Roosevelt.

New York, Sept. 23.-The New
Yorker publishes the following:
There is just a vague suspicion that
it is part of the plan Of the Republican
Congressional committee to encourage
industriously the publication Of the
report that the Wall Street magnates
are Indignantly declining to contrib
ute campaign funds. There will be
plenty of money to pay legitimate ex-
penses, and the report of the luke
warm feeling upon the part of Wall
Street will prove more effective among
the ruralists than money. With the
President and Republican committee
both posing as unfriendly to trusts,
and the Democrats sincerely hostile,
very strong sentiment, irrespective
of party, will be aroused. or course,
there is a good deal of demagogy In
all this. but 1t will breed lot of trou-
BILE for the trust interests Just the
same. Still, l believe the trusts are
abundantly able to take care of them
selves
1t is an open question If Wall Street
would not prefer Tom johnson to
Roosevelt. The money kings know
where to locate Johnson. In a sense
he is one of them. He is worth $2O.-
100000 or more, which makes him
clubable, regardless Of his vagaries.
They feel that he is only an enemy
of the octopus from the teeth out. and
that he will readily acquire cold feet
when the material interests are seri.
ously threatened. AS to Roosevelt,
they cannot feel certain. He will be
to the financial interests perpetual
source Of uneasiness. They may To-
cate him definitely now and then. but
they will never be certain they can
keep him located. And as for Cor
man-why, as between Roosevelt and
the Maryland statesman, Wall Street
would solidify on him as it did on
Cleveland, and possibly for the same
general eason-regarding him as es-
sentially safe man" The big game
of national politics is rapidly taking
shape for 1904
