INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

If the advocates of the initiative
and referendum are in earnest in their
advocacy of the proposed change they
should try to demonstrate it by their
acts. They should endeayor to show
that they really think the people
ought TO pass on all proposals OF
change in the law by expressing them.

opportunity presents itself.
The Tribune is not arguing against
the iniative and referendum. 1t mere.

MONTANA REPUBLICAN.

The Republicans of Montana won
a far greater victory in the recent
election than was anticipated by the
most sanguine of the party managers.
The latest figures indicate that JOS
eph NJ. Dixon, candidate for congress,
will have a majority in excess of s.
900. while Judge Holloway's major
ity is climbing up toward 10000. Mr..
Dixon carried every county in the
state except Silver Bow and Judge
Holloway all but one. Cascade, Judge

will be about a stand-off, l3 each,

conditions in the state OF New York
the Independents deductions are both
amusing and Illogical.
Since the time of Aaron Burr's mas
terly manipulation of New York City
politics in behalf Of Thomas Jeffer-
sons candidacy for president, the vote
of that city has been looked upon as
the hope Of Democracy, not only in
determining the result in the state

The only aim OF the Republicans of
the state has been to keep down the
Democratic majority in the city in the
hope of overcoming it throughout the
state. In an OFF year, when there is
comparatively little at stake, there is
a lack of energy in this direction.
In the nomination of bird S. Color

state, not excepting David B. Hill

New York City and Brooklyn by a

people who appear to care least arc
those who are loudest in the advocacy
Of the Swiss system.
Throughout Montana the people BAL
an opportunity OF passing upon a pro
posed amendment to the constitution
10 Cascade county the voters had the
Opportunity OF passing upon a propos'
ell bond issue.
In ieiiher case did they take advan-
tage Of the opportunity. While the
seturns on these questions are not all
announced. II is safe 10 say that not
80 per cent of the voters expressed
any opinion on the questions present
ed to them. The amendment has
probably carried in the state. and the
bonds have undoubtedly carried in
Cascade county. But that has moth
ing to do with the point which the
Tribune is making in this matter
that the people will not take sufficient
interest to pass upon these PROPOSE
lions.
And, strange as il may seem, we
are told that the people who take
least interest in such questions when
presented to them in this way are
those who profess the loudest their
belief in the initiative and referen-
dunn.
The labor party and the populist
party have both declared in favor OF
the initiative and referendum, and yet
q judge OF election tells the Tribune
that the expressions of opinion on the
amendment almost invariably came
upon ballots voted by either Demo
Gratis or Republicans. The bonds were
on a separate ballot Sc that it was
not easy to tell there, but the same
Judge says that the only interest in
the matter appeared to be among
those who were known to be members
of the major parties.
II the advocates of the initiative and
referendum want the system adopted
they should first show their faith in
It by intelligently voting on all the
questions that are presented to them.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old.
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
%consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the %consumptive needs
most.
Scottish mulsionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the c%onSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is ONE
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
