If the Democratic members OF
the Missouri Legislature are wis,
they will get together aud submit
to the voters of the State cOnsti,
tutional amendment embracing the
principles of the initiative and ref
erendum. The measure should be
wisely and conservatlvely drawn,
The Democratic State platform
pledged the support of the party to
this principle, and its representa-
tives should keep faith with the
people. If the people do not want
the initiative and referendum they
will defeat the amendment at the
polls, but they should have an OPP
portunity to express themselves on
the subject. THE TIMES is in
favor of it and it believes the peo'
pie want it. 1t would be whole

nn amendment to the COnstitu,
ton providing for II tax of seven
cents for free school text books, in
GLIDING the branches taught in the
common public school We dom
believe there is any real demand
among the people for free schoo
books. The cry made for this in.
novation in the last campaign by
the Republican candidate for State
Superintendent and followed by
others had more of the experiment
of vote. catching in it than real sin
cerlty. A tax of seven cents foi
this purpose would cost the people
half as much as they are taxed t.
support the State government
and we don't believe they are in
the humor for that. If the pco.
pie want free school books, the
plan of local option, suggested by
Governor DOckery, would come
nearer meeting their wishes than a
general State tax for the purpose;
then each district could decide
whether it would tax itself to fur
nish its pupils free books. No
harm, however. eau come from
submitting the amendment to Il
vote. If the people don't want it
they will easily defeat it.

The report that was published dur

gold hidden by Rudolph and Lewis had

may furnish summer and autumn
flowers. 1t is really difficult to make
the American tuberoses flower in win
ter or early spring.
The tuberose growers of North Caro-
lima are constantly experimenting
with view to obtaining new varieties,
and they have attained wide reputa-
tion for their bulbs. They produce
dwarf tuberoses of pearly tint that
have great reputation, double flowers,
tuberoses with variegated leaves, the
orange-fowered tuberose, the blossom
of which resembles that of the orange,
an albino and others.
Curiously enough, both the popular
name and the botanical name of the
tuberose have been the subject of much
discussion. Linnaeus named these
flowers polianthes, but in an cary
work of his the name was by mistake
spelled polyanthes, which was natu-
rally taken to mean "many-flowered."
1t is now believed that he intended
shining fowered," though some bot
anists think he had in mind "the city
flower"
The popular name is sometimes
called 'tubrose," and sometimes ''tube-
rose" The latter is the correctname,
and the plant was so called to dis.
tinguish it from the tuberous hyacinth
tits properly speaking not dubious,
but tuberous plant
