visions Of The referendun this law
would have 70 be printed On I'll the

It would become null and void and

These two PuneipIes the initiative

Prof. ]. R. Commons, the well
known professor of sociology and
| p olitiesl economy, said: The
greatest issue before the American
people today IS bribery No re-
form movement, no citizens union
or the like can fully cope with il.
The referendum alone is a complete
aud specific cure for this condition.
1t alone goes to the source of cor

GOLDEN TExT: Pride goeth before
destruction, and a naughty spirit
before a fall.-Proy. 16. IS
The last time we studied Old Test
ament history, In Dec. 1903, we left
the glory Of Isreal at it's zenith.
The last King, whose glory with
that OF lsrael's shone In combined
power, was now dead. His son Re
hoboam was to succeed him on the
throne OF united Israel. The burden
OF taxation under solomon had been
severe, and they demanded that be
reduce their burdens. There had
some little smoke OF impending rev.
olution during the last years Of Sol
onions reign. So the elders Of these
northern tribes came making de-
mands OF the new King. This re-
quest was led by IerobOam the son
OF Nebat, who caused Israel to ssn.
Rehoboam requested three days in
which TO consider the matter. SO
after consulting the old men of the
kingdom who counselled eoneiliato-
~ measures, he then asked tine
young men for their opinion, which
called for harsh measures, and be
adopted their advice. Much TO the
of the elders who presented
the demands. Thus he became an
agent In the fulfilment OF a prophecy
that divided the Kingdom into two
kingdoms. His reply long
ranked In their hearts. "My father
made your yoke heavy and win
add 10 your yoke; my father also
you with whips. bat ! viii
chastise you with scorpiOns.'

LUXURY ALWAYS ENDS TN DECAY
This kingdom was at the parting OF
The way. Solomon's reigz had been
one OF magnificent luxury and splen-
cor. The people had been surseited
with the splendor Of the kingdom.
Much the same principle in action
to-day that tells Of the decay Of our
wealthy families. Luxury always
brings waste. and waste when it Is
full, brings forth decay. and decay
ends In death. Change and decay
