GROWTH OF REFERENDUM

The rapid growth of referendum sentiment
in all parts of the country is constantly being
disclosed. The people of Nevada voted to amend
their constitution last fall The Buffalo, N. Y,
Enquirer, which has successfully supported the
fight for the installing of the advisory referen-
dunn and advisory initiative in that city, says:
The constitution of Nevada was amended
on November s, last, by popular VOTE The
amendment provides that whenever 10 per
cent of the voters of the state shall express
their wish that any law made by the legisla-
lature shall be submitted to a vote of the
people, election officers shall submit the
question at the next state election. When a

conditions rendering a severance necessary,
which is highly flattering to that monarch and
which must tend also to take the edge off
the irritation of the Swedish people over the
Norwegian detection. AS to the manner in
which the Norwegian people themselves will
regard the concession to Swedish royalty in
case the offer should be accepted, that is a
matter which it will take time to determine.
Meanwhile, however, the sop to Cerberus
seems to be fairly effective.-Pittsburg
Leader.
Deposing a king is always good bust
ness. There ought not to be any more kings,
and the chief folly committed by the patriotic
Norwegians was in suggesting that young
prince of the royal house be selected to as
cend the throne. Surely this is the time for
them to get rid of young and old princes, of
kings, thrones and hereditary monarchs gen.
erally.-New York Journal.
Their political development toward de-
mocracy, too, would make the Norwegians
peculiarly suited to a republican government
They are highly democratic They have no
aristocracy, no privileges of birth, hereditary

The Boston Post says that the organization oil
the Massachusetts referendum league gives def
mite shape and leadership to a movement which
j.; unquestionably gaining strength among the
people:
If the campaign of education upon which
this league proposes to enter is conducted
wisely as well as vigorously there is little
doubt that the popular support necessary to
compel action by the legislature will in time
be secured. In fact, there is no such antago-
nism between the representative system and
direct legislation as some people seem to
think. There is nothing incongruous in the
association of the referendum with the law
making machinery as it now exists in this
state. Indeed, it is not an untried method;
it already exists in connection with that most
important affair, the amendment Of the consti-
tuition; it is demanded in legislation affecting
local rights and interests, and it has been
successfully used in ascertaining the popular
will for the instruction of the legislature. The
plebiscite upon the question of woman suf-
frage, few years ago, is a notable instance
of what is called the advisory initiative

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

The Typographical Journal points out that
the United States will soon undertake govern
ment ownership of the railway the Isthmus
of Panama. 1t is announced that rates will be
lowered as soon as the government begins the
operation of the road:
The experiment will be watched with
deep interest by all who have advocated gov
eminent ownership of public utilities. The
United States government will enjoy a mo-
nopoly of the railroad business in this par
ticular part of the world, as no competing
lines exist, and none will be permitted to
build. Enjoying this monopoly, there will be
no necessity of offering inducements to ship
pers for their patronage in the shape of re-
bates, etc.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE

The negotiations for peace, naugurated by
President Roosevelt, are making satisfactory pro-
gress Both Russia and Japan have agreed to
discuss terms but the place where the pleni-
potentiares will meet has not yet been deter
mined. The New York World asks the following
questions:
But will military evacuation mean no
Japanese protectorate over Manchuria? Will
it imply the open door for all the nations of
the world? Or will it be followed by such
close control of the government of that
province as Japan plainly proposes exercis-
ing Corea? 1t is there, in spite of all
temptation to hold what she has, that Japan
must give proof of her Good faith in dispos-
sessng Russia.
With reference to indemnity, which Rus
STA views with CONSERVATION, the Springfield Re-
publican says:
Yet the payment of heavy indemnity
seems indispensable, from Japan's point of
view, if she is to concede to Russia full pos
session of her old Siberian empire down to
the seacoast, and therefore the influence of

Nevada is the fourth state in the union
to adopt the referendum in its fundamental
law. There has been no noise about this, but
it was a far-reaching victory for popular gov
eminent. Those who watch closely the cur
rents of national life. see in such incidents
as the adoption of the Nevada amendment a
reason for a new courage and belief in pure
democracy.
There may be rapid concentration OF
wealth. and there may be a strong tendency
towards Capitalization Of power, but the
remedy is making progress. That remedy is
not due to the few "men of special train
ing" but to the general understanding of the
needs, and the quickening of democratic
impulses in the heart of the multitude No
autocratic spirit can withstand this. And in
it lies the guarantee to men Of justice which
comprehends the equality Of opportunity and
the equality of rights. Let the people rule

SECESSION OF NORWAY

For the moment the secession Of Norway
from Sweden overshadows the peace negotiations.
The Norwegian storthing has voted to dissolve
a union which has existed since 1914. From early
In the fourteenth century until 1914 Norway was
subject to Denmark In that year Denmark was
coerced by England and Russia into ceding Nor
way to Sweden. This was Sweden's reward for
Joining the alliance against Napoleon, although
Swedens king was Bernadotte, one of Napoleons
old marshals. BY fierce show of resistance Nor
way gained free and liberal constitution and
parliament. Sweden retained control of the for
eign relations of both nations The king was
granted the right of veto, which, however, could
be overcome by the vote of three successive
storthings.
The controversy which led to the dissolution
of the union arose the question of separate
consular service. When the Norwegian storthing
finally voted to have separate consular service
under Norwegian minister of state King Oscar
vetoed the law. Norway did not wait for vote
BY three successive storthings but almost i'm
medately declared its independence. Various
phases of the situation are discussed in the press
of this country:
1t is generally agreed that there will be
no war to restore the union. Sweden will let
the "erring sister, she may consider her,
"go in peace" When the congress of Vienna
automatically handed Norway to the
king of Sweden ninety-one years ago the
people rebelled but had to submit There
will be no resort to force now. Swedes and
NorWegans can get along in perfect amity
under separate governments. They could not

The motive behind the offer or the Nor
wegian throne to a representative of the
Swedish house of Bernadotte is obviously a
diplomatic one, pure and simple. At heart
the Norwegians are not disposed to perpet-
uate the monarchy. The sentiment of the
people is mainly democratic, and if plebis-
cite were taken it would. without doubt, re-
suit in an overwhelming declaration for the
establishment of a republic. There is in this
concession an implication of loyalty to the
king himself, independent of the political

The Norwegian storthing, or parliament,
in declaring the secession of Norway from
it's union with Sweden, has consummated a
purpose long entertained by the Norwegian
people. The difference between the two
countries is radical and arises from a con-
fict of commercial interests. Sweden, which
possesses extensive manufactures, upholds
the policy of protection Norway, which de-
ponds mainly upon it's farms and it's fisheries,
is free trade nation. Hence, with a view
to normal regulation of commerce, Norway
has for years been demanding a separate
consular service and it is the steady refusal
of this demand by the Swedish government
which has led to the final declaration Of d.
vorcement.-St Paul PioneerPress.

Russian absorption of Norway and Swe-
den may seem remote. But Russian states
manship looks far ahead. 1t has been out
of the weakness of her neighbors that Rus
STA has gained in territory. To see Norway
and Sweden wilfully reduce their strength
by separation because of local issues must ex-
cite her hope of ultimate aggrandizement.-

ALCOHOL VS.. STRENGTH.

The laborer, the traveller and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusiOn
that it produces strength. When ia
tigued they take glass of grog and
feel better They imagine themselves
stronger. Their increased strength,
however. is only matter of magma
ton.
The use of alcohol makes man
feel stronger-makes him believe that
he can do more work, endure more ia
tigue and hardship, and withstand
greater degree of cold than he could
without it; but when an actual trial is
made it soon becomes apparent that
the ability is lacking. Numerous ex-
periments have shown that alcohol
decreases strength. SAYS DR.. Brun-
tom "The smallest quantity takes
somewhat from the strength of the
muscles" Says DR.. Edmunds of
London: ga stimulant is that which
gets strength out of man."
Some time ago series of expert
ments were made for the purpose of
determining the influence of alcohol
upon the muscular strength. The com
bined strength of all the different
groups of muscles in the body was
found, in the case of a healthy young
man, to be 1881 pounds. The young
man was then given two ounces of
brandy and the test was repeated. He
felt confident that his strength was in
creased. In fact, it was found to be
only 1881 pounds, loss of more than
one-third. A notable diminution in
strength was still present ten hours
after the administration of the bran
dy.
Thus, it is seen that strong drink
not only robs person who uses it of
reason and the finer instincts, but of
strength as well.

"He Lifted His Coat Tail"

From the Savannah Press
A news item from Washington Civ
ing the details of the inaugural cere-
monies says:
"Mr. Roosevelt walked to the
central chair and sat down. He
lifted his coat tails as he did So"
Could anything have been more
timely and significant at this juncture?
How the familiar action must have
touched the hosts of democratic
admirers looking on and convinced
them of the utter falsity of the claim
that imperial notions are undermin-
ing and subverting our democratic
fabric Imagine, if you can, Edward
VII, when about to be coronated,
carefully placing his hands behind
him, firmly grasping coat tail with
each of them, extending them at right
angles and seating himself. Only the
American president and the American
gentleman does that, and as long as
the president keeps up the good old
style on the eve of inauguration our
democratic institutions are safe.

AGreat General.
From the Savannah News.

In their jeers and jibes and carica-
lures the photographers and the car
toOnists who are roasting" General
Kuropatkin are grossly unjust to a
brilliant and brave soldier. That he
is strategist of a high order OF abil-
ity has been shown on numerous oc-
casions during the current war. His
position is an extraordinary difficult
one. The japanese are fighting prac-
tically at home; Kuropatkin is 1000
miles from home. The Japanese lines
of communication with the home bases
and recruiting stations are numerous
and open; Kuropatkin has but sin
gle line of communication open, a
poorly equipped railroad stretching
across a continent; the japanese
though inferior in the number of SOL
diers have better equipment OF ar
tillery. Still, despite all of the odds
against him Kuropatkin has fought
splendidly month after month and
succeeded in eXtricating his men from
positions that seemed practically
hopeless. He may eventually be de-
feated, but he will deserve to be held
in high esteem.

Valdosta, like Dawson, is protest
ing against its shabby depots and the
poor passenger accommodations pro-
vided bv the railroads that enter that
town. But Valdosta has gone step
further than Dawson, and taken her
complaint to the state railroad COM
mission. The Valdosta Times has
enlisted heartily in the fight, and in
noting the appointment of commit
tee to appear before the commission
gives description of the conditions
there that so we'll fit our own that
The News reproduces it;
A committee of Valdosta's rep
resentative citizens will appear
before the railroad commission in
Atlanta tomorrow and make an
earnest appeal for better passen-
ger accommodations by the rail
roads in this city. The appeal
which they will make is well
founded 1t is a protest against
conditions that are well nigh in
,tolerable. 1t is an appeal from the
euncouth conveniences of a cross
road town twenty years ago to a
live, up-to-date city which furnishes
nearly two hundred thousand dol
lars worth of passenger traffic to
the roads annually. The passen-
ger accommodations here are not
sufficient for town of five hun
bred people, much less one of
nearly ten thousand.
Dawson, it seems, will also be com
PEELED to go to the railroad commits
sion for relief, and we understand that
this will be done at an early date.
The people of Dawson have exercised
patience until patience has ceased to be
a virtue, and have about reached the
point where they will make no further
effort to persuade the railroads to
provide passenger accommodations in
keeping with the business they do
here and with some regard for the
comfort and convenience of the trav-
cling public, but will take the matter
before a tribunal that will at least
give it some consideration.

The Far-Reaching Effect of Divorce

The Far-Reaching Effect of Divorce.
From the Nashville American
The ST. Louis Republic has been
making some figures on divorces. and
thus gives the result: SIN the United
States during the last third of a cent
ury the number of divorces amounted
up to TOO, 0O0-1, 400, 900 men and wom-
en- whose homes had been broken up
and the number of children estimated
to have been robbed of their rights to
a real home is 4, 1000, 900, approximate
ly per cent. of the population. ;,
Whereupon the New York Herald
steps in and adds: This is appall-
ing, and if we follow up our statisti-
cal contemporaries figuring the sum
total is something terrible. To the
l, 400, 900 men and women must be adj
ded at least 700,0 others, represent
ing the man or the woman in the case,
and to the 1900, 600 children in exist
ence when the divorces are granted
should be added-as loss to the
Countrywide II, OOO,O additional lit
tie pledges of affection that would
have been added to the population
