1t is exceedingly difficult to estab-
lish the initiative and referendum for
it requires constitutional amend
ment. A "short cut" for the re-estab-
lishment of the people sovereignty
is to install system whereby the
people can instruct representatives.
Along with this the candidates are
pledged that, if elected they will obey
the will of their constituents, when
expressed by referendum vote. This
system is in successful operation in
various places.
The peoples veto and direct initia-
tive, or the establishment of direct
vote system for instructing represent
atives establish in the people all the
powers of sovereignty, for they can
legislate as they choose. They can

veto power is exercised is termed the
referendum. The bills enacted by the
legislature or congress are referred
to the voters, if petitioned for by a
small proportion-usually five per
cent. This is the optional referen-
dunn. There are cases in which the
law requires that bill must be sub
mitted to the people and it is termed
the compulsory referendum.
A veto power is only one part OF
the supreme power, another section
of it is the direct initiative, usually
termed the initiative. Bills can be
proposed by small proportion of the
voters-usually eight per cent. Each
bill is considered by the elected rep
resentatives and they can submit a
competing measure, the people tax
ing their choice or rejecting both.

and do whatever else is thought best.
The peoples sovereignty is the
broadcast possible term to designate
the real question at issue. Today the
few are in power through machine
rule and the question is "Shall the
peoples sovereignty be established?
To do so requires the installation of
the referendum and the initiative or an
advisory vote system. AS rapidly as
either system Is installed the people
can do as they like. Reform after re-
form can come about, and the people
will advance as rapidly as they are
fitted to advance.

FOR THE, CHILDREN
Faithful Little Dog.

Some years ago a little boy had a
little fox terrier puppy.
He loved it, and the puppy loved him.
They played together all the time.
But one day the little boy was taken
sick
The dog would go into his room and
stand up by the bed and lick his hand.
The little boy died. The dog knew
it. He cried for the boy.
The people sent him to a friends
house.
He got out Of the house and ran
home. He followed the little boys
hearse to the grave.
Some men put his coffin into the
grave and covered it with earth and
put beautiful flowers over it.
Then the little dog lay down on the
grave. He stayed there all night.
The next day man went to fix the
grave.
The dog bit and fought him. The
man had to kill the poor little dog.

AN EXPERT ON ADVERTISING.

When expert testimony is based upon ex.
perience and supported by the practice of those
who testify, it is entitled to great weigh in the
consideration of the subject in hand. Know
ledge of the advertising business cannot be OBJ
tanned more satisfactorily than thru actual ex-
perience. One who has been obliged to try out
the various theories of publicity and demon
strate their relative value by the expenditure of
cold, hard cash is not likely to vaporize gen
eralize, but may be taken as safe guide by
those who would avoid mistakes.
Mr. Charles S. Young, the advertising man
ager of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway recently delivered university extens-
ion lecture, an extract from which appears in
other column, discussing the relative values of
different kinds of advertising. No business
probably employs more kinds of advertising
than a great railroad None feels obliged to
spend more money publications of it's own.
Printed matter giving special information in
detail is required by the public and cannot we'll
be provided in any other way than in the speci-
al publications of the Railroad and yet, accord
ing to Mr.. Young's experience and testimony all
these publications are but incidental and sup
plementry to the employment of what he re-
CARDS as the greatest and most valuable medium
of publicity the newspaper.
The gist of Mr.. Young's testimony is that
the newspaper is the best organized and the
best equipped medium for tho dissemination of
information, not only political, social and com
mercial, but also about business chances and
about every fact which the advertiser wants to
make public Doubtless certain measure of
publicity may be obtained for any given article
of commerce or any business announcement by
littering dooryards and residence sections with
handbiils for the winds to play with, or by the
invasion of those sections by offensive bill
boards, but the advertiser who employs such
methods takes large chances creating more
prejudice against himself and his trade than
the knowledge of his existence conveyed in
that way will ever be able to overcome.-Min-
neapolis Journal.

Senator Nelson addressed short joint ses-
ION of the two houses on Tuesday morning.
Vie referred to the fact that the first approprl-
alton for the new capitol was made during his
girst term as governor, and recited some of the
difficulties in getting the great work started.
an speaking of the work of the present Con-
gross, he said that the stories Of the friction be-
Gween the Senate and the President had been
greatly exaggerated He explained that the
difference Of opinion between the Senate and
she President on the arbitration treaties had
arisen from the desire of certain Southern
senators to protect their states in case any COM
Dlcations with foreign country should arise
out of the repudiated Southern bonds.

by the rebate system was honestly acquired
because no law had made rebating illegal.

Circuit Representatives Give Redwood
County Choice Week in Clos
ing September.
MOntevideo Was Not Elastic and Was
"HOOked Out" but Will
Have Fair Just the Same.

The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa Valley driving circuit was held
at the Merchants hotel, st. Paul, on
Wednesday evening of last week,
each county fair association in the
circuit being represented by one
or more representatives, Joseph
Tyson and Julius A. Schmahl rep
resenting the Redwood county as
sociation.
The bone of contention among the
different representatives was the
fixing of dates for the 1905 fairs of
the circuit, and as a result Monte
video was excluded from active
membership, the representative
from that town insisting that he
had been instructed to ask for the
last week ia September, and take
no others as the date for the Monte
video fair All of the other repre-
-sentatives present announced that
they were willing to be elastic, and
consequently dates were made ex-
elusive of Montevideo, except that
the circuit date for the last week in
September was given to Redwood
Falls in order that the two fairs for
that week might be as far away as
the territory of the circuit would
permit.
The state fair association having
previously announced it's dates for
Sept. 4th to 9th inclusive, one week
later than that association has held
the fair for several years, made it
impossible to give Montevideo its
dates, and satisfy any of the other
associations, the state fair practi-
cally allowing for only four weeks

OF reducing further immigration to
the United States to a minimum is
practicable and should be adopted. I"
Mr.. Neuensch wander had outlined
his attack in the negative on the
natural assumption that the word
minimum meant the lowest possible
admission of immigration, while the
ofhclal ruling constructs it as ex-
clusion of immigrants by culling
out those considered undesirable as
citizens. Willmar insisted on the
the debate along the line of the re-
cent decision, and argued the affirm
alive accordingly, making change
OF front necessary for Mr.. Neuen-
schwander, which accounts for his
not making as good a case as he is
capable of.
Willmar opened up with Wallace
Martin arguing that the United
States no longer needed immigra-
ton. Under changed conditions,
foreign labor was no longer need
ed 10 open up our agricultural
lands, and such lands are need
ed from now on for the Amer
leans already in this country. Re
cent immigration has brought about
congestion of vicious and ignorant
population in the large cities.
Ernest Carpenter built up a good
case for the negative on the basis
OF past experience in many nations.
Comparison was invited between
the northern states, which had alb
sorbed nearly all of our foreign i'm
migration, and the south, which
had attracted very little. The one
section was developed into wealthy,
intelliOent and populous communi-
ties, the other sparsely and crude
ly developed. Mr.. Carpenter cited
evidence to show that the Italians.

The circuit races will open at

Madison will follow with it's fair on
Sept. 21st, continuing for the same
time, while Redwood Falls will have
three days commencing Sept. 18th.
Marshall will again close the cir
cult, but will have four days
show, commencing ON Oct. 4th. The
latter association is in a thriving
condition, and Secretary Conway
announced that he expected much
greater success in 1905 than that of
last year.
All of the representatives pres
ent united in the request that the
county commissioners of each coun-
ty should appropriate the full
amount of $500 allowed by law for
the operating expenses of each So
ciety, and also that the state should
increase its appropriation to just
double the amount heretofore ap-
propriated for premiums, etc. At
the meeting of the breeders asso-
citation on the following day Mr..
Tyson succeeded in securing the
adoption of resolution asking the
legislature to comply with the lat
ter request.

ing year will be P. G.. jacobson of

tors before they become effective.

Attorneys for DR.. Koch Have No Trouble
in Getting Witnesses on Alibi
Theory.
Indications are That Koch Will be Ac-
quilted or Jury Will Disagree
Majority for Acquittal.

The testimony in the case of DR..
George R. Koch, on trial for the
murder of DR.. L. A. Gebhardt, at
New Ulm, is practically all in, the
attorneys being engaged in re-
buttal, and it is probable that today
they will commence summing up,
in case Judge Webber refuses to
grant motion to instruct the jury
to return verdict of acquittal.
The state has not produced evil
dence to warrant..a conviction. Con-
sequently it is believed that the
jury will either return a disagree
ment, or verdict of acquittal, and
the Koch adherents say that they
will not be satisfied with anything
less than complete acquittal and
exoneration. The states evidence
has been entirely circumstantial,
and some of the evidence in it's
possession was excluded by rules
of law.
On Monday of last week the state
attempted to prove that DIR. Koch
tried to poison DIR. Gebhardt by
sending him package of poison
through the mail from a mail car.
The address on the package was in
type writer and the state produced
witnesses Identifying the type as
being from machine which DR..
Koch had access to. Then DR..
Stricken testified that strychnine
was taken from his travelling chest.
and that DR.. Koch had the combina-
ton to the same. He also testified
to having examined DIR. Koch,s
hands on Thursday after the muir
der. and found three scratches two.
