No Betrayal OF Trust

BY the referendum you do not need
to put such trust in one individual and
be so bitterly disappointed. The exam
pie Of Frank x. Nipple. OF Philadel-
phia Real Estate Trust fame is a good
one to refer TO. Do you suppose that
If men like John II. Converse and Will
liam A. Patton, after twenty years
association with Mr.. Nipple. could not
tell by looking in his face that he was
dishonest, that you can tell after
smoking a cheap cigar on election day
that the candidate Is worth making
your boss for any term whatever.
The Initiative and Referendum is
the best remedy yet offered. 1t has
been tried in some States and has
worked excellently.

lied government can be turned into a
blessing to the individual.
Remedy and Blessing
That remedy is the Initiative and
Referendum-the proposition by which
the people, the voters, can say ''yes"
or mo" to the passage OF any law
should five per cent. OF the voters so
desire 20 do so.
The referendum bears the same rela-
tion to the present system OF making
laws and enacting them as the boss
does to the expert.
Mr.. Nesblt explained the difference
by illustrating the oculist to whom ne
goes for surgical treatment and the
quack who bosses the patient In the
case Of the expert you have the de-
sign your will TO his.
The Boss and the Expert
To-day we elect boss on election
day who docs our thinking for US, our
voting and our ruling. BY the initia-
tive and referendum we can send a
man to do our will and can say 10
him at any time we choose: Hold
up, we will look carefully at any law
you propose. any franchise you grant
before II becomes compulsory upon
us"
There are only two ways by which
you can conduct your government to-
day: One by electing a boss after one
days thought and energy and fore
sight to do your thinking and govern
ing for you, and another by retaining
the power in your own hands every
day IN the year to make or unmak'
your laws The latter IS the common
sense plan. 1t is the only way demo
cratic government can exist.
It is far better than the way we d

He Got tn. Pills.

A druggist In Northwest Baltimore
thinks he has discovered among his
customers one of the most penurious
men in the city. The druggist sells
100 quinine pills for 25 cents, and the
man in question was among those who
invested. Some time after he had left
the store the customer returned and
informed the druggist that there were
only 96 pills in the bottle he had
bought. The druggist handed out the
four pills, but he Is doubtful If they

REQUISITES FOR a HAPPY LIFE
Useful Occupation and an Outlet for
Unseif7sh Affection.

Unselfiah Affection.
There are two fundamental neces-
sites for happy life. namely. use
full occupation for mind and body, and
an outlet for unselfish affection. The
first requisite for erGuring happiness
is in having work to do in which one
believes. Such work always aims at
the accomplishment of something use
full. While this work must be done
with fair efficiency. It should not be
accompanied with too much drudgery
or exhaustion.
The simpler the plan on which ones
