Fencing With Umbrellas.

Recently French publication print
ed a picture Of some American girls
fencing with umbrellas and stated that
they were trying to acquire thus the
necessary skill and assurance to parry,
with a simple gesture, an attack Of
Apaches.
1t also stated that this sport was not
born In America; that for several years
in France noted fencing mistress.
Nine. Guillemot, at the same time that
she taught fencing with the sword for
hygienic reasons and for personal de-

EMBEzZLING POWER.

'Embezzling power" that's expression, coined
to meet the of public officials who break faith with
the people The embezzement of power becoming all
too Is it not embezzlement of power when
alderman sells out to street corporatong When a
member of congress sells out railroad? When judge
sells out to trust When the speaker of the house Of
representatives his power to block good legislation
When Aldrich tries to pass law for Wall ST. gamblers
Is it not embezzlement of power when governor
shuts his and permits of grafters to trim
public building to the tune of millions graft? Is it
not embezzement of power when the prosecuting officer
OF West Virginia county refuses to prosecute coal
company which has violated the law and killed its men?
1t looks to if the evils of representative form
of government could be traced to this SMITHS
bezzement of power" Our representative government
seems to be pemeated with this evil The people hand
the to aldermen to members of their legislatures
to members of their congress- to governors in their states
to mayors their Cities to commissioners in their
tieshey hand the power to them and nearly all these
individuals turn about and embezzle and this power
for their private ends.
What then is the remedy? Stop lending out this
power. AS human nature is too weak-as it has been
shown to be impossible to who will not betray
these truststhe people ought to the power them
selves Our representative" form of government
should be made less representative and ''demo
cratic" Wipe out the intermediary who 'embebzes pow
err Exercise the power by direct vote.
How? By choosing United States senators by direct
popular vote by forcing good laws the books by the
initiative; by wpng bad laws off the books by the refer
endum by nominating candidates by direct primaries and
by sending instructed delegations to conventions.
If had cashier and he embezzled would you keep
