THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

The Initiative and Referendum
amendment carried the State du-
ring the recent election by a ma
jority of 30, 942. A great many
have expressed their opinion that
the measure will prove a failure
and have declared that it has
been a failure wherever tried;
but it was probably never given
a trial before such an intelligent
a body as the voting population
of Missouri and theoretically it
should now prove a success.
There will necessarily, how
ever, be a lot of red tape if the
measure is ever brought into
play. There will be the expense
of getting the necessary number
of petitioners for any proposed
legislation or against any passed
legislation. Then there will be
the large expense of getting the
question before the people and
later of the extra counting at the
election.
Missouri's legislatures have as
a rule been eminently satisfac-
tory. The last was one that
reflected great credit upon the
State by its progressiveness and
seeming incorruptibility. But
never has it been possible for a
Jim Crow law to have any show
at the state capital. The railroad
and negro influence have been 81
great that combined they have
defeated every attempt to pass a
law compelling the separation o.
whites and blacks in railway sta.
tions and trains. But many be.
lieve chat such a law would meet
with the approval of a large ma
jority of the people in this state
Nearly every Democrat woull
vote for it and the better class o
Republicans would favor it. |
would be interesting to see thi
matter brought before the peopl
of the state for popular vote AM

In many respects Herbert S.,
Hadley should make agood gov
ernor for this State. If he merely
keeps his promises in regard to
giving the big cities non-partisan
police departments he will do a
good work, If he accomplishes
his stated purpose of making the
public roads in the state suitable
for traffic at all times he will be
thanked by every citizen of rural
Missouri. But what causes many
people to fear is the prospect Of
the appointment of a lot of negro
minor officials in the State. In
Kansas City Mr.. Hadley has
shown his disposition to dish out
a big share of the Offices to negro
es and it is hardly possible that
he will now go back on his prom
Uses explicit or implied to the
race which gave him the election.
The best we can hope is thai
none Of the negro appointees
will have occasi on to visit Lex
ington.

Jockey Davis Is SET
Down by Stewards
Reversal of Form Shown by May
Amelia Causes Downfall
of Rider

AS a result of the sudden reversal
of form shown by May Amelia Jockey
r. Davis, who is under contract 10

pended by the stewards of the New
California jockey club after, that mares
mount on May Amelia when she nm
ished in the ruck a week ago yes
terday in the seven furolng race which
Burleigh won after May Amelia and
Belle of IroQuois had both been
plunged on to beat him.
The stewards have had that race un-
der investigation ever since, so sus-
picious did some of its angles appear.
May Amelia had previously been run
ming very consistently. In fact that
was the only poor race that she had
run in long time C. Sanford. her
owner, produced proof of having bet
5000 on his mare the day Davis rode
her with such unsatisfactory results
He declared that so far as heN could
tell the mare was as Mt and ready to
run her race that day as. upon any
occasion in which she had run well.
Confident that his mare had not trained
off, on which ground there was some
disposition to account for her poor
showing, Sanford bet s4o0 back on her
yesterday at odds averaging to 1, but
lost nearly all OF his profits on his
mare Fantastic in the succeeding race.
on which he sent a commission for
$1,000 into the ring.
Davis has been riding in very poor
form of late and has bungled things
badly on several promising mounts 1t
simply looks like a case of the boy
having completely lost his ability to
ride we'll.
The stewards took no official action
on Janeta's sudden flip flop back to
winning form 1t looks as though the
public had a right to expect some ac-
ton that will put an end to the In

The investigation into the Judge
Nelson reversal OF a few days ago is
still on. H G. Bedwell, owner OF the

Jockey Miller turned what looked like

Miller then took up went to the
outside and gradually worked his
mount up within striking distance of
the leaders before the turn had been
negotiated. Making a short turn when
the field spread out at the head of

that he was able to slip through. and
riding with a vim that was refresh

efforts, he got Gypsy King up to win

Gossip of the Track

The Emeryville ring would have re-
ceiyed a scorching had not Jockey I'd
Willis broken il UP badly with Como In
the last race yesterday Como was
played for one Of the biggest killings OF
the present season, not only in the
ring at Emeryville, but in poolrooms
throughout the country. Billy Cross,
The genial. Jolly and irrepressible repre-
sentative of Racing and Graphic. was
the man who engineered the at
tempted coup. Como was cherry ripe
for the killing and 1t was only because
of his riders incompetency that Cross
and his connections failed TO cash their
big bets. The horse ran winning
race under Incompetent handling, after
Willis had succeeded in getting him
virtually left at the post. Cross had
expected q better rider up. but his
plans were upset at the last moment
and Willis was taken in the emergency.
The horse had been backed down from
an opening quotation of into equal
favoritism with Gypsy King at about 2.

first brace of winners that he has
landed since his fall from Smiley Cor
bett The boy showed HIS oldtime
ginger on Boas and Gypsy King. but
put UP a weak effort with Taunt after
getting shut of at the first turn.
Jack Keene thought so little of the
chances Of Boas that he bet only the
modest sum Of SIS at ~ to l on the
horse. His brother. Ham, thought that
Wap would win the race and backed
his opinion with bet on that horse,
only to see his own colors victorious.
Although bets were declared off on
the year old race yesterday. the purse
was paid, just as IL there had been no
fiuke to the contest
Yesterdays big plunge on wap was
due TO the fact that he had worked
three-eighths in "a 2-5 since his pre-
vious start. This was a sensational
