The Popular Initiative and
Referendum.

The new article of the Constitution
of Maine-just adopted by the people
will work well as soon as we get the
hang of it. This article provides that
the enactments of the legislature
shall not take effect until ninety days
after their passage. If within that
period TO- 900 electors SO petition, the
operation of any law is postponed
until it has been passed upon by the
people. The initiative amendment
gives to any 1000 electors the power
TO submit law to the legislature by
petition. If the Legislature declines
to pass the proposed law it must be
referred nevertheless, in its original
form to the people. The legislature
may Suggest" amendments, and it is
optional with the people to accept or
reject any or all OF these. The re-
quirements of large numerical sup
port for the referendum or the initia-
tive were inserted by the lawmakers
in the expectation that they would
render the application of both infre-
quent. The assumption was that the
operation of securing 10000 or $4,000
names to petition would be SO difficult
that it would be successful only when
public opinion had been profoundly
stirred by legislation passed or pro-
posed. And thatlwill be the average
result.
In Oregon and other states similar
constitutional provision with the pop
ular party election, has displaced bad
bosses or converted them. If good
popular government is not promoted
by the new Maine amendment, it will
be the fault of the Folks. There is
no doubt the machinery for popular
government herein provided, is ad-
mirable.
But this machinery is not automat-
! ic. The Tired Feeling in any event
will be diminished. At the last
| Oregon election almost a score of in
itiative projects were borne on the
ballots, and among other laws sub
mitted to referendum was the appro-
priation for the state university
which had got more public funds
than The Folks cared TO stand for.
Twelve Thousand voters can now Sc
cure ballot on whether We shall re-
submit, as we'll as a ballot on whether
we shall invoke the Hepburn law SO
far as its principles apply to state
politics. The popular initiative is
unpopular in the Lobby, and among
old Machine Folk and 80 on. 1t was

national wealth. Even more oppor-
tune today is the discussion Of the
utilization OF our water power.
While America is the greatest con-
sumner of coal, more than one half Of
the present consumption in the United
States has for its object the genera
tion of power. In the presence Of
enormous undeveioped water powers
this drain upon the coal resources
seems in larger part unWarranted
Utilize this water power and there
will result not only the financial saw
ing OF today but also the conserva-
ton of the coal. Nor should we
think that posterity alone is concern
ed in this conservation of our re
sources. Every step toward the ex-
haustion of our easily mined coal, for
instance, will be marked by rise in
price.
1t is, then, only by the systematic
study of the natural resources Of the
country that progress can be made
toward national conservation. The
practical value of the Surveys scien-
tific work has been recognized in this
connection and the usefulness Of its
results appreciated by the general
public. With leliable information
before US regarding our stores Of
natural wealth, our present wastefu
practices, and the possibilities of i'm
provement in methods of utilization,
there should indeed be sufficient in
centive to join in the movement for
national betterment.

Keith's Boston Theater.

A show that gives promise of
making an almost ideal vaudeville Of
fering has been arranged for next
weeks at Kei.h's Theatre, the Eight
Kellinos, Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner Crane
and company, Adeline Dunlap and
company, Cameron and Flanagan,
"Christmas on the Island" Carroll
and Cook, and the Three Weston
Sisters being among the bookings al
ready made.
The Eight Kellinos made their first
appearance in New York ten weeks
ago, and won immediate recognition
as presenting one of the greatest and
most novel acrobatic performances
vaudeville has ever known. Their
feats are much out OF the ordinary
and highly sensational.
"Pixley's Prodigal Parents" and
"The Night of the Wedding two of
the seasons new sketches, will have
their initial Boston presentations.

Skowhegan's New Representative

In the rush of matters demanding
attention during The week of election
the REPORTER neglected to state the
name of the winning candidate for
Legislative representative from the
town of Skowhegan, recording in the
last issue only the fact that the
Democrats had prevailed. The
gentleman, who by this result be-
comes our preventative elect, is
Frank Thompson. Mr.. Thompson
was born in Jackman fifty-two years
ago, moving to Bingham with his
parents when less than year old.
He became resident of Skowhegan
about twenty five years since, con-
tinuing the business of cattle buying,
in which he had been engaged to
some extent in Bingham, and estab-
fishing a meat market on the south
side. Mr.. Thompson's partner for the
first two years after coming here was
Bradbury Robinson and the firm
afterward became Thompson &
Howes. For the past Is years he has
been associated with his brother, the
firm being known as Frank & Abel
Thompson.
Skowhegan's police force has for
twelve years included Mr.. Thompson
in its membership and for seven
years of this time he has been at the
head of the police department as its
chief. He did not seek the nomina-
ton at the legislative caucus OF
/ Skowhegan Democrats and accepted
it with very little thought of winning
He decided to make canvass of the
situation. however, and was OF
course, delighted to find many people
who had previously been counted as
Republicans who proposed to vote
the Democratic ticket this year. Mr.
Thompson is quite an extensive own
er of Skowhegan real estate, paying
individually and as a partner in the
firm with his brother, nearly $500 in
! taxes. He is member of all the
Skowhegan bodies of Oddfellowship
and of Skowhegan Grange. He
states his determination to do his
very best to suit the constituency he
is to represent at Augusta in the 74th
/ Legislature.

A Memorial Window.

E. G. Hendman, proprietor of the
Colonial Glass Works of Boston, ar
rived here Monday, to make arrange
ments for placing memorial window
in the southerly wall of the Island
Avenue Congregational church
This is to be in memory of the late
Paulena G. Philbrick who died some =
thing like thirty years since. Mrs.
Philbrick was the wife of the late
Captain Joseph Philbrick and the
mother of Mrs. Paulena Hill. She
was very prominent member of the
Island Avenue Church during her
lifetime. The window will be of am
Der and olive tints and the design is
to be temple from the dome of
which light is scattered upon an open
Bible. The dove and olive branch
and other appropriate emblems are
also introduced. 1t is to be complet-
ed and in place in about three weeks.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Vt is perfectly safe to say that
business conditions in the west and southwest
are better than those in the territory further
east, In this part of the country we are not
so dependent upon the manufacturing inter
eats but the manufacturers cannot hope to get
into full blast again until the railroads are
able to order literally the things for which
they are in good times the largest customers.
When we order rails we set everything in mo-
ton back to the ore mines; when we order
cars, not only the ore and coal mines are busy,
but also the sawmills. Not less than 35 per
cent of the total freight tonnage of the United
States is created by orders placed by the rail-
way companies, and the laTgest question the
country now has to face is, shall these inter
ests which produce such a large percentage
Of the business OF the country be allowed to
languish. OF shall they be permitted TO earn
enough money to get under Roadway again?
