FIVE DOLLARS

My Dear Juniors:
VII HAT would you do IL you had
w five dollars to spend just to suit
W yourselves? 1 am quite Curl
Gus to see how you will reply to that
question. Perhaps some of you will
Immediately think of roller skates, or
a new kite. or a suit of clothes, or some
wire and batteries for your electrical
work, or a magic lantern, or an eX-
press wagon, or hobbyhorse. There are
ever so many things which boys and
girls like which cost more than the
average amount of spending money,
and suppose nearly every one OF the
Juniors would like some of these things.
Then there will be other boys who
know where they could make a little
money if they had as much as five
dollars for the first investment. They
will tell us about some of those
schemes and will perhaps tell US what
they would.d do with more money when
they had earned that.
Last winter during the holiday sea-
son we had topic something like this,
only along much greater lines, and
each one of the Juniors wrote and told
just what they would do if they had
the power and resources of Santa
Claus.
Those letters were interesting. and all
showed a most generous spirit. This
time. however 1 hope that each one
will try to plan some very practical
manner of disposing of that five dollars
and will not simply evade the respon-
sibility by saying that you would give
it all to charity or all to the church.
If you would use it for such purpose
at least go into detail and tell just
what charity you would choose and
what method you would take of distrib-
uting the money.
But with all regard for those boys
and girls who love to give away their
property to those less fortunate than
themselves, 1 hope that most of you
will select some other manner of dis
posing of this money.
How many of the young artists will
take an interest in the new feature in
troduced into the drawing contests this
week? 1 hope that no one will be
alarmed by the idea of making these
pictures to illustrate a story. The pic
lures may be made along the same
lines and according to the same rules
you have followed in the past The
pictures will be printed at the same
time the story is used, and of course
every one who draws the pictures win
have chance of hitting off some of the
characteristics of the boy a.-d the
witch woman. Remember, the boy is
a 7-year-old lad, living alone with his
father in Sweden, and during the night
when he is left alone to guard the
house a beautiful witch woman gains
entrance to the house and begs him TO
give up the gold. When he refuses she
seizes him and drags him away with
her. There is a wonderfully happy end
ing to the story, which you will all en-
joy. Let me have a great many pic
lures, so that / shall find no difficulty
in making a good selection for the
story With love for you ALL

UNFINISHED STORY

e(OH, MOTHERl We have
fine lesson in English this
" week." said Mary, burst
ing into the sitting room with her
books in a strap over her
shoulder.
Mother looked up from her
sewing and smiled at her en-
thusiastic young daughter. well,
what is it, dear? Anything
about rainbows in t?"-and moth
err smiled little.
"Now, don't tease me, mother
dear, | really and truly thought
that we should find that pot of
gold and it would have at least
a million-but that's what our
topic is this time, about a mil
lion"
"A million what?" asked moth
err, somewhat puzzled.
ooh, just million anything we
think of. Teacher said that we
all used the expression without
thinking bout a million times
there, that is just what she said.
ooh dear, | must go and
change my shoes. I got into bout
a million puddles of water COM
ing from school,"
By this time mother was
laughing heartily and when Jes-
sic came in and called, carl, oh,
Carl, there's bout million boys
want you to come down t. the lot
and play ball." she said: well,
| think the teacher did very well
to give you that topic and | hope
YOU will each learn little about
the meaning of million by the
time you get your lesson done.
"You would better both go and
look up the meaning of the word
in the dictionary and then sit
right down and write your story,
concluded mother, as she went to
see about dinner.
Continue this story, telling OF the
further incidents which followed the
girls efforts to write their story Bout
a Million" They may write about bees
money, flies, mosquitoes, fishes. chill
dren, sheep. leaves, roses, in fact al
most anything which it is possible to
consider in such quantities. Stories
must be original and may be funny or
pathetic.
One prize, book, will be given in
this contest this week for the best
completed story

Supreme Court Opinion


Referendum petitions offered to Sec.
retary OF State Cross by the Republican
State committee last summer calling
Tor vote upon the Taylor election law
must be accepted as filed, according to
an opinion delivered by the State Su-
preme Court and peremptory writ of
the mandamus against the Secretary of
State was granted to that end In the
suit the Republican committee was re-
presented by State Chairman Norris.
Secretary House and Attorney of the
committee Will Henry Chappell.
The law upon which the initiative
and referendum procedure was sought
to he invoked was enacted by the last
Legislature and proposes to put into
effect for general elections what is
commonly known and referred to as
the ribbon ballot"
Among other things the ballot form
omits the name of political parties or
political insignia in connection with
the names of candidates for office.
In its passage, the emergency clause
was defeated, thus preventing the act
from going into effect until ninety days
after the Legislature adjourned.
The Republican committee presented
to the Secretary of State petitions
bearing about $4,000 names, asking
that the law be referred to the people.
Objections filed by Democrats of Logan
County held out that the procedure
fixed by law had not been followed by
the Republicans in regard TO detaching
certain sheets from the petitions 'In
the presence of the Governor" also
that the law was not subject to a refer
endum vote, according to the terms OF
the Constitution, since the act carried
into operation certain terms of the in
itiative and referendum law After a
public hearing Secretary of State Cro
decided with the Democratic objectors
from which opinion the Republican
committee appealed to the Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court opinion, written
by Justice Hays, holds that by terms
of the statue controlling the filing of
names in such instances the obligation
of petitioners ceases when the filing is
completed before the Secretary of State
and that the burden is then shifted to
that official. 1t becomes the Secretary's
duty, the opinion says, to obtain the
presence of the Governor, when the
names shall be detached from the PEE
tition. The work is mandatory upon
the Secretary of State. but only direc-
tory as to the public. the opinion says
and failure of the Secretary of State
to perform his duty does not invaiidate
the petition, and upon his refusal he
m y be compelled to do SO by manda-
mus. The decision is important in the
holding that the Taylor election law
was not given immediate effect under
the terms of the Constitution because,
as claimed by the Democrats, it carried
into operation provisions of the initia-
tive and referend am law. The act con-
tains seventy sections, only four of
which refer to the initiative and refer
endum which the court says can not be
accepted as controlling. OtherW Use,
the opinion says, it would be possible
for Legislature to give any act ini-
mediate effect by including within its

AIO FOR A BOAT
THAT LAY HELPLESS OFF CAPE
HATTEREss
Summoned by Wireless, and Seven
Ships Hasten to Aid Distressed
Barkentine.

New York, Feb. 11.-Thanks to
a wireless summons sent by the
steamer Ell Norte of the Southern
Pacific Steamship Company, six oc-
ean-going vessels and the revenue
cutter Onondaga are keeping more or
less distant watch tonight on the
barkentine Matanzas, bound for
Philadelphia from Fernandina, and
sighted II miles southeast of the
Diamond Shoals lightship, flying sig
nails of distress in a northeast gale.
The Ell Norte came up with the
barkentine yesterday and stood by
her until daylight, while the crew
jettisoned her cargo Of lumber.
A wireless message sent by the
Ell Norte to owners of the Matanzas
here apprised them of the plight of
the barkentine. A similar message
sent to the four winds was picked
up by the steamer Comus Of the Sou
thern Pacific Steamship Company,
which hastened to the assistance of
the disabled ship. The Ell Norte
then proceeded upon assurance from
the captain of the Matanzas that he
could keep his vessel afloat.
When the Comus came up with
the barkentine few hours later the
water was gaining on the men at
the pumps at the rate of foot an
hour, and her captain decided to
stand by. A wireless message sent
by him to the Hatteras station and
out to sea a thousand miles brought
the steamer Larimer of the ]. M.
Guffey Petroleum Company to the
scene and the two vessels stood
guard over the little sinking craft
until o'clock this afternoon when
she was reported 43 miles northeast
of the Diamond Shoals lightship.
The Larime then proceeded, leaving
the Comus on guard.
The Comus and the Cape Hat
teras station are in wireless commu-
nication with the revenue cutter On
ondaga, which is hurrying to the as
sistance Of the Matanzas and with
the Prince Eitel Frederick of the
Hamburg-American line en- route
from Jamaica to New York; the Co.
manchie of the Clyde line, on her
way from New York to Jacksonville;
The Seminole of the Clyde line,
bound from Turks Island to New
York, and the Lampasas of the Nal
lory line, out from New York for
Tampa, so that the barkentine will
not want for assistance should it be
needed.

REPORT FROM JAPAN
Says Papers Over There Are Copying
Yellow American Tales.

Toxic, Feb. 10.-Sensational re-
ports of the anti-Japanese sentiment
in the Pacific States, published in
the papers here are having marked
influence on public feeling. All
foreigners doing business here are
likely to be adversely affected, as in
the minds of all but the educated
Japanese, who are relatively few
members, all foreigners are alike.
The sensational Hochi appeals to
the passions and prejudices of its
readers, concluding with the pro-
verb Even Buddhe loses patience
if his face is slapped thrice
The more conservative Asahi urg-
es patience on its readers and reli-
ance upon the better element in
America for protection of the rights
of the japanese living there.
The official situation remains un-
changed, assurances being given that
Japan is in no fear that the action
of a State legislature will be per-
mitted to interrupt friendly rela-
tions with the United States.
