A COMMON COLD

We claim that il catching cold could
be avoided some of fine most dangerous
and fatal diseases would never be heard
of. A cold often forms a culture bed
for germs of infectious diseases. Con-
sumption, pneumonea, diphtheria and
scarlet fever, four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are OF this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the germs of
these diseases. that would not otherwise
find Judgement There is little danger,
however, OF any of these diseases being
contracted when good expectorant
cough medicine like Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy is used. 1t cleans out
these culture beds that favor the de-
velopement of the germs Of these dis
eases. That is why this remedy has
proved so universally successful in pre-.
venting pneumonia 1t not only cures
your cold quickly, but minimizes the
risk OF contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by Toledo Drug Co.

HOOKED TROUT; LANDED cow
Humorous Happening to English Die
cipie Of the Immortal
lxaak Walton.

An incident of a somewhat amusing
nature was witnessed a few days ago
near the Cover bridge. Llanrwst.
says the London Field. 1t appears that
visitor armed with rod and line was
plying the gentle art and enticing the
willy trout by insinuating his flies on
the placid surface OF the deep pool
which forms that portion of the Con-
way river.
Above him on a high bank stood a
COW. Suddenly a big trout rose like
a flash and secured one OF the flies.
with the result that the reel imme-
diately began to whirr.
The angler, with galvanic sudden
ness. jumped back and struck. His
unexpected maneuver. however. star
tied the COW. with the result that she
slipped and with a somersault and a
heartrending Moo" fell with a
mighty splash into the pool beneath.
The rod was struck from the
anglers hand and after a few spas
modic movements foated gently down
stream. while the trout. adapting him
self to such favorable opportunity. dis
gorged the indigestible mockery on
the hook and dashed out OF the zone
OF danger and turmoil. The angler.
who had undergone the pleasures Of
generous shower bath, having col
lected his scattered thoughts and con-
vinced himself that he was not i'm
plicated in the throes of violent
earthquake. hurled Il torrent OF theo-
logical terms on the innocent COW.
which was making futile efforts to
regain terra firma
1t soon became evident. however.
that the animal was drowning. so the
angler. with the generosity of his
kind. called for assistance. and ulti-
mately the half-drowned COW was
rescued by means Of ropes. II is an
tieipated that the angler when he
next visits his club in England will
regale the company with "reminiscences
of his fishing exploit in the Conway
when he hooked a trout and landed a
COW.

PROTECT NEW ZEALAND BIRDS
Stringent Laws Found Necessary N
Any Are to Be Saved-killed
by Imported verrin.

Nearly every native bird in New
Zealand will be absolutely protected
by law this year. The animals pro
lection act provides that 1910 and
every third year after that may at the
discretion Of the governor in coun:
ell be declared a closed season for
native game. The absence of bird
life in New Zealand is already most
noticeable. T. Mackenzie. a member
OF the government. as the result OF a
recent journey through the country.
writes
Between Nelson and Hokitlka
hardly any bird life at all is to be
met with: the imported vermin have
done their work OF bird destruction
only too well. In the region from
Ross TO the south. however. the tut
and the pigeon are to be seen making
bright the landscape with their pres
ence.
AT the Forks I met n gentleman
who took n great interest in bird life
on the coast. and he told me that the
weka. kiwi and kawakawa had disap-
peared. and he believed that the
stoats and weasels killed every bird
In the country. He had himself Just
lost half grown black swan which
he had reared. He had found II lying
on it's back with 4 cash in its throat.
The stoats and weasels were often
seen In the neigbborhood of the lakes
where the ducks made their nests. and
It was suspected that the vermin paid
due attention to their eggs"

THAT DISPLAY EDITORIAL

I After reading the two-column
editorial in Wednesdays Booster,
set in black letter display a la
Denver Post, to emphasize the
argument, we presume, we find
ourselves in much the same po-
sition as the Alabama attorney
for the defense when it came his
time to speak in a famous muir
der case. The attorney for the
prosecution had stormed and
raved and tore up the earth with
oratorical bombs and thrown
gems of thought and boquets at
the jury. as he fondly supposed,
Tor two long hours. AS he mop
ped his perspiring brow, and be
slowed his final knowing wink
upon the jury, the council for de-
tense arose and addressed the
Court. "Your Honor: Follow

counsel for the prosecution. de-

THE REFERENDUM

The large experience of our
cities and states with the true ref
erendum appears to establish
some very important generaliza-
tions.
/. As rule much greater dis
elimination is used in voting on
measures than in voting on men.
2. The referendal voting is
largely independent OF party ties
tor the vote on men. Measure
after measure is being voted down
by the same citizens who sustain
Rhe party and re-elect the legis-
lature that proposes these mea-
sures. If it were not for the ref
I1erendum-if the citizens h d
simply compound platforms to
vote for with candidates and party
politics to obscure and overwhelm
the inanimate issue, the people
could not have expressed their
will on the said measure-they
,would have been obliged to en-
sdorse measures they did not want
4 order to elect the men they
Laid want.
: z. Laws passed by legislature
and councils are frequently re-
'jjected by the people. "Represen-
tation" does not represent; or
The Paonia newspaper., 1910-07-22

sentation frequently misrepre'
sents. Legislation by final vote
of the peoples delegates canno,
be relied upon to represent the
peoples will. but on the contrary
may be relied upon to fail in such
representation in large proper
ton of cases, even when the dele
gates are acting honestly. with
the aim of carrying out the wishes
of the people.
4. The acting OF the referendum
is conservative. Changes not sup
dorted by strong reasons are
voted down.
5. Complex m assures an
those not clearly understood are
apt to be defeated.
6. Anything that involves job
or political trick, or is suspected
of being tainted with corruption
or injustice. is voted down on
general principles.
7. There is an automatic self
disfranchisement of the unfit.
The more intelligent and public
spirited citizens take the trouble
to understand the measures pre-
sented for decision and vote upon
them. The ignorant voter and
the bigoted partisan who consti-
tute the curse of the ballot, sus-
taining corrupt machines and
bosses and every political iniquity
are the very ones who ordinarily
care least about a referendum
vote. There are no Offices or
jobs to be won by it; no party
success to be scored by it; what's
the use of voting on it? Lack of
interest, carelessness or lack of
knogledge and a fear that they
might vote in the dark against
their interests eliminates their
vote. to the great publication and
elevation of the ballot. Refer
enda on the liquor and gambling
questions are. of course, excep-
tions. The political slums do
vote in such cases, but the civic
enthusiasm and educational en-
ergy of the better citizens, in
prospect of clear cut vote on
such an issue, generally lifts the
ballot almost or quite as much as
the emission of the slum votes
in ordinary cases.
s. 1t Is clear that Direct Legis-
lation is not only in entire accord
with American feeling and hist
ory. but is deeply imbedded in
our institutions. Both the principle
and the practice of the referen-
dunn are familiar to our people,
and its methods are not only in
constant use in our system of
law-making. but have a monopoly
of considerable space at each
end of the scale of legislation that
is under discussion, and are open
to engagements at the option of
the legislative authorities at all
intermediate points.
Direct legislation is the sole
method used at the top of the
scale in making and amending
state constitutions; and at the
bottom of the scale IN many
states in the legislation of towns
and school districts. In the in
tervening spaces, city, county and
state legislation. the initiative or
referendum or both may be put
in practice whenever and where
ever the Legislators and council
men so desire The only differ
ence is that at the ends. of the
scale the referendum is either
