Clark as Leader.

Champ Clark shines as minority
leader. He handled the FIGHT on
Cannon and the Republican majority
with great skill and by keeping in
the background is much as posi-
BILE did not allow the fight to be-
come a Democratic 'and Republican
contest which could have but one
ending,
Mr.. Burleson, of Texas, however,
butted in. He offered a resolution
declaring the Speakership vacant.
This instantly tended to close up the
Republican ranks. The Insurgents
changed about face and voted for
Cannon Just as Clark knew they
would do if the test became too
severe. The Burleson blunder, how
ever, is not without its value, 1t
showed the country that it must not
expect too much from the insurgents.
They are, as a rule, Republicans with
axes to grind. Just as soon as they
get what they want they are back in
line, and Clark fully understood this,
The sudden change by the insurgents
shows that the only way to get rid of
Cannonism is to get rid of all brands
of Republicanism. Springfield Lead

CRYING FOR HELP.
Lots of it in Butler But Daily
Growing Less.

The kidneys cry for help,
Not an organ in the whole body so
delicately constructed,
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters OF the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood,
Backache is one of the first indica-
tons of kidney trouble.
1t is the kidneys cry for help.
Heed it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and mvigorate the
kidneys; help them to do their work;
never fail to cure any case OF kidney
disease.

If You Don't Know
Principles and Men.

Defending the failure of Repuhh- /
can insurgents to aid in ousting Mr.. .
Cannon from the speakers chair, the
Lincoln, Neb,, Journal, republican,
says;
"The degree in which men Sepa-
rate principles from persons is one of
the best of all tests of their civiliza-
ton. Only savages massacre a de-
feated army. 1t is tenet OF our re-
ligion to hate the sin but love the
sinner. One of the most inspiring
sights ever presented by the Ameri-
can congress is the calmuess follow
ing last week storm, the capacity
those men show to differ radically in
view and interest and yet associate in
calm good temper, and ne'cr present
their injuries to their heart, to bring
it into danger,
1t is all very well to separate prin-
ciples from persons but if we are to
bring about the establishment of a
particular principle in public affairs
we do not give the administration OF
those affairs into the hands of men
, violently opposed to that principle.
The journal draws a beautiful picture
of the capacity of the CannoniteS and
-CannoniteS in the Republican
party 'to differ radically in view and
} interest and yet associate in calm,
good temper" That notion is moi
borne out by the attitude of Mr.. Can
non and his followers or, for instance
by the speakers address before the
Illinois association. When it came t
the nomination of new rules com

Burglar Kills Woman Because
She Screams.

Springfield, Mass, April.-Miss
Martha B. Blackstone was murdered
by masked burglar in the home OF
Mrs. Sarah j. Dow at Round Hill.
Miss Harriet Dow, daughter OF the
house, was shot in the head and is
dying. The murderer escaped.
Mrs. Dow, her two daughters and
Miss Blackstone, who was guest for
the night, were seated in the living
room of the home, when the intruder
made a demand for money from the
dining room. Mrs. Dow retained her
composure and replied: I'VE have
no money!" but Miss Blackstone in
fright jumped to her feet and ran
screaming into reception room.
The burglar said, "lf you want to be
killed keep on screaming, " and fired
as he spoke, the bullet entering Miss
Blackstone's left breast. Death fol-
lowed instantly.
The murderer hardly paused to see
his victim fall before he turned the
revolver on the group, shooting Miss
Harriet Dow in the head. He then
ran to the front door, leaped over
the piazza railing and disappeared.
Both Miss Blackstone and Miss
Dow were teachers in the public
schools.

that of securing the enactment of
Public Utilities Commission
with power and facilities to regu-
late railroad. express, and tele-
phone companies, and a direct
primary law, the investment will
pay. And much of this expense
is needless; was made necessary
by law to arouse opposition to the
amendment, and can be greatly
lessened by law like that of
Oregon. People can regulate
these expenses when they have
power to make their own laws
A good government honestly
administered is the best kind of
business asset. 1t may be neces-
sarily expensive, but it may be
said that any expense. if it in
sured good government. would be
cheap when compared to the ex-
pense of a government run by the
Special Privilege Interests. whose
exactions, free passes. evasions
of taxation. campaign funds. dis
ordinations. franchise grabs and
looting raids are all in the end
paid for by the people.

THE INITIATIVE AND
REFERENDUM AMENDMENT
ARE YOU FOR 1T OR AGAINST 1T?

destroys all opportunity Tor de-
liberation in legislation. Against
this it may be charged truthfully
that while the legislature of Colo
RADIO is in theory a deliberative
legislative body. in practice and
in fact it is a receiver of orders
from and a maker OF laws drafted
by private business interests. 1t
can also be answered that if the
legislature in its several recent
assemblies had enacted in a de
Lucrative. careful manner. honest
and effective laws which a vast
majority of the people demanded.
it is probable that no. general de-
mand would have arisen and GER
tainly no need would have been
pressing for this proposed amend
ment. The fact that we have not
had a representative law making
body responsive to public opinion
is father to demand for Initiative
and Referendum.
The argument that this pro-
posed amendment will substitute
the rule of the minority for gov
ernment by the majority ought to
receive scant consideration in the
minds of a people whose legisla-
tive assemblies for. years have
treated public opinion with Con-
tempt.
The argument that it is revolu-
tionary. or that it threatens the
stability of our government can
only be advanced upon the theory
the people as a whole cannot be
trusted to formulate or pass upon
proposed laws and Constitutional
amendments with intelligence.
discretion or fairness But to
suppose that the people will no,
act with as much intelligence. dis
cretion and fairness as our recent
assemblies have. or that they will
not act with more independence
of improper influences than re-
cent assemblies have acted. is
equivalent to an indictment of
the integri,r OF majority OF our
citizens. whose will and determi-
nation is supposed and intended
under a republican form of gov
crnment to prevail
II our system of government, If
our laws and constitutions. are
based upon the will and consent
OF the people We should have
some constitutional provisions by
which the will of a majority can
be ascertained and made effective.
This is the end sought by the pro-
posed Initiative and Referendum
amendment.
If political parties and public
officials should recognize no au-
thority higher than definitely ex-
pressed public opinion. the disre-
gard of that publi- opinion by
political parties and public of
hcials in Colorado has been more
revolutionary in its character.
more expensive, and more de-
structive of stability. than any
proposed law or Constitutional
amendment thus far suggested.
The fact is that the only real
objection raised to the Initiative
and Referendum amendment is
that its operation will be cxpen-
sive, but it is sufficient answer to
that charge to say that il it never
serves any other purpose than

First:-The right to draft and
