4 BOON FOR
THE SIGHTLESS
New Magazine for the Blind and How I,
is Printed.

The Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the
Blind is a boon to tie sightless. many of
whom have found their education largely
useless. States educated them to read,
but they had little Of interest to attract
them to reading. The magazines exist
ent were in price in most instances
wholly beyond the average blind person.
In the course of a few years the edu-
Gated blind forgot low to employ their
education. They really forgot how to
read. There have been thousands of
such instances in the United States, and
that became one of the problems with
which the Instructors had to deal. The
blind. of course, read by touch.
Picture a sheet Of heavy paper that
has been run through G. typewriting ma
chine and covered with inkless periods.
Imagine the period key of a typewriter
has been struck again and again, and its
heavy impression in the paper has been
left uninked all over the sheet Turn
the sheet, run over It with your fingers,
and YOU have an idea of page in a mag
azine for the blind
The Matilda Ziegler Magazine con-
tains about so pages. For each page a
brass plate must be prepared. From this
plate on heavy paper dampened to take
the impression OF he arranged points
each page is printed. The plates are
costly and involve labor of infinite pains.
Sometimes they have to be changed
again and again.
There are between $4,000 and $4,000
blind people in the United States. Even
10 cents year. the subscription price of

them. But 10000 take the magazine, and
If Mrs. Ziegier's hopes are realized for

MISSOURI TO TAKE A FIRST
TRY At THE INITIATIVE
BY WILLIAM MARION .REEDY
Editor st. Louis Mirror.

| ceeded the speed limit so far as to
become an insurgent, has tried to
force redistricting of the state
through the initiative.
The democratic secretary of
state refused to receive and certi-
fly the petition, and the supreme
court held that such a matter as
districting the state was for the
Legislature alone, and that the ini-
tiative law did not apply to it.
The most effective part of the
old political machine in Missouri
is the supreme court. 1t invari-
ably plays into the hands of the
democratic gang. But all the
struggle and agitation over initia-
tive and referendum is educating
the voters, and the machine can
not Withstand many more popular
assaults.
At the next general election the
initiative will be invoked for a
new plan of taxation. 1t will
probably be a land value tax"
or as more commonly called, "sin-
| gle tax"
The injection of the liquor
flight has, as usual, tended to con-
fuse the issue and prevent the
lines being squarely drawn. This
confusion makes it uncertain
whether the progressive demo-
Gratis will be able to defeat David
r. Francis for the senatorial nom
ination on the democratic side.
He is a broker in grain and
stocks, a banker, railroad man,
and generally plutocratic in his
associations. His opponent is Jas.
A. Reed, ex-mayor of Kansas City,
an eloquent lawyer. Mr.. Reed is
not exactly so antagonistic to
Francis in his views as to make
progressives enthusiastic for him.
Francis was mayor of st. Louis
and governor of Missouri. He be-
came Cleveland's secretary of the
interior when Hoke Smith resign
ed to support Bryan. Francis
supported Palmer and Buckner.
The democrats believe they
will have "walk-over" because
of the disaffection of republican
Under cover of this
reaction democracy hopes to re-
gain its grip, but to do so they
are compelled to at least make
profession of progressive prin-
ciples. This ceremony will be
performed when the democratic
candidates and committeeman
meet and indorse Folk as candi-
date for president. They don't
want to do it, but they will be-
cause they don't dare refuse.
For the voters of Missouri feel
that way about it.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13.-Missouri
will make her first trial of the
initiative and referendum this
fall. The initiative can only be
brought into action by petition
signed by at least per cent of
the voters in at least two-thirds
of the congressional districts of
the state.
For years rural Missouri has
struggled with the liquor influ-
ence in the legislature, but with
out getting forward. So the pro-
hibition people have invoked the
initiative. The liquor people will
contest the validity of the sigma
lures and later take the whole
initiative and referendum machin-
cry into the court-the Missouri
supreme court being the fair ha-
ven steered for.
Alumni of the state university
quickly seized the initiative tC
provide a fair income for the uni
versity by making permanent
tax levy.
An effort is being made to in
woke the initiative so as to provide
for a fairer redistricting of the
state for congressman. AS it
stands now, with the state almost
on a balance between the republi-
can and democratic parties, the
democrats, by disgraceful gerry
control Is out of 16 con-

THE INITIATIVE

The Initiative" Is a
method for the voters to
make their own laws.
When the legislature neg
lects or refuses to pass
given law, the initiative is
invoked.
A certain percentage of
voters sign petition for
the submission of a law and
at the next general election
the people vote for or
against the law just as they
do for candidates for office.
If a majority vote for the
law that settles the matter
and the law goes on the
books. If a majority vote
against it it is dead.
The initiative is cordially
hated by people who spend
money at state capitals to
