THE INITIATIVE
 AND REFERENDUM

As this matter is to be voted on by the voters at the Septem- Der election in what is known as Amendment No 10, and as the people, who, generally, want to do right and what is best for the country, we give below a length ly extract from a speech made by Attorney-General Hal Nor wood, recently, at Mena, Ark, on the subject. As MT. Nor wood is the Law officer of the State, his words on a legal question should be read with much interest:
 It probably would have been T ore expedient for me to have d clined to discussed the amend ment,, since 1 do not favor it's adoption in it's present form. My remarks may cause the antago- nism of some who favor it, but it would be political cowardice on my part to refuse to fairly discuss the matter.
 It is perfectly clear that if the amendment is adopted eight per cent of the voters of any munici- pality or of any county or of the

the construction being placed upon it is wrong because it is the construction of lawyers. Argument ceases here. The court that will finally construe it is composed of lawyers lawyers who are gov erned by the same long established rules of con- struction as other lawyers.
 It is said if Amendment No. 10 is adopted you can get what you want yes, and a whole lot you don't want.

SC6tc Couiu propose law or an amendment to the constitution and 5 per could refer to a vote of the people any law passed by the legislature.
 1 presume that the court would hold that no law could be passed that is now prohibited by the constitution, but if the amendment is adopted it will be as easy to amend the constitu- tion as 1t is to make a law. To illustrate: Under the constitu- ton, Mena cannot now issue any interest-bearing evidences of indebtness, but with amend ment No 10 in force. 8 per cent 'of the voters of Mena may pro- pose to exempt Mena from the present constitutional inhibition, and if majority of the people of Mena voted for the amend ment it would be adopted and then the City Council could issue bonds without let or hindrance. Polk county cannot now issue bonds, but 8 per cent of the voters of this county could cause to be submitted to the voters of the county an amendment to the constitution permitting Polk county to issue bonds. Upon it's adoption py majority of the votes of Polk county, bonds could be issued. All kinds and manner of propositions may be submitted.
 Eight percent of the voters of this county might propose an amendment to the constitution authorizing the County Court to issue $l00, GOO in bonds for the purpose of building good roads and authorize the collection of certain sum per acre on the real estate of this county each year for the payment of the bonds.
 But you say the people would have a right to vote on this matter. Yes, and would likely vote for it. 1 haven't qnite an acre of land here. Under the present system have to pay my road tax and street tax. It would be to my interest to vote for system that would exempt me from it's burdens. Any law will be valid that does not violate the constitution. If a maj ority of us in this county prefer to throw the burden of all internal improvements and expenses of the county government upon the farmers of the county we can do so by exempting Polk county from the limitations of the con- stitution. 1 want to see good roads and paved streets, but be- fore we destroy the safeguards and limitations upon the authori- ty of cities and counties to issue bonds-wise provisions incorpo rated in the constitution of 1874 by the able men who wrote t-1 want to see provisions adopted. that at least two people who favor it can agree on what it means and that the meaning be in accord with tbe plain langu- age of the amendment.
 1 believe in the people. 1 also believe in the constitutional government. Majority should rule, but such authority should be limited by constitution. de- liberately and carefully prepared and adopted by the whole peo- pie of the state. A Constitution should have more binding force than an ordinary statute. The people of a town or a county should not be given authority to exempt themselves from a con- stitution adopted by all the voters of the state.

EVIL SPEAKING.

Keep clear of personalities in con.
yersation. Talk of things, objects,
thoughts The smallest minds occupy
themselves with persons. AS far as
possible, dwell on the good side of
human beings. There are family
boards where constant process of
depreciating, assigning motives aud
cutting up character goes forward.
They are not pleasant places. One
who is healthy does not wish to dine

enough in man, God knows. But it is
not the mission of every young man
and woman TO detail and report it all.

YoM kIPPUR ADDRESS
Delivered by Sol. Shoenmann at Temple
Beth Israel.

Beth Israel
Ladies and Gentlemen
We, as a congregation, have many
things upon which to pride ourselves,
as we'll as much to be thankful for.
A glance at this magnificent structure,
of which we are so proud, is only a sin
gle step of that advancement. We
have improved in so many ways as
Jewish community that l would surely
tire you were | to enumerate them.
Yes, we have been steadily advancing,
but we must not stop until we have
reached the pinnacle of perfection.
Many things yet remain undone. In
Longfellow's Evangeline he says The
poor We always have with you" While
we have been looking toward our own
comfort and welfare, what have we
done for our unfortunate co-religionists
who are continually and will be for
ever calling on us for aid? The only
advance along this line we have made
is the Organization about ten years ago
of the Mems Benevolent Association
Since then Houston has almost doubled
in population and our congregation
has increased three-fold, but our char
tiles remain at stand-still, with the
exception of slight increase in the
membership as we'll as slight but in
sufficient increase in their financial in
come. However, do not want to lose
sight of the fact that an endowment
fund of ten thousand dollars, known as
the Adeline j. Levy Memorial Fund,
has lately been founded, to be used,
as understand in cases of emergency
This is, indeed, commendable, and will
cause the name of that good woman to
live forever in the hearts of the Jews
Of Houston This fund can and will
help many poor unfortunate. May
Others of this city follow the excellent
example of this splendid and thorough
ly Jewish idea
But with all of our good intentions
and all of our present charities, we
are travelling on the wrong track. A
straight line is the shortest distance
between given points, In the manage
ment and distribution of our charities
at present, we are going the longest
way around Please do not misunder-

life to him. He expended all the fer
vor of a passionate nature on his at
tachment to this Jewish girl And she,
young and impressionable herself,
his sincere affection. During the
stormy period at home, she had con-
fided in him as much as she could
make out of the cause of the
chickering's between her parents.
He offered what sympathy he could
with what he understood was disa-
greeable to her, but he nevertheless
gathered encouragement from this
very source. Now, Bess, don't you
see that your father thinks as l do
about religious differences he asked
with eyes sparkling with renewed hope
for the success of his suit 1T doesn't
matter what religion we profess, as
long as we behave ourselves. There
are bigger scoundrels right under the
wing of the church than there are out
of it. And you know yourself, we are
both extremely fit to marry, loving
each other as we do For Gods sake,
don't let religious matters ruin our
lives. Bess, you can feel that my love
for you is no make-believe, no sham.
1t fills my life to the exclusion of all"
And to this pleading she turned no
deaf ear, but let her heart answer as
he wished it should.

the household, subtle, but neverthe-
less sure. The dresses for the girls
and suits for the boy were not as eX-
pensive as in past years. Mrs. Har-
ris, instead of buying new spring
silk, had dyed and turned her last
years dress. Also in the matter of
a strapping Irish girl for three dollars
for the week, instead of paying one
dollar per day to the colored woman,
who usually did the family washing
The children were forced, after school,
to do all they could. After the great
est portion of the cleaning was fin
1shed, Mrs. Harris enjoined them
against having the least scrap of
bread enter the clean rooms. She
seemed so thoroughly in earnest that
they feared to disobey her, or to re-
mark the strange occurrence to their
father, who seemed entirely oblivious
to everything but his meals and his
business. He even forgot about his
wife's nagging for change from
"trefa" TO kosher"
The day before Pesach, dinner was
served in the spotless kitchen. Mrs.
Harris had hidden the Matzos, which
had arrived several days ago. Pota-
toes were served in many appetizing
ways, so that the usual bread was not
missed At dinner, Mrs. Harris re-
marked: "The reason | didn't serve

in this arrangement and went back tc

usual, the other children returning tc

with intense interest, promising to
come over the next day and see how
Mrs Harris had carried out her plans.
and from now on, that | have the
two sets of kosher dishes, you may
believe me l am going to keep 'kosh
err" Her sister-in-law kissed her with
affectionate encouragement and said
The reason he objected to keeping
kosher again was that the change
really did mean so much expense,
you'll admit. There were the three
different kinds of dishes to buy, of
which | had to get plenty of each
kind, because he isn't like most men,
but likes completely set table, with
no stinginess about dishes, Keeping
trefa, one set was enough for all pur-
poses, although we never did eat meat
and milk at one meal. If it wasn't
for David's quick temper I wouldn't
complain" she finished with sigh.
20, yes, l remember his temper,
too" said the absent mans sister, dis
paragingly. IF everything goes we'll,
you have little heaven, I suppose;
but let something come up to upset
him, and he can give you whole lot
of the other thing. Well, hope every
thing will come out as your heart
wishes, dear, and We'll come over to-
morrow.
With her spirits somewhat dampen-
ed, Mrs. Harris hurried home and went
to cooking. The children, on their re-
turn from school, reveled in the I'M
usual fragrance of the steam coming
from the many vessels on the shining
stove. They were finally taken into
their mothers confidence and their
youthful eXuberance of joy soon re-
stored Mrs. Harris to her old state
of content and elation.
Bessie came later. She had cut
shorter than usual the walk she al
ways took with Roy Winthrop after
work on the plea that her mother
needed her help in preparing for the
Jewish Easter" Much disgruntled
and begging her to make it up to him
the next day, which she promised, he
pressed her hand very hard between

go. She had become as the breath of
