1NHE Senate committee on elections has had one of the hardest
jobs ever assigned to a Legislative committee in putting the
Record-Geran bill in ineligible shape. The committee has
worked on the bill ever since it came from the House and was com.
PEELED 10 call in the author of the bill, George L. Record, who spent
many hours in guiding the bewildered committeeman through it's
labyrinth of involved and confusing provisions, Before the Senate
received the bill IL had been puzzled over for twelve weeks by its
sponsors. and then II went TO the Assembly in such shape that con
fession was made of serious defects. If the bill had been passed
~ the Senate as it came from the House the attorney general would
have been compelled 70 advise an executive veto. And yet il, was
in exactly this shape that the bill was sent to the Legislature as
an ulimatum to be enacted without change.

their trust much more so than in the
past.
The initiative and referendum gives
the people the right to initiate any new
law that they may see fit, inaugurate
any new reform and wipe out any old
undesirable law.
Giving the mayor no veto power
makes it altogether an almost ideal
democratic form of city government,
and will undoubtedly correct most o.
the evils hat we are hboring under
now.
Hoping TO see it pass, l close with
the wish that you may find room for
this in your columns.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
1t may be a bit early. but on behalf
of the many thousands employed in
the department stores I wish to call
the attention of the heads of the firms
to the question of the Saturday after
noon holiday. II seems that for the
las few years the employers have
been very good and given their EN-
ployees a half holiday each week. fol
which all have been very thankful,
Now, while the warm weather Is still
a few weeks off. let them prepare for
the same little pleasure that has been
accorded their workers in the past.

Boston woman's Club and Liquor.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
With great surprise do 1 read in
your paper that the fashionable
woman's Chiffon Club, of Boston, has
petitioned the Excise Board for a Ii
eense to sell s%pirituous liquor. 1t seems
very improper, as far as 1 al see, for
any organization composed entirely Of
women to ask such a privilege. 1t is NJ
secret that the organization, too, per-
mits the sale of cigarettes. 1t is stated
that the stewardess carries of the
best stocks Containing all brands) in
the city of Boston.
When several of the women VINO
favored this project were asked their
reasons for the license they said:
1--WE are in the habit of giving BAN
quets, and as a rule serve wine. III
this We need a license if We wish to
abide by the avs of the State. We do
not intend to sit around slipping high
balls, as is done in mems clubs.'
/ trust that no organization OF
women in our town will ask such a
favor of the excise officials.

Indian Slayer Acquitted
 By Jury in the Box

Fairbanks, April 2-For the first time in the history of practice before the district courts of Fairbanks, a jury last night brought in verdict of mot guilty" without leaving their seats in the jurybox, thus completely exonera- ting Emil Maurer of the serious charge of manslaughter, upon which he was tried. The verdict is in accord with the earlier findings of the coroner's jury, which, by a majority vote only, found that the killing of the Nenana native, Nagita, was justifiable homi- eide.
 Arguments in the case and the in structions of the court occupied the time until lO:3O, when the jury prompt ly voted "not guilty" The decision has met with hearty approval about town, the consensus of opinion being that Maurer was merely defending his family and property.
