That the initiative and referendum
Will work as club both for and
against the people and the corporations
unless the people are always alert Is
shown in two events that are trans
piring in Colorado today. The bankers
are referring the entire banking law
passed by the last assembly to the
people. The school teachers are refer
ring the school law to the people. The
claim is made that the banking law
is just what the people wanted, while
the school law is trust law for the
benefit of preferred few and against
the country school teacher. The
bankers are employing men to circulate
their petitions and already have a suf-
ficient number of signatures. The
school teachers are compelled to de-
pend on public sentiment and volunteer
work to get their law referred and are
about to fail. If they do fail in its
reference the result will be the tying
up for two years by the bankers of a
claimed good law with a reasonable
show for its final defeat, and the fail
ure to stop claimed bad law from
becoming operative. Thus, it will be
seen that, after all, the securing of
proper government depends, not so
much on the statute or the constitution
as upon the interest taken by the peo-
Pile in governmental affairs.

ADVERTISING TALKS.

I
The time is coming when it
will be misdemeanor to mis-
label or misrepresent anything
that is offered for sale to the
public.
A young man called in my
office the other day, and while
discussing this subject, pointed
out that under the Pure Food
and Drug Law it is illegal to
adulterate or misrepresent BO-
RAX.
Borax is a product of nature,
possessing certain medical and
cleansing properties. 1t can be
bought in the open market the
same as salt.
An investigation, so he tells
me, has proved that out of
forty-three different brands of
socalled borax soaps and borax
washing powders that were
chemically analysed, nineteen
were found to contain NO
BORAX WHATEVER; seven
teen, less than one per cent. of
borax; six, less than three per
cent. of borax, and ONLY ONE
CONTAINED SUFFICIENT
BORAX TO HAVE ANY Eff
Feet.
1t would seem as though there
was NEED TO CREATE SOME
LAW, classified under some
other name, THAT WILL PRE-
VENT the MISLABELING or
MISUNDERSTANDING of other
commodities than those defined
under the Pure Food and Drug
Law.
Everything that is sold COM
mercially should come under a
general law that will protect the
public from fraud.

The game which was to have been
played yesterday was called off by the
Kaws en- route. President Woodward q
was with the team on the western trip
and when the Rock Island conductor
told them out at Belleville that the
train would reach Topeka about two
hours late, he and Manager Rickert
decided the game could not be played
and telegraphed the Pueblo team
which had already arrived from Lin
made up most of it's lost time before
reaching Topeka and the Kaws were
only about 20 minutes late.
1t was just about time for the
crowds to go to the park when the
Pueblo men saw the Kaws on the
| streets They imm ediately suited up
and rode out to the ball lot. The car
4 company ran no cars. to the park,
| however, and no fans were misfed
| The Pueblo men insisted that other
| teams arrived here several times as
late as the Kaws did yesterday and
game Manager Rickert had tele-
graphed President Tip O'Neill, how
ever, that there would be no game De
cause of their late arrival, and 1t is
not expected that the Pueblo claim of
forfeit will have weight.
An amusing circumstance was con-
nected with Woodward's trip to the
Pueblo and Denver series which was
not known until the return of the
players. Chick Edmiston had preced-
! ed the team to Hutchinson, his old
stamping ground, to do some visiting
and was to meet the KaW train and
board it. He was sleeping soundly in
the Hutchinson depot when the train
went through. Chick had all the Kaw
practice balls. Manager Rickert's s
shoes som ebOdy's glove and what not
in his grip. But besides losing these,
the Kaws also lost q shortstop. And
Chick had gone to Hutchinson without
enough money to get out. He got on
the wires. The team wired him to send
the balls and paraphernalia and go
hang, but President Woodward started
| from Topeka and rescued him. Chap
man performed at short in Edmis-
| tons absence.
The Kaws have a lot of compliments
for Umpire Shoemaker. They say
| among other things that a blind man
couldn't miss more balls and strikes
and that his first base decision in Den
/ yer was the rankest mistake ever
passed out by an umpire.
The HopefuIs fell back three points
yesterday in the chase of the Kaws.
There was a reason.
! The PuebIos say the Lopes thought
to slip them a little package in three
games on Labor day. But the boys
from little Pittsburg took two of the
games and refused the lemon. They
say there were only 1900 people at the
three games
The mountain trip just finished by
the Kaws was one of the greatest
financial successes of the season. That
was due largely to the 1000 attend
ance at Denver Monday. There is little
/ left for the Kaws to play for except
the money.
It's a great year for New York and
Philadelphia. Looks like each city
would have a pennant and their other
teams are plugging away up near the
front.

President Roosevelt, Ambassador
Bryce, of Great Britain; Speaker Clark,
Senator Root, of New York; Governor
Crothers, of Maryland; former Speaker
Cannon and Mayor Preston, of Balti-

them spoke in praise of him.
Among the 600 guests seated Oh the
platform behind the President, the car
dinal and the other speakers were more
than a score of senators and members
of the House of Representatives. Prob
ably a more distinguished gathering
was never held in this country outside

eminent came pretty near to a stop
while those who sit in charge over
them paid honor to the cardinal. The

say, and it was crowded to the doors.

that greeted Mr., Roosevelt as he came
upon the stage with Chief Justice White
was remarkable, but that which greet
ed the cardinal as he climbed the stairs
with President Taft was far more re-

The cardinal wore the red robe, the

ring of office. Through all the speeches
he sat smiling. every changing express

and his bright eyes attesting to the
pleasured that this tribute afforded

He smiled happily when President
Taft introduced him to Mr.. Roosevelt;
