It Is Merely progressive. "

The California Legislature has
adjourned with the greatest rec
ord Of reform Legislation ever
made by Legislative body at a
single sitting. And the aston
ishing thing about it is that the
Legislation is only progressive -
Only so short a time as a de
cadc ago it would have been so
cialistic. " populistic.' ultra
RADICAL" and even destructive
Of the principles OF our govern
ment." That was what used to
be said about it by both Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike A
few Il very few still say it, but
the MASSES Of those who vote the
Democratic and Republican tick
cts and still lay claim to those
party designations. have come to
accept and believe in most of
those once abhOrred measures,
so that now they are simply
progressive"
Here are some of the things
done by the California law max
ers. They have submitted con-
StitutiOnal amendments provid-
ing for the initiative, referendum
and recall, including the judici-
ary, also extending the powers
Of the railroad commission over
all public utilities corporations,
also amendments aboliShing the
party designation on ballots and
providing for nOnpartiSan-
is horrible-election of judges
and the State Superintendent Of
Education. also for woman suf-
frage. and for eliminating tech
nical errors as ground for re-
versal in criminal cases.
Bills were passed extending
the powers of the Railroad Com
mission and providing for "a
physical valuation of all railroads
in the state, penalizing the roads
for failure to carry full train
crews, limiting the hours of la
Dor for women to 5 4 day and IS
a week. thus doing better than
we did in Missouri. adopting the
Oregon primary law. which up
sets political bosses more com
pletely than any other. and law
against betting.
These are merely some. not
all. But they are enough to
show how fast We have been
travelling the past few years in
the direction OF popular govern
ment and effective participation
in it by the people direct, instead
of through misrepresentation
and bosses. And it is no longer
'subver>ive of our cherished in
stitutions. 1t is merely pro
gressive. st. Louis Star.

Correct Way to Keep the Piano Pol
ished.

The sOftest possible dustel
should be used for the piano. 4
feather duster makes tiny
scratches. and a piece of cheese
cloth about a yard square-cut
| it: don't tear it-bOiled to remove
all sizing, is best. Don't wash il
or discard it when it is soiled: it
is all the better.
If the varnish blooms the cause
is dampneSs or lack Of yentila-
ton. Bloom is the name for the
opaque film which sometimes
forms over tine varnish.
Fresh air and sunlight may re
move it but washing may be nee
essary. If SO. use 4 fine, soft
sponge, with luke warm water.
Wash the piano carefully and dry
it with the right side of d gen
uine chamois, soaked in water
and wrung out just so it will net
drip; little practice will give the
trick.
Most polisles for sale in stores
are unsafe. Vinegar or acid in
them may eat out the life of the
Oil and cause cracks which will
not appear until months later.
The best way is to get a first
class polisher to polish the piano,
if it really needs it.
If you must polish it yourself,
use a little linseed oil, diluted
with turpentine.

England and the United States
are negotiating a treaty by which
it is intended to dispell forever
all possibility of these two coun-
tries going to war again. If the
treaty is adopted all disputes be
tween them are to be settled by
arbitration. This will be a long
step towards universal peace be
tween the civilized nations of the
earth, though it may not lead to
an early general disarmament.
Until all the nations have been
raised to high standard Of civi-
lization those at the top must
keep a protective defense against
the despoiling barbarian.

The last session of the Mis-
souri, general assembly made
some precedents-which may
not be established-that were re-
markable for an assumption OF
power by the Democratic MAORI
ty that ruled the body. 1t made
an appropriation of $4,000 for
the support of the Game War
den's department, but stipulated
that none of the money should be
available to the man who now
holds the Office of Game Warden.
1t made an appropriation for a
waterway commission and then
selected the man, a Democrat,
who was to receive most of the
money as salary and fees. Had
a Republican Legislature gone tt
such partisan lengths, our Dem
ocratic friends would be sound
ing a call to arms.

Congressman Hensley, it is al
legged, has stated that unless the
big lead producing corporations
in his district can prove to him
by their books that they are not
making excessive profits under
the present lead schedule, he
will endeavor to have the tariff
on lead reduced. We don't see
why Mr.. Hensley makes that
stipulation, he is pledged by his
party platform and his own at
terances during the campaign, to
vote for a general reduction of
duties. He should not hesitate
at lead or any product, for that
matter, of the district he repre-
sents. Give 'em free lead. Many

and we want to see Hensley 5

Two great events happened this
week which will bring more faith and
hope than ever to those who believe
IN, the ultimate common sense of the
American people. One was the
spl ndld victory over boss rule
achieved IN the election of James
MARITIME as U. $. senator in corpora
tion-r ridden New Jersey. The victory
1s triumph for Governor Woodrow
Wilson, and his fearlessness in defying
the gangsters and defeating ex-senator
Smith by appealing to the best
instincts Of the peope of New Jersey,
Will increase the respect and admira-
ton he has already won. Senator
MARITIME is staunch friend of Bryan
and believes in progressive democracy.
Wilson has done what q governor
who is a real leader should do-arouse,
the people to a sense OF the right
thing to do. The people of New
Jersey, aroused by the courageous
leader, demanded justice of the legis-
lature, and the power OF the corporate
bosses and their corrupt allies Melted
like wax. 1t was splendid day fol
New Jersey and for the country. The
other great event was the election by
the democratic legislature of Nevada
OF republican U. s. senator. The
people in the senatorial primaries
registered their VIII in favor of the
republican and legislature controlled
by another party obeyed the peoples
will. 1t was the Oregon spectacle with

The St, Cloud Times THINKS the two
strong and able Judges the Seventh
district now has, can do all the work
and another Judge il not needed, nor
does it favor the idea of dividing the
district. We would favor dividing SO
far az Morrison county is concerned
rather than being made the tail to the
Fifteenth district. for which purpose a
bill has been introduced. The argu-.
ment is that the fifteenth district, hav-
ing three judges, can easily care for
another county, and that it would be
cheaper. than to have q third judge in
the Seventh district. As matter Of
fact, there was no more need for three
judges IN the Fifteenth district than
there is. for q dog to have two tails. II
the Fifteenth district needs three
Judges, the Seventh needs four. We do
not see any particular reason for Nor
rison county to be attached to the
Grow Wing. Beltrami district. It
would mean that for years to come the
prospects of Morrison county ever
getting q Judge would be as good as the
life of cake of ice in Pluto's King
DOM Remaining in the Seventh, there
would be some prospect of this kind.
The bar Of the county IS divided, q
number of the lawyers. although sign
ing the petition, are not favorable to
the proposed change. But this is not
a matter for the bar only to decide,
THE VIEWS OF THE PEOPLE
SHOULD GOVERN. Poor train service
and extra expense would accrue to the
lltigants.. It is claimed that few
lawyers feel that the change would
cause moro business for them and less
for the st. Cloud lawyers. There is
nothing to prevent people going to the
able legal gentlemen at st. Cloud if
they wish, no matter the number of
the district. The St. Cloud. lawyers
have tor over forty years had large
practice in neighboring counties. If
that is because the judges home has
been there, what advantage would
there be to local lawyers to have the
Brainerd lawyers. also able and estim-
able, build up practice at their
expense. It would hardly seem that
anyone would advance such an argu-
ment seriously. 1t there is anything
to 1t, the thing to- do is to endeavor
to so order things that Morrison
county may ultimately have a judge,
instead of throwing away the posi-
blllty. ,..-. q
