to enter and leave the shops under

NATIONAL SECRETS
NAVAL AND MILITARY

If my friends, who kindly
look for my articles in the Signal
shall hold views differing from
mine, feel assured that we shall
differ chiefly in regard to the
punishment that should be given
to spies in time of peace, and not
in time of war. 1t is doubtful If
/ have discussed in the Signal any
subject so important as the one
/ have chosen for this secession.
If in the course of this paper, !
shall feel constrained TO condemn
the careless, good natured, but
very dangerous policy pursued
by our government since the final
peace with Great Britain, it gives
me great pleasure to say that dur
ing the revolutionary war our
II Lv government pursued a pol
icy, characterized by great wis
dom, frmnhss and justice.
In all ourwars, we have not had
so notable aicase as that of Major
Andre. The rank, education and
brilliant accomplishments of Ma
ior Andre gained, and perhaps
entitled him to the sympathy of
the world. but the information
that Andre had acquired-the
pitiful smallness of the little band
of patriots called Washington s
army-their half clad, half starry

Referendum Unconstitutional

declared by the court of criminal
appeals in the J. f. Fainsworth

Justice Davidson. presiding Judge

trary "shall be void"
Judge Davidson holds that the
Initiative" may be constitution
al when used as right of pc
tition." But not so with the ref
erendum, as the constitution does
not confer upon the Legislature
the power to put in effect the OPP
Grafton of the referendum.
He declares that Legislation can
not be referred to the people for
enactment by their vote. lie
says the referendum was first
held unconstitutional in the
Swisher case in 1856.
Judge Davidson says the only
instances where the referendum
can be used are in local option
cases and in matters where the
citizens vote TO prevent stock
from running at large, which are
especially provided for in the con
stitution.
j. Il. Farnsworth, the relator,
is discharged in both eases.
It is believed here that Judge
Davidson s opinion is slightly in
conflict with Chief Justice
sssewa s. opinion IN the s@preme
court. Judge Brown held that
the Dallas ordinance was void,
saying that city had no right
to pass ordinances by referendum
vote, especially when applied to
xfing rates, fares, etc.
lie said, however, there is moth
ing in the constitution which pre-
vents city from submitting 9th
er matters by the initiative and
referendum.
Judge Davidson goes further
by holding the referendum is en-
tirely unconstitutional. The court
follows closely the argument put

SWALLOWING LAND.

When | was a lad, living only few
miles from the Missouri river, used
to watch that stream during the spring
floods to see it eating away the land
on either side. | have seen whole
farms disappear in an hour One night
a party of us boys were camping out
near the old river. We went to sleep
on the east bank of the stream and
woke up on the west bank. During
the night the river had cut across a
low place east of us and changed its
channel In doing so it had swallow
cd up hundreds of acres of land de-
posted two or three feet of sand on
hundreds of other acres, and made
citizens of Missouri over into citizens
of Kansas.
AS | started out to say, | used to
think the old Missouri could swallow
land at greater rate than any other
institution. But now comes my good
friend Senator w. r. Patrick of Sarpy
county, Nebdaska, with a story of a
land swallower that has the Missouri
river backed off the boards and YELL
ing for help.
An acres of land contains 1850
square feet. At $43.56 an acres that is
just mill per square foot. Then my
friend Patrick proceeds to figure that
every time man pays is cents for
drink of booze, and that is the stand
ard price, he is swallowing a 150-foot
patch. If you invite four
friends to drink with you the FIVE
swallow a 750-food garden patch. An
spree win swallow good |
sized pasture. If you are a moderate
drinker" and consume only three |
drinks a day you swallow $3.50 square
feet of land per year. That means
that YOU have swallowed in a year a
bit over thirty-seven acres of good
land in the last ten years. Now, stop
and figure out how many acres of land
old King Booze is swallowing every
year in this country or ours. and you'll
realize that as land swallower the
Missouri river is in the amateur class.
I'm reminded of the story of the
man who went to a doctor and said: /
Doctor, look at my throat"
The doctor did so and said: Il see
a very badly infamed condition. sir"
i should think you would" said
the man. 1--WE sent $50 acres of good
land, fifty head of cattle, four spans
Of horses, a good house and barn and /,
lot of outbuildings down that throat

The bankers who oppose the guar
anty of deposits say that it is unfair
to make good banks pay the depositors
of bad banks. This is a strange rea-
son for banker to advance. Does
the banker think it unfair to make a
good farmer pay the lebt of his in
solvent neighbor? Why does a bank
require security if it is unfair to make
one man pay another mans debt?
Many man has been driven into bank
ruptcy by the failure of some friend
for whom he went security as mat
ter of accommodation and without
consideration Why should bankers
refuse to go each others security?
The banker who is willing to grow rich
out of banking and yet refuses to pro-
test depositors from loss may be call
ed honest for a few years yet but no
longer. Honesty requires guaranty of
depositors, and some day the mankers
will insist upon such protection to de-
positors as win make a certificate of
deposit as good as a government bond.
