California's Amendments.

The California woman suffragfsts are
not daunted by their defeat Of Tuesday,
when the state voted by a majority Of
less than 1000 not to incorporate the suf-
frage amendment In the constitution.
There Is still a possibility. indeed. that
they may secure q majority in favor Of
the amendment through later counting,
but. ignoring this chance, they already
are preparing for another go at the polls
They demonstrate their political alert
ness by proposing to utilize to their own
ends one Of the amendments adopted
Tuesday, that which permits the initia-
ton of new voting projects and their ref
erence to the people at any time-in short
the initiative and referendum. With this
as a lever they can force the question
open again so soon after the election 1ust
held that the issues will still be fresh in
tho minds OF the people. and they can
perhaps take advantage Of the lessons
learned in the campaign. The vote was
close enough to encourage them to further
endeavors.
California has shown no overwhelming
fear OF the judicial recall, having given
It at least $4,000 majority out of a vote
OF approximately 100000. Evidently
President Tafts argument contained In
the veto message accompanying the Ari-
IONA New Mexico constitution bill did not
sway the state. II may be CALIFORNIA;

The Sackett Standard.

The country will want to hear more

ayers of Senator Stephenson's primary
campaign, who has been testifying before
the Senate investigating committee at
Milwaukee lately. Sackett has not only
information to give that should prove
useful in working out a satisfactory con-
clusion in this case, but he has ideas
about the senatorial price current that
should be amplified and illustrated. Ac-
cording to his judgment the expenditure
of $1O7, 1913 by Senator Stephenson for re-
nomination was small. The senator
gained his victory cheaply. To conduct
a campaign for United States senator
ship in Wisconsin properly would cost
from $4,000 to 100000. Thus far in the
investigation there has been no sugges-
ton that Senator Stephenson was a tight
wad. He seemed to be a pretty good
spender: He provided for the boys on
scale that would in most places be re-
garded as liberal. Beer. champagne and
schnapps flowed so freely as to threaten
every dam in the state. Easy touches
were made on the campaign treasurer
for all sorts Of domestic articles. even
s. hammers. Candidates for the legisia-
fact that they were running for Office
themselves. obtained generous donations
to their district campaign funds. Not
withstanding the Sackett statement, it
is probable that never before has Wis
consin witnessed such good times In the
precincts. Somewhere Mr.. Sackett must
have got some high ideas about campaign
economics. He perhaps profited by his
experience in the Stephenson fight and
found where more money might have
been used to advantage, but he is not al
together discreet in his dialogue. When
Senator Pomerene expressed a naive as
constituent that 100000 was the proper
sum to spend in order to obtain salary
Of $500 year for six years. the finan-
cial genius Of the Stephenson campaign
replied with what was doubtless meant
to be whitening contempt: 1T is not sup
posed that a man goes to the Senate for
81 500 alone" 1t is fairly safe guess
that If Senator Stephenson goes into an
other fight for denomination Mr.. Rodney
Sackett will not be his almoner.

Discovery Day.

CHRISTOPHER Columbus discovered Amer
lea 40 years ago this day because he
was gifted with imagination. He was
inspired by the thought that the geogra-
pliers of his day were wrong, that the
world was not fiat. but round. that he
could sail to the west and with greater
ease reach the rich markets OF India
than by the slow and difficult course to
the east that the explorers and mer-
chants OF his time and the centuries past
had been using. Without imagination
Columbus would not have conceived the
world as spherical He would not have
dreamed of short cut to the Indies. Per-
haps If his imagination had been bit
more vivid and he had known of the great
distance that lay between Spain and Hin
dustan he would not have undertaken his
expedition But suppose he had been as
sured that between the two points lay a
vast continent world not before
dreamed Of by him, though touched and
In small part explored by Norsemen,
would he have gone as eagerly as he
did? Probably he would. for Columbus
was of a curious bent of mind and he
was not satisfied with the known condi-
tions. No conservative sailing master
would have ventured to plow so boldly
across the Atlantic in the tiny ships Of
that period for the sake Of striking
possibly straight route to India Had
but a whisper of the Morse discoveries
reached his ears. he would probably have
heen more anxious than before to set
forth to the peopled land to the west.
Ever since the PROV of the first boat
from the Columbian caravels touched the
shores of San Salvador imagination has
played a great part in the development
of the western world. 1t carried the
Spanish explorers far through the south
ern and mid-continental region, some in
search Of the waters Of eternal youth,
others seeking for treasure. Less ag-
gressive, because perhaps less magma
tive, were those early settlers who land
ed on the New England coast. Con-
tent to make their own colonies and to
lead peaceful lives. they as a rule re-
manned within a comparatively restricted
territory, while to the north of them the
French and to the south Of them the
Spaniards, with more impulsive DISPOSE
lions, we're pushing forward and carry
ing their explorations into the unknown
western land.
No matter how long preceded by the
Norsemen, the credit of American dis
covery must remain with Columbus. The
bold sailors from Scandinavia were not
colonists. They were not exploiters of the
new land They came. they settled for
q while, they left few monuments and
then they vanished from these shores. so
that 1t was almost literally a new world
to Europe when the Italian navigator.
sailing under the Spanish flag, overcame
all obstacles at home and brayed all
perils at sea. and not only reached an I'M
expected goal. but returned again and
again and started a current of commerce
and exploration from which developed the
later activities of the French and the
English. Thus it is that on this day the
new world must pause in its rapid rush
and pay a tribute TO the man whose
vision led him over the waste of waters
to make a discovery completely changing
the course of human events.

Fire Prevention Day.
From the st. Louis Times.

The observance Of fire prevention day
has been suggested by the fire insurance
companies: but so sound is the argument
for the setting aside of such q day that
the governors of several western states
have given their approval to the day, and
1t is not unlikely that a suggestion origi-
mating with the insurance companies will
be taken over by the public as popu-
lar and highly profitable movement.
While the insurance companies are re-
quired to pay out enormous sums because
of the great number OF fires which re-
suit from carelessness, 1t is still q fact
that the public is the bona fide loser.
since the insurance companies are
founded upon practices and principles
which enable them to make profit, in a
majority Of cases, even in unusually dis
astrous years. But relative to the $3.50
600, 900 annual loss by fire which has
been found by careful statistical study to
represent the values which go up in
flames. the public Is the sufferer; and
to the losses in money there is to be
added the greater loss Of lives, averaging
800 annually.

Oversight of Signs.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FIOm tue bdItImOft SUI.
New York is moving against the multi
plicity Of electrical display signs that
variegated the city. The enterprise is d.
rected toward curtailing the tendency to
occupy all the available atmospheric
spaces with one or another blazing adj
vertisement. 1t Is believed that the ap-
pearance Of the city can be greatly i'm
proved by more rigid conditions with re-
gard to such signs. and Now York is bent
upon identifying itself to this extent
Another phase of the matter is the doubt
created as to whether the large amount
of scaffolding necessary for some of these
signs Is warranted by the building laws.
and all signs that transgress in this par
ticular will have to come down.
Here is matter that every city should
be careful about. 1t Is we'll enough to
have display, but the extremes that make
the display offensive or unjust to others
should be guarded against.
