There remain the initiative and ref
erendum. As regards both of these. l
think that the anticipation OF their ad-
herents and the fears of their opponents
are equally exaggerated. The value OF
each depends mainly upon the way il Is
applied and upon the extent and COM
plexity of the governmental unit
to which it is applied. Every
one is agreed that there must
be popular referendum on
such fundamental matter as constl-
tutional change, and in New York State
we already have what is really a refer
endum on various other propositions by
which the State or one of its local sub
divisions passes upon the proprlety OF
action which implies the spending of
money, permission to establish trolley
line system, or something of the kind
Moreover. where popular interest is suf-
,ficiently keen, as it has been in the case
CT certain amendments to the National
Constitution at various times in the
past. we see what is practically the
initiative under another name. l be-
lieve that il would be a good thing to
have the principle of the initiative and
the referendum app1fed-in most Of our
States, always provided that 1t be so
safeguarded as to prevent its being
used either wantonly or in a spirit of
levity. In other words, if the Legisla-
ture fails to act one way or the other
on some bill as to which there is a gen.
uine popular demand, then there should
unquestionably be power in the people
through the initiative to compel such
action. Similarly, on any bill import
ant enough to arouse genuine public in
terest there should be power for the
people to insist upon the bill being re-
ferred to popular vote, so that the con-
stituents may authoritatively determine
whether or not their representatives
have misrepresented them. But If II is
rendered too easy to invoke either pro-
cess the result can be only mischiev-

the A. NJ. e. church will accept as
final the estimate Of a man placed
upon him by the circumscribed little
world in which he lives and moves.
To be great man must be torn from
his province and stood up side by side
with the tall men of the great world.
To prevent the election of four
more bishops there is no way open
except to resort to rotation and brave
its dangels. Should it obtain, farewell
to the chance Of the honest man to

Attorney in the case Of Jennie Falken-

was tried at the last term Of the Hills
boro district court, is going to appeal
the peculiar case to the supreme court.
1t will probably be appealed on the
basis of determining to what extent
people are liable for damages in cases
NJ fright.
The case is one of the most peculiar
ones in history. 1t is alleged that Nor
by, and others dressed in the festive
costumes of Norway, their native
country. entered the home of the Falk-
enhergs Christmas night and celebrat-
ed the holiday in their ture native
fashion.
Their dances and music so fright

Insane, it is alleged, as a direct result
of the scare she received from the
party that had intruded into her home.
The event occurred the Christmas of
1909 and from February to September
of the next year she was confined in
the insane hospital and is not sup
posed to have fully recovered from the
shock yet.
When the case was tried before the
jury in the district court. Mrs. Falk-
enberg was given damages to the
amount of $1,000, but her attorney be-
lieves that she should have a larger
amount. She sued for $4,000.

IRVINE Bonds Retired

Bismarck F. o. Hellstrom
has issued warrant to retire $4,000
Of 4 per cent Irvine plant bonds, which
were issued May 1, 1901, and due this
month. The total amount paid was
s95.253.34, s1,253.s4 Of this being for
interest. These bonds were held by
the state of North Dakota in the COM
mon school fund.
The fact that these bonds were paid
entirely out Of the earnings Of the
Irvine plant demonstrates that the
people who instigated the movement
in starting the plant had the right
idea. The plant has made money even
during the hard years, and has been
added to and improved until it is one
of the most complete plants in the
entire country.
It is no doubt gratifying to the
present board to be able to retire
these bonds at this time, as it will
be one of the last important official
acts, inasmuch as the legislature re-
Gently passed bill providing for a
board Of control to take charge of
certain institutions, including the PEN
itentiary.
