MUST co TO THE PEOPLE
No Question Settled Until the "court
of Last Resort" Has Passed
Upon II.

It Is reasonably safe to say that no
Legislative body would pass a Payne
Aldrich tariff bill had the people the
power to veto 1t. On the contrary,
congress would revise the tariff in &c
cordance with national rather than
special interests.
Moreover, that would be the best
thing In the long III for the special
interests themselves. Once the peo-
pie accepted a tariff law, we should
hear no more of that troublesome
question for a generation, and surely
the manufacturers stand in need Of
projections from agitation and insta-
bility quite as much as from foreign
competition. So It ought to work out
in all things.
Representatives at best can only
guess at public opinion and often
they mistake a loud noise for the
voice of the people, forgetting that
"the shadows murmur, but the deeps
are dumb" Throughout a generation
congress was guessing on the ques-
ton of a money standard, whether 1t
should be paper, silver or gold, and
there was no rest or security. AT
last, in 1896, the problem had to go
squarely to the people, as every prob
lem finally must, and the people
promptly gave a decision far more
conservative than a timid congress
ever had dared to give and at once
put an end to all doubt and debate.
All matters Of Importance soon Oh
late must be submitted to them fol
final determination. Delay only pro
longs the uncertainty. Under the in
itiative and referendum every law has
the direct or tacit Endorsement OF the
public, and thereby gains a stabilit!
and force that can be derived from
no other source.
No question is settled until the pee
pie have settled 1t.

reached the conclusion that a tarin

ing Joaquin Miller, the poet, one
night. Upon hearing a particularly
funny story by the host the poet fell
off his chair in a paroxysm of mirth,
Irish thought the poet had a seizure

stuck the top Of 1t into Miller's mouth,
hoping to revive him.
Presently Miller waved his hands

prepare a trade agreement that I
barties to the negotiation believe Will
prove acceptable to the people and IN
crease the already great business
passing over the border. The attempt
to drive the Dominion into the Union
has been definitely abandoned. The
abrogation of the reciprocity treaty IN
1866, the long period of VIGOROUSLY
hostile tariff legislation eliminating
in the Mckinley and Dingley tariff
acts, the constant friction over nsh-
cries and boundaries and bonding
privileges and alien labor laws-all
| these have ended in acknowledged de-
feat. Canada has grown and pros
pered in spite of them, and Washing

hereafter be treated as the nearest

Exhortlnu the Ducks

There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The 9TH
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtuh, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
temps to keep the misguided ducks
straight, the older boy shouted:
Stand up, duck, stand up!" Their
t~wo-year-old, noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex
horted: "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand III

Corralling a Quarter Section
Copyright 1911. BY Associated Literary Press.)
By M. ]. PHILLIPS

Arthur Brant was conscious of an
undercurrent of hostility in the sod
cabin OF the Pentons. The mental at
mosphere was as crisp as the breath
less cold of the February night-a cold
which clutched the Dakota prairies In
iron fingers.
Brant was a shy young man where
women were concerned, and though
he felt acutely that for some reason
Hilda Penton, her parents and her
ten-year-old brother had turned against
him, he could not bring himself to ask
why, or t worm the reason out OF
them by indirection.
They had moved onto the quarter
section adjoining his W fine farm a
few weeks before. He had not earned
to know them well, though he had
formed the habit of dropping In on
them during the evening. But now he
was ~unwelcome. Jim Penton, usually
affable and garrulous, smoked tonight
In grave silence. He kept his gaze on
the cracked stove, which was glowing

searching cold.
Mrs. Penton knitted without looking
up, and little Jim, who usually hung
adoringly about Brant's knees, was
huddled In a corner, though he peered
stealthily at his friend a often as ne
dared.
AS for Hilda herself, beyond the
merest ~monosyllabic replies to Brants
efforts to make conversation, she was
ominously quiet.
When her work was completed and
she sat down opposite him, her blue
eyes were sparkling, and her voice re
minded Brant of the crackle Of frosty
snow under foot.
