DENNIS INITIATIVE AND RE-
FERENDUM.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 25--In
defense Of the present representative
government Of this country, Repre-
sentative Oscar w Underwood, the
democratic majority leader in the
house, spoke tonight at a dinner
given in his honor by the Birming-
ham chamber of commerce.
1T is proposed by some," said Mr.,
Underwood, that we shall in part alb
andon the repl esentative government
enacted by our revolutionary fathers
and adopt a system that in the end
would establish. a direct democracy
when the ultimate powers to make
laws would be placed directly in the
hands of all the people and the in
dependent judiciary intended to pro-
tect the constitutional guarantees Of
individual liberty, would become sub
sequent to the will Of the majority
through political compulsiOn.
Mr.. Underwood declared there was
far less danger of enacting hasty, i'll
considered legislation under the pre-
sent than under the proposed initia
tive and referendum system. He ad
mitted that the latter system had
worked out satisfactorily in some
that was clearly understood had been
presented to the people. He con
tended, however, that the peoples
representatives were better able to
protect their interests on national
matters.
1t was the belief of the speaker

relieved from the heartburn and indl-

that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased.
My nerves, which used to be un-
steady, and my BRAIN which was slow
and !ethargic from a heavy diet of
meats AID greasy foods, had, not in
moment, but gradually, and none the
less surely, been restored to normal
efficiency.
Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are quick
