cent. of the voters any question of
 public policy shall be submitted at a ! regular election for an expression of opinion. Such a vote upon any question would finally and conclusively apprise the Legislature of the wishes of the people. Such an expression Is pro vided in the bill now under consider ation I am surprised that the Judi ciary committee has reported this bill urfavorably. Can it be that the hon. cradle Senate chairman of this com
 mittee prefers to remain in a posi- tion where what the people want must depend upon his Assertion about it. or the assertion of other individual legislators?
 I did not suppose that there was in all Connecticut a man trusted with
 legislative power who would fall to
 see the wisdom, the expediency and
 the certainty that would follow upon
 definite knowledge of what the people
 want
 suggest that here is a test of who
 trusts the people, much more crucial than the test involved upon the vote on the public utilities bill I announce now for the benefit of my constitu- ents and the honorable Senate chair man of the Judiciary committee. that political progressiveness which stops at the public utilities bill, and does not extend to and include direct primaries, the initiative and referendum, and strong compensation act is not pro- gressive enough to meet the demands of the times, nor to receive the ap- proval of the people of Connecticut
 I ask the Senators to pass this bill. I ask the Senators to give the people of connecticut an~opportunity to say to the General, Assembly, clearly, def initely, unmistakably what they want, so that we may cease as legislators to walk in the dark, so that we may know the popular will and do it.
 The public opinion bill before you is modified upon the public opinion bill of the State of Illinois, under which the people of that State have derived such great benefits that they have ad- vised their General Assembly to in- corporate into the constitution an amendment providing for the initia- tive and referendum so that the ex- pression of the people shall be man. datory instead of merely advisory.

Seven years old Luigi Vallillo, eld- est of four children of MT. and Mrs. John VallilIo of 431 Hallett street was drowned in the Pembroke lake near the U. M C. Co.'s plant late yester- day. Had his young playmates req lized the importance of immediate eff fort the life of the youngster could have been saved. But when men in the cartridge shop learned of the lads predfcament life was extent.
 Luigi was the bravest of the crowd of little fellows lining the shore. He to lead the others into the water. He got beyond his depth in 8 moment and sank without @ cry. The others flung piece of wire out, chiIdlike thinking the lad under water would be able to grasp the wire Their cries and excitement led employees of the office force of the U. M. c.

 Dr. Cowell, the cartridge shop phy- sician, found life extinct when he reached the plant from his office at park. The remains were turned over to Carroll & Richards, funeral directors.

PATRON SAINT OF
 THE ANIMAL WORLD

The Pardon des Boeufs" of La Cha pelle-des-Marais is attributable to that unique figure of the twelfth century, St. Francis of Assist, who by his su- perb "Cantico delle Creature reha- bilitated Nature and pointed the way not only to Dante, but to Giotto. The birds of the air and the beasts of the field. whose tongues he learned and to whom he preached sermons, be- came his brothers and sisters with ev- cry bit as much right to the protec- tlon of God as man himself. It is true that the teaching of this great poet did not bear immediate fruit: it was not until the Middle Ages that his sublime hymn was thoroughly ap- preciated by the people, and that do- mestfc animals were feted, sornament- ed with flowers and trophies, and caIl- ed upon to render homage to their patron saints. Nevertheless, to St. Francis is due the honor of having called the worlds attention to the rights of our dumb friends.-From the July Wide World Magazine.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 21.-"It is the Baptist Church that dares to stand against the world today, and it is the Baptist Church that will rule the world tomorrow" declared the Rev. Dr. Frederick B. Meyer, of Lon don, president of the Worlds Sunday School Association and leading Bap- tist preacher of Great Britain, yester- day afternoon at the World Baptist Alliance.

 Professor A. T. Robertson, of the Southern Baptist Theological Semin- ary, Louisville. Ky, in an address on Spiritual Interpretation of the Ordi- nances" created a sensation when he said: There are some schools that are very willing to tear themselves away from the Baptist Church in or der to get Carnegie funds.''
 Rev. pr. Meyer cautioned Baptist young women not to wed Episcopal ians. He instructed Baptist young men along the same lines telling them to be married, not at Episcopal al- tars, but in the Baptist Church of their parents

 MT. President:-I was taken com pletely by surprise when the Judiciary through it's chairman, re- ported adversely upon this bill which provides for the advisory, initiative and referendum. I felt confident that would at least have received a mi 1ority report on this bill I believe hat had every member of the Judi ,iary committee been present on the late of this hearing, such a report would have been forthcoming. The nearing on these bills was postponed several times, and finally when we were given an opportunity of being ,eard, only a small part of the com njrtee were present. In my opinion here has been no bill introduced into his session of the Legislature that would bring legislation closer to the people of this State than this public opinion bill. During my service in his body, which has been brief com pared with the service of others here, ny experience has been that all leg station that is advocated, demanded IT opposed is done so in the name of he people of this State, ''the people want this, or the people are opposed o this.' These are the contentious if those who favor or oppose measures hat come before this body.
 No proposition is so outrageous that is not demanded in the name of the ,eople. No proposition is so excellent hat it is not denounced in the name If the people.
 Now there is not the slightest need hat the General Assembly should be n the dark as to what the people want. Nor should the people remain 'owerless to give official expression o their views for the benefit of the tate and the information of the Gen raI Assembly.

CAUSES OF CHERRY GUMosIs
Effective Treatment Advised BY Lead
ing Authority ON the Subject.

w. s. Thornber, of the Washington
State College faculty, writes his views
regarding cherry tree gumosis as fol-
lows:
aside from late spring frosts cher
ry gumosis. is probably the most serl-
Gus problem that the cherry grower
has to contend with. The fact that il
neither an insect nor a plant disease
enemy makes spraying useless under
any consideration after good case of
gumosis has developed.
The primary cause of gumosis is
usually difficult to determine in most
cases. since it is frequently concealed
by other difficulties. however, any Of
the following causes may on may not
cause gumosis:
Poor soil drainage or too wet
land.
q Strong late fall growth, follow
ed by fall or winter injury.
"S-Late summer tillage.
"4-Root injury, caused by crown
gall, too deep cultivation or winter
freezing.
"5-Repeated injuries from the sim
gle-tree or cultivator handles.
a severe attack of arhis, borers
or slugs.
''7-Too heavy spring frost that
kills leaves, blossoms, etc.
"S-A severe check of growth
caused by over-irrigation, under irri-
cation, or any natural cause.
"s-Poor, shallow soil, underlaid
with hardpan or rock.
'10-Too much alkali, barnyard
manure or commercial fertilizers.
I'm the treating of gumosed trees.
the essential thing is to, If possible,
remove the difficulty II the bark is
dry and tough, lit should be softened
by good coat of whitewash or a
thorough scrubbing with stiff
brush and strong soap suds. 1t is
sometimes advantageous to slit the
outer bark on two or three sides of
the trunk or large limbs with the
point of a penknife, This should be
done during June, and not deep
enough to injure the inner bark, or
the. cure will be worse than the dis
ease
IF the gum has already started to
ooze out and harden, cut away all the
patches, at the same time removing
all dead, injured or diseased bark,
cleanse with strong Bordeaux mixture
and when dry coat over with orange
shellac or Lead paint. A large per-
centage of trees can be cured in this
way, and lives of all greatly length
ened, even though not cured. A thor
ough draining OF wet soil proper
of most soils, and care in
pruning of affected trees will usually
help them"

WILL BE USED AS MODELS
EllSins and Cochran Schools TO BE
Under Supervision of Normal.

MONMOUTH, July 1.--President
Ackerman, Of the Oregon Normal
School, has completed arrangements
with the school boards of the Ellsins
and Cochran schools, whereby their
schools may be used as a part Of
the normal training school. These
schools are rural schools situated
within three miles of Monmouth, and
will be used. In a way, as rural school
experimental stations. by means of
which the whole question of rural
schools, country life and rural sociol-
ogy may be studied at first hand.
They are not to be used as practice
by pupils who are taking the rural
school course which has recently been
authorized by the board OF regents.
The schools will be under the i'm
mediate supervision OF President .Ack-
erman, who is TO take charge of the
rural school department. He pur-
poses TO make, by means Of these
schools and the school districts. a
careful study Of rural schools. 20 the
end that the normal may be Of the
greatest possible assistance to the
rural schools OF. the state. He says
that no part of the normal school
fund will be used for this purpose, as
he wishes to test what can be done
with the resources that may be se-
cured In the districts themselves, in
order that standards may be set for
work in ordinary school districts.
This will place the oregon Normal
School in line with the normal schools
which are endeavoring 10 solve the
so-called rural school problem.
