PAVING the Piper.

A rather costly example of the in
|itiative and referendum in a west
ern state is thus recounted by the
Pittsburg Gazette-Times:
Out in COLORADO they have the
referendum fever in its most acute
form That commonwealth is in the
hands OF the Democratic party.
which has a legislature that failed
recently to elect a United States
senator and governor who isNnot
making an unqualified hit with the
dear people. ut appears that the
legislature had so little confidence
in its own capacity that it decided
to submit many proposed laws to a
referendum vote. BY this route IL
was hoped to negotiate Utopia at a
single bound. Meanwhile Governor
Shafroth and his administration are
menaced by complaints that they
have been reckless in public ex-
penditures. The day OF reckoning
and another election is approaching
and taxpayers want to know. Incl
dentally also colorado has the In
itiatlve, and 1t is expected that, Ia
response to petitions, about a dozen

who is ambitious for further polit-

this will cost the state $25O,OoO at

Progress Of the south.

The ratio of progress made in the
South in the last two decades Is
greater than 1t has been in any other
section OF the country, says the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
IN speaking of ratio, progress
in the accumulation of wealth is
meant. Had the people of the South
been told fifty years ago. when
large part of the property of the
section consisted in slave property,
that the war then in progress would
be followed by the emancipation OF
their slaves, but that in the course
of a few years they would have
much greater wealth without slaves
than they had had with them, they
would not have believed it.
Had it. been then predicted that
the time was coming when q large
per cent OF the cotton crop would
,be turned into the finished product
i'm southern mills. why that would
not have been believed. The peo~
pie who raised the raw cotton were
Wiling to sell 1t to the mills Of other
sections and other countries, and
buy back from them the finished
prouct as they might require.
But the rapid accumulation OF
wealth and the diversifcation OF IN
dustrfes do not denote the very
greatest element in the progress
that has been made by the southern
people. They have learned that
they need not confne themselves to
the products OF the soil; they have
learned that the facilities for man
ufaeturing are as great there as in
any other part of the country
Hence, with such confidence, many
millions Of dollars are invested in
southern manufacturing and other
Industrial enterprises.
In brief. the southern people have
learned to have more confidence in
themselves. in their capacity to do
things, and that is one of the lead
ing assets of any section.

outrages and murder. Faction
fghting IN various parts OF the Mex
lean republic continues to cost
good many lives and to spread dis

OF the most important states
Industry is nearly at a standstill and
want grows worse daily.
This last feature of the situation
Is the one which IS most ominods
MEXICO has little accumulated wealth

far from starvation. When work
and wages stop famine is at their
doors. Without confidence in the
government and the future of the
country foreign capital will not go
ahead with Mexican industries or
make permanent investment in Mex
leo. without such capital there
must be stagnatSon in trade and in
iustry, which means increasing suf-
fering and bitter want among the
common people. The worse the
masses fare the harder 1t will be to
maintain order. The more they
suffer the more rioting and destruc'
tlon of property there will be. And
to comeIpte the ru.nous circle the
more lawlessness spreads and
grows in its power for evil, the
more nearly trade and industry will
stop.

Judge Blair of Adams Co., o., Finds |
Large Number Waiting for Sentence.

West Union, o., Jan. l0.--Twenty-iye
penitent and self-confessed vote sellers,
who were waiting for him at PEBBLES
when he returned Monday to the county
seat from his home at Portsmouth, were
tried by Judge Blair before daybreak.
Court was held in the lobby of a hotel
and the men were thus spared the a.
mile overland journey to this village.
When Judge Blair arrived here, he found
seventy-fiye others ready to acknowledge
their guilt To the one hundred he gave
the customary fine of IS and five years
Acknowledgement The days work has
brought the total number of those found
guilty up to APO. The total number
indicted is l,64s Among those sentenced
was Cliff Bentley, young farmer OF
Monroe township, who said he believed
himself only morally guilty. He refused
offers of Sl5 for his vote, rendered last
fall by workers of each political party.
On his way home from the polls he
accepted a ride in the buggy Of a party
worker, who, after they had ridden
distance, handed Bentley So
as present for his baby, explaining
that he had that much left of his Doodle
fund and Bentley might as well have
it as anyone else.
