PREVENT CORRUPTION.
Initiative and Referendum Would
Make Purchase Of Legislators a
Hazardous Undertaking.

1T is commonly urged by people
who don't know anything about it, or
who think their hearers don't thai
the initiative and referendum would
take all business away from legisla-
lures and turn it over to the people.
Experience does not bear out this
view," writes Judson C. Welliver in
The Munsey for December. In an arti-
Gle, Initiative Referendum and Re-
call" he says:
The people hold their legislative
powers as check on the legislature.
They don't care to do all the business,
but are satisfied to know that if their
elected lawmakers don't do what is
wanted, the people can do it them
selves. The lawmakers know this,
too, and the knowledge makes them
vastly more responsive to public de.
mands.
What use would it be, for instance,

most impressive ceremony in the ere

this morning at the great public con

princes of the church, including three
American prelates, were invested with

minister and the prelates of other
countries recently added to the men,
bership of the College of Cardinals,
today received the red hat, the insig-
mia of their office at a public consis-
tory conducted in st. Peters. Pope
Plus personally conducted the cere-
mony, which was attended by thou
sands of invited persons, including
many Americans. The fact that the
creation of so many cardinals at one
consistory is an event almost without
precedent added much to the public
interest in the occasion.
For two hours before the time fixed
for the beginning of the ceremony the
vicinity of the Vatican was thronged
with women in black with bare heads,
men in dress clothes, diplomats in
gorgeous uniform, nuns, soldiers, car
bineers, priests, monks, bishops and
churchmen of all ranks.
The papal procession was headed
by the Swiss Guards, followed by
many personages. The pope, who
made his entry seated in the gesta, |
torial chair, was dressed in complete |
pontifical robes His cope was one |
mass of gold embroidery and his mitre f,
was of white satin adorned with gold. |
Following the holy father came a long |
train of church dignitaries, together
with the Sistine choir, who sang as
the procession proceeded.
Within the Sala Regia the scene |
was one of impre ssive grandeur. Sur |
rounded by the members of the papal |
court, the pontiff mounted his throne /
at the far end of the hall. Long rows /
of benches were placed on each side
Of him, upon which sat the members
of the Sacred College in their full
cardnalatial robes On the steps be-
fore their eminences were seated
their chaplains, whose duty it was to
hold the scarlet berrettas on their
knees and to gather up the cardinals
trains.
The ceremonies opened with the
obedience" This consisted of the
cardinals going up one by one to kiss
the ring of the Fisherman. After the
protested cardinals came the newly ,

The New School Year.

For Phoenix the school year of 19l1-12 begins tomorrow. At both the high school and the city schools the attendance will be greater than ever before. The result will be, at the high school especially, an overcrowd- ed condition, the accommodate Jns or the present buildings being wholly in adequate. This situation will be re- medied as soon as the new buildings, already under way, are completed. Meanwhile the school authorities will have to do the best they can.
 There will be some congestion Tn the city schools. notwithstanding the fact that the fine new building on West Adams, with its fourteen rooms will be in commission. But this con- dition will not last long. Three new buildings are under construction, and will be rushed to completion as rapid ly as possible. It is expected that fheV Will De Teauy DS lllS AAi0N S November. It was the hope of the city board to have these buildings ready for occupancy at the begin ming of the school year, but the long delay in completing the sale of the last issue of bonds forced delay in the beginning of construction.
 It is conceded by everybody that the high school and the city schools have been brought to high state of efficiency by their respective sup erintendents, Professor Stabler and Professor Loper, with a corps O. ex- cenent teachers assisting them. and apparently there has never been such general satisfaction with the schools as at present. The outlook for the coming year is for still better re- suits.

The Loss of a Mexican Holiday.

In no section of the world are holi- days held in such high esteem as in Mexico. It is easy, therefore, to ap- preciate the feeling of loss which was brought home to the Mexican people during the past week when they realized that one of their great national holidays was a thing of the past. For many years the birthday of President Diaz-September 15- was celebrated "cOn mucho gusto' from the Rio Grande to the southern border, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores of Mexico. Only last year the eightieth birthday of Don Porfirio was one of the biggest holi- days the Mexican people had ever enjoyed. General Diaz appeared to be permanently seated in the saddle of power, and the whole nation bowed and scraped and did him honor everybody, that is, except a little man named Francisco Madero, who had but lately been released from prison. whither he had been sent for daring to be a candidate for presi- dent in opposition to the all-powerful autocrat. But within the year Senor Nadero was able to bring about the downfall of Diaz and to force him to flee the country. And Diaz having gone to the discard, it is no longer the proper thing to celebrate his birthday: so the double holiday of September 15-16-the 18th in honor of Diaz, and the 16th in honor of Mexican independence-is no more.
 But the abandonment of Septem- Der 15 as a national holiday is only q temporary loss from the fat calen- dar of Mexican fiestas. Ii cannot be many years until the great Diaz will have passed from earth. And then if he has been buried in foreign soil, his bones will be brought home in Mexican warship. all honor will be paid to his mortal remains. as France repentant. honored the bones of the great Napoleon, and the birthday Of Diaz will be restored to the calen- dar of glorious holidays.
