Professor Foster, who tells what the
weather is to be, says there will be some
exceptionally cold weather following the
February thaw. He predicts that the
last few days of February and the first
dozen days of March will be of unusual
severity. That will make about two
weeks of bad weather just when the
average North Dakotan is praying for
something warm. Among the great
damage to be done by this extended
cold wave will be to the fruit
sections of the country--and to winter
wheat

DIRECTED LEGISLATION

The initiative and referendum is IN
brief a method of bringing about direct
the government nearer to the people
the making of the government more re-
sponsive to the will of the people. The
initiative, as it's name implies, describes
the government process by which the
voters compel the submission OF a
question upon which they desire to vote;
while the referendum, true to its name,
describes the machinery by which a
measure is referred to the people for
their decision. The initiative and refer
endumd do not overthrow representative
government, they merely bring the re-
preventative under the control of his
constituents. The people will not resort
70 the initiative and referendum so long
as the legislators do their duty, and give
voice to public sentiment. The initia-
tive and referendum are, a club held
over the representatives to compel them
to recognize their responsibility and
give expression to the wishes of those
who elect them, Representatives will be
more apt to vote for needed laws when
they know that the people can secure
these laws in spite of the legislature, and
will secure them; and representatives
will be restrained from voting for bad
laws when they know that the voters
themselves have the right to veto.
It is perfectly natural that sentiment
in favor of the initiative referendum
should grow because the masses are de-
mocratic by instinct and by education,
They may be deceived for a while by the
special interests, but they can not be de-.
ceived always. AS soon as they under
stand what the initiative and referen-
dun are, and why they are proposed,
they at once become advocates of them.
The sentiment in favor Of the iEitia-
tive and referendum is far stronger than
to say that if a vote could be taken
among the people of any state, after a
thorough discussion of the subject, no
other reform now before the country
would receive so large a percentage of
the total vote.
In Missouri, fer instance, the iritia-
tive and referendum we're adopted by a
large majority even though the state
went republican, and republican states,
like Oregon, South Dakota and Maine,
have adopted it, AS we'll as a democratic
state like Oklahoma. Even in Ohio the
friends of the initiative and referendum
came within a vote or two of securing
the submission of the amendment,
While it is impossible to fix with accur-
acy the date upon which any reform,
however m eritorious, will be secured, no
one who understands the trend of events
will doubt that the initiative and
referendum will spread until all the
states have adopted it. Enough states
have already acted favorably to prove
that it is not limited by latitude or
longitude. Maine in the east, Oregon
in the west, South Dakota in the north
Oklahoma in the south and Missouri in
the c~enter-these states represent ex.
tremes in every sense, and yet they are
one in recognizing the strength of the
argument in favor of direct legislation.

North Dakota will have only one con-
gressmen until March 4. when Congress-

The transfer of MI. Gronna to the senate
leaves Congressman Hanna as the only

Helgeson will leave for Washington the
latter part of the month to prepare for
his new duties.

House Bill No. 80, is an act to provide
for the election of county, school, and
judicial officers by a non-partisan
majority vote. Such a measure would
prove of great value If enacted into
law. 1t would do away with much of
the strife between parties and would no
doubt result in better standard of Office

Oatmeal Superb
Cleanser of Suede

Oatmeal is the safe remedy for soiled
suede gloves in white, pale tan or gray
shades. To clean them it is NECESSARY to
draw them on and plunge the hands in
a small basin OF oatmeal, rubbing them,
especially the finger tips, the knuckles
and wrists with the meal. and scrub
wing the more soiled portions with a
very clean nail brush Finally they
should be busted with a piece of clean
soft flannel
Wash-leathcr gloves require yellow
soap and water which is warm and not
hot. Too hot water teTds to SHRINK the
skins and is probably the reason why
some people make a poor success of the
operation. They should be dried on the
hands or on wooden trees if possible, in
the sun or close to a fire. Like flannels,
the quicker they dry the better.

THREE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SCHOOL GOWNS

a dainty frock for summer, in dimity.

neck, and the straight skirt, with three
tucks above the hem. may be shirred
at the waist or gathered into a straight
belt.

sleeves. a,one-piece sleeve. gathered into

bottom of the cuff. around the belt and
collar, and down the closing at the left

in sizes 4, 6, s. and 10 years
The design in the center Ladies'

pretty little dress with a panel in the
front extending to the bottom of the
skirt. The waist, having two wide
tucks over the shoulder, and one-piece
full-length sleeves with a boX-plait at
the top, stitched in cuff effect, is joined
to the straight plated skirt by belt
which ends at each side of the panel at
the center-front.
This would make an attractive little
dress in dark blue linen. with the belt,
collar. front panel, and the ticks over
the shoulder, piped with white linen.
If a heavier dress were required, a to-
bacco brown panama would be suitable

Florida Green Peas
Reach Local Market

As harbingers of the Florida spring
came the first shipment of green peas
yesterday. While these forerunners of
the season commanded the high prices
their scarcity justified, they were never
theless soon disposed of. Beans are
now beginning to return to the Wash
ington markets in considerable quanti-
ties. and may now be bought at retail
as low as Is cents quart. The elusive
eggplant is here again, but Is yet so un-
certain that little can be said of it, ex-
cept that they are scarce and are SELL

There was a slight scarcity Of lettuce
in the wholesale market this mornin:
