ter now than I'm the days OF the re-
Volution or civil war. There Is less
OF graft and more OF honest endeav-
or on the part OF public officials than
ever before. The reason we hear OF
more corruption is because we have
placed our standard OF service higher
and with the wide publicity In the
newspapers and upon the platform we
hear oc more corruption than we
formerly did. Our schools too are
better than ever before, and If we
would made them still better we
must be more careful in our selec-
ton of teachers and place the voca-
ticn OF teaching on professional
basis. He said that we ought not
TO complain so much about graft In
our legislature. because we were rart-
ly to blame ourselves for conditions.
Place in your new Constitution OF
Chic the initiative and referendum,
ana give the people that safeguard
over the acts of the Legislature and
II will be no longer worth the while
for those who want special favors
TO bribe the LEGISLATORS And why,
he asked, ought mot the voters of
this state TO have the right to
change their constitution and their
laws when a majority desire. When
the people nave the right to vote up
on the laws as well as upon the
men who administer them. We will
be able to bring about some real re-
forms. The people can be trusted to
approve such laws as are wholesome
and to disapprova those of selfish
and mercenary nature

legal result inevitably is that the resi-

"Therefore, we advise YOU without
