If the initiative and referendum
and the recall, which the Mansfield
News aptly called twins of crank
ism; both favored by Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Roosevelt" are adopted, we may
soon find ourselves running amuck
in vast sea of political disturbance,
with the landmarks of despair on
either shore. Some states have tried
these fads, which are heralded as
the forerunners of true progressive
ness" particularly Arkansas. 1t is
so in that state When the legislature
passes a law, the local or municipal
government may, under their recall,
repeal the act If it affects their par
ticular county or locality. 1t will
eventually come to the point in a
state where such affairs exist, that o
man cannot move from one township
TO the neighboring one in the same
state without coming under a new
system of laws. And this can be
brought about, too, by very small
majority of the community, major
ity so small that 1t can be done by a
class of unlesirables, who, it is a safe
wager, will be agitating something
of the kind all the time. 1t is time
that really earnest man who desires
to progress on wholesome lines sal
down on such fads and whims of ag
itators who introduce such legisla
tion and imagine miracles may b'
wrought through their half-bakec
ideas.

The Pup Likely to Be Converted.

IuC TdP h'NS'y ~ ~ S~''>' -S~'
A small dog with a large bark and
a janitor with an impediment in his
speech gave one number at religious
service recently that was not in the
regular order of exercises as an.
nounced from the pulpit. Early in the
service, the pup had come into the
church and intrenched itself at the
end of pew, where it yelped noisy
defiance at the worshippers who
passed. It was not long before the
janitor realized his duty and started
to perform 1t. The little animal noted
his approach and retreated behind the
feet of the occupants of the pew and
its intermittent yelp was turned into
long roll of defiance as the janitoI
made frantic grabs at 1t.
+ The minister gave up the unequal
contest at this point and addressing
the janitor he said:
"Just leave him alone, brother
maybe he wants religion"
"II-I'll g-g-give him all the re
lig-g-ion he wants If III ever g-get
to him." was the earnest response
and many who had come to worshiI

Simple Explanation az to Why Sons
Of the Wealthy So Frequently

The lack of physical and mental
vigor sometimes noted among the sons
Of wealthy families is due to impov-
erished vitality on the part OF the
father rather than to the oppression
Of society's demands upon the mother.
No man under the stern pressure Of
q nerve-racking load can be physically
fit to become the father of family

the expenditure of volumes Of nerve
