Gov. cnchrist Wins.

The voters of Florida will not
have the opportunity to vote on
the initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution
at the election 5th of next month.
The supreme court sustained
Governor Gilchrist's contention
that the amendment bad not been
properly submitted. In the de-
cision the supreme court was di-
vided, three justices taking Gov.
Gllchrist's view and two upheld
Attorney General Trammell's
views, which shows that the at
torney general had strong ground
for his stand in favor of submit
ting the amendment this year.
The decision hung after all on
the opinion of one judge and that
Judge happened to take view
that put the amendment out of
running this year. But we be-
lieve the next legislature will re-
submit the amendment and the
present decision will only deter
its adoption temporarily. And
probably the next initiative and
referendum amendment will be
nearer perfect than the one just
prevented from appearing on the
ballot this year.

Seattle is contagion which Is

OF Puget. Sound and has SO far
permanently affected $4,000 people
II covers 10, square miles and is
called city by its Inhabitants and
forest reservation by Tacoma and
other jealous rivals,
Seattle stands on the salt sea
shore at an average angle of forty
degrees, it being necessary in spofs
for the intrepid Scatter to use an
Alpine stock while chasing the
mountain goats off his mansard gar
den. A man named Thompson has
been changing all this by washing
the hills out from under the bust
ness section and then lowering the
buildings to earth by means of para
chutes. Because of this, Seattle is
the only city in the world which
has skyline that Is going down and

" level and the citizen who slips on
a banana peel while going to his
bank does not have to take an ele-
yator back to pick up his hat
Seattle was founded in 1852, but
owing to the damp climate and the
scarcity of settlers equipped with
both lungs and gills, il grew very
slowly and only acquired a popula-
tion of $50 in the first ten years. Up
to twenty years ago, it was vast
wooden town which was extended
by the simple process of cutting down
pine tree and building a house out
OF it. Then the klondyke was dis
covered and every prospectOr who

The Nativity of Greatness.

There are those who would not
mention greatness In the same
breath with the American congress.
1t is an elastic word, however, and
possibly can be stretched to apply.
The average member Of the lower
house does not stack UP very high in
Washington, and there have been
senator's, nameless here, whose office
was several sizes too large for them.
Yet, taking them by and large, our
national soions are the representa-
tives of the American people, and TO
deny them some measure Of great
ness would be to reflect ON our own
discrimination.
There are nearly 500 members OF
the two houses at present, and a
study OF the nativity of these is not
without interest Some of them are
too modest to tell where they were
born, but enough let out the secret
