defied successfully by Eugene Walter

the play. based on husbands finan-
ical failure and wife's desire for bet

act. And yet the women flock to this

A DECISION.

BY the decision of the United
States supreme court, handed down
on Monday, the initiative and refer
endum has been upheld and this
Emethod of legislation at last be-
comes a fixed part Of our govern
ment. AS was to be supposed, the
attack on this practice was made In
the state of Oregon, where The peo-
pie are decidedly ahead OF all the
other states in popular government.
Action was brought by the Pacific
States Telegraph & Telephone Com
pany, of Oregon, seeking to knock
out the doctrine of direct legisla-
ton. The unanimous Judgment of
the supreme court was that the Ques-
ton of initiative and referendum Is
purely political and governmental
and M in which the judicial arm of
the government is not and cannot
be concerned.
This is looked upon as d great VIC
tory for the progressive element Of
the country. 1t means that the in
itiative and referendum will spread

more activity than ever before. T.
day Theodore Roosevelt Is address
ing the constitutional convention In
Ohio, which is considering the
adoption of the initiative and refer
endum in that state. The time has
come when this method of govern
ment by the people. legislating for
themselves when the lawmakers re-
fuse to obey the popular will, must
be more seriously considered every
where. New Jersey has made rapid
strides toward popular government
since Governor wilson has been the
executive, and At IS only a question
OF time when the people will Insist
upon having the full measure Of
control in public affairs. This In
