DIXON TO KEEP UP
FIGHT IF COURT
REVERSES RIDDLE
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Sept. According to
reports today, the state supreme
court will hand down its decision on
the initiative and referendum law,
appealed to that tribunal from Dis
triot Judge Riddles court. next Mon
day The latter court held the law
to be illegal because 1t is said that
the necessary publication in the ses-
sion laws OF 1910 was lacking.
The belief here is that the state
court will reverse Judge Riddle in
his findings. Should the supreme
court hold the law valid, IT is known
in legal circles that Judge Dixon and
those who are backing him in his
fight against the measure will again
attack the law. The grounds to be
set up by Dixon are that many of
the signatures on the various bills to
be submitted to the people under the
Initiative aud referendum are fraud
ulent. -
The papers in the second case are
said to be already prepared for fill
ing, and when the fate OF the case
now pending in the state supreme
court is made known, the action will
be commenced Immediately.
Those who are opposing the initia-
tive and referendum and the pro-
posed new measures, or at least many
of them that are to be submitted to
a vote of the people next November,
will leave nothing undone that will
cause tae courts to knock them out
IL at all possible. 1t is hardly prob
able that the state supreme court
viii concur in the Riddle decision, is
the belief of influential attorneys
here.
In the meantime, Secretary of
State James b. Pearce is going ahead
with the initial work of preparing
the measures to be certified out in
the various counties of the state, not
withstanding that the decision of the
higher court is pending. The see
retary of state and the attorney gen.
eral believe that the validity of the
initiative and referendum law will
be sustained by the high court.

FIVE louis, the distribution of lar
gesse concluding with two louis to
another blind beggar at the door of
the Casino.
BY this time the disgust of the
sultan's financial adviser was chang
ing to panic, and he was heard to ex-
press the opinion that at this rate,
we shan't get very far" At the
present rate of exchange a louis is
worth about 81 so that 1t will be
seen that the ex-sultan's munificence
for the afternoon amounted to the re-
spectacle total Of $3.50, out of the

Mulai Hafid, oX-sultan of Morocco,
has. graduated rapidly in the pleas
ures of his European hosts at Vicny,
during his cure" One evening he
was taken behind the scenes of the
Casino theater after seeing the first
act of n ballet and he complimented
the dancers with iiattering euthusi-
asm. Earlier in the evening he had
given his first dinner party, aud in
the afternoon he had figured at a
reception held in his honor by the
municipality. Both as host and guest
he bore himself with much charm OF
manner, and as a writer of graceful
sentiments in ladies' albums he has
already proved himself hard to equal.
y knowledge of live stock is an
other of the eX-sultan's accomplish
ments. He inspected IA herd of Niv-
ornaise cows with an uneering eye,
picked the three hest and ordered
them TO be sent TO his house in Tau
gier. He even began to milk one OF
them to make sure that his Judgment
was not at fault. He also purchased
two black cats and q collie dog. For
his children he bought hundred
dolls in Bourbonnais costume, a me.
chanical plano-player merry-go-
round and au extraordinary quantity
off toys.
He presented handful of gold TO
a conjurer who performed the ven.
erablo trick OF making a globe of
goldfish disappear before him, and
the fame of his open-haudeduess
spread far and wide. Whenever he
was known to be in his apartments,
dozens of hawkerS were to be seen
lowering round the gate, watching for
chance 10 catching his eye.
The eN-sultan was taken to the
Marseilles Cathredal, and managed TO

Z Paris, Sept. 21.-The passing OF
the Panama Canal bill into law has
given rise 10 the discussion of the ex-
aggeration of the importance of the
canal itself to the worlds shipping
and one of the leading maritime a,t
thorities in France, NJ. Jose Noselli,
says in this connection that the enor-
nous advantages of the new canal
are on consideration greatly dimin-
ished. They are, he says, not suffi-
Client to bring to Panama the trade
enjoyed by Suez, for, while the voy-
age from Europe to the east via Pam
ANA would be some / 5 days shorter,
this advantage would be more than
counterbalanced by the difficulty of
obtaining freight. BY the Suez route
vessels tap Egypt, India and China,
where freights are profitable and
abundant, while there would not seem
to be much to be picked up by the
Panama route. On the return ships
might make slight detour to Chile
and load nitrate, but at $3.50 per ton
this would not appear very attract
i've.
From the passenger point of view
the Panama route would only benefit
travellers between Europe, the West
Coast OF the United States and Aus
tralia. European passengers for
Chile would arrive just as quickly
by going direct to Buenos Aires and
taking the Transandean railroad.
As to the nitrates and saltpeter of
Chile-not very profitable freight
1t is to be presumed that the sailing
ships which carry it now will continue
TO use the Cape Horn route, not only
to avoid the Canal dues, but also
because calms are frequent and dur
able in the gulf of Panama.
There remains the question of coal
Seventy-tive per cent of existing car

5000 tons. Their speed is small and
their coal consumption calculated for
medium distances. But between Pan
ANA and Asia or Australia there is
the whole Pacific ocean to be crossed.
8 to 90 days navigation. Only very
rich freights would permit such an
expense.
From all this, concludes NJ Mosel-
Ii, 1t appears that the prime import
nnce of the canal Is strategical, in
that it permits the United States feet
to operate indifferently on either
shore of the continent. Thanks to
the new Canal, the American fleet
will be able to accomplish in two or
'hree weeks a journey which former
'y required three months and that.

The Italian climate that Washington

mark upon the gorge OF the Potomac
just above Georgetown. Never. in the
history of the city, has the forest that

been painted with such exquisite hues
as now tint the foliage. The abun-
dance OF oaks. dogwoods and chestnuts.
all whose leaves lend themselves to the
autumnal sun as material for mature

HORROR TEMPERED WITH HUMILITY.

Self-satsfed Americans would be better able to
indulge the natural sentiment of horror and to plume
themselves the superiority of their civilization,
anent the assassination of the Spanish PREMIER if
we had not so recently been reminded of our own
faibility by the attempt on Colonel Roosevets life
The very same newspaper pages which presented
tine account of Premier Canalejas' murder carried
also the accounts of the examination of John Schrank
charged with assault with intent to kill. Yet there
is sharp difference between the two cases. and it
marks the wide divergence between the social cond-
tons back of them. The assassination of the Spanish
premier was the result of plot of teErorists, as
European assassinaons of the kind commonly are
1t represented deliberate program and policy of
social group which, however mistakenly believes that
such methods are necessary because nothing milder
will impress the ruling powers That is altogether
different from the act Of isolated crank in whom
dementia has developed the conviction of duty to
perpetrate crime.
1t is fitting that Americans should maintain an
attitude of due humility in view Of the frequency of
homicdes, the bad execution of criminal laws, and
particularly, the number Of lynchings that take place
in this country Yet, after ALL there is difference,
and it is in favor of this country and its government
1t marks the difference between government which
sincerely tries, and which succeeds as we'll as any
that the world has yet devised to represent the
people, and one which represents traditions, super
stitionS and class rule.

RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENTS IRRE.
SPONSIBTtITIES.

In the house OF commons yesterday, during con-
sideration of the Irish home rule measure an unim-
portant amendment was offered by the unionists and
carried, despite opposition from the ministerial
benches. There was great cheering by the oppos-
tion, the sitting was at once adjourned and there
were unonist demands that the government resign
or course, it did no sucn thing. The snap division
had been carefully plotted by enthusiastic young con-
servatives, during the absence of large number of
government supporters, and the adverse vote will be
reversed later But the incident illustrates some of
the Responsibilities of so-caled responsible govern
ment Oar own system is too ironcad, too unre-
sponsve; but the British plan leans almost as far in
the other direction. No ministerial defeat on de-
tail ought to be significant. The opposition ought not
to Claim an advantage on snap division. Notice
should be required of the purpose to force a SNOW
down on any particular measure, so that when taken
the vote should represent the real sentiment of the
house.
Somewhere between the rigidty of our system
and the looseness of the British there will be found
reasonable plan of governmental responsibility to
parliamentary sentiment. On the whole our system
is worse than the British in this regard; vast deal
worse. Think of a British government remaining in
power two years and four months after such crush
ing defeat the Taft Administration received in
November, 1910! 1t would be quite impossible in
any country governed under modern SYSTEM and
il should be impossible here

A marvellous advancement in the

an appliance in the recently installed in
