TIME great asset Of republic
is the Thinking Citizen
You. as a voter, will find
that the whole proposition involved
in our form OF government is as
simple as possible.
First. we declared our independ-
ence G776. Then We made
constitution G7sO
The Declaration of independence
was our first use of the Initiative.
By this declaration we deposed
the English king as ruler over the
destinies of the colonies.
THAT WAS OUR FIRST USE
OF THE RECALL.
The constitution begins with the
words I'VE, the people of the
United States, do ordain
and establish this constitution"
This was the use of Initiative and
Referendum
Thus, these comparatively new
words are only recently adopted
names for POPULAR PRIV
LEGES that have been in opera

Critical Situations
Saved By Silence.

MANY a critical situation has been
saved by enveloping it in the
blessed Veil of silence for thoughts

hope that they may change.

Doubtless he had suffered at the

WASHINGTON. Aug. ACCORDING te
DR., r. E Doolittle, the pure food head
OF the bureau OF chemistry. the best way
to fight the beef trust and It's increase
in prices is to let meat alone.
Eat beans II meat is too expensive"
said the doctor today. 'They are the
best substitute. They should be baked
IL possible. Beans have a high percentage
Of protein. which is all there is OF value
in meat.
"One should not eat meat more than
once a day In any event." commented
the doctor, "Of course. hard, physical
laborers need more meat than sedentary
workers 1t is unfortunate this is so, for
the harder man works and the lower
his wages, the more meat he eats and
needs. That makes the increase in beef
fall heavily on those least able to meet
the increase
"Other good substitutes for meat OF
high protein value are peas. all kinds OF
nuts, cheese and milk. Beans and peas
however. are the best for a meatless diet
But eat meat once day IL your stoma ch

We do not expect our people to

Mexico. Every indication points TO
an early settlement of the turmoil
that has driven them from that
country and undoubtedly there Will
be general return into Mexico with

the women and children will be sent

however. AS yet none has arrived
Other than news dispatches, we
have received no word from our rep

parently the situation Is little
changed. The outlook Is optimistic
and we fear no further disturbance
