ENGLISH AROUSED
OVER THE ACTION
TAKEN AT SYDNEY

London, Oct. 26.-Lord Denman, the
governor general of Australia, has been
practically expelled from Sydney by
the authorities of New South Wales
and the matter has caused some hard
things to be said Of the Australian
state in England.
Personally, Lord Denman has had
nothing to do with the dispute which
has caused his eviction from the Off =
cial residence, and he Is the victim of
a quarrel between the state and fed
eral ministers.
The commonwealth wanted to start
a postal savings bank, but as this
would have competed with the exist :
ing state bank, the state authorities
Iopposed the idea bitterly.
To bring pressure to bear on the
federal authorities a means was found
in the threat to resume possession of
government house, the residence of the
governor general, which Is state prop
lerty. The excuse was given that the
grounds were needed for a park and
the house for a museum. At any rate
the governor general was compelled to
seek new quarters in Melbourne, and
on his departure the mayor of Sydney
presented him with an address ex-
pressing the regret and Indignation OF
the citizens at the circumstances Of his
departure.

Music From Greenland.

Copenhagen, Oct. 26.-Music from
Greenland is shortly to be added to the
delights of music lovers.
A Danish composer has returned
from trip to Greenland with $50 orr
ginal pieces of music which he Sc.
cured from the natives by using a
monograph.
He declares that the musical sense
Of the natives is highly developed, and
where they are the least influenced by
cultivation the most typical tunes have
been found. Seve1ll of the songs
which he secured resemble the songs
OF the Canadian Indians and the Es-
kimos. He also discovered similar re-
semblances in their native dances.

q referendum petition must be signed
by Is per cent Of the voters in ma
jority OF the counties. For other Pc
titions It IL provided that two fifths
Of the whole number Of counties of the
state" must furnish az signers Of said
petition the required per cent Of the
legal voters In such county. This
joker has been incorporated into the
Nebraskan amendment. 1t appears
in the Missouri amendment SO modi-
fled as to require the percentages to be
secured in leach of two-thirds Of the
congressional diptrscts Of the state"
The signature OF any voter In the state

Joker No. ITO SO frame the
emergency clause" that the legisla-
|ture may annul the referendum when
ever 1t chooses.
The usual language employed Is,
"The referendum may be ordered ex-
|cept as to laws necessary for the pub
lie peace. health or safety ="
The courts have held that the legisla-
ture is the Judge as to what consti-
tutes an emergency, and so 1t becomes
a simple matter for a majority, or
even two-thirds majority. to Eek
cept" any law from the possibility of a
vote Of the people. At least two
thirds majority of all members OF
each house should be required to de-
clare an emergency, and such vote
should be on a sep, rate section setting
forth the reasons for the emergency.
Joker No. 5-To put an arbitrary
limit upon the number Of measures
which may be submitted to the people
at any one election.
This is an old scheme which has
-orked great hardship to the people
Of several state where limit has
been set to the number OF proposed
amendments to the constitution the
Legislature could submit at any one
time. In Kansas, Arkansas and Mon
tana, only three amendments can be
submitted at legislative session. In
Illinois only one article Of the consti
tuition can be amended at an election,
etc. When grave emergencies arose
and the people demanded important
changes opposed by the interests the
legislature has quickly filled the ballot
with trivial proposals, and made it
impossible for the important meas
ures to be voted upon. This same
tiative is in operation. 1t is great
and growing danger. The excuse will
be made that the ballot must not be
Overloaded" But when large num-
Der of questions appear upon the bal
lot of any state. 1t is an evidence that
the legislature Is not doing its duty.
The real thing that troubles the poll
ticians and their masters is the pres
ence on the ballot of important meas
ures which they do not want enacted
by the people. Place no limits on the
voters. This is their government and
they can take care of themselves.
Joker No. 6-Failing to provide an
adequate and efficient method Of in
forming the voters concerning the
measures submitted to them.
The only safety for the political
machine is to keep the people in ig-
norance. Hente, every effort by
stump speakers and venal newspapers
to distort and misrepresent vital pro-
posals made through the initiative or
sent back to the voters by the referen-
dunn. Newspaper advertising is of
little value. is very expensive. and is
open to political graft. The Oregon
Publicity Pamphlet is the thing.
