by direct vote of the majority of such voters as choose to vote on the ques- tion when submitted to them. So. it is the imaginary process of enacring, amending or repeating the statutes of a state by a like vote. The constitution of the United States provides that All legislative DOW CTS herein granted shall be vested in Con ,Sress, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
 Tt Is an elementary principle of law that neither Congress nor the legislature or any state can empower any men or body of men to legislate for the nation or. the state. It follows that there can be no initiative by force of statute Of the United States without the abrogation or amendment of the section of the constitu tion quoted It is absurd to think that the federal constitution ever will bs amended so as to provide for the initia- tive.
 Even the demagogues and falsirs who are bowling over the oppression of tbe dear people are ignorant of these pro~ visions of the constitution or propose to ignore them as dead letter insofar as they initiate against their fads Before these amendments can be made the initia- tive Will be abandoned and thrown into the Junk pile as passing vagary.'.

All though it had been planned to close the plant July 1 for repairs, the orders were so large that the date was postponed until July 15, and then all employees were given notice that they will be given em- ployment In other departments if they desire 1t.

slave law The trial judge and fed eral attorney indorsed the woman's ap-
 
 contract, that the waterworks company know what they are about or they wouldn't have done it, etc l think that the legal array on our board has had enough experience in .jokers' to recog- nize one when they see it. We also hear that this is 6 deeply laid scheme be- tween the water company and the Plumbers associations; that large per centatage of water is not used, but wasted through defective plumbing. old corroded pipes, etc.; that at the first in stallation of meters the bills by reason of said waste are going to be enormous with the result that the plumber will be called into re0uisition. I do not see that waste benefits any one and 1t ought to be remedied. and I am firmly Of the belief that when it Is remedied, this conces- sion of 33 1-3 per cent which is now made by the water company will not only be greatly reduced. but we will be get ting much cheaper water.
 All of which. however. does not alter the fact that I believe the water company has got ''cinch' and a dandy good con tract and that the joker" rests in this; that to allay public sentiment and save the leaks is good business.
 A condition we should not overlook in considering this contract Is the financial status of our city. As, fast as conditions improve. imperative demands increase in greater proportion; the issuance of bonds with which to defray departmental expenses has not put us on easy street, ' but has only relieved the immediate pres sure, in anticipation of either constftu- tional or legislative relief or both. Until this relief comes we cannot hope to get out of the clutches of the creditor; we can plan municipal works, including own ing our own waterworlts and all the other things that go to make q great and pros porous city. but we can put none of our plans into execution.

SHE KNEW ABOUT THE PLAY
But Her Neighbors at the Theater Did Not Appreciate Her Ex-
 plantations.

It was the second time the play had come to the city, and the wom- an was there who insisted on inform ing her companion about every move of the star just before it was made.
 'Now he is going to read that let ter, and that will show her that she has misjudged him." she said.
 The play, with its accompaniment of comment, went on while those around the woman who had seen it before scowled.
 The third act was ending with a grand climax. The hero seemingly had all that was coming to him. Only few plot threads were dang ling, and they had been forgotten by the woman.
 ''Now, you see how delightfully."- it ends. It hasn't been changed bit from last time," She began to put on her hat while she smiled patron izingly at her companion. But the audience didn't leave at the fall of the curtain. There was another act. Two girls in the next row giggled.

DiD YOU EVER
 STOP TO THINK
II you read this article through you will and if you are young you will
 think twice

Dlu yOu ever stop to tllnk that you do four things, just four and no more? You think; you re- member; you imagine; you act, When you learn to think better. remember better, imagine bet. ter, imagine better or act better. you are increasing your eff ciency, and, therefore, your in- come. You may feel that you are very successful now. Sup pose you are; it isn't question Of what you know, but of how beneficial practical business education will be to you in ad- dition to what you already know. You ill'agree with us that to voilate part of the laws of bus mess means partial failure, and to voilate all the laws means com plete failure. You are also aware that to observe part of the laws Of business means partial sue cess, amp to observe all the laws means complete success. Our aim is to help you observe a high CT per cent of the laws of suc- cess, and, therefore, enable you to be nearer the maximum suc- cess. The late Prof. James of Harvard declares that the ave- rage man only uses ten per cent of his brain power. Suppose you are twice as capable as the ave. rage man? Even that would mean you are only twenty per cent of your maximum possibil. ities. The purpose of our course is to produce a maximum of pro- | ticiency with a minimum effort. Did you ever stop to think that eightytiye per cent of the men of this country are only earning S15 a week or less? That ninety two percent fail in business be- tween the ages of 10 and 50? That ninety-tive per cent have no money at the age of 50? We have been very successful in getting men out of the eighty five, the ninety-to and the ninty-tive per cent class. Why not let us help you? We have been marvellous Iy successful in raising salaries, as is conclusiyely proven by the let ters in our catalog from former students. The business world wants thinkers and doers. There $ a famine of high priced men today; there are thousands of men worth a thousand dollars year, but only a few worth ten thousand a year. Be the latter kind of man; you can if you will. We know that a man is worth only about S2.00 a day f. on u chin down, selling mus cle, but as high as a hundred thousand dollars a year from the chin up, selling brains. Be a chin upper and sell the higher type of brains; you can't afford to be a chin downer; there's no room for such a man. Take our thorough, practical course of Bookkeeping Business Training, Shorthand and Typewriting, or Photography, learn how to think, to remember, to imagine and act.

Virginia is Home of the Blue
Grass

W. G. Hatcher, of New Lonlon, Rails
county, Missouri, spent last week in
Washington and he undertook to show
a reporter for the Washington Post a
few things. He, of course, Dragged
about Missouri. but he got in word
for one of the great products of Vir-
ginia. Talking about the famous blue
grass, Mr.. Hatcher said:
Kentucky blue grass does not be-
gin to compare with the blue grass of
Missouri, and the blue grass of Mis-
souri, is not native to the State. Mis-
souri, blue gress, which occupies a
very much larger area than the ter
ritory covered by the blue grass of
Kentucky ives introduced into the
state from Virginia, and is still known
as Virginia blue grass. 1t is so far
superior to Kentucky blue grass that
at county, State and other fairs judges
have declined to permit the two grades
of grass to be exhibited in the same
glass. because the Virginia blue grass
was always given first prize. Maybe
it is because of the superior quality of
the Virginia blue grass that they raise
such fine horses and mules in Mis-
souri,.
"Just to show you how much better
Virginia blue grass is than the Ken
lucky product, I may tell you of what
is common knowledge in Missouri that
when horses and cattle are turned
into a field where the Kentucky and
Virginia blue grass is growing, they
will pass over the Kentucky grass and
eat with avidity the Virginia grass.
SIT is net only in bue grass that
Missouri excels. The finest sugar
pears in the world are grown there,
and they also had their origin in Vir-
ginia. In 1888 Virg;nian rode into
Rails county, Mo-, on horseback and
in his saddlebags were sprigs from
Virginia pear trees, which he planted
and the trees that sprang from these
sLrigs are now bearing large quaint
ties of fruit 1t is impossible to esti-
mate how manv thousands of dollars
each of these Virginia pear trees net
ted. The frait is just as sweet as i.
ever was Oh, Missouri is good
State, not only for its agricultural
products, bat for its statesmen"
Mr.. Hatcher might have gone furth-
er and told the man of the news that
Virginia blue grass is still growing
in the Old Dominion. and better than
ever before, better than it can grow in
kentucky or Missouri, and that thous
ands of steers being fattened on the
grass are shipped direct from the pas
ture to England sell higher than any
beef that reached the British Isles.
