The University of Chicago students

KNIFE CHANGES HIS NATURE.
Famous Convict Who Reformed After
Operation to Be Paroled.


Operation to Be Paroed.
Incarcerated in the state prison at
Marquette, Mich, for more than TWEEN
ty-two years, Redmond Holzhay, the
best known and the most remarkable
man in that institution, will be releas-
ed on parole in November, 1918. His
release at that time is made possible
as a result of legislation enacted last
winter which extends the benefits of
the parole law to convicts undergoing
hfe sentences.
HolZhay was known as "Black Bart"
when taken to Marquette from Gogebic
county, where he had been tried and
convicted for the murder of a WisCon-
sin banker. He was illiterate and pos
sessed a record as a desperado and
stagecoach and train robber. He gave
the prison officials much trouble dur
ing the first few years. but following
a surgical operation his character
changed completely, and he became
model prisoner He has since been q
student. He has given himself a good
education. For years he has been the
prison librarian and photographer
HOlzhay Is the only one remaining of
the first LOO persons serving terms
I'm the penitentiary. He is forty-five
years old and is in excellent health.

as may be necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health
or safety, support of the state govern
ment and its existing public institu-
tons, provided that not more than 3
per cent of the qualified electors of
the state shall be required to invoke
either the initiative or the referen-
dunn"
When per cent or more of the vOt-
ers wish to use the referendum on any
law passed by the Legislature in that
state they file a petition with the sec
retary OF state within ninety days aft
er the adjournment of the legislature.
The law must then be submitted to
the people. As will be seen from the
quotation just given from the cOnsti-
tuition, this ; per cent can also propose
legislation through the initiative. which
they do through n petition to the leg
islature That body has no choice. 1t
must submit to a referendum the law
thus proposed through the initiative.
If the result Of the referendum is ia
vorable to the proposed law 1t goes into
effect at once.
Besides this state wide referendum,
local laws and ordinances in the cities
and towns of South Dakota are sub
mitted to the vote Of the communities
affected by them. In San Francisco
the initiative and referendum are IN
force. but it takes Is per cent of the
voters to invoke the initiative.
1t is generally assumed that the
adoption of the initiative and referen-
dunn would lead to more radical legis-
lation. However DR.. Edwin f. Slos-
son, writing to the Independent from
Switzerland, where he has been spec
tator at referendum election, ex-
pressed the opinion based on what he
had observed that the electorate was
more likely to err in the direction Of
conservatism than of radicalism. He
wrote after seeing the referendum wipe
an old age pension law off the statute
books three months after 1t had been
enacted

WON'T TRAIN WOMEN.
School of journalism Rules Them Out
Flatly, For tho Present at Least.

0Cnooi OF JOURNALISM huIeS nom Sut
Flatly, For tho Present at Least.
Women will not be admitted to the
Pulitzer school of Journalism at Co.
lumbia university when 1t opens for
students In September next.
The ruling that women are to be ex-
cluded was made by the advisory
board Of the school, which is headed
by Whitelaw Reid. The committee
discussed the proposition as to whether
women should be admitted for some
time at its last meeting and finally de-
cided that the best interests of the
school. for the time being at least, de
mand that the courses be open to men
only.
By excluding women from its classes
in journalism Columbia is not estab-
fishing a precedent, for excepting in
the summer session no women are per
mitted to take courses In the Colum-
bia school Of law, and the same is true
at the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons. At the latter place women are
allowed to attend lectures. but they
are not permitted to register for a de-
gree and follow out the course to the
end.
No women have been admitted TO
Columbia college in more than twenty
years.

GOVERNMENT TO RAISE MINK.
Commercial Test Planned to improve
Fur Producing Trade.

Commercial Test Planned to improve
Fur Producing Trade.
The biological survey of the agricul-
tural department has secured the CO.
operation of the National Geological
park In experiments in breeding mink
for the purpose Of ascertaining the pos
sibllities of rearing them in captivity
for commercial purposes. This has
never been attempted by the govern
ment heretofore, but 1t is hoped by the
combined efforts Of the two organiza
tions something Of practical impor-
tance can be accomplished. The fact
that the mink is a native Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia gives promise to the
undertaking.
The main object is to secure data rel
ative to the best methods Of rearing
mink for their fur, especially as to de-
tails Of housing. feeding. mating and
caring for them Some simple pens
have been constructed in the zoo for
about six of the animals in order to
start the experiments, and additional
ones will be built as occasion demands.
The mink for these experiments will
be trapped in the District, if possible,
it being considered preferable to OBJ
tain specimens which have their habi-
tat IN that locality and are already ac-
climated rather than TO bring them
from a distance. Should this prove
impossible specimens will be purchased
from other localities. A few individu

vicinity Of Washington, but the officials
having the enterprise in charge say
they are not looking for results as yet.

WHAT ARE THE
RECALL AND
Measures That Have Been
Adopted In Some States
In this Country.
" JHAT are the initiative, the ref
NN/ erendum and the recall?
" They are words in every

1hey are words In every
body's mouth just now, but
a pretty fair proportion of those who
talk about them have vague idea Of
what they mean.
Summing them up, they may be said
to be three instruments whereby the
representative system of government
30 long in use in this country will be
considerably enfeebled and the people
will obtain a more direct control and
management Of the government than
they have ever had. State after state
is adopting one or all of these new
measures When the nineteenth cen
tury closed only one state had the ini-
uative and referendum. Now many
states have it. The recall did not come
into existence in America until 1908.
but now the country IS dotted with
communities where it is in force and
IS actively used.
All these three propositions are i'm
portations from Switzerland, where the
initiative and referendum have been in
force for half century. the recall not

Fundamental Principles.

The states and cities that have adopt
cd these Swiss innovations have varied
nnd altered them to suit the local taste.
so that definition of the referendum
as it exists in one state does not al
ways describe the same law in another
But the fundamental principles are
usually the same and may be summed
up as follows:
The Initiative.-If a certain percent
age of voters wish a certain law adopt
ed they can submit it to the legislature
which must in turn submit it to a ref
erendum.
The Referendum.-If a certain num-
Der of voters demand an opportunity
to vote upon bill the legislature must
submit it to them and the people de
eide by a vote whether it shall or shall
not become law. just as in New York
state they vote upon an amendment to
the state constitution. The referen-
dunn can be demanded not only on
bills previously proposed by the initia
tive. but upon bills which have their
origin in the Legislature itself
The Recall.-If certain percentage
# voters demand the right to decide
whether a public official shall continue
to hold office or must retire to private
life the question must be submitted
to the people at an election. If they
vote against him he must give up his
office, whether the term for which he
was elected is anywhere near its end
or is just beginning.
"The initiative" said Henry James
Ford Of Princeton university in an ad-
dress before the Economic club of Bos-
ton, "means simply this-that sections
of the people themselves shall have the
right to initiate legislation and to So
lcit for it the approval Of their fellow
citizens. The referendum means that
II the legislature passes measure
that measure shall be referred to the
people before it becomes law"

Recall In Los Angeles.

The recall had its American begin
ming in Los Angeles. where it was
inserted in the city charter in 1908.
The clause providing for it announces,
"The holder of any elective Office may
be removed at any time by the electors
qualified to vote for a successor Of
such incumbent" II 25 per cent Of
the voters petition for the removal Of
such an officer the petition is filed with
the city clerk. 1t must contain a state
ment Of the reasons for which the Off
cial's removal is sought.
The city clerk has ten days in which
to ascertain If the petition contains the
requisite number of signatures, and
upon his certificate to that effect the
city council must order an election
within from thirty to forty days I'm
less the accused official requests other
wise in writing his name must be put
upon the ballot as candidate to sue
ceed himself. The candidate receiving
the highest number of votes, whether
it is he or another, takes the office.

South Dakota First to Adopt.

South Dakota was the first state to
adopt the initiative and referendum,
and its laws on the subject are regard
ed as models OF the kind. The South
Dakota constitution originally provided
that "the legislative power shall be
vested in legislature which shall con,
sist Of senate and house of repre-
sentatives." This was amended by
adding a provision that "the people
expressly reserve to themselves the
right to propose measures, which
measures the legislature shall enact and
submit to vote OF the electors Of the
state, and also the right to require
that any laws which the legislature
may have enacted shall be submitted

In Oregon.

And In Oregon the governor has no
veto power over measures enacted by
the people themselves.
The operation and purpose of the
initiative and referendum were eX-
planned in a clear and lucid manner
by the highest court in Oregon in a
case known as Oregon versus Pacific
States Telegraph and Telephone com
pany, SO Ore, 1G2. Said the court:
by the adoption OF the initiative
and referendum into our constitution
the legislative department of the state
is divided into two separate and dis
tinct lawmaking bodies. There re-
mains, however. as formerly, but one
legislative department of the state. 1t
operates, it is true, differently from be-
fore-one method by the enactment of
laws directly through that source of
all legislative power, the people, and
the other, as formerly, by their rep
resentatives-but the change thus
wrought neither gives to nor takes
from the legislative assembly the pow
er to enact or repeal any law except
In such manner and to such extent as
may therein be expressly stated.
The powers thus reserved to
the people merely took from the legls-
lature the exclusive right TO enact laws,
at the same time leaving 1t co-ordi.
nate legislative body with them. This
dual system of making and unmaking
laws has become the settled policy OF
the state and so recognized by deci-

A Curious Case.

The other cities that have followed
Los Angeles lead have modelled their
recall laws after hers as a rule, though
some Of them require as high a per-
centage of voters as 80 or 40 to make
the demand. Oregon in 1908 adopted a
constitutional amendment making ev-
cry elective officer in the state, from
constable to governor and, of course,
including judges, subject to the recall
In that state the reasons for the recall
OF the official must be stated within
200 words, and he is allowed the same
space in which to defend himself.
A very curious case came up in Ore
Eon last year in which circuit judge
named Coke was made the subject of
a recall petition because of his conduct
of a murder trial. The defendant was
acquitted because of the judges charge,
and the petition for COke's recall
charged him with giving unfair and
erroneous instructions as to the law"
Thus the laymen Of Douglas county.
Ore, were actually asked to pass upon
a judges knowledge and Interpretation
of the law, not of the facts.
