referendum Decision Boiled Down
The most concentrated and lucid
statement of the recent decision by
the United States supreme court in
the Oregon referendum case which
has come to notice appears in the
latest number of The Green Bag. The
full opinion in the case is to be found
by those who desire to read it in
Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. VS.. Oregon, 223 U. S. Re-
ports, 11S.
The kernel or "gist" of the decision
Is thus given in the magazine already
quoted: THE court said that the
contention Of the plaintiff in error
that the tax levied upon It under a
law enacted by means of the popular
Initiative. without recourse to the
legislature. was void, was an attack
on the state itself that is, on the
framework and political character of
the government by which the statue
ievying the tax was passed. The
court suggested that this view If
consistently maintained would imply
power in the federal judiciary, unless
anarchy were to ensue, to build up
judicial action, upon the ruins of the
previously established government, a
new one. a right which. by it's very
| terms, implies the right to control the
| legislative department. OF the govern
ment of the United States. This state
| ment showed the essential fallacy,
said the court, of the plaintiffs con-
| tention. The case was therefore dis
missed for want of jurisdiction
| When one stops to consider what
would have been the result of a con-
| trary finding by the supreme court,
| the full political significance of this
6nCIC1nn ,s~l
court to fix limitations to the exer-
else of democratic government by the
| people would have been established.
| Government by the people would
nave been subversive of American
ideals, as the reactionaries protested
to believe prior to this decision. The
very instrument of popular rule
would have been held to be destruc-
tive and in violation of the constitu-
ton guaranty of a republican form
Of government in the states. That
was exactly what the politicians
| hoped that the supreme court would
say. In that event, there would have
been born a nationwide recognition
OF Colonel Roosevelt's theory that, in
the final analysis, the people must
| possess the means of controlling the
bearing of the constitution on their
| liberties.

gress, and not the supreme court. ex-
ercises that high and responsible pre-

Importance of securing at the earliest
possible moment the means of select

A Remedy No Family
Should Do Without

No matter how healthy human
being may be it is safe to say that
not many months are passed without
some obstruction of the bowels, in
other words, constipation, even if
only temporary. The bloating, the dull
feeling may start after the evening
meal. If a laxative is not taken that
night is certain that sleep will not
be sound. and you will awaken I'M
refreshed.
Hence, it is important for you and
for all the members of your family
that a good, reliable laxative be al
ways kept in the house for just such
emergency. 1t is sure to be needed
and when needed you want 1t at hand.
No family that Is careful OF it's health
can do without such d remedy. But
the question OF which remedy to have
on hand is also OF vast Importance.

mended by the majority of Intelligent
Americans as being best for babies

THAWS ANIMALS TO
LIFE AFTER DEATH
Russian Scientist Would Ship
Frozen Cattle Alive If
Theory Works Well

SOFIA, May 1S.--Alexander Bach.
metieff, Russian professor Of biology
in this part of the city, declares he ha
in this city, declares he has discovered
a method of restoring refrigerated
animals to life. He has produced a
condition which he calls anabiosis--
death, but not irretrievable death.
When this sensational discovery de-
velops 1t may be possible, he thinks
,artificialiy to freeze animals "to
death" for purposes Of preservation,
yet to restore them to life at will.
The fartherest Bachmetieff has so far
got is to freeze healthy bats, keep
them for a time with their blood turn
ed to ice and then revive them. The
bat is mammal and physiologically
allied to the higher animals. For
that reason Bachmetieff hopes to sue
coed with other mammals. On this
basis the day may therefore come
when refrigerated cattle will be sent
not as carcases across the ocean, but
as animals in a state of "anabiosis,"
to be fattened on new pastures in the
land of their destination.
Bachmetieff's first exeriments were
with refrigerated butterflies. From
insects Bachmetieff proceeded to
warm blooded animals. The bat was
chosen as most likely, because like
temperature. Two hundred were
frozen to death" and kept frozen a
more or less long time and then re-
vived. Only in few cases did the
experiment fail.
Bachmetieff's refrigerated animals
are genuinely dead and if allowed to
thaw by ordinary process they would
remain as dead as an Alpine traveller
who has lain frozen all night. Never
theless, If the freezing and unfreezing
have been carried out on certain prin-
ciples the dead returns\to life.

the Chicago convention. Many per.
sons have expressed themselves on
the Ohio situation and hold the
ground that the results in Ohio to-
day will settle the matter of the
presidents ability to succeed himself
as the nominee of his party.
President Taft himself said last
week that his home state would be
in position to finally determine the
matter of his candidacy. With Ohio's
forty-eight votes added to the votes
already pledged to the president or
leaning toward his candidacy there
is no questioning the results. But If
Ohio follows Illinois and Pennsylvania
into the insurgent column 1t will be a
fatal blow to the Taft forces.
The loss Of Ohio will not only mean
the loss of As votes, but it will de-
fleet from the presidents support the
vote of New York and other states
not pledged and make it more than
probable that a dark horse will be
sprung early in the balloting and
sprung with an idea of being made
the heir of the Taft support Word
comes from the east and from many
sources that in the event a third can
didate is to be sprung on the conven-
ton that the name of Justice Hughes
is the one most likely to be brought
before the convention. but this emer-
gency will not be forced unless 1t is
apparent from the results in Ohio
that the president is fatally weak.
There are several things working
for Taft In Ohio that have not been
factors in other states that have gone
against him. In Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania local issues arising out of
purely personal matters worked to
defeat Taft The fight in these states
was a fight against boss rule, a fight
against Lorimer in Illinois and against
Penrose in Pennsylvania. A great
many of the voters in these states had
old grudges against the state ma
chine and found way to express
themselves through the operation of
the direct primary.
There is no machine in Ohio to
shatter. and on the other hand the
democrats with a fight of their own
in progress will not have time or in
clination to mix their ballots and take
hand in the republican primaries
In other words, the fight in Ohio will
be more nearly a straight fight with
the issue of whether or. not the pres
idency is to be supported. For this
reason If the fight goes against him
he will have less of a claim on his
party for the denomination. If he is
not supported in his own state with
state pride and a comparatively clear
field his weakness will be fatal Hence
it is that all eyes are conferred or
Ohio and all ears will be listenins
tonight for the returns.

SUPPRESSION OF THE ANAR-

coupling the recent dCIlNltieS VI tHS
authorities on the Pacific coast with
the action of the police in Paris and
elsewhere in Europe against anarchy
and sedition and we see that there is
a Worldwide movement for the sup
preston of the anarchist and for the
influences that tend to develop them.
A federal court judge recently de-
cided that an avowed and confessed
anarchist, a preacher of sedition, a
breeder of discomfort should be de-
prived of his rights as an American
citizen and he took away from this
leader the rights of franchise. This
movement is to be followed by q
probe to determine whether or not
other leaders of this dangerous cult
are not also anarchists and undesir-
able citizens, and if so to visit some
punishment upon them.
If they are aliens they may be
deported to the country from which
] they came, and they will find there
that public sentiment has been awak-
ened against them and that they are
regarded as open enemies to law and
order and men to be feared and APP
pretended and punished if they fail
to keep within the strict construction
of the law. But if they are Ameri-
can citizens guilty of sedition and
dangerous to the public they Will
probably be deprived of the right OF
franchise and placed under ban
They will be held really as men with
out country, enemies TO civilization
and foes to progress.
Reports from abroad show that
France is stirred as never before
against anarchy and that the full
force of the law will be visited upor
the culprits wherever and whenever
they may be found and their gull
established. This movement botf
here and abroad comes from the pres.
sure brought to bear by the people
who have risen in righteous indigna
ton against the outrages that have
come from time to time and seem t
be increasing rather than diminish
ing.
The anarchistic movement on tn,
Pacific coast and elsewhere in tn,
United States is a plea for unwar
ranted license under the name O
personal liberty. The movement il
traced In its origin TO leaders who
have no other thought or purpos:
than ITO foment trouble and to or
ganize the discordant elements il
society against law and order. TIL,
people are aroused and show thei
determination to sustain law an,
order and back the authorities to tn,
fullest extent in the matter of pre-
serving community rights. 1t is yer.
timely that the courts should go afte
the leaders and suppress the spread
ing of the dangerous doctrine.
