The people have clearly express ed their belief that sixty days is enough time to make new laws every two years.
 It is the recall of all elective officers, state, district, county, township, city, town, or school district, which is likely to stir up more trouble than any other.
 The bond amendment will en- able cities and towns of over 1000 population to issue bonds for in. ternal improvements, a measure that proved very popular.
 The amendment providing that capital invested in cotton facor- ies shall be exempt from taxation for period of years was at last successful, after having been de. feated four years ago.

Don't Try to Educate Old People

In an article entitled Making Old People Happy, in the SOcto- Der Woman's Home Companion, appears the following;
 Don't attempt to reason any old person out of principles in culated in youth. You cannot them that drafts are not danger ous, nor that there is nothing in trinsically deadly in night air. In general, modern hygiene may be relaxed for the old. A body which has thriven for eighty years or so upon scandalously unhygienic principles of eating, exercise, and ventilation may we'll go on thriving to the end of the chapter. An amazing quani- ty of sweets may often be taken without harm.
 "The same principle of nonin reference with the notions of a life time may wisely be applied to less material things. Modern views, whether on higher criti- cism or or the hygienic neglect of babies, had better not be forced on the attention of old minds, being merely unsettling and painful. :"

New Law Adopted

Little Rock, Sept. Hone of the new laws adopted by the people in the general election, under the Initiative and Referen- dunn, is an amendment to the Constitution, providing that "all capital invested within the next ten years in this state in the manufacturing of cotton and f. Der goods in any manner, shall be and the same is hereby ex eD pt from taxation for a period of seven years next, after and from the time the person, per sons, companies or corporations have begun the business of said manufacturing"
 The same amendment, of which R. $. Warnock, of Magnolia, is the author, was defeated in 1910, by reason of not having received a majority of all the votes cast at the election, although there were 73,000 votes cast for it, and only 4,000 against it.

SENATOR MASSEY'S RECORD

The Reno Gazette in the course
Of a labored article gives several
reasons why Senator Massey should
be elected. One of which is that
democratic paI ers endorsed his
appointment to the senat0rship.
The Gazette. however, furgeIs that
the endorsement of tie democratic
press went merely to the new
senator's ability and character and
not to his political principles.
They were just as obnoxious to the
democratic editors then as they are
now. The Independent endorsed
Sena'or Massev's appointment
because it was in strong contrast
to that of George WingfeId. The
former represents the manhood
and intelligence Of the state AMI
the latter nothing hut a bag Of
gold.
The Gazette calls Senator Massey
independent. progressive and
fearless" lie may be so in his
business and social relations. but
as a senator of the United States
he has been n OF the sturdiest
stand.patters in that body. He has
consistently voted with them on
every important question. He has
followed Lodge, SmoUt, Pcnrose
and Crane and turned his back 60
LaFollettc. Bristow, Cummins and
the other progressives. He has
voted agains. every attempt Of
the progressive republicans and
democrats to revise the iniulitous
Payne-Aldrich-Taf tariff law.
His progressiVcnpss may satisfy the
Gazette. but il will have a difficult
task to convince the voters of
Nevada that il bears the lr ne
brand.
While we conccd, the high
character and ability of Senator
Massey, We do not believe that h,
is m whit more worthy and
capable than Hon. Key Pi'lman is.
Senator Massey believes in repuhIf.

WILSON WILL WIN

Gov. john Burke of North
Dakota. is assured of the success
OF Wilson and Marshall. and has
sent tie following signed state
ment to democratic headquarters:
Wilson will win in the coming
election for the reason that the
democrats are united and the
republicans divided There is no
good reason why any democrat
should not vote for Wilson. His
record since has been in public life
is a platform in itself that appeals
not only to the democr attic voters
but to many republicans as well.
They know that he is one of the
greatest intellectual men That we
have had in public life. and while
he stands firmly for democratic
principles he is never offensive and
there is no pan tisan feeling against
him. The division in the republi-
al party will give Wilson all the
pivotal states and many that have
not been considered.
Roosevelt will not be as strong
a candidate in the election as he
was in the primaries. AS a candi-
date before the National Repubi-
Ear convention he was a republican
