suffering.
She asked Bjschelle TO sell her the
horse that she might kill it. she ia d
seen 1t pull eight men from Rye to her
place every morning. But BischeIle
would not sell the horse. nor would
he kill it. Mrs. Church compromised
by offering to feed it. Yet food did
not benefit it,
When Bischelle came to work on

not to drive the horse. He paid no
, heed. so early Thursday morning
when Mrs. Church arose and found
Bischelle beating the animal, she
caused Sheriff Finnegan to arrest him

Church paid the amount and then
obtained Bischelle's consent to sell the
horse TO her, whereupon Dr. Vail put

To heap Goals of fire on Bischelle's
heao, Mrs. Church invited him to re-
turn with her in her automobile. He

senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.. presi-
dent of the National Progressive Re
publican League, issued an ap-
peal TO popular government advocates
10 guard against the emasculation of
the initiative and referendum.
lie said: Three general expedients
are reSorted to to defeat the initiative
and referendum.
First, by making the required per-
centage of petitioners so high as to
practically prevent the filing of peti-
tons for either the initiative or refer
endum.
Second. by exempting from the
referendum all measures that bear the
mere declaration of the Legislature
that an emergency exists.
Ihlrd, by requiring that measures
submitted to a vote of the people un-
der the initiative shall not become eff
fectiVe until ratified by an affirmative
majority of all the votes cast at the
election.
Experience also shows that some Of
the most meritorious measures that
nave been adopted under the initia tive
%0uId nave failed of adoption if the
the election.
Each measure should stand or fall
thereon.
In the campaign which is now pro-
ceedlng in many States for the election
or members of State Legislatures who
VIII be called upon to vote for the sub
mission or initiative and referendum
amendments, the friends of popular
government should not be deceived but
should insist upon the submission of
such amendments in practical form and
count s enemies of popular govern
ment candidates who refuse to pledge
themselves to the support of the initia-
i've ana referendum in the form in
which they have been found successful
