A LITERARY RIDDLE.
Who Was II Wrote the Tragedy OF
"Troilus and Cressida7"

hIVitAo uhd SiVostNNA
Andrew Lang has just propounded a
puzzle in circumstantial evidence.
"Who," he asks, "wrote 'Troilus and
Cressida?' r." You may answer, as you
please, Shakespeare or Bacon. II you
answer Bacon, Andrew Lang comes
back with the query, would Bacon
have said that Aristotle lived before
the Trojan warp Bacon was toe
learned man to make such mistake
which would be as bad as placing
Abraham Lincoln among the signer'
Of the Declaration of Independence.
If you answer Shakespeare, Andrew
Lang shoots another query at you
"The author makes Ulysses and
Achilles quote an author and discuss
a pretty long and strange passage
from that author, who was Plato.
How could Shakespeare have read
Plato?" For Shakespeare knew no
Greek, and In his day Plato had not
yet been translated into English.
1t is quite conceivable that Shake
speare might imagine that Plato and
Aristotle lived many centuries before
Homer, but 1t is inconceivable that the
erudite Bacon should fall into such an
error.
Andrew Lang does not pretend to
solve the riddle. He frankly says, II
give 1t up."-New York World.

NOW IN DANGER
| OUR JONATHAN JR. ENUNCIATES
| HIS PERIODICAL WARNING.
Enemies Hamper Operation
of Initiative and Referendum
After Accepting Principles.

Pursuing popular government
campaign commenced over two years
ago. Senator Bourne. as president OF
the National Progressive Republican
League, has issued an appeal to pop
ular government advocates to guard
against tina emasculation OF the ini-
tiative and referendum by pretended
friends. He says:
Enemies OF popular government.
realizing that this movement has
gained suoh headway that it's ultimate
success ia certain. have turned as q
last resort to the expedient of accept
ing the principles but defeating their
purpose by hampering their operation.
Friends of popular government must.
therefore, be on their guard and fight
uncompromisingly against efforts OF
| this kind.
"Three general expedients are re-
sorted to, to defeat the initiative and
referendum. First, IL making the
required percentage Of petitioners so
high as to practically prevent the
filing Of petitions for either the ini-
tiative or referendum: second, Ey ex-
empting from the referendum all mea-
sures that bear the mere declaration
of the legislature that an emergency
exists; third, by requiring that mea-
sures submitted to vote OF the peo-
pie under the initiative, shall not be-
come effective until ratified by an
affirmative majority of all the votes
cast at the election.
Experience has demonstrated that
the initiative and referendum powers
| are practically nullitied il the number
of required signers to petitions be ma
terially greater than eight per cent for
the initiative or five per cent for the
referendum. Experience also shows
that some of the most meritorious
measures that have been adopted I'M
der the initiative would have failed Of
adoption IL the constitution bad re-
quired an affirmative majority of all
votes cast at the election. Each mea-
sure should stand or fall according to
the majority Of votes cast thereon.
''In the campaign which is now pro-
oeeding in many states for the cleo
tion OF members of state legislatures
who will be called upon to vote for
the submission of initiative and refer
endum amendments, the friends of
popular government should not be de-
ceived but should insist upon the sub
mission Of such amendments In prac-
tical form, and count as enemies Of
popular government, candidates who
refuse to pledge themselves to the sup
polt Of the initiative and referendum
In the form in which they have been
found successful In other states. An
open and aggressive enemy to popular
government Is less dangerous to the
cause than covert opponent who pre-
tends friendship but seeks to emas-
oulate the initiative and referendum
by limitations and exceptions which
make them ineffective.

RISKY POSTAL SERVICE.
In Russia the Government Opens All

Our own service of mails Is we'll or
ganized. There is little doubt in the
mind of the average person that when
he posts letter 1t will reach Its desti-

But in other lands he might well fear
for Its safety. In Russia, for Instance,
any letter or parcel that is regarded
with suspicion is Immediately opened

In Lapland the mails are carried In

protected against brigands and against

mountains more than 10000 feet high
Asiatic Russia, which Is apt to be
