rHE RECALL IS NOT NEW.

The initiative, referendum and re-
call are not progressive but reaction
ary and revolutionary. This fact was
brought out by Nicholas Murray But
Ter. president of Columbia university,
IN a speech last November before the
Commercial club of st. Louis. In the
speech Mr.. Butler said:
I'm 1890 there was discovered the
lost work by the philosopher Aristotle
on the constitution of Athens. The
reading of that work tells us much
more than we previously knew OF the
working of the Athenian constitution.
we can now see more clearly tnan
aver before why it was that Athens
with all it's glory went to pieces. The
Athenians not only appointed their
generals by popular vote, but they
voted every month or two as to
whether they would recall them. They
recalled Pericles; they recalled
Laches; they recalled Thucydides;
they recalled Alcibiades. A general
would be sent out to take a fort or
to reduce a city. He did not succeed.
AS soon as the news reached home he
was recalled. A general was sent out
TO land an army in Sicily. Before he
reached there he was recalled. This
sort of thing has all been tried. 1t was
tried at Athens to the full, and the
Athenian democracy is now an inter
esting and instructive memory. Why
must we Americans always be chill
dren. Why must we always seek to
learn over again at our own cost the
lessons of experience which the
worlds history is ready to teach us
for the asking?

mitted to perfect our form of
government instead of changing it?

development Of the last 500 years?
Why must we turn back and begin
all over again to climb the painful hill
of difficulty which leads to representa-
tive government and to liberty? 1t is
to me a continual source of amaze
ment that those who urge these revo-
lutionary changes upon us do not seem
to know anything of the recorded his
tory of the government and of human
society. They do not, appear to know
that the instruments which they offer
us as new and bright and helpful have
long since been discarded as old and
rusty and outworn. Let them open
their minds and study history before
attempting to guide the political deyol-
opment of the American people"

Andrew Elser, the article explained,
had lived for many years in West
Twenty-third street boarding house.
Little was known about him there ex-
cept that he was lawyer. Several
years ago he had given up his down
town office. Most of his income was
derived from his fees as custodian OF
an orphan boys estate. About four
O'Clock in the afternoon the landlady
heard noise in his room like that of
a body falling. On entering she found
him lifeless on the floor. She had
called policeman, who sent for an
ambulance. The ambulance doctor
found that Mr.. Elser had taken poison.
1t struck me as a peculiar colnc1-
dence that two persons so far apart
in the social scale as Katharine Far
IRISH and Andrew Elser should have
chosen the same day to seek death
Was there something in astrology
after all? Had the stars decreed that
both should die? Had some conjunc-
ton Of the planets, some evil aspect
in the Zodiac driven both of them
the young heiress, in the bloom or
joyous youth, and the aged lawyer, In
his decrepit poverty-relentlessly,
help1essly, to self-destruction?
So deep was the impression made
on me by the coincidence that l took
the paper with me and read the &C
count of Elser's suicide to Louise.
Even as / read 1t aloud, this mex
plicable thought came to me with
startling force:
Suppose that these two suicides at
the same hour were more than mere
coincidence. Was it possible that the
same shadow had fallen on both these
lives? Had the same mystery driven
them to death-pact?
1t seemed absurd. 1t was unlikely
that Katharine Parrish had ever heard
of Andrew Elser. If the family had
known him Louise would have men
toned it. And yet-why had these
two persons sought to die on the same
hour of the same day? The question
would not let me sleep that night.

a laxative. At last. under circum-
stances explained in my booklet, | was
constrained to add the laxative ele-
ment to Peruna. This constitutes what
Is now known as the revised Peruna.
Now those who take Peruna will,
first, find themselves promptly re-
lieved of their constipation. Second,
the catarrh will gradually disappear.
And once the catarrh Is cured the con-
stipation leaves permanently. Then II
you follow the advice given in my
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Cathartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
