REFERENDUM Is UNDER
 ATTACK IN OREGON
Holding Up of University Appropriation Gets
 Into Courts

EUGENE, ore, March 4:--Alleged abuses of popular rule through the referendum will be pointed out this week when the suit of the University of oregon against the secretary of state, is argued in the state supreme court at Salem. The 1911 session of tine legislature appropriated s50O,00O for the University of Oregon, which is located here, but before the law be came operative, a referendum petition filed by one II. J. Parkison was pre- scented to the secretary ?f state and accepted tying up the appropriation until 1912. when the people would be given an opportunity Co vote on the question. Cursory examination of the petitions showed evidences of fraud, so suit was brought bI a regent Of the university to prevent the secre- tafy Of state putting the referendum question on the ballot. Attack was made on the petition on the ground that large numbers Of names were forged. and that various technicall- ties oI the law had not been compiled with.
 As the trial progressed. Parkison was forced to admit that he knew some Of the work of his agents was fraudulent. but counsel for the sec retary of state contended that, elim- mating the fraudulent names there would yet be enough to make good the calling Of the referendum. The state objected that the plaintiff in the case had no right 10 bring such Suit, and that he had not followed the prescribed forms.
 Attorney for the state university, on the other hand. maintain the right Of any legal voter to bring such suit and furthermore they make the main contention that fraud in part of the petition invalidates the whole, espec- tally where the fraud is so extensive and Is so well known before the filing of the petitions.
 The case has aroused much interest in oregon, which state was the first to adopt the initiative and referen- dum. and various means of safeguard ing the principle are being discussed by friends of the law, for they fear that if frauds are allowed to get by, worse frauds will be perpetrated ard the whole system brought into dis repute.

AMIABLE STUPIDITY IN WIFE
Once Clever Woman Was Doomed to CeIibacy Unless Clever Enough to
 Act the Part of Fool.

Some years ago a smart London magazine invited 90 prominent men of the day to declare their taste in wcm- an and particularly whether they pre- ierred clever or stupid wives.
 And the 90 masculine nabobs, lit- erary. artistic, legal. commercial, rushed eagerly into print on this most delicate subject
 Fiorty-two Of them, comments a Los Angeles newspaper woman, pro, nounced in favor of amiable stupidity. especially in wives. Seven of them one was Max O'Rell-balked the ques- ion and found charms on both sides. And only one declared that he honest. ly preferred . clever woman, provided she did not think she was clevereI than he was
 And what happened? IL just shows the cussedness of the sex. Instead of promptly cultivating amiable imbecil- fly and thus making the supply equal to the demand every last female among them decided that she would be clever from hencef0rward. No com mercial instinct. you seei ! And for year or two things came to such a Fass taat a clever woman was fotedoomed to celibacy from the outset unless sac was clever enough to act the fool From the marriage records one reasonably concludes that 8 good many Of them acted the fool But now? Why there never was such a demand for clever women. Not only are they considered absolutely : necessary in the various professions in

RELIGION IS HIS BUSINESS
Preacher Knows How It shoaid Be Transacted and Does It Better Than OtEers.

h this new movement it is inter esting to note the cavalier way in which business men" give the preach CTS the back seat. It is as if these committees said. Now you clergymen are the best Of fellows, but you are ignorant of business methods. It is high time religion and business prin. ciples applied 10 it. All that is need. ed is to take right hold of this thing, the empty pew. and run 1t as we run one of our corporations. Business is business, and these pews can be filled. A factory with a good product only needs business skill to get it's product on the market Now watch us do it."
 Now the preachers business is re- liglon. Why not let him transact it? He has transacted it up to this time. For centuries he has been miserably paid. He is often old and pensioned with a pittance. and many of the business men" seem not 10 care.

WOMAN'S MOST SUCCESSFUL
 MEDICINE
Known All Over The World Known Only For The
 Good It Has Done.

We know of no other medicine which has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women, or received so many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 In nearly every community you will find women who have been restored to health by this famous medicine. Almost every woman you meet knows of the great good it has been doing among suffering women for the past 30 years.
 Tn the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health, in which many openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, |, many of whom state that it has saved them from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is made from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
 The reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, re- storing it to healthy and normal activity.
