SUPREME COURT SAYS IT'S
UP TO CONGRESS
Washington,

Washington, Feb. 20.-The
supreme court yesterday admit
ed it wasn't up to it to say
whether or not the people of a
state shall govern themselves by
the initiative and referendum.
The admission was in the opin-
ion handed down by Chief Justice
White in what is known as the
Oregon case"
Oregon adopted the initiative
and referendum in 1902. Soon
after, the people of Oregon, by
means of the initiative, enthus-
iastically passed law taxing the
Bell Telephone company two per
cent on its gross annual receipts.
The telephone company refus-
ed to pay the tax, and began
throwing a fit in the courts about
the unconstitutionality of the mi
tiative and referendum.
The company's argument was
like this: Section 4, of article 4,
of the Constitution of the United
States guarantees to each state a

q Not long ago, the Burns agen-
,cy got the business of the Amer

from the Pinkertons. The Pink
ertons squealed about it, too.
They said Burns used underhand
methods.
And recently the Burns agency
hasn't been delivering the goods.
Bogus checks have cost members
of the association something like
$4,000 within the last few
months, and Burns hasn't round
ed up the thieves.
Then came the taxicab rob-
berry. The Pinkertons saw their
chance, and jumped in. They put
their best men on the job.
Burns got wise that he stood a
chance of losing the bank bust
ness. He called in his best men,
and told them they'd be looking
for jobs if they let the Pinkertons
beat them to the taxicab rob-
bers.
When these developments were
carried to police headquarters,
Deputy Commissioner Dougher-

MEMORIES

Cwritten for The Farmer, by Richard
 L. Johnson.0 When dewdrops have vanished, the bees seek the clover, To revel awhile in it's fragrance and bloom. But pass not the pansies that hands scattered over The little green spot that's a lost dar1ings tomb. He paled in the twilight, and died on the morrow. He died in the budding of beauty and love; The clouds wept in sadness, the birds t0iG their sorrow Aloud to each other in orchard and grove. AIast that the wood-thrush, whose song is the essence Of music the sweetest, oft carols aIonei AIasI that the lilies which smiled in our presence Must wither and fade by a little, white stone. That marks the green grave of the sweetest of mortalS That ever had wandered on earth for a time. Whose feet have passed in through the great, pearly portals To join in the music of choirs divine Newark, N. J., January 21, 1912.

1t Was a Gray Bearded Old One That
 Got In Its Deadly Work.
 'eWhat became of Bill Ricbardson 7'' I asked of quaint character l met in one of my travels on a western rail- road.
 "It came about in this way" said the commercial agent who tells the story. ''The reply of my companion for a day was: He died from the effect of the toke that bad been played on nearly everybody in that town. It may have been an old one when the morning stars shouted together for aught know. but it was new in our town and was sprung by Maine Yankee who had been living in our burg for several years. His name was Charley Daven- port, and he died many years ago. In his shuffiing way he went from store to store and said that he had just heard that a we'll known citizen had got shot. Then the people who had lis- tened asked where the man got shot. Davenport said in his drawling voice, "He bought 'em.''
 "'That very night, after everybody who had bit had got through cussin' Davenport. Bill Richardson. the old nOI01 k0eDGE .Ol tue lOWh "dS SAOl- Every one knew Bill Richardson. As soon as the accident occurred a friend of Bill rushed to a nearby doctor. He was a member of one of the big churches and was as well known for his piety as he was for curing nearly everything that come his way. But he was very sensitive man. Richard sons friend who called on the doctor was greatly excited
 "'Doc was upstairs when he was summoned to the window by loud knocks. He raised the window and asked what was wanted The man be- low replied that old Bill Richardson had got shot. Now it happened that Davenport had sold doc that day on the old gag. and he was as mad as a harried hornet about it. So when the man below told him that old Bill Rich ardson had got shot doc forgot about his religion and yelled back: You go to blazes. I know where he got 'emT' And with that he slammed down the window and went to bed.
 "'Before the friend of cd Bill Rich ardson could find another doctor old Bill had passed away. He might have died anyway. but if it hadn't been for that old joke he would have had a chance. The joke didn't stop with old Bill's death. It was soon noised about that doc had cussed from his window. and he was haled before the church session and there was a smart scandal for several days. but when it was ex- plained how doc had been sold he was declared not guilty. l lived in the town several years after that and as long as I did I never h?ard of any body playing a joke of any sort "- New York Herald.
