Taft combined is 1 305, 080 votes
more than were cast for Wilson.
Yet the united vote of the Taft
and Roosevelt forces was SO, 224
less than was cast four wears ago
for Taft. Wilson's total vote
for President was l04, ,919 below
the vote cast tor Bryan in 1908.
The total vote cast this year,
is, ,04i, ,655-- is only 156, ,666
larger than the whole vote cast
four years ago, in spite of the
fact that two new states, Arizona,
and New Mexico, have been
added to the Union, and women
have voted in California and
Washington. The Socialist vote
has increased over 100 per cent
and the prohibition vote decreas
ed about 20 per cent. With
these conflicting forces in the
country and hungry Congress
on his hands it is predicted that
President Wilson will have
troubles of his own.

the court may be hampcred. a large

and if there arises any doubtful point
in the meaning of a written document,
the Justice or injustice of his conten-

crooked party generally loses, still
he has put his opponent to trouble

conscience by blaming his attorney,

persons who know him will not make

AMONG the sensational bits OF
news" it is stat,i that the Ma
tional Piano Dealers Association
lately burned 300 square pianos to
get rid of them, or rather replace
them with "uprights." The alb
surdity of this statement is appar-
emit on little reflection. The mater
ials of which pianos are made is ex-
ceedingly valuable for other uses.
The finest rosewood, mahogany and
other choicest woods, the ivory, and
the steel, are worth too much for
other uses than to consign them to
annihalation by fire. The statement
was simply a tradesman's dodge to
place the old-style piano so far in the
rear as to not spoil the sale of a new
er make, and to do the work well the
fiery furnace. like the fate preachers
assign to the sinner, is not too hot
to serve the turn.

An Important Ruling.

1t seems that the constitutionality
of the Initiative and Referendum has
been practically affirmed by the SUI
rreme Court of the United States.
This question was raised in Oregon
when the State attempted to recover
from the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Company so. $50 taxes on
it's gross earnings, under authority OF
the initiative law passed in 1906.
The telephone company sought to
evail itself of contention of invalid
ty of the law. The main issue was
based on the assumption that the Or
egon system violated the guaranty
OF republican form of government
to the States; that it was revolution
airy and blended the departments of
government; that it confused stat
utory with constitutional govern
ment. The State held that the law
was constitutional, and that the ques-
ton at issue was not one for the
courts at all. This point was up
held by the Supreme Court. Only
Congress may object to the 1nitia-
tive and Referendum method of legis-
latiOn in the States.
The recall feature of the law is not
involved in the decision. 1t is good
Jeffersonian doctrine, that the judi
cial should not invade the political
branches of the government. 1t
would have been better had that
court learned and applied this doc
trine in some of its previous decis-
ions, for instance by declaring legis-
lation fixing rates of transportation
for public service corporations, max
ing the court the arbiter to deter
mine whether the rates are reasOna-
BILE or otherwise. This ruling gave
the people very little show while the
corporations keep the books and the
public was compelled to accept their
estimates and figures.
