Afraid Of the People

without intending any undue crit
icism of the Supreme Court of the
State of Washington, we venture to
suggest that in recent decision it
gives further evidence to the lay mind
sf a disposition on the part of judges
to exasperate public opinion by tech.
meal points in the interest OF the
Interests. Under the laws of Wash.
inSton, municipalities have the right
70 amend their charters by 1nitia-
tive. Seattle has done this with ref.
erence to public utility corporations.
The people of that city amended their
charter by providing that under
franchises granted to private corpor-
ations for public service, the people
o. the CITY should have the right
1t any time to take over the cor.
porate property upon paying its val
10 exclusive of franchise value. This
reservation is now held by the Su-
pEeme court of Washington to be in
valid.
Do you ask why? Because the
power to grant franchises is State
power, and, although it may be dele
gated by the State to cities, and has
been so delegated, the delegation is
to city councils, and not to the peo-
ple by Initiative. Consequently, SO
argues the Supreme Court, the City
Council may grant public franchises
on any terms it pleases so far as
any restrictions imposed by the peo-
PIE of that city 60, Notwithstanding
that those restrictions are part Of
the city charter, embodied therein by
the people under their conceded right
to make their own charter by Ini-
tiative. The Supreme Court of Wash.
ington may be a very able and hon.
orable body, but this decision seems

Every voter must, and doubtless
will, IL he or she be a good citizen,

carries with it an obligation. The
obligation in this case Is that you

Women's Love Of uQIy Men,

The illustrious men in history who
were distinguished as much for the
fascination which they exercised over
the fair sex as for their talents and
ability were. as rule, plain and In
sinificant in appearance. Julius Caesar
was very Ill favored man. and yet
when a mere STRIPPING, before his fame
in Rome, girls Of his own age sighed
for him and mature women longed for
his love. Among the men Of later times
who were renowned in like manner
were Sir Philip Sidney, plain almost
to ugliness: Paul Searron. the comic
poet, a cripple; vOltaire. Enthusiastically
ugly, and Rousseau, whose manners
were awkward as his face was plain.
while John Wilkes, who had the power
to subjugate any woman who spoke to
him for even FIVE minutes, was admit
ted by his own showing to be the ug-
Hest man in England In his time.
