 The indorsement by the General Federation of Wornen's Clubs at its recent biennial in San Francisco of an ocean-to-ocean Lincoln memorial highway emphasizes the interest which has been aroused in this pro- ject, and it is now certain of success by reason of the active support of this great body of earnest and patriotic women.

 The commission decided that the conditions were much as complained of, and should be remedied. Among other things, it was found that, while larger reservoirs and main pipes would give more adequate service, still the present reservoirs and mains, es- pecially in view of Sne testimony pre- sented that BeardsleE Pond hag an inexhaustible supply, are not neces- sari1y inadequate in size, if properly cared for and maintained. Consid- ering the financial standing of the patronage, the commission does not deem it advisable or necessary at this time, to order the company to replace its present eight-inch main pipe with a new one of larger dimen- sions.
 The commission orders that the wa ter company purify it's waters drawn from it's present reservoirs, by f1ltra- tion, with, if necessary, preliminary treatment by coagulaI1on or aeration, as will result in furnishing it's pa irons with water free from patho- genie germs, suspended matter, no ticea bIe coloration and unpleasant taste and odors, at a pressure con

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

The first State of the Union to se- cure an effective form of G1le initia- tive and referendum, by constitution al amendment, was Oregon. The sys- tenn became effective in 1902, and was upheld by a decision handed down by the United States Supreme Court a year ago to-day. Several States, in -c1uding Iowa, Nebraska, South Dalzo- ta and Illinois, had experimented with the new scheme of direct legislation before Oregon, but the latter was the first State to give it real trial. Since then the movement for direct 1egisla- ton has been extended to a number of states, and is almost universal in the West. The initiative has been defined Rs "tne givigg to the peq@l9 the right of proposing legislation to be acted upon,' while the Referen- dunn is defined as "the initiative and referendum originated in Switzerland, where the system has long been sue cessfully used. When first proposed in the United States it was a "Popu- Iistic'' and Socia1istic measure, and was denounced in bitterest terms.

EDITOR CHESTER S. LORD

Lord was one of the forces that directed the news gath leriuy of the Sun for more than 30 lveays. AS it's managing editor for a nargaapaet of this period he did much Ito fnaEsa sE shine and to give it that kdiselnctfve flavor which it so long en- l5oyed hut which it appears to have lbesn gradually losing these latter lye9B.

It's manner kof 4eTtng a story was bewitch1pg, it's wit was proverbiaI while in the field nDf fnvectfve 1t was alone. Its col tun1ns br9stIed with the best stories of the day and as teller of what is now known as heart or human interest tales 1t bzazed the trail. It Is still a great newspaper but candor conpe1s the admission that it no longer charms the nevspaperman as it did in the days of its pristine virtues when it's every tale bore the imprint of the master story teller. It was the Sun way and the Sun way became the way of nearly all the great writers of the Dana. period. Every cub re- porter aspiring for favor in the eyes of his city editor tried his best to give his story g. sort of Sun twist. The Sun way of telling stories was recog- nfzed as embodying a distinctive style, and fortunate indeed was the ambi- tious writer who could initiate it for his employment was assured. MT.

 While no wlse person holds that a woman's whole time should be E2a11E in her home without change or re- creation; all recognize in her the pow CT to make or mar domestic felicity and, weighing all these things care fully, the Catholic woman has little desire to enter the political arena.
