ASHURST in
LIMELIGHT
RECENT SPEECH IN SENATE IN
REPLY TO BAiLEY'S TRADE A
MASTERLY DlSCOURSE-DE-
FENDS THE PEOPLE,.

Senator Henry F. AshurSt of Ari-
zona is still being complimented up
on his most able exposition of the
principles of direct legislation in his
recent speech i'm reply to the swan Is
song of j. w. Bailey of Texas.
The speech was delivered by Senat
or Ashurst on January 2, when the
Senate was on tip toe over the pend.
ing departure of Bailey. Senator
Ashurst took UP point by point Bail
ey's assault ON the most popular forma
of popular government.
On the subject of initiative and re-
ferendum Senator Ashurst said:
Declares Measures Are Good.
1.-The advocates of direct legisla-
tion do not intend to overthrow a
representative form of government
The initiative and referendum would
strengthen representative government
in that such system would supply
the failures and delinquencies of the
lawmaking power 1t lis because the
law-making power has occasionally re
fused to enact wholesome laws that
has brought the demand for the in
tjative and referendum.
The initiative allows the people
to propose legislation, and the ref.
erendum allows the people to de-
feat vicious or unwholesome legisla-
ton. The supreme court of the Unit
ed States has held i'm numerous cases
that it has not the power or juriS-
diction to determine whether or not
the initiative and referendum is i'm
opposition to republican form OF
government; and only recently that
great court held the question to be a
political one that Congress was
he only authority under the Con
;ti,ution which had jurisdiction to
determine the question
''The congress of the United States
has already decided that the initiative
md referendum is a republican form
of government, for when the Senate
and House of Representative admit
members of Congress from a state
having the system of direct legisla-
tloll it thereby admits that a republi-
can form of government exists i'm
such state to which such representa-
tiyes are accredited.

But the stubborn courage of Eli
more, his superlative eloquence, bit
ing sarcasm, and wonderfully pierc-
ing analysis convinced the nation
that no mistake had been made in
sending a member of labor union
to Congress, and so strikingly did
this journeyman printer, this organ
izer of labor unions, this so-called
agitator' and 'demagogue' distinguish
himself for patriotism, learning and
ability, that he became confidential
adviser of the administration of Presi
dent James K. Polk
No Stopping Movement.
II mention these circumstances SO
that those who are supporting this
contest in behalf of a large human
liberty will not become discouraged,
but will become encouraged when
they reflect how much more inten-
sely heated was the opposition to
these reforms in the days gone by.
"He is wasting his time who be-
lieves he can stay or stop these
forward movements in their progress.

of those who perform physical labor,
for a greater share of freedom or
the right to enjoy part of the
creation of their hands and of their
own toi will inevitably live for it is
as broad-based as the world and deep
as humanity.
''The great lesson yet to be learn
ed by the nations is the lesson of
distribution. The earth can produce
Thousand times as much as is re-
1ulred for the comfort, convenience
and luxury of those who live upon it,
an it might Is well be understood
Ii. 10 AMI nov as elsewhere that this
question of the distribution of com
modities must be settled, and it is
not to be settled by little timely
pattlng on the back.
The heaping of all the wealth in
the hands Of a few, the unlawful
speculations and gambling i'm food
prices have the effect of increasing
the cost of living to a shocking de-
s%e. The heaping of all the wealth
i'm the hands of the few has the eff
feet of reducing the multitudes to
poverty. With all our great wealth
the figure of want stalks among us,
and thousands each year are destroy
ed by the Molcch Of poverty

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A LAoGING INTEREST. Volume of Business Drops and Lead : CTS Remain at Dead Level.

New York. Feb. 6-The favorfte mediums of speculation by which stock market conditions are gauged. remained virtually on a dead level today. Some of the less active issues moved more widely, but interest Jagged, and the volume of business fell off consider ably.
 Sentiment was still bearish, but trad CTS on the short side were held in check by fear of over extension of the short interest. In the opinion Of some traders, bear commitments have reach ed proportions which might spell dis comfort for the short interest in the event of the appearance of bullish factors. Traders on the long side were disposed to wait developments and the market was allowed to drift, There was some further selling of coppeFS. which were heavy through out the day, but losses were only frac- t1onal- The copper group was in fuenced bY further break in the metal market in London and by reports of substantial concessions in the do- meStic market
 The Hartman shares moved ia an uncertain way. Expectations of & def mite announcement of the dissolution plan were effective in restricting trad ing, not only in Union and Southern Pacific, but in the market as a whole. Weakness cropped out among q mum Der of speciaIties. Union Bag and Paper preferred at one time was down four points.
 Pennsylvania, which has been heavy recently, displayed a better tone. Engagement of S1.00o,0O0 more gold for South America brought up the to- tai outward movement this year to over s29 9ee .4e9 and in view of prevail ing conditions in the European money
 markets further exports are expected. Statements of the foreign banks show ed no improvement. In spite of the gold sent to France from this coun- try. the Bank of France reported an in crease in gold holdings of only s675,- 000.
 Business was we'll distributed in the bond market, but the tone was uncer- tain. Total sales, par value, $2, 10000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

cHooslNe GOLF OPPONENTS.
Better to Play With Experts, as They
 Bring Out Best Game of Player.

It has often been said that golf is a game for particular people, for those who are most successful are generally those who give especial care to de- tails. In cases where a golfer has the privilege of selecting his opponent, it is frequently necessary for one to use all the fortitude and delieacy at his command, for It is remarkable to what extent an opponent can affect a play CTS game
 There are those who assert that the wise and experienced golfer will choose his opponent with just a little more care than he selects his wife. In the former instance there is no gentle emotion to obscure his sense of dis crimination. A man may entertain feelings of the greatest friendship for another, and may yet have justifica- ton in avoiding a round with him. There are any number of estimable persons with whom player could as- sociate with benefit to his character, but whose effect on his golf is alto gether disheartening. There is no golden rule to follow in choosing op- ponents. It IS case of each player finding out for himself the kind of player who brings out the best golf There are times. of course, when a golfer must take the opponent handiest to him. and be glad that he has any one at all to -'~-- with. but when it is realized that life is short and time val uable, care is generally taken that these occasions are as infrequent as possible.
 Some golfers play their best game when opposed to men of greater abili- ty. The spirit of emulation causes them to rise to the occasion. Then, there are others on whom such occa- sions have directly the opposite eff feet. There is no system of handi- capping that can be invented that will equalize the chances of victory when a player allows himself to be obsessed by a sense of his partners superiority.
 The sternness of the struggle in spires the stronger player to remark to forget the excellent maima of sue cuess-that doggedness does 1t, that slow and sure will generally win, that steadiness is more to be admired than make up for a lot of other sins of commission or omission On the other hand, the weaker rlayer tries to do what he oueht to know lies beyond these maxims. On the tee he seeks to emulate the long, ralx1ng drive of his stronger opponent, and he presses with dire results. He watches a capital second shot. and vainly tries to copy it. When he has lost hole or two he makes still -reater efforts to beat his opponent at his own game. and before he has reached the turn he Is in a state of demoralfzation and despair. He not only loses the match, but his physical condition and his outlook in life are such that 1t may be a long time before he is convaleScent.
 It is perhaps a good thing to play against men who are better than our selves. but they should be only a little better, and these rounds, moreover, should be indulged in sparing1y. The strain that they impose on the nervous system is not light These matches tonics will not build up the golfng constitution.

Peculiar After Effects
 of Grip This Year
leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidemic of grip which has visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are very distressing and leave the system in a run down condition, par ticu1arIy the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected. as these danger signals often lead to more serious sickness, such as dreaded Bright,s Disease Local druggists re- port a large sale on pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack Of grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and. being an herbal compound, has gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed by those who try 1t. Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton N. r.. offer to send a sample bottle of Swamp Root, free by mail to every sufferer who requests it. A trial will convince any one who may be in need of it.

sTANAoE TO HAVE NEW JOB.
Will Have Authority Over Jennings Regarding Fitness of Pitchers.

Rumor has it that there will be 3 change in the method of handling the Detroit clubs pitchers in 1913. In stead of having this matter entirely in the hands of Manager Jennings, as 1t has been in the past 1t is reported that Oscar Stanage is going to have a large share of the say as to who shall work at a given time and when the per former on duty Is due for the derrick. Heretofore Stanage, in spite of the fact that he is generally considered by critics to be good as any back stop in baseball, if not actually the best, has had practically nothing to say regarding a hurler's fitness to go into the box and even less about his being relieved when he has shown signs of slipping.
 foundation up. Nobody else on a ball club knows as much about the pitch CTS as does the fellow who catches them day after day. The wisest mana sitting on a bench whether his choice for pitching duty NhaS anything, but the man with the bi mitt, who knows just what any s1abman can do when right, ought to be able to gauge to a~nicety just how the ball Is behaving.
 Considerably better results may be expected of the Tiger twirlerS, young and old, if Stanage is consulted every day before the game. And If he de- clares that a hurler isn't ready, some body else ought to be sent in, providing there is anyone at all available As there are times when pitcher who '-has everything will be pounded all over the lot. Oscars Judgment will not always be right Many times he will fall down and recommend for duty deceiver who is absolutely made to order for the opposition. But he will get the correct dope oftener than any body else could.
 There is a peculiar quality of judg- ment involved in knowing when to lit a pitcher, and lack of this quality has cost Manager Jennings dear in the past. Hughie seems to be particularly unfortunate in a tendency to leave pitchers in too long when they are going badly and the Tigers have lost a lot of games that might have been saved in consequence. Here, again, is where Stanage can be a big help. From the nature of his duties, the big backstop can tell whether man really is unable to get anything on the ball or merely is having bad luck and is due to settle down. It doesn't pay to yank hurler too quickly, any more than it does to let him finger until somebody hits him in the forehead with a line drive and knocks him SenseleSS.
 This is particularly true of young sters, and Jennings Is to be commend ed for letting some of the juveniles who reported last fall weather the storm of real beating just for the good that the experience will do them in the long run But it is apparent that when a man '.las nothing but 8 glove" the sooner he Is relieved the better chance his club will have of winning the ball game, and it will be Stanage's province henceforward to sound the alarm when the psychologi- cal moment arrives. Undoubtedly the added responsibility will inspire Stan age to pepper up." Under the cir
