Weekly under the heading Of
"The University Man in the Goth
Century" The address was an
eloquent statement and justifica-
tion of the progressive spirit of
the times and the evolution OF
modern Democracy. But the
most significant part of the ad-
dress was a warning with regard
to the initiative and referendum.
Prof. Van Hise-who certainly
cannot be accused of being a
''reactionary"-says that the at
tempts to remedy the evils of the
past by instituting the initiative
and referendum and. recall to CO.
yer all fields of government
lead to absurdity," and he pro-
ceeds tO show that while the peo-
pie can with advantage vote di-
rectly upon a simple concrete
proposition, they cannot so vote,
intelligently, upon complex ques-
tiOns of economics and sociology.
Wisconsin, he goes on to say, did
not commence her progressive
policy by instituting the initiative
and referendum, but by govern
ment by experts; and he con-
cludes his discussion of this
branch of his address by saying:
Therefore, it is the Wisconsin
noint of view that the initiative,
referendum, and recall should be
the last steps in the reconstruct
ed government of the twentieth
century, not the first. Those
states which nave made these
the first steps will, l
have many severe eX-
periences unless there be intro
duced also government by eX-
pert and expansion of knowl-
edge"

thereupon they become of no a.

he can do so according to his pre-

he may be honest or dishonest.
The courts may hold loof-the
sole arbitel: of every campaign
inaugurated under the new and
un-American system of govern

legislature never intended that
the application of the initiative

at the mercy of one man. But

that it will take many times

one of the principal of them, the

vociferates, that it must be

that it is hard to see wherein we are

According to one Of the editors or
the Standard Dictionary-a new edi-
ton Of which will appear in the fall
there are now about 100000 words
that can be recognized as English,
which is quite an advance over those
known to DR.. Johnson. We no8 know
that DR.. Johnson, for all his eruditton,
overlooked good many words that
might have been included in the mon
ument of his labors. so that 1t is mis-
leading to assume that the English
tongue has added something like 400,-
600 words since his death. So Won
derful and impressive a thing is schol-
arship that the men who are now
working on the great Oxford diction-
airy will be able to give US, when the
cL4nplete their laDOrs, much more
accurate notion as to how many Eng
lish words there were when Johnson
wrote.
But looking at these great modern
dictionaries conveys sharp reproof
to the mind that makes US far from
comfortable Nobody, of course, as

calves are a brick red shade until
about year old. The calf now in the
possession of Mr.. Poole was captured
several months ago by Mr.. Gordon. a
wen known hunter of western Min
doro The modus operandi pursued
was interesting, and worth describing.
The services of a score of native
hunters were required, who first To-
Gated a few head, and then proceed
ed to build around their feeding
ground an immense corral, miles in
extent. This corral was not a pre-
tentious affair. being only thin single
strips of bamboo, dashed to trees. 1t
proved as effieacious, however, as
though made of timbers. as the ami
male refused to approach owing to
the scent of human hands which clung
to it. Once located in a certain cor
ner of this corral, its size was con-
tracted, by placing another line of
bamboo strips through the center, cut
ting it in two. This in turn was di-
vided, after which the hunt began in
earnest.
Contrary to custom, one OF the ami
mails. a bull broke through the corral
and escaped, leaving only COW with
her calf. Upon first sight of her hunt
ers the mother charged, and was
killed. Shares We're then laid around
her body, which were sprung upon
the approach OF the calf, noosing the
sninal around the body and one leg.
The cage was then built, in which it

was carried by the score of carga-
dores to the sugar estate.
The animal soon became tractable,
learning almost at once to follow the
boy who took care of it, and its pc
culiarity of being restless without a
light in the corral was soon noticed.
With a lighted lantern near, the calf
lies down about nine in the evening
and sleeps till daybreak. but without
it, the baby is restless and sleeps less
than half an hour Of the night The
future of the baby timarao has not
been decided. offers having been re-
ceiyed for It from many sources, ow-
ing to its extreme rarity.
