for amending charters of cities hav-
ing more than 100000 inhabitants.
AS such amendment must be ap-
proved by three.ffths of the people
of such city before becoming effec-
tive, no serious harm eau come TO
state from granting the change sug-
gested. The change ldoes not in
crease the difficulties incident to
amending.
This year for the first time the
provisions of the referendum law
will be applied in Missouri. Four
acts of the FOrty-seventh general
assembly have been suspended and
will be referred to the people at the
November election for approval or
rejection Here is the first test of
the ability of the Missouri voters to
do statutory legislating. The first
one of these propositions will be
numbered nine (9) on the ballot.
Number nine relates to the num-
Der of men railroads shall employ
on certain trains and fixes what is
known as a full crew. The rail-
roads maintain the number is more
than necessary, and opponents al
lege the number this law will re-
quire is necessary to insure safety.
Number ten is known as the
county unit local option liquor law
Its object is to control the liquor
traffic with the county as the basic
unit.
Number eleven is designed to
delegate the excise powers of the
state over St. Louis to the city of
St. Louis through its local officers.
The excise power relates to the
control of the liquor traffic.
Number twelve is similar del
egation of the state power with ref
erence to police control of St. Louis
The last two are popularity known
as the home rule laws.
Other propositions may be add
ed yet this year through initiative
petitions. These may be filed up
to August 3rd. There is a practi-
cal certainty the woman suffrage
, amendment will be one ofthese.
! Since there is no probability of
r a constitutional convention, lively
public interest should be aroused
, in the amendments to be voted on.
The greatest and most powerful
agency for the education of the
public is the newspaper. Let the
fourth estate enlist now for the
campaign, so that when November
3 rolls around every voter will
know how TO vote yes or no on
these public matters of such vital
interest to the commonwealth. -

1000 Bid Farewell to DR.. H. ].
Waters.


Four thousand people gathered
at the Union Pacific depot in Man
haitian, Kansas, May 9th, to bid
farewell to President H. j. Waite S
of the Kansas State Agricultural
College, Mis-. Waters, and their son,
Jack, who left Manhattan for San
Francisco, from where they sail for
the Philippine Islands.
The crowd embraced members of
the faculty, the entire student body,
the college cadets, the cadet band
and citizens. The band played for
fully an hour before the arrival of
the train and the cadets stood at
attention.
There is a deep conviction in
Manhattan that President Waters
will not return to Manhattan. It is
generally believed that he will be
appointed to some important posi-
ton as soon as he completes his
work in the Philippine Islands,
where he goes to investigate the
educational and agricultural condi-
tons at the instance of the United
States War Department, DR.. Wat
ers will try to work some way by
which the women and children can
be taken from the fields and the
men of the islands induced to take
up the work of farming.
A rumor has also reached Man
haitian that David F. Houston, Sec
rotary of Agriculture, will soon re,
sign to take a place on the new
federal banking board. and thai
DR.. Waters will take his place il
the cabinet. Rails County Record

Without Fear or Favor.

The Louisiana Twice a-Week
Times says: In about 1885, when
we will have made our stake and
can print a paper just as we please
our personal column will be a great
deal more interesting than it
now is. Specimen locals then to
appear:
Ike Idler has finally succeeded in
marrying off his last daughter. The
groom has the sympathy of the en-
tire community.
The reported elopement of Ira
Sims and Bertha Doll, last week,
was untrue 1t was only another
of Tot Skandels lies.
Bill Kredit has bought & new
seven-passenger touring car. Bill
might try paying some of his over
due store accounts by running a
general delivery and transfer bust
ness.
Miss lima Leader gave another of
her semi-weekly social functions
on Tuesday. 1t is reported to have
been even more of a bore than the
one last Friday if that were DOS
Sible.
We are pleased to announce the
death of old John Grouche, which
occurred last night. The body will
be sent back to his old home for
burial 1t is believed that no local
minister would preach a funeral
sermon for him. You have just
read all the obituary he will get
from us.
Dan Labornott has bought the
first fishing pole of the season. Dan
is about as lazy and good for moth
ing as a mortal can be.
The next time we see Jim Clever
talking to Mrs. Nighthawk on a
street corner at HAS p. IN. we are
going to say something more
about it.
One of the Calder kids died last
week. Mrs. Calder had been too
busy with her club affairs to give
it proper attention. but she did at
tend the funeral.
Mrs. John Blatherskite is again
putting in one of the largest gar
dens in town. Her lazy, good-for-
nothing husband claims he isn't
strong enough to work. John did
however, spade up most of the
ground while digging for fish
worms.
It looks like Jim Nogude anc
Irma Ditto were going to get mar
ried. If old man Ditto accumuIates
a few more worthless son-in-laws
maybe he'll forget his checker board

Everything is encouraging this
year We have history on our side

Secretary Roach'S Wholesome
Advice.
Advice.

,
will have at least a dozen PROPOSE
tons and Secretary of State Roach
makes the timely suggestion that it
is not too early for the public to
familiarize itself with the merits of
these propositions. Since there is
no prospect of there being a con-
stitutional convention in Missouri
the people should interest them.
selves in passing judgment at the
ballot box on the amendments that
are prosposed at each successive
general election. He says:
The righteousness of permitting
an unpopular measure to carry to
defeat all that are submitted, good
and bad, regardless of merit, should
be stopped. The voter should be
prepared before reaching the polls
to exercise discrimination. That
which is good should be voted for
affirmatively, and a negative vote
should be cast against that which
is bad.
In 1910, the people permitted
the prohibition amendment to carry
everything down, ten other PROPOSE
tions being slaughtered indiscrimi-
nately. In 1912, the single-tax took
eight bther amendments down to
defeat. Such regrettable results
are due more to lack of attention
than to lack of intelligence. Vot-
ers should inform themselves early
and not wait till election day to
learn of all the ballot shall con
tain,
Number one CD on the ballot
this year IS designed to exempt the
taxation question from the applica,
ton of the initiative law and to
provide for local authorities pass
ing upon the genuineness of sigma.
lures on initiative and referendum
petitions. To approve or diSap'
prove of number one on this years
; ballot is a very light tax on the
intellectually of any voter.
Number two (2) on the ballot i:
submitted for the purpose of giving
the people of Kansas City the power
if they so wish. to acquire munich
pal utilities. Why should the state
of Missouri arbitrarily withhold
that power?
Number three 60 is to pro.
vide for a state levy of one mill
for the improvement of the public
roads. Good roads cannot be built
without funds, and the only way
the state has to get money for any
purpose is to tax.
Number four (4) if adopted
will fix the salary of the members
of the legislature at one thousand
dollars per year. At the present
wage. most members of the general
assembly take the office at a finan
cial sacrifice, and many citizens
whose worldly goods are limited are
practically prevented from aspiring
to the Office of lawmaker.
Number five 90 is intended t.
give st. Louis debt-makihg power
for the purpose of building or &C
quiring a subway. If the people
of ST. Louis want subway, wha
sane objection can there be to let
ting them have it if they want Il
pay for it with their own money

Harvey Sullivan and Al Lungren, a pair of Juneau uightbirds with records to burn, struck Thlinget avenue last Monday night equipped for a red one. They made several calls, just for old acquaintance sake, but met a cold and clammy reception, even when they offered to divyy on the joy stuff. They insisted with more noise than is con- sidered good form in that aristocratic ueighborhood. Marshal Shafer came along about that time and put stop to their peregrenations. Judge Henson solemuly assured the gentlemen that it would be about 60 days, however he suspended sentence while the gay ones hastily made speed back to that dear old Juneau. In Douglas the 60 days still waits for them.
