 Peking is very exclusive city and foreigners not welcomed with open committees from the Commercial club and the Booster brigade. For centuries the stranger who got into by mis- take mailed home his relatives in several segments. The city is surrounded by wall 30 miles around, from 9 to 50 feet high and in very good condition. These walls built about the time America discovered and very effec- tive at the time, but during the Boxer rebellion, fourteen foreign troops over it with gradually changing.

Two Ways of Conservation

statement by President Orme of the Water Users Association shows that there are two ways to conserve water for beneficial purposes one IS to store it. and the other is not to waste It. Both ways are profitable Within the last year loo'ooo acre feet less of stored water have been used py the farmers of this valley than were used the year before Also 25OO0 more acres of land were irrl- gated than were irrigated the previous year. and as a result of the more economical use of water, crops have generally been better and the 1ieos are cieer
 The most interesting, at least the most reas- s,lrng thing in statement of President OrIne is that valley with respect to water IS Tn pet ter shape than it year ago. and events have shown that there was water than was actually needed though many feared that there might be shortage.
 How rapidly this pleasing situation is coming

MIAMI COUNTY
 BILL WILL BE
 ON HE BALLOT
Supreme Court PoWcrlcss to Act Against Pending
 Legislation - Would Be Infringement of Rights of Governmental Department

The supreme court of the state yesterday affirmed the opinion of Judge Frank Smith, of Yavapai county, sitting as superior judge of Maricopa county in the Miami county division initiated measure, stating that the trial court had no right to pass upon the proposed con- stitutionality of a measure that had not yet become a law, for that was the province of the courts only after a measure has become a law. And that the court is powerless to enjoin the initiating of bill just the same as the court is pOwerless to enjoin a member of the legislature from in- trCducing bill into the legislature.
 The constitution is not in danger from a measure proposed while 1t is yet in the making according to the court, but the danger to the constl- hen with the passage of q bill q conflict is found. When such conflict is found the bill naturally becomes null and void insofar as it conflicts with the constitution. The indepen- Gence of the legislative and judicial departments of the government are provided for in the constitution and the judicial department cannot in fringe upon the legislative especially when such legislation is in process of construction. In like manner the in dependence of the departments of government is such that the sccre- tary of state, whom it is sought to enjoin in this case, is unable to act as to the validity or otherwise of the law, because to do such would be tantamount to exercising the powe' of life and death over every initiated measure of the people.
 In the opinion of the court the words legally sufficient" mean that ali petitions filed with the secretary of state upon initiated measures shall conform to the requirements of law
 as to form and signature. A petition
Arizona republican., 1914-09-19

is not legal if not regular in form and does not contain the signatures of legal voters as required. This re- quires that the petition be genuine
 The power of legislation and amendment to the constitution is lett with the people and the legislature and the courts have not the right to state what the legislation shall con- tain, but to say what it does contain and what it does mean after such shall have been passed. Whether the promised law if enacted by the people will be a valid exercise of the power reserved by the people to themselves in the fundamental law is not Tn thls case and cannot be determined by the court. But the court holds that the appellant the state on the rela- ton of the attorney general, is pse- cluded in this proceeding from queS- tioning the constitutionality of the proposed law. That question will be determined only when it is presented to the court in the course of litiga- ton by some litigant whose rights are involved.
 In deciding the case the court quoted liherally from opinions of the Oregon supreme court. notably State vs Olcott. 62 oregon. PIT. 125, Pac.; Threadgill vs C.oss 26, Okla, 40S, 109 Pac.
 The court said it was not con cerned with the question of policy as to whether it was right for the whole

Antwerp, is supposed to be in one of

that the military force is sufficient
to protect it. German cavalry appear

1t became apparent that the Dem

termined to put up a straight Pro
gressive ticket.
The Reformer holds no brief for the
Democrats of Windham county, but its
anxiety to see all parties receive fail
play inspires it to protest against sucI
piffie. Some of the delegates in the
Democratic county convention were
honestly opposed TO fusion, while 9th

be fair to both fusing parties, but az

These men are ready for immediate

RUSSlA.-A despatch from Petrograd
says that the Russian cruiser Pallada
was sunk in the North sea by a Ger
man torpedo. The entire crew of sos
officers and men persisted. A de-
spateh from Petrograd also says the
russians now expect the sympathy
of the Rumanians, and believe that
the people will withhold supplies from
the Germans.
GERMANY.-The German war Office.
according to a wireless from Berlin,
issued a statement to the effect that
a strong garrison defended Antwerp
at first with great energy and then
fled after an attack by the German
infantry and marine division. The
completeness of the breakdown OF
the Anglo Belgian troops was shown,
according to this report, by the fact
that no military authority could be
found to surrender and, the capitula-
tion of the city was negotiated with
the burgOmaSter. The report says
that the Germans took many prison
eTs and that many from the Antwerp
forts fled into Holland and returned
to Belgian soil.
ANSTRIA-A report from Vienna says
that in the face of heavy destruc-
ton the Russians have given up the
attempt to Ia Ike Przemysl. The Aust.

Cossack division east of Nymano. Ac
cording to the Austrian reports, the
Russians are retreating in disorder
