For the change which has come
over the aspect Of London within
generation is not merely topograph-
ical; manners and customs have been
transformed as completely as build

uaut. Not that expected to discover
miikmaids in procession. dancing mer-
rily before and after that pyramidical
garland glittering with silver plate
which once gave color and JOY to the
streets of London; all the mifkmaids

hand barrows laden with prosaic cans
and adorned with legends about 'pur-
ity, quality, cleanliness" and the like.
Nor was | so foolish as to imagine
that the May pole which the Puritans

But the champions of labor admit
no allegiance TO authority in any form.
And so it has come to pass that In
modern London It is the opponents OF
labor who claim May day for leisure!
Thus has the festival of Flora been
lost to poetry and gained for politics;
il Is no longer the day OF lovers, but
the day of laborers; day for stop
ping work to talk about work Such
a program commended itself to some
five thousand cockneys-men, women
and children-who formed up on the
Victoria embankment, and with five
bands and forty banners, processioned
to that corner Of Hyde Park near the
marble arch, which has long been
consecrated as the stump oratory
safety valve of the British capital.
The legends Haunted on the banners
were as eloquent as the speeches:
Anarchy is order" mo first, second
and third class" Equal rights, equal
work and equal leisure for all classes"
And the resolution which was put
from the seven platforms demanded
emancipation from wagedom," free
maintenance for all children" and a
six hours working day"
Peter Panites In KensIngton.
While the demagogues of labor we're
thus keeping their May day In ora
tortcal relaxation another and quite
different festival was taking place In
a sheltered dale OF Kensington gar
dens. To put 1t In few words, Peter
Pan was holding HIS first reception.
OF course, countless thousands OF
children have expected to find him
any day near the Round pond or by
the shores OF the Serpentine or under
the lime trees, but they must have
been mud-doggish or Mary-Annish, for
they never were successful Perhaps,
however, it was partly Peters fault:
as he was not grown up and never
intended to be he may have thought
the children would be nasty to him.
and so he never left his island IN the
daytime. But Peters guardian has
long been sorry for the disappointed
children OF Kensington gardens; how
sorry was plain enough on May day
morning, when Peter himself was dis.
covered in little bay by the Serpen-
tine beckoniHg to the birds with one
hand and holding his pipe In the
other. And he was not alone: In Il
cleft OF the tree trunk on which he
was perched stood old Solomon Cav.
while ali around scrambled countless
winged fairies and rabbits and mice
and birds. This was Mr.. Barrie's May
| day surprise for Peter Pauftes.
quietly on the night before he had
| had the curtains taken away and
when the morning light dawned IL
| glinted on the bronze OF the statue
which he has given to the children 90
! London in gratitude for their love OF
| his boy who would not grow up. And
so while the labor orators burdened
| the MAY day air with their turgid
periods Peter Pan piped to the child
| spirit "ditties OF no tone" and looked
! as though he might Jump down from
| his tree trunk and gamboi with the
mice and rabbits.

Initiative and Referendum.

Taking the stand that the initiative
and referendum amendments would
be giving back to the people the
right of rule and taking it from the
hand of a few professional polite
ians, Edward Armstrong in an ad-
dress at Dulth recently, said: '"The
most noticeable political development
of the last ten years is the rapidity
with which power is passing back
to the people, and in this passing,
the great state of Minnesota should
not lag behind the procession. "Some
twenty states have adopted the ini-
tiative, referendum and recall, and
not one of those states would now
consider for a moment the idea of
discarding these modern improve
ments in our governmental machin-
cry. Now why do we need the mi
tiative and referendum? AS a sup
port to the honest legislator and a
club over the dishonest legislator.
There lis not one honest member Of
our Legislature who would mot be
pleased beyond measure to have the
Initiative and referendum behind him
during the session. 1t would re-
lieve him of that constant pressure
to which he is subjected by men and
interests who have private axes tc
grind and special favors to, seek from
the legislature. No man or body o!
men is, going torspend money or time
to Influence the vote of legislator
on-a bill which they know can, az
ter the adjournment, of the .legisla-
ture, be put up to the people for final
decision. 1t follows, therefore, that
the, Legislators are left free to con-
osider-each bill on it's merits, the kind
of consideration which very few ills
receive under present conditions. 1T
has been 4said, that political condi-
tions in~Minnesota do, not require the
adoption of the initiative and refer.
endum, that we have gotten along
without them so far and Therefore
should continue without them. That,
of course, is the typical standpat at
titude. IEhe fact that your house
has never been visited by burglars
lis no guarantee that it, is never going
to be-, and Minnesota, will have the
opportunity next November of in
stalling bright up-to-date burglar
alarm. The initiative and referen-
dunn is, real oself-government in its
=truest,, sense, as it maaes the law
making machinery almost automatic
ally responsive to, the wishes gof the
people. Anything that makes more
democracy and is practicable should
. be incorporated lin sour laws. Tie
initiative and. referendum is a LONG
step toward the attainment OF true
democracy, and in the states that
J.. have adopted them they have been
proven thoroughly 2 practicable

MS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN
- ADVERTISING BY THE

One of the strongest points
brought out by George Irving in his
address before the citizens of Bemidji
Monday was that the Commercial
club should have business manager,
a man who would receive ample sal
airy to devote his entire time ito the
interests of Bemidji and Beltrami
county. 1t Is advertising the oppor-
tunities and advantages of this ter
.ritory that is going to develop it, and
only by systematic method can this
be properly done. ;Hibbing, Grand
Forks and many other places have
their Commercial club business man
ayers, and the results are more than
satisfactory. Another worthy pro-
position which he touched was the
uniting of the Business Mems asso-
citation and Commercial club, leaving
the former as a seperate committee
with it's officers to do it's work just
as efficiently. In unity there is
bound to be success.
