Oregon has had its troubles with the
initiative and referendum and now the
voters of California are Informed that
they will have a ballot 24 feet long
and four feet wide to wrestle with at
the next election. In addition to a
long list of candidates of all parties
for the various state and county offices
to he voted for, the electorate will be
called upon to register their opinions
on close to a hundred legislative prop
ositions. The amount of time and
thought the average voter viii give to
each of these questions during the cam
paign and the degree of intelligence
with which the voters as a whole will
approach their task on election day
may well be conjectured.

In view of the lukewarm manner
in which the various candidates for
Representative Plumley 5 job have
been received the Burlington Free
Press makes the suggestion that the
voters of the second congressional dis
trict "strike out and name a candi-
date who would combine most of the
advantages which are lacked by those
named in various directions The
Free Press thinks that the qualifca-
tions of youth, good presence, speak
ing ability and knowledge of public
affairs are combined in Walter J. Big
Glow of the st. Johnsbury Caledonian.
This suggestion is worth more than a
passing thought, although it probably
will not awaken much enthusiasm in

One feature of Mr.. Clements state
ment with which a great many peo-
pie will not agree is that which lays
blame on the Democratic administra-
ton for "their laundering in Mexi-
CO.. In view of the suspension of
hostilities in that country and
the turning over of the government to
the constitutionalists no fair-minded
person can do anything but admit
that President Wilson Mexican pol.
icy has been justified in every detail
This fact is all the more impressive in
view of the frightfuI turmoil in Eu.
rope at the present time. However
Mr.. Clement 5 opinion of the Mexican
situation probably does not affect hi:
qualifications for governor.

SATURDAY, AUGUST s, 1914.

The Rutland Herald alludes to the
detention Of CELIA Barber in the
"noisome keep at Newfane. The
girl S name is Ella Holland and the
only Barber mixed us in the affair is
Barber park where the scrap occurred.
The prisoner is detained at the hotel
which is in the same building with the
Jail. Whether this is a noisome keep
or not, nobody knows but the board
Of health, and they won t tell. When
the repairs ordered have been made
we expect the editor of the Rutland
Herald, if he is arrested for political
INSTRUMENTATION, will beg to be de
tanned in Windham county jail instead
Of in Rutland. Even the Brattleboro
lock up, which is undeniably noisome
keep, is soon to be abandoned and
prisoners in Windham county will be al
most as comfortably taken care of as
fugitives from New York criminal in
sane asylums sojourning in neighbor
ing states. All this, however, is not
to be taken as conceding that the
state should have the power to detair
an innocent witness because of pow
erty.

Unpopular Government in the United
States. A. NJ Kales.
This volume is written by promi-
nent member of the Chicago bar, who
IS also professor of law at Northwest
eran University.
The author defines unpopular gov
eminent as one of centralized power
which is able to maintain itself in the
face of popular disapproval. The first
part of the book deals with the rise
of plutocrats; the second discusses the
struggle for a restoration of true de-
mocracy; the third considers construc.
tive measures, such as the commission
form of governm mt for cities and
state. These constructive suggestions
may all be summed up in the reform
known as the short ballot. Those VINO
read the book will find it a most effec
tive and convincing argument for the
adoption of the short ballot

The Kaiser may or may not be able
to shift the blame for the declaration
of war between Germany and Russia
upon the shoulders of the Gar, but he
certainly will not be able to throw up
on France the responsibility for the war
between Germany and her western
neighbor, nor can he gloss over the fact
that his deliberate violation of Belgian
neutrality and his fragrant disregard OF
other treaty obligations compelled Eng
land to enter the conflict.

The Shepherdess.
She walks-the lady of my delight
A shepherdess of sheep.
Her fiocbs are thoughts. She keeps
them white;
She guards them from the steep;
She feeds them on the fragrant height,
And folds them in for sleep.
She roams maternal hills and bright,
Dark valleys safe and deep.
Into that tender breast at night
The chastest stars may peep.
She walks-the lady of my delight
a shepherdess of sheep.
She holds her little thoughts in sight,
Though gay they run and leap.
She is circumspeet and right;
She has her soul to keep.
She walks, the lady of my delight
A shepherdess of sheep.
