Judge Norton was n native OF Ken

In lS4S he was elected circuit iudsa in
q district that at that time comprised

souri, as far as the Iowa line, Six

In 1860 he was elected to congress
ana serl ed one term. Later he twice
served as a member Of state consttu'
tional conventions, and upon the
death Of the late judge Yoorhies OF
the supreme court he was chosen to
fill the unexpired term At the end
of the term he was elected to the
regular term of ten years.
Judge Norton became a member OF
the lodge of the Independent Order oil
Odd Follows in 1914 and had the dis
tinetion of being tie Oldest member
Of that society in the state. A te"
years ago he was awarded meda
of honor by the Grand Lodge OF odt

tically destroys the Initiative and
Referendum, the greatest weapon
of the people against corruption
and privilege. 1t does thiss
(D BY denying the right Of
the people ever to change this
provision Of the Constitution If
adopted,
(2) BY providing a system Of
filing petitions and verifying sig
natures so filled with jokers in
regard to the time allowed for
that work as to enable a few neg
ligent county officials to defeat
petitions signed by thousands Of
voters,
(3) BY preventing any defeat
ed proposition from being re-sub-
mitted for five years.
(4) BY preventing the use OF
the Initiative for any change
whatever in our tax system.
(5) BY giving the Legislature
power to re-enact law rejected
by the people through the Refer
endum.
1t is absurd to offer the Single
Tax as reason for favoring this
sweeping amendment, because
we are in no danger from a mea-
sure which is buried under q
425,0 majority.
Every believer in free govern
ment should vote against this IN

Rowing to the bottom Of a 75-
foot we'll in a boat is q feat some-
what out of the ordinary. At
Fishers cave, 7 miles southeast
of Springfield, it is being done>
however. The cave has a large
opening. A body of water fol-
lows its underground passage. 1t
is navigable by boat for almost
half a mile. Close to this point
the enterprising farmer who own
ed the land above the cave bored
well. When the drill struck
the cave it dropped to the bottom.
An everlasting we'll of water was
obtained, but it was not until
some time later that visitors in
the cave, through seeing rays OF
| light in it, made the discovery
that the farmer was pumping
water in the cave. As it con-
tains a falls a quarter OF a mile
from the mouth, preventing boats
from going farther, visitors must
wade through water to the well.
A temperature OF 58 degrees the
year around makes this exper-
ienoe an exciting one. II. f.
Fisher, owner of the cave, has
hundreds Of beds Of mushrooms
on the shelves of the cavern, /,
