As l have said before that was the

Referendum Now and heretofore.

The Lincoln Journal finds fault with The
Bee for speaking OF seven" initiative and ref
erendum measures to be voted on in Nebraska
This year. 1t insists there are only four because
three of the seven are constitutional amendments
submitted by the legislature
The Journal is merely hsir-splitting be-
cause TO the voters 1t makes no difference how
the proposition gets on the ballot We say this
advisedly Notwithstanding the ingenious device
invented and applied in this state to carry con-
stitutonal amendments by reading as Yes" each
straight party ballot cast without any intent to
vote on the proposition at all. The fact is that
we have had the referendum on constitutional
amendments, on bond issues, on county division,
on changing county seats and on numerous other
subjects for long time, the only change now
being 10 extend it to practically all subjects OF
legislation. except appropriations and to pre-
scribe different parliamentary procedure.

the mistake In not consolidating the two

with the University OF Nebraska.
Men who want to take agriculture in
the University Of Minnesota cannot go
from one campus TO another without
wasting so much time that many cannot
take agriculture unless two full sets Of
teachers are maintained, doing the same
work at both schools This has kept so
many from taking work in the college Of
agriculture that the state decided 10 build
railway connecting the two schools and
run fast cars between tho two points.
Realizing the need Of college men I'm agri-

the work At Nebraska the street car
service is poor and the time lost In going
back and forth keeps many out Of agri-

Few people know that the organized

afraid little trade will go TO University

Il. Smith says: 1T is amusing to read of
some statements made by suffrhgist lead
ers in Nebraska. All OF them are forced
10 admit that we have better laws than
the equal suffrage states"
Mr. Smith is most amusing. We would
infer that he believes that men, alone.
are responsible for all the good laws OF
Nebraska. From personal knowledge of
the work of the woman's Christian Tenn
perance union and the Federated
Woman's Clubs of Iowa and Illinois
can safely state that the women of those
two states have been largely responsible
for the enactment OF many good laws
such as the pure food law, age OF con-
sent, anti-cigarette, etc. And what II true
OF these two states is true OF others
probably OF Nebraska. We believe that
II Nebraska women had Suffrage they
would close many OF your saloons
women, new to the use of the ballot
expect square deal, but when once de-
ceiVed are not often caught mapping the
second time. Because one woman turned
back after one year OF suffrage work
does not prove that the cause Is at fault.
there are men as well as women who are
first cousins to Lots WIFE and lack
backbone and sticktoativeness Suffrage
was not forced upon the majority by the
chivalry or men, but rather by the per-
sistence OF women. The ProhibitionIst
