Bond Amendment Effective.

Holding the bond amendment adopt ed and now in effect, Attorney Gen eral Moose says:
 The amendment received 54,7S2 votes, while 40,441 votes were cast against it. The vote for governor was as follows: Hays, 94,096. Kinney 3O,- 9S7, Hogan 1O.434; total vote cast fof governor, 135,517.
 "Of those voting on the question a majority were for its adoption, but 1t did not receive the approval of the majority of all the electors voting on the election, in accordance with the requirement. of article 19, section P. of the constitution.
 "The question Is whether 1t is nee essary to have such majority for an amendment submitted as No. IA was, under the initiative and referendum amendment to the constitution, which contains this provision: Any meas ure referred to the people shall take effect and become law when it Is ap proved by majority of the votes cast thereon and not otherwise
 If Amendment No. IA was not a measure, within the meaning of the word as used in Amendment No. 10, then there is no election provided by it at which an amendment submitted by the people may be approved or re jected. Manifestly the word was in tended to refer to the words, laws and amendments to the constitution, and any act of the legislative assem- bly, which are the questions of propo- sitions or things that come within the powers of the initiative and referen- dunn as set forth in the first paragraph of the amendment. It is much simpler and shorter and better form to use the general word measure than to set out the words laws. amendments to the constitution and acts of the legis- lative assembly, in the several places where the word measures is used"

The bot tom of the trunk was filtered with old letters and programs and operatic scores. He wrapped the gloves in a newspaper and got away without be- ing seen. He was as happy as a boy who had discovered an opening In the fence between him and the apple or chard. He was rather astonished to see Courtiandt kneeling in the clover patch. hunting for four-leaf clover. It was patent that the young man was not troubled with nerves.
 "Here!" he cried, brusquely. tossing over pair of gloves. If this method of settling the dispute isn't satisfac- tory, I'll accept your explanations"
 For reply Courtlandt stood up and stripped to his undershirt. He drew on the gloves and laced them with the aid of his teeth. Then he kneaded them carefully. The two men eyed each other little more respectfully than they had ever done before.
 This single court is about as near as we can make 1t. The man who steps outside is whipped"

The fact that our children are de-

brought home to us very forcefully
