It now appears that the good
roads and coal amendment, which
carried by big majority, may be
declared illegal. The constitution
provides that eff more than one
amendment be submitted they
shall be submitted in such manner
that the people may vote for or
against such amendments sepa-
a1ately." The constitution pro.
hibits the state from engaging in
any work of internal improvement,
but this amendment was designed
to make two exceptions-the build.
ing of good roads, and mining of
coal on state lands. The two were
submitted as one amendment, Civ
ing voters no opportunity to vote
for one without voting for both.
If the vote should be declared ille-
gal it would not be fatal to the
good roads movement, as any
county or combination of counties
can take advantage of the govern
ment offer.

Some months ago, while he was gov

The governor arrived late and was
not introduced to all OF the guests
because of their large numbers. Some

The governor promptly found the
napkin for young Roosevelt and snil-

the governors smile made Roosevelt
suspicious. A well-trained butler does
not smile.

Tie price of coal keeps continu.
ally advancing, but apparently
without any just canse. Coal is
one of the commodities not directly
affected by the war, and the price
at the mines is but little above
that of previous years. The
trouble seems to be with the trans.
portation companies. The lake
steamers, which transport the coal
from the eastern ports to Duluth
have been so busy transporting
iron ore that coal shipments have
been neglected. This is another
reminder that transportation ques-
ton is one that demands further
control. The welfare Of the gener-
al public should not be sacrificed
in order that. the transportation
companies may increase thei,

CELLO PLAYING HARD WORK
Experiments Show That Four Tons Of
Erergy Are Necessary TO Play
Single Selection.

A simple air played on the yiolOn-
cello calls for totnl expenditure of
energy equal to two md three-quarter
pounds per note or more than four toss
of energy for the single selection, notes
Popular Science Monthly. This is
vouched for by Prof. Poffenberger OF
Columbia university, who made some
experiments in his laboratory with the
aid of the famous Dutch icellist
Michael Penha.
A special apparatus Is necessary to
conduct the tests. Against the surfnce
of revolving carbon cylinder Is s,is-
pended achalk point which Is actunted
by slender wire attached to the
musicians finger. AT each pressure
the tension vibrates along the com
municating connection and records the
energy expended.
At recent test Michael Penlln Mt
times raised the point to n distance
equaling three pounds in weight, that
being the record of the foreilngcr. The
pressure alone required to produce the
characteristically luscious tones of Il
simple Bach aria averaged two and
three-quarter pounds per note. The
total energy expended amounted to
9,414 pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount OF energy would
his entire days work. Yet it took hut
five minutes for the artist to exert the
same amount of force.

Senator Cham berlain, of Oregon
promises to introduce proposed
amendment to the constitution
providing for the election OF presi-
dents by popular vote. This would
be in line with the principles of a
pure democracy, but IL would
probably meet with opposition
from the small states and the
thinly settled states which under
the present system have an advan-
tage. They are now entitled to as
many presidential electors as they
have U. s. senators and rspresen-
tatives, and each state has two
senators, regardless of population.
Thus they have an advantage in
the electoral college that they
would not consent to surrender.

Wartime Games in Paris.

Nearly all the kids of 1916 have
father or brother at the front. They
live in an atmosphere Of heroism. All
the little folks-of the lycee. the
common schools, and even of the kin
dergarten-play soldier in the streets
and in the parks. You see them at
their war plays such as Willette has
pictured Mt Rue st. Vincent de Paul corr
ner much to our delight. ingenious
plays in which it is hard to take the
part Of Boche, and in which Justice
would demand that each in turn took
that detested part-but is there ever
any justice, even here?
All. the tiny ramparts and trenches
that have been built by boys and girls
this year on the glistening sands of
the beaches, smoothed by the rcccding

The girls in these war games usually
serve as Red Cross sisters; they care
for the wounded and nurse them with
jam and make-believe bandages. Or
else they are godmothers writing jolly
letters to the brave boys at the front.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Lincoln Steffens, the noted mag
azine writer, lectured in Vermillion
last week on conditions in Mexico.
One of the principal causes of the
revolution, Mr.. Steffens attributes
to the abolisbing, by ex.President
Diaz, of the community land sys-
tenn. Under that system each set
Element was surrounded by a tract
of community land, and each in.
habitant was permitted to cultivate
q patch of this LAID. By this
means he could with very little
work, raise enough to supply his
family with a meagre existence and
he was satisfied. When this land
was sold to private owners the Pc
on became desperate, and demand
ed a return to the community sys-
tenn. A study of what this system
has done hardly justifies this solu
tion. During the past three hun.
dred years the Mexican peon has
made little or no advancement in
civilization. He can have no pride
in his own home and no induce
ment to improve it. He thus lives
an indolent and stagnant life. The
community system has been tried
with our American Indians with
poor results, but since adopting
the plan of giving them land in
severalty their ambition has been
stimulated and many of them are
becoming prosperous and intelli
gent citizens. The fault with the
change in Mexico was doubtless
due, not to the breaking up of the
community system, but to the fact
that the community lands we're
permitted to be sold to speculators
instead of having it opened for
homestead settlement. In this res.
pect the poems have been unjustly
treated by their government, but
to return to the community system
would be return to the lives of
Incidence that have disgraced that
country for centuries.
