The monotony of midday on the desert is thus broken by elusive forms that are ever changing and sug- gest a thousand fancies which divert the attention from the fatigues of the journey. The cool evenings and morn ings in these arid regions, when the purple shadows of distant mountains are thrown across the plain, have a charm that is unknown beneath more humid skies, and the profound still ness of theenight in these soituJes is always impressive. ."-U. s.

THE STATEWIDE BILL DEM BY THE PEOPLE
(By w.. ". TOmpkins.

Act No. 2 as submitted under the initiative and referendum IS called by whiskey men a local option measure and they insist that it should be submitted to vote of the people because the statewide bill was passed by the Legislature and the people had no opportunity to vote on it. The saloons were bitterly opposed to local option until the statewide bill was passed. Now they claim that they are very much interested in seeing local option maintained, yet the bill submitted repeals every local option statute in the state. The state wide bill was not passed until the people of the state had several times by their votes demanded such a measure. For nearly forty years the peo- pie have been voting on the question of license. At first the majority was always in favor of license. This majority was constantly reduced at each cleo tion until about ten years since when the majority was against license. This majority against license has constantly increased and the people have several times by their vote demanded that this should be a dry state, and the statewide bill was passed in response to this de- mand which had grown so strong that no self-respecting legislature could afford to vote against it.
