MARK YOUR BALLOT PROPERLY

 Frequently voters are neutral on these questions and do not wish to vote either way and leave them un- marked In this case that ballot counts against the amendment.

NECESSITY OF INITIATIVE AND
 REFERENDUM.

The vast corruption of legislative bodies by wealthy and powerful cor porations and special interests have made 1t necessary that there should be some remedy for dishonest and inefYlcient legislation, and Initiative and Referendum laws afford this pro lection. They arc instruments that prevent the dehection of legislative agents from their duty to the public. They come to improve and more drm- ly establish representative govern ment the most precious inheritance of the past. Amendment No. 13 will strengthen the initiative laws c AR kansas

lGAS COMPANY LOSES-BOOKS
MAY OPEN IN TWO WEEKS
Another move to stall the opening
of the books of the Peoples Gas Light
and Coke Co. to the city's investiga-
tors was prevented by ruling of
Judge Jesse Baldwin yesterday, who
held that mandamus proceedings in
supreme court couldn't keep the cir
cult court from hearing the petition
of the city to open the books OF the
company.
The attorneys for the gas company
are trying -strenuously to delay this
investigation, but they've lost every
move so far. Atty Donald Richberg,
who represents the city in the fight,
believes that he will obtain access to
the books of the company within the
next two weeks.
This litigation grows over the i'm
pounded $10,000,000, which both the
city and the company claim should
go to them, the city as rebate for
the consumers who, it is alleged, have
paid an unnecessarily high price for
gas in the past five years, the COM
pany as fair return on invested cap
ital and property owned.
The opening of the books will show
the city just how much the gas COM
pany property is worth. If it is high
the company gets the money. If it is
inflated with watered stocks and
bonds the gas consumers will get re-
bates.

YOUR WEDDING DAY.
AND
The Famo"& Men and Women Who
Have Shared II.
June 8-Louis XIV and Marie-The-
rcsc.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

What II Louis XIV. the Grand Mon
arch had been allowed to marry the
woman he loved, What If his mother
Anne Of Austria. and Cardinal Mazarin
had needed his prayers when. as a pure
minded boy, he threw himself on his
knees before them and. with tears In
his eyes. begged to marry Marie Mancini
Mazarin's beautiful and vivacious niece.
One cannot help but wonder whether,
had this wish been granted. Louis XIV
might have found satisfaction in mar
ried I've, and have been free from the
stain of immortality which made his court
the most nearly like a harem of a Turk
ish sultan of any that has ever been seen
in Europe.
In spite of the honor that this union
would have brought to Mazarin's family
he was too single-minded and too crafty
a diplomatist to permit this mesalliance.
The two young princesses whom 1t
seemed expedient for the prince to marry
were Margaret of Savoy and Marie
Therese, the daughter of the Spanish
king. 1t is said that Marie Mancini threw
herself in a passion of rage when
she realized that she could not become
the wife of Louis XIV. and insisted
that at least he should never marry "a
woman as ugly as Margaret of Savoy"
1t was not in Difference to Marie's wish,
however, but simply because of the
greater expediency to French politics.
that the choice was put upon Marie
Therese. She was not, perhaps. so ugly
as Margaret of Savoy, but a duller less
interesting queen has never sat upon the
throne of France; and in many ways
Louis XIV was the most splendid of all
French monarchs.
Marie Therese appeared always to be
stupid peasant girl dressed up In
queens trappings, although she came of
one of the most distinguished lines of
European royalty. She was short, when
the ideal queen is tall and stately: she
possessed the heavy upper lip then, as
now, characteristic of the Austrian royal
family, and the heavy chin still char
acteristic of Spain. Added to this, ever
hanging cheeks, round eyes of insipid
blue and lusterless flaxen hair, and we
could not get better picture of COM
plete stupidity.
But had the queen been as beautiful as
Louis of Persia or Mary. Queen of
Scots-one has come trouble in citing
beautiful queens, even by way of ex-
ample-the ceremony of her wedding
could not have been more magnificent.
1t began on June 3. when she was mar
ried by proxy in Spain, and continued
until June g. when the Ceremony was
completed in Paris. 1t was two hundred
and dfty-six years ago that the alliance

"Only a sissy would have lost her

That's ell right, Miss Mary" he
apologized fol me. "Yer not much

climbin'. ! never would have got as
far up in the maple tree as you did.
How many eggs was there you saw
in the nest:"
-Four little ones" l replied, wiring

the sun to dry. They must have
been robins eggs, for they were

IF you climbed up there now"
Johnny suggested with a twinkle in
his eye, Il think you could tell me
how, many eggs the ma bird had

For shame, Johnny" l laughed.

And these are the games | am

the fulfllmcnt OF the blossoming life
to come.

was consummated. for indeed this mar
riage was much more significant as
Spanish-FrenCh alliance than it was as
marital union. For this occa sion
pavilion was erected directly over the
border line between Spain and France.
The young French king advanced to the
exact center of this pavilion on a gor-
geous piece of French carpet made in
France, while the Spanish king, the
father of the heroine of the little drama.
walked on a Spanish carpet wrought of
silver and gold. Standing directly on the
line that separates Spain and France the
two kings embraced each other with true
Latin fervor.

for abandoning himself to the innocent
charms of the gentle La ValIiere or find

OF course one blames him for the tickle
ness with which he turned from one to
