NARROW ESCAPE
Infant Saved From Drowning By
Prompt Action of Mother-Water
IN Farm House Cellar Comes Near
Causing Fatal Accident Hurry
Call For The Doctor.

Louise MiXter the eleven months
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Anna
Mlxter who live on the farm owned
by Mrs. Rachel Tedrow four miles
northwest of Wauseon, narrowly es-
capped death by drowning last Satur-
day afternoon.
The drain for the cellar of the
house on the Tedrow farm had become
stopped up and in consequence there
was about two feet of water stand
ing in the cellar.
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Mixter were preparing to go to
Wauseon; Mr., Mixter had gone to the
cellarway for his razor and uninten-
tionally left the door unlatched. A
passing neighbor called from the road
and both Mr.. and Mrs. Mixter step
ped to the door of their home to talk
with their friend leaving their two
children, jeanette aged two and one
half years and Louise aged eleven
months in the room alone. The young
er of the children crept to the cellar
door and finding it ajar pulled it open
and passing through the door fell
down the cellar stairs and into the
water.
The srceames of jeanette, the older
child brought the parents into the
room where they discovered that the
baby was missing; search about the
house failed to reveal the whereabouts
of the child until Mrs. Mixter noticing
the open cellar door ran down the
stairs and reaching into the water at
the foot Of the stairs found the body
of her baby. Mrs. Mixter Immediate
ly held her child by the feet head
downwards. permitting the water to
run from out the lungs. DIR. W. H
Maddox responded promptly to a
hurry call sent over the phone and
restorative Treatments administered
by the mother and doctor saved the
little life from being snuffed out. We
imagine that. the time and trouble
of taking up and cleaning out that eel.
lar drain will seem a very small
thing to do now and yet very i'm.
portant thing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mixter are to be con.
graduated upon the happy ending o1
this accident that might easily have
resulted in the loss Of their child.

REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.

Our present system Of government
through representatives elected by
the people is good, but it has two
faults that should be plain to all.
First=Legislatur sometimes pass
laws that are not approved by ma
jority Of the people. YET they are
powerless To prevent their going into
operation, and they must remain n
force at least two, and perhaps more
years before they can be repealed.
Second-Press of business in leg
islature, or designing obstruction by
selfishly interested parties often pre-
vents the enactment Of laws demand
ed by the people.
It is a simple business proposition.
and not a partisan political one, that
the voters Of the state should have
the power to prevent law the ma
jority disapproye of from going into
effect, and it is equally clear that
when the legislature will not or can
not enact a law tie people ask for
that majority of them may enact
Il themselves.
ms Is what Mr. JEFFERSON and Mr..
Lincoln meant when they advocated
that the people should have more leg
islative power, although the initia-
tive and referendum was not known
by these names then, although the
principle OF them has always been IN
force to some extent, as is seen in
the submitting OF constitutional
amendments to the people to vote
upon direct, and We all know how
various political and other organiza-
tions from time immemorial have
drawn up resolutions and petitions
for legislation, though without power
to compel action upon them by law
making bodies as is provided by the
initiative and referendum laws OF To-
day.
