The heroes are not all shoul-
dering guns and marching away
to the war. There was a mine
disaster in Butte, Montana, last
week, and Manus Duggan, 20
year-old tool boy, saved twenty
five of his comrades from death,
and sacrificed his own life. And
at the very hour he was sacrific-
ing his life, in his little home a
faithful wife passed through her
travail and brought forth a new
life, the JOY of whose coming will
never be known by the father.
But what a heritage will be that
baby's portion in the years to
come! To know the father was
a hero and a noble martyr, who
freely gave his life that others
might live.

The recent legislature enacted
three good IaWs-the anti-gam-
bling bill, the red-light abate-
ment, and the minimum wage
law for women, and now all of
them have been nullified by ref
erendum petitions. The refer
endum was touted as the great
est law ever placed in the hands
of the common 'peepel" to pre-
serve their rights, and compel
the enactment of wholesome laws
by the legislature. The people
of this state can easily under
stand that when the owners of
houses of prostitution, the gam
blers and crooks, the pimps and
prostitutes, and employers of
women at starvation wages, join
hands to hold up these three
laws they are actuated solely by
lofty motives in the interest of
good government and a higher
and better civilization, and put
ting a quietus on presumptious
legisl ature that has attempted to
abridge the rights and liberties
of the people. Perhaps it would
be well if the good citizens of
the state initiated an amendment
to the constitution to wipe out
the initiative and referendum,
and get back to sane principles
of government.

For the next eighteen months
poker playing or any other kind
of gambling is just as legal and
harmless as croquet or tiddle-de-
winks, and prostitution and a red
light district are also to be con-
sidered the correct thing in So
ciety. The referendum petitions
have nullified the laws until they
can be submitted to the voters
in November, 1918.

The mayor of Albuquerque is
faithful to his bosses. He was
elected to Office last spring by
the whiskey element of that city.
Albuquerque was selected as a
mobilization camp for the nation
al guard and regular army, but
under the rules of the depart
ment certain restrictions on the
saloons as to opening and closing
were required, and the mayor
and council refused to pass the
necessary ordinances, probably
with the idea that work had al
ready been started for the camp,
and no changes would be made.
Gov. Lindsey, on being advised
of the action, ordered all work
stopped, and asked the War
Department to change the site to
Santa Fe. Then the business
men Of Albuquerque woke up.
and a hurried meeting of the
council was called, which the
mayor refused to attend, and the
ordinance required was passed.
Cities that elect men to office
who are in the power of the
whiskey crowd can always expect
such work. There is no loyalty
and patriotism among saloon
keepers, and the mobilization of
an army interests them only as
furnishing more customers to
frequent their hell-holeS.
