What was the Hasty de failing
biIl-making the initiative SO
strong that President Wilson
wired protest against it's pas
sage, and monster indignation
meeting was held in Denver to
also protest against it's adoption?
What vas it?"
Simply Il requirement that
would make it necessary for So
licitors for initiated hills to hire
notary public to go along to
take the afiidavits of those sign
ing the petitions.
OF course Hasty was limo
cent OF the exact nature of the
detailing process. as was Repre-
sentative Cole, who also favored
the bill; but you know that how
ever much you had an initiative
measure at heart, you couldn't
afford to have a no ary go along
with you. and nobody else could
outside of the intercsts-and
nobody else would.
The interests though under
stood the nature of the detailing,
SO every las6 lick-spitule tool of
the high lollar was back of the
II easure, and the Ioboies were
full of their emisaries.
In the senate the republicans,
with the aid of the corporation
democrats, passed the measure
by good majority, and the bill
was passed on to the house
where, had it not been for the
quick action of the progressive
democrats and the President
Wilson message, the e-tailing
would have been completed.
OF course Hasty didn't intend
his bill to detail the irnitiative
back of it's ears, and Cole was
innocent in tie matter: but every
progressive in the state knew it,
and, strange but true, the cor
porate interests knew thence
why they we're moving heaven
and earth to get the bill into law.
Now, had the bill become u
law, who could have used the in
Iitiative except the grdfters, the
profiteers, and the trusts-who
else could have hired solicitor:
and notary publics to work up
initiated bills?
President Wilson saw that tht

the overthrow of populal

because he was doggoned good
fellow, because he was the best
billyard player in all the west,
because of his very formal ex-
pression-'verily say unto you

reader of these old.time-wrile le-ups
ION the side), and we conse-
quently would not want to pass
him unnoticed; and for ether rea-
sous, inclusive of good will and
the hope of his continued future
happiness.
One of Sans most thoroughly
understood accomplishments was
his manipulation of the billyard
cue. So far as we ever learned,
he never played any champion
games, but in making the worries
do as he wanted them to it would
have taken something of a cham
pion to have laid it over him.
II there was anything that
Sam liked better than game Of
billyards. it was another game of
billyards. If there was a day
during his stay in Boston that he
didn't play from one game up. it
was when he forgot to get up,
which he never did, or he was off
his feed, which we never knew
him to be, or there We're a whole
lot of other things. which we
never knew to happen. He was
MT pool-hall loafer, but several
times during the day, and gener-
ally at night, he would drop in
for a game with someone, and if
there wasn't anyone he would
have a game with himself.
OF course we presume Da'zell
had claim out somewhere, but
really we never knew him to live
outside of the city limits as long
as over night-so far as know re-
membered. A preemption though
only required a six months resi-
dence. and counting one might
in a week to constitute residence,
it is possible he may have prov
ed up a preemption; or he may
have had a claim and never prov

under his wing and wat = sui care

Sam took special delight in
mimicking the cute little ways
of children, which he could do,
as Roosevelt would say, to fraz
zle, to the great amusement OF
the children themselves.

Sam entered by way of the bi

to say we don't think he ever did
