present initiative law. That is, it
gives to the people the right and pow
er to initiate and propose q law or an
amendment to u constitution. It
goes on and states how such amend
ment or amendments may be proposed
by petition and then it states:
SHOULD any such amendment or
amendments proposed by initiative Pc
tition and submitted, to the people, re-
ceive A MAJORITY OF ALL THE
LEGAL VOTES CAST AT SUCH
GENERAL ELECTION. etc."
From this it will be plainly seen that
in order to become a law, it must have
a majority of legal votes cast at the
election and not a majority Of. the
votes cast N the proposition.
Before election, Townley, in all of
his newspapers made this very Gear,
and most emphatically urged the peo-
pie to be sure to vote on. these amend
ments or else their votes would he
counted against them. After the ell
ection, when it was discovered that
some of the amendments initiated nv
the socialists had failed to pass. the
tune is changed, and it is now that
only a majority Of those who voted on
the proposition was necessary.

Ye scribe returned Tuesday from
Edmore where he spent a few days
visiting relatives and old friends. We
had expected to remain longer but
owing to Editor Crary's absence we
were forced to return. It is a pleas
ure to mix with the people of that en-
terprising little city,ttwho are such
royal entertainers, such community
builders, and who work together with
the n end in view-that Of lettering
their community and making it a bet
ter place in which to live. In these
things they have succeeded and it is
with pleasure that we can give them
credit for having a real progressive,
up-to-date, thriving little town-a
condition which is generally the re-
verse in the average town of it's size.

Christmas will be over with when
you get this issue. The New Year is
at hand. The events of the past year
are probably more numerous, more er.
tectlve, more decisive, more full of
sadness and sorrow, more full of sick
ness and death, than any preceding
year that any n of us can recollect.
On the battlefields glorious results
have been obtained, and for the first
time in many years the the ultimate
peace is in sight. Politically the past
year has wrought changes that will go
down into history, some that will
change other governments. The ulti-
mate results of these changes are to
be demonstrated in the near future.
Never has the world known such un-
rest in he political field as has been ev-
lnced in the past. The next ten
will be unusually full of interest for
tn e commonwealth. Sane thought is
necessary that serious errors be not
made. In the mad rush for victory.
blinded by successes, many a general
has made disastrous blunders, fallen
into traps, disastrous to his army,
and so may the political generals
make their errors, casting all precau-
ton aside, merely depending on the
fact that they have the masses with
them. For any one to have and re-
tain the confidence of the masses, it is
absolutely necessary to give to all
classes, and even sacrifice some of the
privileges hat could be obtained for
their W party. An absolute and
world change in political affairs is
revolution, and brings chaos in the
affairs for some time to come. With
comn]ete power a party can make
gradual changes, so as not to disr7,nt
social and commercial agencies. The
next year therefore will be of world
wide Importance for states and M
lions. T.,
