Amending Initiated Laws.

=. Under the present law measure
adopted by the people can be amended
or changed by the legislature through
the means of an enabling act. The pro
posed Amendment No. 13 provides that
the legislature can not make change
except by three-four.hs vote of its
members
While an unfavorable legislature
might secure majority vote against
the wishes of the people it would be
almost impossible for them to get Il
three -fourths vote in favor of change,
unless conditions truly warranted Il
change. Yet, if it should develop that
legislation passed by the people was
really bad. there would be no trouble
in getting it repealed or amended by a
three fourthS vote.

While from his lips the song and

For God put music in his soul to sing
Despite the burden of country's
wrongs;
Yet, as we listen, we can always hear
A minor. cadence in his mirthful
songs.
All! he has known the pain Of hope

Though hidden meath a seeming

The dreams we dreamed, the faith

Once more our hearts must bear the

But though the dream in ruin fell, yet

s'NN FEM.

For seven times hundred years
We fought for Liberty,
Through persecution. blood and tears,
And heartless tyranny;
The mercy that we sought in pain
Was given US in steel,
But now to sing the glad refrain
And moral conquest seal.
Well sing with voice and heart and
soul,
Sinn Fein!
With Truth and Justice on patrol,
Sim, Fein!
God bless the Orange, White and
Green
That floats where Liberty is queen.
Those gallant colors proudly mean
Sim Fein! Sim Fein!
Mid tragic gloom, with buoyancy,
We fought for our dear sod,
To see the way we wish to see,
And grow to suit our God.
Then let us show our nations worth
AS in the past was shown;
Let us be good to all the earth,
And better to our own.
Refrain: Well sing, etc.
The scorn is DER, the hatred dead,
The Irish race is free;
With Joyous hearts to go ahead
And shape its destiny.
So let US laugh and love and sing,
And glorify the Lord,
As Irish cheers in Ireland ring
With all the worlds accord.

Oh, Marie Mine, my heart is glad,
The summer days are nigh;
The sunny days with sunlit haze,
Beneath the sunset sky.
And hand in hand through Wonder
land
A-dreaming we will go,
Ger field and vale and fairy dale,
To the hill where the poppies grow.
Oh, Marie Mine, I hear again
The same sweet roundelays,
In the heart o. me is the melody
The fairy piper plays:
The whole day long he sings the song,
In measure soft and low,
That takes me back along the track,
To the hill where the poppies grow.
Oh, Marie Mine, my lovely girl,
A sthorin gal mo chroidhe,
The blossoms rare, the scented air,
Are calling you and me:
BY golden thread our souls are led,
Our hearts with love a-glow
The live-long day will light the way
To the hill where the poppies grow.

SHEPHERD BECAME A PRINCE
Emir Feisai Of Arabia Seemed an Al.
together Negligible Object In His
Early Life.

Emir 'Feisal of Arabia began life as
a dirty little shepherd boy. His moth
er was an Arabian girl of Mecca and
a cousin of his father. When Feisal
was still baby Shereef Husseln sent
him into the desert to live with a
Bedouin tribe. because 1t is considered
more wholesome for boy to grow
up in the open desert country than In
a city or village. In COnstantinOple
Feisal contracted consumption, writes
Lowell Thomas In Asia. but since then
the desert has taken II out of him. al
though he is still very thin and has a
waist only 81 inches In circumference.
He smokes cigarettes day and night
and eats sparlngly. Among the tribes
he is celebrated as an unusually fine
shot and n good horseman and camel
rider. Felsal is enlightened and thor
oughly modern In his views. His peo-
pie follow him, not through fear, but
because they love him. He Is much
too kind and liberal-mlnded to rule
as an oriental despot of the old school
and he may be depended upon TO usher
in an entirely new order Of things for
his people.

Encourage the Swallow.

II you want to free the neighbOr-
hood Of mosquitoes encourage swallows
to make themselves at home, says the
American Forestry association Of
Washington. These birds feed almost
entirely upon obnoxious insects and
they will do much toward protecting
orchards and other trees from insect
pests. No better investment can be
made, therefore, than some houses set
out for martins and other swallows. OF
the blue swallows the purple martin is
the largest, the male being entirely
blue above and below. while the female
is blue above with gray breast. Swal-
lows are highly migratory, most Of
them spending the winter in South
America.

JAPAN REALLY BACK NUMBER
Prove That the Chinese Are the
More Progressive.

II may strike the western reader as
simply funny. but more than one Chi
nese friend has assured me that it Is
the japanese people who are really
conservative. And they back up their
assertion by evidence other than the
all historic, vicissitudes. to a primitive
theocracy. John Dewey writes in Asia
Magazine. They point out. for exam
pie that a thousand years ago the jap
anese borrowed the present style Of
clothing and of household furnishing,
of sitting and sleeping on mats, from
China; that China has changed sew
eral times, moving constantly in the d.
recti0n of practical util. " ingeni-
Gus adaptation of means to needs. The
Chinese cuisine is another argument.
1t is doubtless the most extensive in
the world in the variety of material
employed for food. and also the most
varied in its combinations. Academic
analysis may despise arguments drawn
from food, clothing, shelter and fur
nishings. But when one notes the va
riety and ingenuity of the processes
and appliances used in daily life and in
the crafts. one is certain that the Chi
nese mind is naturally Observant and
adaptive. But it seems unnecessary to
labor the question. Many charges have
been brought against the Chinese, but
no one has ever accused them OF stu
pidity. Their undOubted conservatism
Is something to be explained rather
than an explanation of anything.

USED BY ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
Graeco-Roman Medical and Surgical
Instruments Of Bronze Now in
Johns Hopkins University.

William Fl. Buckler. who served on
the staff Of the American embassy in
London during the war, has presented
to the Archeologist museum Of JOh= 8
Hopkins university, of which he was a
former trustee, a set of ancient GraecO-
Roman medical and surgical instru-
ments found two years ago near Kolo-
phon, in Asia Minor.
The collection was on exhibition in
London and was formerly in the pos
session of the late Alfred o. Van Len
nep. Dutch vice consul in Smyrna, who
owned a large estate near KOlOphon
and was well acquainted with the ex-
cavations and discoveries In that VI
cinity.
The instruments. SO in number, are
all of bronze. with but one exception.
They were probably the property Of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
D., and the fact that they were all
found In one place is doubtless ex-
planned. In the opinion Of experts, By
the ancient custom of burying a per-

The set includes surgical knives and
elevators, forceps, tenacula (sharp
hooks), a unique drill bow. for use In
injuries and diseases Of the skull,
scoops. probes and a cautery.
The drill bow is, from the point Of
view of the archeOlogist. perhaps the
most interesting object. 1t is like a

Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient

that there would never again be any

The young woman in this case
clalmed 10 be able 10 tell who commit
ted n certain theft In her neighborhood.
She said farmers oats had been
stolen by man and boy; that they
drove bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would be found at certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story TO be true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the information was In no po-
sitlon to know the facts she related
except through communlng with "the

her being a witch, with the result that

Perhaps you are trying to run one or more
Boys right this minute. Then you will know
that since the world began they were never

hopes and your aims center on them. You
must deliver them out of Boyhood into
successful Manhood.
Will your sons stay with the land, or will
the willo-the-wisp of the cities call them
away! Armies of country Boys, who could
be happiest and most successful on farms,
respond to the artificial glamour of town life
before they are old enough to know their
own minds. They do not know that the
rewards of country life-in money, health,
and happincss-are far greater. Make them
realize that Guide the restless ambitions
of your Boys and spare no pains!
Machines have been powerful factor i'm stem.
ming the flow to the cities. Machines Danish
drudgery and make labor interesting; machines
foster the love of mechanics in the Boy; machines

help keep them contented.
