is made so by a vote Of the people.
As TO the fact that it Is not operative

agreed. But the situation surround
Ing the possibility Of making any Of
the laws effective by means of a ref

1T seems, however, that the several
opinions can be h~arrnonixed on only
one basis. 1t is agreed by the four
judges that the constitution applies
equally to legislation by special ses-
stons and BY regular sessions. 1t is
agreed that the July first provision
governs in oil cases. Obviously the
procedure cannot be changed except
BY amending the constitution. The
constitution can be amended in either
Of only two ways, viz: on the initiative
OF the Legislature, as prescribed, or on
the initiative Of the people, as is also
set forth with great care. The con
%stitution provides no method where
by a bill which is unconstitutional
can be made constitutional by having
it referred to and approved by the
people. The. only way open is first to

STANDARD FLOUR

Julitls H. Barnes, director Of the
United States Grain Corporation, is
placing great emphasis on the fact
that the Organization is placing on sale
standard flour al prices considerably
lower than arc charged for the patent
grades, and that this flour 10 finding
Il ready sale wherever it is offered.
II Mr.! Barnes has devised a way in
which the houEekeepers can eject
material savings in the cost of their
food, he is TO be commended for his
energy in this direction. 1t is WE'LL
however, to remember that stand
ard flour is no new thing, nor is It
a new thing for flour of this charac-
tor to be sold ut a comparatively low
price.
A bushel of good wheat contains
elements which will make a certain
number of pounds of flour of a GER
tain grade. 1t contains other ele-
ments which, if added, will increase
the quantity o., flour. but the flour
will be of a different grdde. The
miller may separate these ele-
ments and make flours of several
grades, or he may combine them and
produce but one grade. The prin-
ciple is exactly that which applies to
meat. A carcass contains so many
pounds, worth so much per pound in
bulk. If the carcass is divided there
will be a certain percentage OF steaks
and roasts, and a certain percentage
Of shanks, neck, and so forth; and

he must pay for them a higher price
than he pays for the rag ends.

highly refined. But the fact is tina

Old folka. young folks, everybody

Join the darkics' Sunday school and

Leave a chunk OF chewing gun and
razor at the door.
And we'll tell you Bible stories that
you never heard before.
Adam was the first man and Eve she

They lost their job Of swiping fruit
and went to keeping house.
All was very peaceful and quiet on

Until a. little baby came and they
started raising Cain.
Noah va the keeper of the Asiatic
zoo.
He built an ocean liner when he
hadn't much to do.
One day he got excited when the sky
was getting dark.
So he gathered all his animals and
put them in the ark.
1t rained for forty days and it rained
for forty nights.
The water washed the land complete
ly out of sight!
But when Noah was a-wondering az
to what he better do.
| The ark hit Mount ArarAt and stuck
as tight as glue!
Daniel wasaa brave man who wouldn't
mind the king;
The king he said he eve beard OF
such a thing. r
Thrust him down a manholc with
lions all beneath,
But Daniel was a dentist-and pulled
the lions teeth!
! Jonah was an emigrant, 70 runs the

He took an ocean voyage in = trans

Jonah in the whale made the whale

So Jonah pushed the button and tn.

THE LONG STRUGGLE FOR
FREEDOM.
New York World.

"
1t would be interesting to know
how many of the thousands of alien
reds now under arrest have any
knowledge Of the long history OF self
government: OF the painful struggles
attending the movement: of the reason
for written onsjtutions; of the
theory and practice of majority rule
and the limitations placed upon it, and
OF the rights which are guaranteed to
minorities.
The United States government was
formed by revolutionists. BY the
terms Of it's great charter it is possible
for persistent Inajortties to undo all
thai hal been done and eat a sys-
tenn wholly new, but they must act at
al times in obedience to | law. If ma
~jorities are thus held to the obsers-
ance of constitutional method. it fol-
lows as a matter Of course that the
same restrictions apply to minorities.
The minority. s~afeguarded in its. true
rights rs against a lawless majority,
engages in laWlessness at its peril.
Nothing but ignorance amounting
to crime could fix in the mind Of any
body. foreign or native born, the idea
controlling the Russian reds in this
country that their %blatantiy pro-
claimed revolution is possible by
violence. What "a accomplished at
Petroerad by a desperate minority can
not BE- repeated here. a determined
override a minority by force. but a
minority attem ptins anything of the
kind would encounter, in addition to
the law, the numbers capable of en-
forcing II. On that fact, in any stu
atfon short OF the chaos that followed
the fail Of ~autocracy in Russia, rests
the stability OF the repubiic.

SNAKES SWIM GULF.

snakes in large numbers frequently
have been swimming in the Gulf of
Mexico near the Half Moon light
house, seven miles from mainland and
four miles from the peninsula to the

keep the light. Recently three rattlers
were killed on the lighthouse platform

snakes, which they Say are a menace
to live stock. However, it is reported
by a number of farmers that fat
cattle, bitten by rattlers, do not die,
the poison from the bite Of n snake
being insufficient to kill them.
